Uh oh, reddit is leaking.

I dont think so personally. This device is a revolutionary technical breakthrough which could have serious future implications. As someone who appreciates technology, I find it very interesting.

The domain dailymail.co.uk should be blacklisted.

I wholeheartedly agree - it is the worst paper in the UK and should be aptly renamed the Daily Shit...

Seriously.

I'm investing in a copper mesh suit ASAP (copper mesh reflects microwaves). Actually, I wouldn't be surprised to see troops wearing mesh suits in the coming years as these types of weapons proliferate. I smell a new startup idea...

Raytheon finally lives up to its name. (I've always thought they should be in the ray gun business with a name like that.)

...now I am become Shiva, the destroyer of worlds...

You can't blame Raytheon for making a product that is incredibly in demand. I blame capitalism. And human nature.

[ivankirigin → kf]

I blame human nature too. What else can be attributed when large, potentially violent groups amass against trigger happy security forces?

Thankfully, no one needs to die now.

You can't blame Raytheon when they're dependent upon taking requirements from government dictate. I blame command economics. And bureaucratic whim.
