Im not sure what AAR is but for some reason I enjoy reading your updates.

Thats mind boggling.

Well duh, like you originally said, it takes 10Ft. Lol, that reminds me of one of my favorite shows from back in the day, The A-Team. In one particularly funny episode a helicopter full of bad guys crash into the side of a hill, bursts into flame and crashes in a heap at the bottom. Cut away and cut back and we see said bad guys climbing out of the flaming wreckage and running off.

I cant speak for every case but when these type attacks occur its usually because either the animal itself was hurt/sick and unable to hunt its traditional prey or it was forced to new hunting grounds due to humans and simply took an attack of opportunity.

Heres the wiki article on the Active Denial System in case anyone is interested. I wonder if the emitter fires in a straight line or a conical shape. I would assume the latter because the former would only zap 2-3 people at a time.

I use Logitech 2.4Mhz wireless w/ vibration and they are outstanding. Surprisingly long battery life and Ive never lost connection unless the batteries died.

Excellent point Sur, I forgot about that. I thought you meant he had aquired powers that would prevent him from dying such as Claire's healing power. @astr0creep: Nope, so far Linderman is a shadowy voice on the phone. @Oerwinde: Yes, I too think the legendary Japanese hero is Hiro.

Im a little confused. Why isnt he allowed to die? He never got to Claire.

Ive been reading about this platform for a while now, very interesting. AFAIK, the reason it hurts to be hit by this is that it heats the water in your skin and yes, 130F hurts. I also believe thats its lowest setting and can be dialed up easily. Pity we wont have a chance to deploy it in Iraq and get some real world experience with its performance, potential counter measures, maintenance in the field/resistance to damage, etc... I see a lot of promise with this especially considering its excellent downfield range.

Im going to avoid that link like the plague but Ill go ahead and guess is going to die. Looking back on last episode

Well all things being equal, why would they roll back to previous craptacular versions of the AI when later versions were superior? Its like reinventing the wheel over and over.

Haven Hmm, what to say about this. TBH, Im not sure I know WTF happened.

The link is the same for all of them. Just change the number from 001 through 017 D'oh. That makes sense, thanks. Meh. I wouldnt have know that unless I read the comic you linked. Wasnt he jailed by the FBI in season one? It kinda irks me that events unfold in the comics that areing in the series. Like you said, how Sylar was recaputred is a mystery unless you read the comic. Oh well, off to dl.

@ Kor, Nartwak: Do either of you have a link to all the comics in .pdf form? Id like to dl and save the entire series.

Haha, I wasted time converting those figures back to metric before I realised where you got the figures. According to wiki its more like 2 kg of TNT. Hmm, that seems fairly worthless for shore bombardment, anti-ship, anti-tank.....well, pretty much anything other then anti-missle and anti-aircraft defence.

Only a mass exodus of Windows users.

Can any of you big brains calculate the expolsive yield produced by the kinetic impact of a 7.05 Lb object traveling at 148,291 MPH?

Do 12-ounce curls and smoking count as sports? I kid, I kid. I suppose the only actual sport I do is golf. I dont really consider it a physically demading activity because, well, I drive a cart around the course whist smoking and drinking heavily, only getting out of the cart long enough to hit my ball or ridicule one of my buddies for hitting it like a Sally.

Fascinating. The seeming scale of the picture looks like they have gotten these down to a managable size now. Wish they would have discussed the power generation/consumption of the gun and how frequently it can be fired. That's probably a state secret, don't you think? Not sure the Navy wants every country to start their own super-weapon production, now that they have just got theirs ... Lol, I suppose, if youre a stickler for "state secrets" and "national security". I was really more interested in whether or not they had worked out the kinks outlined in the Wiki article on railguns such as the rails needing replacement after almost ever shot. Also, as Gorth pointed out, they still require a ridiculous amount of juice.

I think the most ominous sound in the world is the sound of a single action revolver cylinder rotating as the hammer is locked. That soft little triple click is as loud as thunder, especially when it is coming from behind you. Heh, I would vote for the sound of a pump action shotgun. The funnest weapon Ive fired is the MAK-90 (the "sport" version of an AK-47). Great accuracy right out of the box and a satisfying sound when fired. I currently own the pistol that was my fathers back in the day when he was a cop, a Colt .357 Super Trooper II.

Fascinating. The seeming scale of the picture looks like they have gotten these down to a managable size now. Wish they would have discussed the power generation/consumption of the gun and how frequently it can be fired.

I cant wait for this to come back on. Caught a preview the other day that said they will be introducing another new Hero in the first episode that supposed to be uber powerful.

I may be thinking of the wrong person but doesnt Sarge kinda look like Lurch from The Addams Family? (thats not intended as an insult)

Whats a tosser? Jerk, A-hole, etc...?
