What is going on here?
Ron Paul on the UN:
"Those bureaucrats are not satisfied by meddling only in international disputes, however. The UN increasingly wants to influence our domestic environmental, trade, labor, tax, and gun laws. Its global planners fully intend to expand the UN into a true world government, complete with taxes, courts, and a standing army. This is not an alarmist statement; these facts are readily promoted on the UN’s own website. UN planners do not care about national sovereignty; in fact they are actively hostile to it. They correctly view it as an obstacle to their plans. They simply aren’t interested in our Constitution and republican form of government."
And now he goes to the UN to take private property away?
Link Please? What the heck are you rambling about? |

Then they can use the energy to kill people with high powered laser beams (seems its only stuff like that gets research budgets these days :/ )
They tried that in "Real Genius": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG3g8Saea5E |

I know that if I was trillions in debt I would be buying 1/2 billion dollar blimps!
They would be better off flying a fighter CONSTANTLY vs this blimp if it is really 500 million. First of all they have the fighter and the pilots and they could get some training/flight time out of it. Second, the response time would be much better with a fighter in the air. The blimp might let us know something is coming but the fighter can both do the same job and potentially kill the target. I am sure they can sell the blimp claiming it has some detection edge, but the main thing is getting a radar in the air up high, and the radars on modern fighters are quite good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-22_Raptor#AvionicsFighter jets are loud, expensive, and need to be refueled. Its expensive to refuel them. Blimps can just chill. Agreed but... You already have the jets. So which is better, $1,000,000,000 for two blimps or jet fuel. Even if you need LOTS of jet fuel for a BILLION dollars. And the blimps still leave you just a few more moments of notice against a cruise missile, while a jet in the air could actually destroy the cruise missile in time. A jet sitting on the ground will not make it in the air in time. The pair is just under 1/2 billion, according to the link in the OP. Your right, but does not negate my point. The price tag for the blimps is $450,000,000. An F22 uses 4000lbs of fuel an hour or about 5,840,000 gallons a year. At $6 a gallon it is still under $36 million. Having the F22 in the air is a great advantage if you are react quickly. |

I was expecting something entirely different when I clicked on this Thread.

I wonder how hard it would be for a terrorist to hit the blimp with a laser and take out the ordinance?
Hitting it at 10000 feet with a laser? You would need a very big laser to do any damage. Maybe then painting it with a laser and using a guided rocket. It just seems too easy to knock down such a high priced boondoggle. It might also get a good read on who did it. If you have a rocket that can go 10,000 feet and destroy the blimp you can do a lot more damage against other targets then the blimp itself. Nobody is going to shoot at it. What about buying a really high watt microwave, rigging it to work with the door open, wigging a focusing dish around it, and pointing it at the blimp? I think that may at least add a crapton of noise to their radar systems. Do it enough times without any follow-up attacks, in a sense like the boy who cried wolf (or like the boomerang in the movie "How to Steal a Million"), and they may end up thinking it's too much of a pain in the ass to keep going with. On the other hand, North Korea is claiming to have nukes, and I DO live within DC's blast radius... You would be tracked pretty quickly! And all of your neighbors would drop their wifi connections.  |

Drones also don't work in DC because of the potential for them to malfunction. 2 gigantic blimps just say, "I'm in charge," in a really concrete way, also avoiding the panic if some drone goes haywire.
The blimps are drones and can go haywire as well. Blimps are much more endangered by storms or even high wind then conventional drones. An F22 says I am in charge more then a blimp. |

BFL design is how it should have been done there should be no reason to need that many chips
Each design has its merits. The Avalon design is cheaper do design and has lower startup costs. The BFL design is much more expensive to start but is cheaper to manufacture and cheaper to run long term. The real prize goes to who builds first, and in this case it is Avalon. If they can pump out two or three rounds of these they make a pretty good profit. There also may be a secondary market for these chips outside of bitcoin. What a pile of wishful thinking. Do you survive life on daily basis with all the big IFs? Secondary market for these chips? LOL It is not wishful thinking, they are taking orders for batch two now. This strategy has worked. Considering that these chips probably cost less then $5 each, a single chip on a USB device as a SHA256 accelerator that could be sold at a profit for $39. Tom would like to thank you for letting him know he's successful. This community got jerked left and right and still keep smiling to the next scam. You seem to be talking about something quite different then me, or the subject of this thread. I am talking about Avalon, a company that has started to ship. |
