Seeing Color in the Night 166
Roland Piquepaille writes "In 'Things that show color in the night,' the Boston Globe reports that a company named Tenebraex is helping color blind people to travel. But it's also developing goggles to help soldiers and physicians to see all colors at night, and not only the green color of current night vision systems. These goggles, which should become available this summer, will be sold for about $6,000 to the Army. But as states one of the founders of the company, with monochrome night vision, 'blood is the same color as water.' So these expensive night vision devices might be more targeted to Army physicians than to regular soldiers."

I'm tired of this idiot and the way he copies other articles so the silly slashdot editors can direct traffic at his half assed blog and help him make some money. He's even more annoying than the proprietary Micheal Simms.

In that case I propose a general rule - no links back to blogs of posters should be permitted. I have seen very many articles where people link to their blogs.
Surely, this is about creating _generalised principles for proper behaviour, and moral imperatives for good governance of a discussion form_ as opposed to simply _doing what is possible to damage and ostracize an individual because you think he is an ass_? If the latter is the purpose then please enlighten the audience.

Ultimately, the blame for these things lies at the very top.
And yes, I do bitch about my tax money being spent on the military: I can think of many better things to spend $1 TRILLION on than an unjustified war. A standing military for national defense is a good thing; starting wars in other countries for no good reason (and the consequential gigantic military expenditures) is not. If you disagree, I'm sure the Pentagon will happily accept your donations.

Now, sorry for being blunt (i.e. trolling), but military equipment is expensive.
Suckers who volunteer to fight in wars are a dime a dozen.
I mean, nobody pays people to reproduce, but they do it anyway, eh? The more you kill, the more will spawn.
