I'm sure a lot of you have seen this already. Probably some kind of attempt at viral marketing, but fairly well done, and hey it's got Doc and many of us are Back to the Future fans right?

    Hmmm...you've invented anti-gravity technology and the first (and only) application of the technology you can come up with is Back to the Future skate(less) boards???

    Um, yeah.

    Of course, we did hear it straight from Moby and Schoolboy!

    Rick,

    It's a little like... You figure out how to recreate living dinosaurs and the only way you can figure to make a buck is to buy an island in the Caribbean, populate it with thousands of dynos, and then fly guests in.

    It's the most ridiculous movie premise I've ever heard of. Suspension of disbelief is "right out!"

    Wait a minute....you mean.....dang, that cruise is going to be a disappointment!

    I'm making a spinoff from Jurassic Park. I'm buying several DE0 and DE2 development boards, setting them up on Amish farmland in Ohio an inviting P2 faithful to visit.... I'm calling it Terasic Park**!! :smile: Of course, sometimes that requires suspension of disbelief too!


    (** for anyone wondering, the company that makes the FPGA boards currently being used for P2 emulation is called Terasic)

    Oh... if only. :)

    Well... now that we have a handle on the Higgs boson, which gives matter the property of having mass, and mass is what warps the fabric of space-time to create what we perceive as gravity, maybe someday these things'll be real. "Bosonics"... the next technological revolution?
