| 636476 | 2008-02-02 03:56:00 | Hmmm (blogs.pcworld.co.nz), with predicted energy crisis's etc you can count on the Yanks to come up with something like that, although could be useful to launch satellites | Morgenmuffel (187) | ||
| 636477 | 2008-02-02 04:00:00 | "Now comes the the slightly alarming news that the US Navy is testing a real-world, ship-to-land version of a railgun - an electro-magnetic weapon popularised by Quake and other shoot-em-ups, albeit in make-believe worlds" That sounded way too good to be true, then I noticed the grammar error and realized it probably is. |

Just fire it straight ahead to slow down promptly, although it is unlikely there will then be anything in front to justify the stop. The iRail is going to be thinner, deadlier and prettier and can be re-loaded from iShells. |
