i hear ya. my skeptical hackles were a-bristlin, mostly because of the
purported incredible amount progress. the thing is, they give fairly
reputeable-sounding refs. but its sent from a root, for crissakes... and who
mails from root, anyway? also, i didnt remember signing up for any mail
updates, or anything, remotely like this.
so, i went to http://www.unitelnw.com/, and my bogosity meter started
aiming way over to the red side of things. "intellerstellar space travel"?
"quantum electronic laser"? "acousto-electromagnetic hologistic resonant
system"? then their talkin about zero-point energy; this seems to be pivotal.
wtf. but, ive gotta admit, this setup is waaaaay slick. shit, their site is,
i hate to admit it, kinda classy... well, at least untill you stop lookin at
the pretty pictures and read it...
some joke. geez us h christos, man. somebody went to some lengths on this
one... and i bet their gonna get ppl too... on second thought, i dont have
the neccassary expertise to declare this kosher or not. i honestly dont know
enough to have an opinion about how viable it is or isnt... ignorance wont
kill me, yet. o well, nothin to do but learn.

hehe my ignorance shines brilliantly through once again: whats a NMR?
::reaches deep into bellybutton:: nuclear magnetic resonance? if so, i can
dig that.
absorbed in the masterful (imho) new NIN stuff,
