No.

Especially not after your other recent post about feeling girly today.

Irrelevant.  There was no context.  Your post consisted primarily of a statement about feeling like a girl, and therefore stands alone.

I have helpfully added the relevant portion of your statement to my previous post, to jog your memory.

batteries are coming along. Only reason there hasn't been any major breakthroughs with battery life is because we haven't really needed it.

 I do remember hearing about a 4 year laptop battery not so long ago. News about it was released a month or two ago. So by the time the other parts are small enough, the batteries will likely be ready.

Crockett, I believe they're always researching batteries-If not for something like an electric car, then for something like small portable devices. To be truthful, every battery currently out there has alot of room for improvement.

lol funny you mention anime..


there is one that actually has the characters using an exoskeleton like that one. If i remember right the 'pilot' wore a 'frame' like the one seen in the video here and the robot he piloted was human shaped but about 5X bigger than the pilot was.. and the pilot's frame was inserted in the middle of the robot so the pilot could move the thing just like he moved the frame suit.

Only that the 'robot' thing carried and fired an anti-personel minigun that had a 120mm cannon rifle on top of it and of course, could run buttering fast and jump over buildings.

I dont see why this cant be done with that suit. The tech is there. :P

It could also be used by fire departments and rescue teams.  Think about how it could be used after a major earthquake.
