State of the Art Military Flight Sim...
« on: August 31, 2009, 11:37:49 AM »
This Ultra-HD, Multi-Million, Military F-16 Flight Simulator runs on 120 Intel Dual Core PCs with $400 graphic cards inside a special industrial casing.

Take a look at the terrain graphics...

I'll bet in 20 years we all have a little "bubble" in our basement that we play flight sims in.

I'd wouldn't pay anymore than $29.95 per month...  Wonder if friendly collisions are on?

AH looks better than that?  Even from the low-res video, I can tell that it's an insult to the F-16 simulator to compare them.

Probably before then!

I was listening to NPR yesterday on the ride home from work, and I caught a segment on a challenge to build the world's smallest laser.  One team built a laser so small that it cannot be seen through a microscope.  It resides on a floating molecule of gold.

Here's an article:  http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112416498

Fascinating.  And my brain struggles to comprehend the actual size of it, let alone how they made it!
