Sorry! The DSL OptusNet portal can only be accessed
from an OptusNet DSL connection.

Only OptusNet Broadband customers can access our "customers only" portal.

Hey Evan, just checking this out at work but the link you posted took me to this story:

"Gartner: Beware of Bofra exploit [09:30]
Hackers are set to increase their use of banner ad exploits as a means of gaining remote control of computers. "

I can see where your teleporting story is,

"Military sci-fi? [11:44] (9.80MB)
CNN's Barbara Starr looks at a U.S. Air Force project some critics say is science fiction, not science. (November 26)"

but there is no direct link to the article as it seems to just come up with a screen to play a video.

If there is a video of teleportation actually working there is no way Optus would have exclusive rights to it... might have to search the net and see if we can find it elsewhere.

funny you should mention that. I recorded the audio from the mpg and got lots of wicked samples out of it. eg. "soul teleportation" & "we do science, not science fiction" and a few you will hear in tracks soon Smile
I searched CNN and every news site I was aware of in the technology/science/space sections and found no other new service covering it.
ohh...have we stumbled across a conspiracy. Have the government already teleported back in time and removed any evidence of such an article and I have the only shread of evidence.
I need to secure my fort and get offline....I'm goin underground :rol:
Pimp!

Didnt some uni students in OZ make headlines not that long ago for something similar to this. I believe they were able to make something like a laser beam move location or something like that. It wasnt a big distance or anything but from what I remember it was the first time anyone had achieved something like that and the principles behind what they did could work on a larger scale.

"The internet .. this site heavily included, has become this race amongst trainspotters to know what the 'latest' tune, fad, bullshit is ... a lot of artists on the scene, djs included etc. dont post/read your opinions because a few of you take this 'critiquey trainspotting lick' way too far - perhaps you arnt aware of this, but im telling you this ... why do you think andy c never posts on these boards ... i know youd all like him to - so whos suffering ... andy?"

yeah, that was mentioned by the news reporter. The article she refers to is the funding of a study by the US Military into the physics of teleportation including the methods of "transport by mind power" and "teleporting by bending time & space" as well as asking scientist to answer questions such as "can your soul be transported along with your body"
It's mind blowing thinking that there are super powers investing in questions as sci-fi as this. It's brilliant but at the same time imagine the US Military being able to teleport people to any place in the world/universe at the press of a button... Look what they do know with the unjust war in iraq..what more diabolical injustice can they do with this power....?
Big Brother is coming......

LOL

its funny, cos the idea of 'teleportation' came about because it was a cheaper special effect for the star trek producers of the 1960s to do than make a model space ship land on a planet and have them all walk out.

Yeah it was a laser, they moved a Photon I believe. Theres this thing in Quantum Physics where it's theoretically possible for a single object to exist in two places at the same time ..don't ask me how the fuck it works, but it happens. That's how they're building quantum computers at the moment; instead of using electrical signals to switch between an on and off state (1 and 0) they can make electrons (or photons, I can't remember what ones they used) spin in two directions at the same time using lasers, so you can have on and off at the same time, or different variations ..bah too much to explain, but basically they kinda did the same thing with the teleportation, using the fucked up quantum states.

Check the archives of New Scientist, they had an article in there about it that explained it a lot better than I just did, it should be online somewhere in there Big Grin
