Cloaking device
Wow, they've actually constructed a cloaking device which, whilst not invisible to the human, is invisible to microwaves. Seems like the beggining of something awesome, or plain annoying.
Invisibility?

I changed my mind. It's not scary anymore. 
Too bad we're not to the point yet where we can actually make ourselves invisible.

ya pointless unless the military uses microwaves for detection which i somehow doubt, yet do not know.

I was actually thinking about something that would work almost the same way yesterday.
Pretty impressive but seemingly useless. I'd still rather see a device that bends visible light waves instead of freakin' food-cooking energy.

I don't care about it now either, but i do care about the possibilties of expansions on this in future.

radars work via microwaves.
and sadly, to develop a meta material like this that can effect ALL the visible spectrum will be near impossible for some time still

We might be closer than you think. I remember seeing pictures from a camera that could take "stealth" photos a long time ago. The person would wear some special suit and when their picture was taken, the suit was transparent.

Erm are you sure? I don't think thats very safe... using microwaves for radar...
But oh noez! Now my hot pockets will be able to avoid detection by my microwave x.x

They have something that is related to cloaking. It is this big jacket that some how bends the light to go around you, so it looks like you are invisable. Although you are not 100% invisable, it is awesome! If it were night time out NO ONE would see you. I saw it on TV once.

You'd be surprised how many little midgets are after your Hot Pockets. Yesterday i counted at least 6 in my sink alone, waiting.... for the hot pocket.... sneaky little bastards.....
I stepped on them though. Keep fighting the good fight!

God, that's useless! Why would you want to make something invisible to a microwave anyway...
Shit, we all use toasters and ovens.
I don't want cloaking shit in my hot chocolate. How the hell would that taste?
But in all seriousness, if I were in the airforce, I wouldn't really want those, because if they gave out, however they happen to glitch up, and I'm in some nasty territory, there will definately be a letter home.

Microwaves are used in radars, but it is not the same frequency and the microwaves in your microwave, so stop complaining about hot pockets 
As for an invisiblity cloak, it would need to be multiple layers for each part of the spectrum you wanted to block, and once inside one, you wouldn't be able to see out at the same frequencies.

Saw a sort of cloaking device a couple years ago. all it basicilly did was have a projection of the suit or something, It didn't look great, but could have military uses, hiding tanks, troops buildings, from overhead planes.

Yeah, saw that one, it sucked. And for hiding buildings, you'd need something a bit cheaper than huge screens.

So, it will be used on stealth planes and that kinds of things? Neat.

If they keep improving it [the cloak], it could have many uses. Like spying on your neighbours.

If an actual cloaking device is ever invented, I can see it being quickly outlawed, or not even released for the public, but instead kept for the military, etc. If civilians could get their hands on such things, it'd quickly get out of hand.

No, if a cloaking device were invented they would revert to thermal sensors. And if they come up with a way to blend their temperature too then people will start using brain wave detectors or something like that. There's always a way out.
Edit: Oh, public. Well what kind of country would even ocnsider release stealth technology to the public anyway?

About the buildings, I didn't mean skyscrapers, just small bases/tents, that the military would use.

I highly doubt cloaking technology would be put on the market. Just expect the military to advance and 'abuse' this as much as possible.

NOw you dont need the F-117 anymore, just fit a TAC plane with this and let them bring in the goodies, imagine a squadron of A-10's or SU-25's slipping through the enemy radar and raise hell. Heck, all you needed to hang underneath the plane are MK-82's.

If your talking cloaking device like actual invisibility it's more dangerous than a loaded gun, of course it won't be released to the public.

True Gangstas like me dont need cloaking devices. i just round up my crew of pipe wielding n***ers and we go jack some shit. no need for invisibility, though you might want to have it when oyu see us 0-o
