- rblancarte, on 04/04/2008, -4/+61How about a server that doesn't crap out after making the front page of Digg?
- inactive, on 04/04/2008, -1/+54OK WTF is wrong with the commenting system today.
"error... please reload page..." - kcen, on 04/04/2008, -2/+49Wonderful article... needs more explanations of the limitations in developing each technology (whether it be engineering based, energy based, or material based etc.)
- zionKing, on 04/04/2008, -1/+41the materials of tomorrow, the server of yesterday... mirror anyone?
- floort, on 04/04/2008, -0/+39I want aerogel!!!
- nekochan, on 04/04/2008, -1/+36i've been getting that all of yesterday too.
wtf accept my diggs. what is this, an inner-city polling place at the 2000 elections? - jkoski, on 04/04/2008, -1/+32Transparent alumina courtesy of Mr. Montgomery Scott
- blast_flame, on 04/04/2008, -0/+23You can buy a sample from this site.

- scrtyfrk, on 04/04/2008, -0/+18How do we know he didn't invent the bloody thing?
- phishinphree, on 04/04/2008, -0/+17Yeah!! and if you really want to push the edge, try drinking water from a clear glass.
- protodon, on 04/04/2008, -1/+15Can you imagine Crystal Pepsi out of a trasparent alumina can?!? It would be like drinking invisible! I guess I could've also said sprite or 7-up but... meh.
- insllvn, on 04/04/2008, -0/+13Sorry to hijack, but here is a mirror: http://duggmirror.com/general_sciences/10_Futurist ...
- straightflava13, on 04/04/2008, -0/+12mirrors aren't futuristic materials.
- Hoojo, on 04/04/2008, -0/+12Where's the Adamantium?
- inactive, on 04/04/2008, -0/+12Everything can have practical applications in that area.
- OwdenBowden, on 04/04/2008, -0/+12Actually the aliens that gave us the technology are smart. We are just food.
- Tmac90, on 04/04/2008, -1/+12Aerogel, Transparent alumina ,and Metal foam are the best ones in there. I like the the idea of transparent swords!
- inactive, on 04/04/2008, -0/+11it's been doing that for the last week to me
- MacEnvy, on 04/04/2008, -1/+10Rule 34.
- HonestAbe, on 04/04/2008, -1/+10Star Trek IV
*sigh* - sholt, on 04/04/2008, -0/+9Wouldn't that be a Bad Idea? y'know... insulation keeping the heat in and all that.
- chrisfrye11, on 04/04/2008, -0/+9If you come on digg and expect there to not be douches, then well, you've got another thing coming.
- Neiby, on 04/04/2008, -2/+10We already have such a material. It is codenamed GWB. There's still a bit of fine-tuning required, though. As of now, it thinks everything is a terrorist.
- Harbinger67, on 04/04/2008, -0/+8Those aren't so much fights as "Are you within 3 feet of me? Do I see you? Oh, you're dead then" incidents.
- triskele, on 04/04/2008, -0/+8Mirror anyone?
- Stonecipher26, on 04/04/2008, -9/+17Holy crap we're smart.
- MasterThief117, on 04/04/2008, -0/+7I wonder if we throw all these futuristic materials together, we could make a server that can withstand the digg effect.
- nekochan, on 04/04/2008, -0/+7unitednuclear is the best. didn't they, up to maybe last year, sell good-sized samples of some pretty bad radioactive substance?
- MasterThief117, on 04/04/2008, -5/+12According to the article, Aerogel is "99.8% empty space..." Last time I checked, air is not empty space.
- Neiby, on 04/04/2008, -0/+7Say what you want about Bob Lazar, but his company sure sells some cool stuff. I love United Nuclear. Read about the magnets they sell. The warnings are enough to scare away most people.
- CrazedLeper, on 04/04/2008, -0/+7In my wrists! Arrrrgh!!!
- jkoski, on 04/04/2008, -0/+7come out of the bitter barn and play in the hay!
- inactive, on 04/04/2008, -2/+9Do bear in mind that as these technologies get wider use, the first applications will must likely be in the sex industry.
- belthesar, on 04/04/2008, -0/+6Scotty was right. Transparent alumina(aluminum).... wave of the future.
- inactive, on 04/04/2008, -0/+6Is your house made of insulation material?
No. Its not physically strong enough.
It has insulation within its walls. - Bmarofsky, on 04/04/2008, -0/+6Wasn't that used on the Stardust space probe that passed thru the tail of a comet?
- nekochan, on 04/04/2008, -0/+6nope, standard release firefox. i should check with my copy of the beta, though.
- HonestAbe, on 04/04/2008, -0/+5It's not really a special shirt, despite the bogus description. It's just a camcorder and a projector.
- nirav72, on 04/04/2008, -1/+6Nope - No one has figured out how keep the super conductivity at room temperature.
- DaemonNivas, on 04/04/2008, -0/+5Need mirrors, it is already dead ...
- jhuebel, on 04/04/2008, -0/+5Except Halo isn't part of that little thing we call "reality".
- MacEnvy, on 04/04/2008, -0/+5Correct, the aerogel is supposed to be for insulation, not structural integrity.
- MacEnvy, on 04/04/2008, -0/+5Yup, they used the tiny pits in the surface to collect dust as it traveled through.
- RakeshAR, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4http://duggmirror.com/general_sciences/10_Futurist ...
- Napalmhaze, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4Aww damn I was first.... I know it! :p
- Tetraca, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4They still sell Uranium ores ("sold out until the snow melts"), isotopes, and Nuclear lab kits.
"Ultra High Radiation Ore" http://www.unitednuclear.com/ultra.htm
Apparently that's the highest grade you can get without needing a licence to handle it. - inactive, on 04/04/2008, -1/+5Douche.
- Harabeck, on 04/04/2008, -0/+4They want to use the metal foam for a space station, not the aerogel.
