- ethanator1088, on 10/08/2008, -4/+47The device will be called a Hobbit. Please tell me the device is called a Hobbit :-)
- llbbl, on 10/09/2008, -1/+36Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks.
- splinter09, on 10/08/2008, -1/+33Well, it's not secret anymore is it???????
- Twag86, on 10/09/2008, -0/+24Its sonar, like a...
Like a submarine Mr. Wayne. - aznpwnzor, on 10/09/2008, -0/+23keep it secret
keep it safe - techguru2006, on 10/08/2008, -2/+24I'm Ian McKellen and I approve this message.
- skelliewag, on 10/09/2008, -1/+17If only all top secret military projects had geek names:
"Morpheus"
"Darth"
"Princess Peach"
OK maybe not the last one - darneveryone, on 10/08/2008, -5/+19And by "enemies," they mean "anti-war and anti-death penalty activists."
- infiniphunk, on 10/09/2008, -1/+14Sounds more like 'The Great Eye' to me, maybe they should call it Sauron.
- Sornos, on 10/09/2008, -0/+11Princess Peach would be an excellent name for something secret.
Because she's always in the other castle. - dvsbastard, on 10/09/2008, -0/+11Announcing a secret project...?!
- sjbdallas, on 10/09/2008, -0/+10Yeah. In the old days, movies would get their ideas from rumored pentagon tech. Now I guess the pentagon gets their ideas from summer movies. I expect that computer from Eagle Eye will be their next project..
- Higgles, on 10/09/2008, -0/+10So I guess this means Mr. Freeman resigned?
- 0tis, on 10/09/2008, -0/+8Aha! This'll fool them!

or Sting if you'd rather :D - NyteStarNyne, on 10/09/2008, -1/+8I just knew i'd be walking into a nerdfest...
Also - Fly, You Fools! - conblex, on 10/09/2008, -1/+7The device is called a Hobbit.
- bobbarkerbilly, on 10/09/2008, -0/+6Just kidding. Now watch as I pull a bunny out of my hat!
- h4mx0r, on 10/09/2008, -0/+5What computer? You mean GlaDOS?
- aznpwnzor, on 10/09/2008, -0/+5Fly you fools!
- jibone, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4If a secret Pentagon project hits the front page of Digg, is it still a secret?
- infiniphunk, on 10/09/2008, -2/+6"pot-heads" most likely. Remember, when you smoke weed, you're funding terrists.
- JackpotCity, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4Kiss the last few shreds of your privacy goodbye.
- Blandyman, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4Kinda sad that this is your 6000th post.
- malignatius, on 10/09/2008, -1/+5Fools!
- o0joshua0o, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.
- cloudberries, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4@frogle
Blimey. Someone got out of the bed on the wrong side this morning.
Is that like Will Smith in "Enemy of the State" or is it a bit more subtle, like how Jeff Bridges doesn't pay his rent in "The Big Lebowski", hence fuelling the downward spiral of poverty? - twermund, on 10/09/2008, -0/+3This sounds like it would be more accurately known as 'Sauron' or 'Dark Lord'.
- Azerael, on 10/09/2008, -0/+3Well, I'm a helicopter.
- Taedirk, on 10/09/2008, -0/+3Sadly, the First Earth Battalion's "Death Gaze" really was only effective against goats. Also, many soldiers quit the program after they learned that adopting and then discarding the cloak of invisibility meant child support payments for the next sixteen years.
- liuite, on 10/09/2008, -0/+3Congrats, your phone has just become an electronic dog collar!
- dn11, on 10/09/2008, -0/+3I think you forgot about Star Wars - the movie came first - the nonexistent technology and hype from Reagan came second.
- Murdats, on 10/09/2008, -0/+3ahhh, assumptions.
making idiots sound like idiots for centuries.
I am actually a secular humanist thank you very much. - dhVyse, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2I like this one better.

- tech10171968, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2All these people laughing at Darpa should check out the history of the internet before laughing too loudly; they'd be a little surprised at who invented it. Not all of Darpa's ideas are completely "out there", and some of them do work.
- Magnes, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2Why? It is! No one knows about it. Oh.
By the way it's more like Sauron thing not Gandalf. - JackpotCity, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2Kiss the last few shreds of your privacy goodbye.
- ai52487963, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2Sounds like a headline from the Weekly World News:
Secret Government Operation Foiled by Internet Nobody - Heiliger, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2Why do I suddenly want to know the Pentagon's books out of its hands and give it a wedgie?
- sfacets, on 10/09/2008, -1/+3Christopher Tolkien should sue for copyright infringement.
- enantiodromia, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2Give them an inch...
- indorock, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2Sir Ian Sir Ian Sir Ian Action! "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" Cut! Sir Ian Sir Ian
- Moegopher, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2I think it's pretty retarded to assume everyone wants someone to die.
- inactive, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2...Now that we know about it....is it still a secret?
- UserNull, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43sbtkQM6zc&feature ...
- GeorgeTuk, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2Because they want people to know where tax dollars are going but not what exactly they are doing with them.
