Where do I send the tea, oranges and the wee dram? I have a cyber parcel ready packed....
You're welcome. As stated previously, if the technology is "in development", you can be sure that a working prototype is already in the field.
Your concern was the focus in part of that six-part series "Piece of Mind"; it has been a steady focus of mine for some time now, the battle for our minds. See this blog entry as well: http://z7.invisionfree.com/E_Pluribus_Un...=7301&st=0 and an entire section of threads on "The techniques used by military, police forces, political leaders, and corporations to influence or disrupt a target audience's value systems, belief systems, emotions, motives, reasoning, and behavior": http://z7.invisionfree.com/E_Pluribus_Un...wforum=160
As for the tea and oranges, and the wee dram, start an account in my name and we'll settle up in good time. I am set for now, with the two 50 ml. nips set aside for savoring at a later hour, raised in salute to our virtual friends here at DPF.
