    Sorry mate, Part of the official secrets Act :D;):D

    but seriously my tip would be,

    if you see something interesting used in a post, quote the post and the source code is given to you (unless you want to quote a quote in a quote in which case you have to quote the quote in seperate quotes) Easy

    fair enough UnderGod, but its like the bearrgryllis thing, either yu are impartially examinin the details of the situation or you are makin a Fictitious Meeeja friendly tv program.


    its a case of whether or not to take any of their imperical research seriously, granted some of it was cool, but how much of it is tainted by external sources????????

    So then has anyone got any evidence that the MythBusters have ever tampered with the results of any experiment at the request of Discovery channel or their sponsors?

    What would really be telling about their impartiality would be if they did the RFID thing but altered the results.

    Oh and if they where really on the payroll of the evil overlords, why would he talk about this to a packed convention?

    They were making a tv show which they could not air because of legal pressure. We can't talk about the episode because we haven't seen it, and likely never will, but it's not the same as lying or altering results at the request of big business. And the mythbusters themselves didn't cancel it; it was the network.

    Hang on now. It shows that the Discovery Channel doesn't want to get in any legal shít with the the companies that makes these chips or lose advertising. That's the way things go sometimes.
