Psssst. Who wants to help me make a bomb? The govt is cool with it...

. That’s why the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is now calling on the ingenuity of hobbyists to submit their plans for DIY weapons, built with accessible electronics, chemicals and 3D printed parts, to enable the US to better prepare against terrorist threats.


When the kid in Texas with the 'Clock' hears about this, I bet he tries to get some cash money...

The conspiracy stories just write themselves. You submit something too good, they say they want you to help them 'off-book' and you end up a patsy when 'your' bomb goes off.

How about an Aurdino powered clock that reminds people to vote...

While there have been advances in technology, it never really was a complete hurdle to making bombs, especially like the Boston Bombers. The ideology has changed more than the tech.

Of course, they are also trolling for more things to ban and restrict- but when almost anything can be weaponized we are doomed to fail if we focus on things.

Looks like they timed it so that the new DARPA employees that have just graduated will have to vet the ideas. I'd hate to work in the mail room...

If it weren't for The Man, we'd have phased plasma rifles and Mr. Fusions by now.

Not an exaggeration. Some kid got busyed a while back for building a nuclear reactor in his mom's trailer.

Clinton even said she wants to totally eradicate Coal and Coal Unions will still vote her in.

John Moses "Cleveland" Browning (peace be upon him) would not be as prolific or would be in jail for his work that is still in use today. Especially Ma Deuces.

[Airhasz]

Where does a kid get nuclear reactor fuel? Sounds like propaganda.

Stealing a lot of smoke detectors...
He wasn't even the only one.

There've been several kids busted for it. In America. Just Google it. David Hahn was the one arrested.

Just like they're doing their damndest to keep private space travel down.

We, the US, have to use Soviet rockets to get men into space.

So people have been trying to circumvent the US govt and keep catching hell.
Because apparently instead of space travel, development of powerr armor and energy weapons; NASA is supposed to do something about communication with muslims (at least as was quoted by Obongo) and keeping the cable TV on.

We are so, effing....RETARDED right now.
We are WELL behind where we should be. In the 80s, a Back to the Future 2015 wasn't totally implausible the way people were pursuing tech but now unless it helps you Facebook or post vids of cats farting on youtube; nobody is interested. Hence, Apple.

Mr. Feeny once said that prior to Gutenburg people thirsted for knowledge, thirsted for literacy. And now people have the ENTIRE WORLD on their phone and use it to creeptext sluts from a bar, find cheat codes to beat King Koopa, wack off to some pretty pathetic porn, and allow people in government are actively datamining and firewalling and censoring what you aren't "allowed" to be aware of.

So there it is.

I smell a trap.
Go right ahead and submit your plans. Just don't be surprised when BATFE or whatever alphabet soup agency kicks down your door.*

* Note: If you are Muslim, the above does not apply. Instead, you will get an invitation to the White House to meet and greet the Muslim-In-Chief himself, inshallah, for you were merely building a science fair project and were rudely interrupted by Islamophobic racists from advancing human knowledge.

Hey!! I'll have you know that the porn I wack off to is of good quality. I have standards, you know!

democratic parents OK that kid for scholarships
republican OK put them on the do not fly list
hmmm goes to church OK put the family on the watch list !!!
BLM OH maybe we should give him an award ?

[JulyAZ]

I've been training for this my whole life...mostly as a bored teenager. We came up with some impressive stuff just with whatever was laying around. Some outright awesome thing I still have.

[Leuthas]

I think we can all agree that history does indeed repeat, however sometimes we simply don't understand what will be repeated.

Do you remember the thousand year oppression from religion and rule that only broke between 1500 and 1600? You're going to see another for certain, due strictly to the omnipotent control of government.

Consider what a technological plateau will look like.

It's beyond pathetic.

And to add insult to injury it's all done by design via deindustrialization.
