    Not every web page tries to keep every reply on the same page as just one ultra long series of posts ya know. In fact most web pages do not do that and do work this way.

    No, I prefer it this way also. I could do without the initial layout of the first page of a discussion if it then turns everyones replies into a jumbled mess after it gets long enough and draws their replies completely out of context at that point. Just stick to this style, the one we're at now all of the time. I mean you really didn't know thats what I meant?

    Don't try to compare my laptop to a damn tank. Suggesting that in the next 13 years a tank will be walking is just illogical.

     

    Here's a simple question:

     

    Why is it illogical? I have presented my evidence for believing that it's possible, so let's just put it out in the open. Why do you believe it to be illogical? And feel free to back up your opinion with any sources you may have.

    There is no proof that the theory stated there is true. Infact if you look at todays world we are not nearly as advannced as that theory states we should be. As stated before according to that theory we shoudl allready have hover cars, manned flights to other planets, and many other things by now compared to where we were when we started out.

     

    Tech does not boom and grow at an exponetial rate, not nearly as fast as that theory tries to claim. It has not been proven to be true.

     

    We will be no where near the growth level of tech that that theory suggests by the year mentioned in it.

     

    Its actually incorrect in one of its assumptions computers have not doubled in speed every year as it suggests. That shows the theory is flawed and not 100% accurate.

    Ahh, now I see what you mean, how it takes until a certain number of posts have been made before paging it out. I misunderstood your first comment on that. I agree that it is strange in how or why it does that. It seems to wait until 4 pages worth of posts are accumlated before paging it for some reason. I am suprrised they did not set a hard limit of number of posts per page so after that limit is met a new page is started at that point.

    It is illogical to have a tank that walks instead of one that is on tracks or wheels. Why? Walking is slow and cumbersome. The reason why the Abrams tank has been so effect is because it hits hard and can do it fast. Why would someone take a step back in that case? It is like saying we are going to have planes in the future that have wings that flap instead of using turbines

    Yeah, I know, quite similar in looks but for some reason people feel the need to defend that it will be nothing like Halo. Its quite funny really, that people have this deep of a desire to make sure CoD is not referred to as looking Haloish for some silly reason.

    Yeah I mean if you don't quote people every time you post and then it becomes a huge multi page discussion, it turns into a muddled up mess if your like me and actually try to read through and catch up with everything. Unless it's like 500 pages of course. Wish they would fix that. Just leave it like it is right now all of the time.

    Realistically, those things are already possible. It's just a matter of practicality right now. For instance, we have JETS that hover like a helicopter, and then transition into flight like a normal jet. In terms of manned flights to other planets, the reason we don't is far more centered around politics than technological advancement.

    And what are you basing these claims on? History shows us how the technological growth has jumped.

    I could go on here, but I doubt even you can argue against that. It's clear as day how accelerated the growth has become. If I were you, I'd research something known as "The Singularity".

    Maybe we should wait and see what potential advantages there are to having the walking mech. Treaded Tracks are only going to be so useful. Tanks are large and bulky, which is a disadvantage. Those "Walking Tanks" as you called them, could be smaller, which means they can be deployed in tighter spaces, aswell as be deployed quicker. If you can deploy 2-3 of them and have each of them do their own things, especially in a populated area, that can prove to be far more effective than having an Abrams tank roaming around.

    The counter argument will probably be along the lines that a walking tank can get over things that a track tank can not; such as unlevel debris fields that a normal tank could not navigate through or around.
