smart way to use your MP3 and for good reasons too which is better but what about the people on the ship what happens to their hearing

ok hopefully we are done talking about halo which is based i believe first in the video games and then backed up by the books. But the idea first originated back in the 60s in a book from an old guy who had no idea about halo, the convenant, brs, plasma rifles and such. don't get me wrong the similarities between the XOS and Halo are very similar. And i am not putting Halo down or anything, i am a gamer to and i play as well. The XOS inventor, jacobsen, probably grew up reading the Ironman comics and that is probably one of the places he got his idea from and the rest of it just compliments XOS. And do you really think he ripped his idea off of Halo? The guy was an adult when Pong came out. Now to the aspect of the XOS itself. The helmet is already being design by the military for jet pilots so they dont have to rely on pure eyesight to keep and eye on the enemy that dropped in behind them they can just look in behind and satellites send info to the helmet as to where the enemy and shows up on the pilots HUD. To mwesty64, the hydraulics are not outdated, they are very useful. I am always using hydraulics for ideas because they are such a good base and can you give me any other things that can lift huge masses for construction that do not use hydraulics. I think a good idea for the next version should be electric motors however you compromise the strength of the suit. But another would be magnetic joints so as to reduce friction to nil and more power would be directed to strength. The only power i see for this suit is the power as mentioned earlier. Until a way to power the suit well and for long periods of time is perfected we will not be seeing any power suits for a long time to come. But who really knows how long that will be until that time does arrive. I just ask that we stop comparing this reality, the XOS, to the fictional Halo. We can compare all we want but dont we want to try to make this a reality sooner and put out ideas. We act as a filter for these inventors we catch the stuff they dont see. Congrats to Jacobsen for the first major step on the road to a better integration between man and machine.
