   Handyman Building Cruise Missile In His Garage - b

   actually the guy is a website builder & has a very good daily blog like site with news links. he has also spent several years & most of his savings building a pulse jet engine (to the point of selling his own house). he has been very open in regards to his engine and has been looking for investors/vc's to commercialise it. the newspaper article & your own writeup leans towards a beatup. cruise missile ? weapons of mass destruction ?? obligatory law enforcement quote 'may help terrorists'. give me a break. the guy is an inventor. he put a pulse jet engine on his go kart ! i think the real reason to include 'cruise missile' on his webpage is to get some publicity.
   
   nb - found any of those wmd in iraq yet ? ;-)

   My own writeup was (a) based on the article and (b) very much tongue in cheek. Where the hell are those sarcasm HTML tags? Besides, if you read it again, I wasn't exactly being kind to the folks who were worried about the "helping terrorist" stuff.
   
   But, thanks for the additional info on this guy. That's good to know.

   Heh. There's a difference. We don't make a big claim about some secret information and then say... "ooh, but I'll charge you to get it." All I was saying was that when someone gets a lot of hype for a particular piece of info, but then says "I'll only tell you enough details to prove its real if you pay me..." alarm bells ring. It would be similar if I said "ooh, I've got top secret info on such-and-such a company, but I won't prove it until you pay me."
   
   However, you suggest that the guy is very open with information, so that's good to know.

   I find particular irony in the story seeing as how many of the U.S. military's aerial ordinance (most prominently, the Sidewinder missile) were developed in garages too.

   Is it to make a pont or for profit.

   To me it appears that this handyman as he so calls himself is trying to make a profit right out of his garage. Is he really trying to bring light at how easy it is to build a missle? Hope he doesnt blow-up the block!
