See, this is how this crap gets started. Tilden misspoke when he said that.
Stryder responds to different light levels, just like ALL these little
critters (except for e-vore).

Welcome to the great, grand, self serving, and confusing world of BEAM hype.

Actually, he wouldn't let us know at all. We're just the people who love the
tech and love to build. He doesn't divulge any info to the likes of us. He
waits until he can address the techniques to someone very important in the
scientific community. Like a producer of documentaries for the Discovery
channel.
Sorry, but this string has dredged up some sore spots that just get more
putrid.

expermint more with this tech. hobbyists are the only ones trying to
get some tyoe of useful behivior out of these macines. The patnet
restricts the sale them for useful or profitable applications. It seems
that if Mr. T told everyone about new circuits and tech, it might, in
the end, be more profitabe to him, being the patnet holder. Or the ony
time this tech will flourish is when it becomes public dominon.

jus' my 2¢
