Well written. :-)

Everythig else causes cancer. Even nanotubes for gosh sakes.
Thus, inevitably, T-rays will be found to cause cancer. Yes, even the natural background emissions of T-rays, yep, those too.

Wow!. Neatamundo!. I make that 18% adjectives - and an amazing 27% if you include adjectival use of other parts of speech. Awesome. Journalism at its best. Herman Melville eat your heart out.

... when we run out of letters of alphabets? Soon as we have passive T-ray goggles I want a pair!

Are wl talking about detecting t-rays using very sensitive approach as is the very latest tech,
or generating them and detecting them as is the "dose of radiation less than the flight you are about to take" tech.

Research proves that research causes cancer in rats.

Can I have a T-ray Head-Up Display in my hydrogen-powered bot-controlled flying car please.
And a pair of those James Bond blue-tint sunglasses - T-Ray-Bans?

that researchers will claim anything that gets them funding.
Paris because this icon isn't nearly overused enough.

"DARPA, the poorly-integrated, troubling, erratically brilliant bulge-headed mutant child of the US military establishment."
There should be awards for this kind of descriptive ability.

There are rewards. You get a cushy job at The Register.

Something I did in my last job (~10 years ago) involved building waveguides for THz systems. It's about the only thing I did there that hasn't been made mainstream by the Chinese since.

euwgh that's icky
How long before you saw something and felt compelled to gouge out your eye's with a spoon.
All things considered I think I will stick to my imagination for those occasions that this device would be useful, at least I have control over that.

Personally I would have included Teflon in the description somewhere.
Paris because she likes a bulging head so I hear.

Every type of particle has a half-life and when decaying releases radiation.
Ergo, having a physical form causes cancer.
Bugger.

Maybe now we'll get to see why ol' Lisa is smiling so apathetically...
Mine's the one with the 50s-era x-ray glasses in the pocket.

You guys realy do write some rubbish sometimes. I mean, sub-millimeter waves, which you admit are almost impossible to use given existing tech, are suddenly important in finding the Holy Grail and sheding light on the existence of Jesus' girlfriend.
Really, you guys are the end. If alien stories were more fashionable, you would write stories about crop circles and how they appear on google maps. Oops, you already do.
I suppose that's what happens when you try to make a boring IT week a bit more interesting. Haha.

Playing hard to get, Hate2Register? Lovers never ever do that.
There's some Real Hot CodeXXXX being Hosted on El Reg ...... QuITe Pioneering too, and obviously Understated as you appear not to have noticed IT.
Although one may have to consider that is ITs Astute Stealth ProgramMIng

"finding the Holy Grail and sheding light on the existence of Jesus' girlfriend"
---> And here I was thinking they were one and the same ;)
"unlocking a huge techno treasure vault stuffed with goodies such as unused wireless spectrum"
<--- Places bid.
"more on the lines of the slightly dodgy-looking blue tinted jobs employed by James Bond in the The World Is Not Enough"
--->Still pushing for red tint, but then again Fuion is no James Bond.
"though fairly short-range unless it could be used mainly in the upper atmosphere"
<--- Waiting for spaceship shuttle/pickup in my front yard...
