Scientist invents real Star Trek tricorder
Starships, warp speed, transporters, phasers. Think “Star Trek” technology is only the stuff of fiction? Think again.

Cool project http://www.tricorderproject.org/tricorder-mark2.html

Big whoop. It can take temp/humidity and calculate distances. My iPhone can do that (not really, but this isn't new tech at all)
Wake me up when he can get the thing to analyze substances and it breaks down stuff into the materials an object is comprised of.
Cool...but I want a damn replictor! FREE FOOD!!!!! nom nom.
Now why you loer en kyk gelyk?
Is ek miskien van goud gemake?
Meh ... Why not rather work on teleportation?

Oh technically speaking transporters and replicators are one in the same tech. The one just reads+destroys the object and recreated it at a different location the other just use a stored pattern to recreate the object.(Think of it as playing a song from a recording vs listening to a live recording via the same medium)
So one creates from memory the other creates from a scanned object. Seeing that you can technically duplicate the object and opt not to destroy it, the question that comes up is, if its in fact a duplicate as you can simply opt not to destroy the original. So yep they killing Capt Kirk every time the beam him to a planet.
The Fly issue was covered with Bio filters but wasn't 100% efficient in the start for humans and thus we saw riots and banning in United Earth before the forming of the Federation. Only later with future contacts with Vulcans and other space fairing nations did they develop tech to start transporting humans. Also only in case of an emergency at 1st. They also had metaphysical debates on the matter of duplication but I guess they didn't have religion at that time as that would have killed the transportation tech stone cold dead in its tracks.
Oh crap... did I just debate Star Trek tech.... /me hides before someone say I am a trekkie.

.... and thanks for all the fish.
*points and laughs at the Trekkie*
I feel "trekked" ... lol ... then first we must invent poison in ... say ... a can that can be sprayed on insects to kill them before they merge with the teletransportee ... thus dooming them to death ... let's call such a device DOOM!

It has actually been done already to some degree. Someone do me a favour and post some links from google.

They've been able to teleport particles by 2 meters before. It was several years ago already so can't remember exactly, but they did say they had to add a (what I call) "control" particle to be able to assemble the other one on the other end correctly.
What I find fascinating though is Capt. Kirk was a duplicate/clone from the first time they used the transporter. So you only see the REAL Kirk in the beginning of the series, lollerskates
You are referring to "The Enemy Within"? That is a split, not a duplicate or clone, both Kirks were not identical. And at the end they get recombined, not left as they were.
