Modular Laser Launch Systems

    I don't think Jordin Kare's NIAC article has been covered?
    I don't know. Has it?

    You shouldn't make a statement a question ...

      Nope. Not a dupe! Is this really The Slashdot? :-)

      I'm worried there's been a DNS attack or something, and it's being faked just a little too well.

    I think BerntB is under the impression that he's written an article? It's three non-sequitur sentences makes it hard to understand. The only other articles as bad are on k5 and teh fark.

      Looks like I screwed up your insult pretty bad? It's four sentences not three. There are no non-sequiturs. My verbs don't match. My karma whoring self is teh suck.
