Remember, attacking warships are going to be moving.
They were anchored according to Lucian.
After that, though, you're back to the attackers wetting their boats down first, using their own shields as mirrors, and having multiple boats.
Wetting them down first is exactly what they did, and that kept flaming arrows from burning them, but focused light can dry ships out.
Focused light that can light wood on fire in seconds can dry wood out pretty damn quickly.
I'm not quite sure what your point is about multiple boats.
Even getting the attacking boats to lose synchronization on their landing could make a big difference in the fight.
Landing? Syracusae (at least the core of the city, Ortygia) was an island surrounded by huge walls. There was nowhere to land.
Besides, Archimedes also built long, medium, and short rang artillery ensuring that by the time any attacker got to the walls, they were pretty much already defeated.
Last time they "debunked" it, they used 127 square feet of mirrors. If they use 500 typical hoplite shields (~24" diameter), that's 1,570 square feet. Even if the kids all have a 1 sqft mirror, that's quadruple the intensity the mythbusters debunked last time, or roughly equivalent to Ioannis Sakkas's experiment which set the wood on fire in mere seconds.

If they're so bad, why would you want kids taught by people whose only education is public schooling?
Nothing. Both are DMCA violations.
The lighted version may very well safely bleed any static charge, precisely because it is electrically connected to the cover.
Technically speaking, this is also electrically connected to the cover.
Could there be a case made for you being able to modify and use Ford's computer system in a way you legally cannot with Xbox?
There are lots of aftermarket ECUs for cars, Fords included.
Wouldn't it be safer to have that molten salt at ground level?
Not if you wanted to get within 100 feet of the central collector during the day.
The very name of the product is that of an ad agency.
Wait, are you talking about Docs, or Word? Because both are products of ad agencies.
That we should invade and disarm Pakistan?
since five hundred archers would be far more effective.
Sure, if the ships are in arrow range, and they haven't wet everything down first.

I mean, flaying a deer is okay. Flaying a TSA agent, not so much.
I think either one is perfectly fine.
I think you underestimate Amazon's holiday sales, or overestimate the penalties they could face for hosting wikileaks.
Sounds great. Can I fork the police?
Better spelling and grammatical errors than the factual errors he was responding to.

If they keep this up, in another 10 or 20 years, America will be a spacefaring nation.
Armadillo has only cost Carmack a couple million so far. Rage cost him more than Armadillo has.
...yes, because all those third world countries have proven themselves to be politically stable enough to handle the responsibility.
They're every bit as stable as Pakistan is.
Most of Google's major algorithms are patented, and thus documented. This is not.
No, it doesn't. If it did, the telecoms wouldn't be immune to lawsuits for assisting in illegal wiretapping.
It should be opt-in.
The Magnavox Odyssey outputs the exact same resolution as the Wii. I think there might be some room for improvement for the consoles outputting 1080p.
Yep, that really keeps the shovelware flowing.
If I remember correctly, both the xbox360 and ps3 were originally sold at a loss
The Wii, too. And pretty much every other console that was ever released
Have fun with those resolution-limited console ports.
