You are still thinking about this in a system where there is no atmosphere on earth. You forgot about refraction due to the atmosphere. The refraction might be small enough to ignore for the time being, but a large flux in the atmospheric pressure, storms, and you can have your beam focusing completely off target.
Interesting concept thought. I hope this will solve our pollution problem too.
In the end it all sounds like "Prohibition", yeah I'm talking about alcohol. It will all go away because the amount of crimes will rise and I am just waiting for the Internet Mob to start it's reign all over again.
In a few years, music, books, etc. will again be available over the web, at a nominal price.
I was watch Discovery Science channel yesterday, Weapons of the New War, about the techonologies the government is using for targeting systems. They have GPS and geometric recognition used in combination to send a missile directly at a target. Basically if they know what the target looks like, they can shoot the missile at any door/window/wall they wish. This would be cool for this if it could recognize certain objects as movable and others as stationary/not to be interfered with.
Slashdot had a past article on a better idea Virtual Keyboard. The keyboard is laser projected onto a surface.
What about my old perl code?

I only glanced at the article, and there are some serious changes. Am I going to have re-write my code all over again? (and what about my editors syntax highlighting patterns?);P
If you ever used Netscape 6 you can change your default search engine to Google instead of the defaulted Netscape Search Engine. There are actually 5 default engines to choose from, and they all come up in the sidebar search and popup when searching from the URL input.
Correct... the next wave is a browser that goes to the site you wanted based off your past browsing pattern. Load up Nutscrape at 4am and it knows your looking for porn, and BAM! it's in your face as the startup page.:P
Why not lock out all new processes and only allow login at a specific time? Say for 2 minutes at 12 past the hour you can connect to the machine to make your changes, new processes won't be killed, at all other times all new processes (that are not essential) are terminated at the kernel level. That's better than a solid state firewall and loose anytime access firewall.

3) What about the irregularities in the road/sidewalk? (I still don't know where you are supposed to ride/drive this thing). And it's hard enough trying to walk in NYC, I think the jarring from the road bumps will cause back problems from excessive use.
4) Do we really need a invention that can make people lazier and/or drive/walk like bigger assholes?!?!?
Everything you said is true, and the fact of the matter is, Nintendo built more systems before its release date, (regardless of cost/time/production), and MS thought releasing fewer would draw more eyes to its rarity, (regardless if the smaller amount of units was caused to production errors/short supplies).
MS thought, "We need high demand on the product so let's cut short the supply", while Nintendo thought, "Damn we need a shit load of these GCs so we don't sell out like we did with the N64 release!"
What are they going to launch into orbit? Small egg capsules, like what silly putty comes in?
I wonder how they are going to achieve orbital velocity with such little fuel? I mean they have to get up to 200+km/s at least to get into a low orbit, (below a geostationary orbit). Seems far off to me until they find another fuel source.
Question: Has anyone released video of the plane crashing? If yes, then there should be some thoughts that this was a terrorist action.
How can this happen? Several possiblities:
1) mechanical tampering before take off. Unlikely with the new heightened security.
2) projectile shot at the plane. More likely, a large rifle might give enough accuracy, and can cause the engine to drop out. A bird would cause similar damage, but usually those types of incidents are recoverable.
Just my 2 cents and only my opinion. Shaken at work in NYC, God bless USA.
I am sure they used some stupid program like Eliza to do this. What we should really be doing is sending in more letters supporting M$ with more invalid return addresses from more dead people. And let's make the letters damn convincing, with lines like, "In case you didn't relized from the obituaries, this is a dead person writing to you."
This would invalidate some of those real MS support letters from the morons who used Word to print their return labels and can't get the printout to align just right.
But this is all just a rant, and the enforcement officials should not hold me responsible if the above action does take place. It would be too obvious to blame me for M$ mistakes.
Whatever you have the gov't do, it will do it poorly and inefficiently. -- Ross Perot
This is not a direct quote but close to what Perot said Thursday night on CNN Larry King Live. He backs up Bush for the sole reason that he does not want Gore "I invented the wheel" to screw up the economy and send the military where we don't want them to go.
Perot is a business man and understands the economy better than any of us regular people. He just doesn't want Gore to fuck up what Greenspan and former-prez G. Bush did. Clington could NOT do anything to fuck up the economy becuase the Republican Congress kept him in place.
And I agree with Perot on that point... Gore is not a suitable president for US. And problems will pop up if the Houses have a Democratic majority and Gore is elected.
Now this doesn't mean I want Bush for President either. I think Perot thinks he could talk to his "Daddy" to sway his decisions.
