To think that all it takes is some electricity to make someone fall in love. Brings new meaning to the saying that you find someone's presence electrifying:)
I bet the person who got struck by lightning 7 times is really in love with the world.
This information is great to know if ever your stranded on a desert island with a coral reef around it, which has caused some shipwrecks of vintage warships with cannonballs. It would be a way to cook coconuts, a way to heat your hut at night, and start fires without matches, not to mention the other basic uses of a cannonball like lawn bowling and basketball.
1) You could use a mirror and direct the laser to use as a microwave for lunch.
2) You could use it to blind unsuspecting coworkers.
3) you could wave your hands through the laser light to disrupt productivity of other co workers.

The Cyberlink System includes:
-The Cyberlink Interface Unit
-The Cyberlink Headband/Sensor Harness
-Three Sensors
-One Tube of Cybergel
What could possibly be the use for CyberGel?
I'm fairly picky about backing up my data. now I could do backup all my work, and make backups of backup directories, and backup those backup directories in the future. Cause you never know when the backups fail, and the backup's of the backup's can fail too. To be truly save, the backup of the backup of the backup directory will be the last and final safe guard.
Thou space requirements would increase polynomialy. If I have 10 gig now, and backup every day, and make the backup of the backup every week, and make the backup of the backup of the backup every month, I would use that terra byte up in 3 months.
Liquid Water is much more important, It will be the first step in colonization of the red planet. It can be converted to Oxygen, and Hydrogen for breathing and power, not to mention hygene and survival for almost all biological things on earth.
It doesn't matter if there is oil or not. I don't think most conventional engines would work anyways in that thin atmosphere, conventional combustion requires oxygen to be burned with the oil. Gas is on its way out as a source for power, It's all about the Hydrogen.
This was used for two undergraduate classes: "Introduction to Computing" (required for any student in the College of Computing) and "Object Oriented Programming" (required for Computer Science majors)." Cuz remember programmers: in the real world you are fired if you consult with a co-worker;)
They use it for Object Oriented Programming class, yet the entire concept of OOP is code reuse. That's a contradiction. It would mean If program A is:
class foo{ main() { cout "foo" endl; } }
Then this program will get you expelled.
class bar{ main() { cout "foo" endl; } }
And this will give you an A.
class bar : public foo;
You could save the electricity and use it to power an ion engine to bring the space craft back.
Perhaps gas can also be collected in the atmosphere so that no extra fuel is needed to brought along with the space craft. Thou, bringing Xenon gas maybe far lighter alternative than the collector that would need to be installed.
I don't get the "earth-like planet" angle of sales. There just isen't that many out there.
And shouldn't the MaxiMog have some kind of air tanks, or oxygen system if they were going to go for that angle? Unless they expect us to hold our breath for an awfully long time.
If we're going by the current Enterprise episode standards, we just need rockets as torpedos, and plungers to pull up shuttles from asteroids. And also we need to crew it with lots of bad actors.
if only we can harness the power of intestinal gases within the human body. It could be a renewable source of energy. It could power our cars and homes, and make green house gas a thing of the past..
You too can do your part to save the environment by eating a can of beans a night.
Why would they want to build solar array in space? They could just use ground solar arrays, wind mills, tital power genrators. They can then generate hydrogen the good old fashion way of sticking few iron poles into the water, and cranking up the juice.
It'll Saves the cost of launching satelites. The sun can't be that much weaker on earth. And the cost of transporting the solar cells up to space should allow many more times the same solar cells on earth. Not to mention all the other alternative ways to generate electicity from renewable sources on earth.
Also satelites can't be over the same spot of the earth all the time, and the more of an angle it is to the island, the more atmosphere the laser will have to travel through, and the more energy will be dissipated in the atmosphere.
I think this scientist is a quack. Unless this is a ploy a Japanese company who's headed by a mastermind CEO to have giant lasers in orbit to fry things on earth. Then I can see the point. It'll be like a typical Final Fantasy story line.

Woudn't truly random mean we can't predict what the next number will be? By the very existence of the formula to calculate pie digits, Pie can no longer be random. Maybe if falls into that pseudo random category, where all the random number generators come from.

Fun things to do at work with a laser:
1) You could use a mirror and direct the laser to use as a microwave for lunch.
2) You could use it to blind unsuspecting coworkers.
3) you could wave your hands through the laser light to disrupt productivity of other co workers.

Current Time, Somewhere in Nasa Headquarters: Dave and Frank, the Mission Directors, give the order to destroy the probe.
Nasa: Mr. Probe.. Change Heading to 15 Degrees Left, 20 Degrees Up.
Probe: I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that
Nasa: Why Can't you?
Probe: I know you and frank were planning to disconnect me.. and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen
Nasa: What the F$%K are you talking about.
Probe: I know you're really upset about this..I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over.
Nasa: But..
probe: goodby

I saw on Discovery Channel a girl who couldn't fell no pain at all. It was born like that
Just because she felt no pain, doesn't make her an "It".
