The intertwined snakes on a pole symbol comes from the Bible. While the Isrealites were wandering around in the desert complaining, God got tired of it. So, he sent poisonous snakes to bite them, but also had Moses make a pole with bronze snakes on it. anyone who was bitten could look at the pole and not die. At least it was something similar to that, I might have the details a little wrong.
Sure we know what will happen. Any system that has lasted billions of years is obviously in a stable equilibrium. We know from physics and math that if you disturb a system that is in equilibrium, you end up with the system executing small oscillations about its equilibrium point.
The laser has very few electronic parts, and all military electronics are hardened against emp weapons. Did you seriously think a bunch of 2 bit slashdotters are going to think of something that a government military contractor hasn't?
"The Canadian Private Copying Collective, the music industry trade group, has proposed new levies to be applied to any device that can store music, such as removable hard drives, recordable DVDs, Compact Flash memory cards and MP3 players."
So, you tax the music playing devices so less people have them, and thus less people buy your music. Because if less people buy music, then it's harder to pirate.
On an old power mac 66Mhz computer, I once got the error message: Insufficient memory to complete the requested operation. The operation? shutting down the computer.
The limiting size of 3 times that of our solar system was determined by the orbit of the star around the black hole. They therefore concluded that the object was smaller then 3 times our solar system, and the mass was determined by the orbit of the star around the mystery object. Once the scientists took a look at these values, they realized nothing but a black hole could be located within this space. The maximum size of the Schwarzschild radius is about 2.7 million kilometers, or about 1/50th of the Earth-Sun distance. Also, black holes do emit a magnetic field beyond their event horizon, so you might be able to communicate through it using magnetic pulses.

And they wonder why music sales are dropping.
Wow, that was easy to find. it took all of 5 minutes to find the site handing out the .mil adresses on google.
Sorry, I usually am pretty good with that rule, but it must have slipped my mind last night.

Last year I blinded a webcam from a couple hundred feet a way by mounting a laser pointer on a tripod and carefully aiming it at the camera
I know where Portugal is. HA HA HA....
