A kilowatt is 3,600,000 joules, 10 kilowatts in respect is 36,000,000.
Lightning is 1,000,000,000 to 10,000,000,000 joules.
Basically they are trying to make a weapon that could blast the hell out of that tree in your front yard, but right now will have to settle for your cat.
To put this in prespective, the adverage person uses 64,800,000 joules a month, or 18 kilowatts... So for every time they fire this baby, they are blowing 50-100 bucks....
They essentially are what cause the blackouts in California.
The article also mentions patents about one click shoppign and name your price e-commerance... Who is to say slashdot couln't be sued for say.... using a image of a PDA?
And yet another part of the article bothers me...
Yet PanIP may not be simply going after low-hanging fruit. Some patent attorneys speculate that it may be looking to build a war chest to take on larger companies. It also may be looking for legal precedents for its patents-either decisions in court or a critical mass of settlements-that would bolster lawsuits against big E-commerce companies, such as Amazon.com Inc. or eBay Inc.
It seems scarry how some coperation may potentially come after me, for me using a system I invest a mild amount of trust in, just because I -trust- the system. They coming after me, just so they can use me as a stepping stone to attack E-bay is even MORE frightening.
And I was scared using my credit card online.... This may cause much worse damage.
Then again I know I wouldn't want -any- of my friends that are even remotely intelligent (and even less those that are not intelligent) to be messing with particle acceleration...
"Mom.... You did say you wanted a skylight didn't you?"
There were a billion music downloads last year, but music sales are up. Where's the evidence that downloads hurt business? Downloads are creating more demand.
Why aren't record companies embracing this great opportunity? Why aren't they trying to talk to the kids passing compilations around to learn what they like? Why is the RIAA suing the companies that are stimulating this new demand? What's the point of going after people swapping cruddy-sounding MP3s? Cash! Cash they have no intention of passing onto us, the writers of their profits.
There is also another quote by her that went something like 'When am I getting my check from napster?' but I can't find where I read it...
thrashing of artistic vision, would the broadcasters start sueing for breach of contract, or perhaps limiting corporate expression? The Sweedish constitution Does have the The Freedom of the Press Act and the The Freedom of Expression Act.
It -is- afterall an expression of the company of which comercials to air, and when.... Like perhaps overall the comercials, are funny, or political, or downright serious
Fundamentalist religion that held large sway over government, that pressed it's religion saying it is the best. But yes, a religion. You are correct.
Ambition. It takes a lot of ambition to first off step up to the plate, then die so that you can receive the Martyr's reward.
Follow through... How many people do you know that'd plan to die for their religion? Their ideas? Then do it? Albeit you are dead, you did follow through with your plan.
But yes education may help, but is unlikely, if they are raised that way... Look at the various supremacy groups. By and large people think they are wrong, but they were raised that they were right, and everyone else is.
As for acquiring more lethal means to kill us, a report isn't going to help them get the means. Money is. And with enough people, you can easily raise enough money.
Then in the case of what happened over a year ago, it just took -ONE- millionaire (Bin Laden)
"Bin Laden... (has) an inherited fortune estimated to be as much as
$300 million."
The tensions began early this year as the Bush administration began taking wide measures to tighten scientific secrecy in hopes of keeping terrorists from obtaining weapons of mass destruction. In January, the administration quietly began withdrawing from public release more than 6,600 technical documents that dealt mainly with the production of germ and chemical weapons.
Haven't we learned by now, that the terrorists already -have- the weapons of mass destruction they need? Faith in their government, ambition, and follow through.
So how much faith in your government, ambition, and follow through do you have?
So maybe he IS only making $9,600.... in 3 years;)
Still woulda done him better to pay the fee...

Let's say he sends 100k spam e-mails a week, every week, for one year.
He gets.004% of the people he mails to pay $40 for a pamphlet.
So he gets 40 people, a week to buy a pamphlet. That is $1,600 a week.
That is $89,600 a year
If he woulda just paid the $2,000 he would have made a dandy profit.
