None of your applications will be remotely possible with these lasers. This laser only fires an 800 picosecond pulse. It's also going to be impossible to focus at a distance as well as this laser is.
Besides you can already do all the things you said with existing lasers.
> You can see the flicker on a 50Hz PAL TV set on (e.g.) large areas of white.
Not on an active matrix screen you can't. 50 Hz is plenty, especially if it isn't interlaced. Introducing yet *another* frame rate seems somewhat sadistic.
Didn't use them and weren't allowed them for Engineering exams at Cambridge. Exams aren't designed to test your calculator skills anyway, so I don't really see what the fuss is about.
All the slashdot jokes are as obvious as "hey your mum is dead". Partly because they're totally implausible, and partly because EVERY SINGLE STORY is an April fool.
What they *should* do, is post real news stories, and have ONE PLAUSIBLE April fool. For example "Oracle renames itself as Sun" or "Digg bought by Google", or "Duke Nukem Forever cancelled."
Erm, you could indeed redirect the user to your own root DNS server, but then none of the DNSSEC replies you sent would have the correct signatures (since you don't have the real private keys used by the actual root server).
Obviously the browser has to already have the public keys for every root zone, but that's no different to SSL certificates. And DNSSEC has to used at every zone.
So why couldn't people buy the iPhone unlocked? As I understand it T-Mobile is the only network in the US that doesn't penalise you for using your own phone.
I'm not convinced by this. The gallery app and the app drawer are both hard-ware accelerated, and neither is as smooth as the iphone. I think it is more to do with the slowness of java/dalvik, and the garbage collector, which only recently became concurrent.
In Africa (Kenya and Uganda at least; I've not been elsewhere), all soft drinks are sold in glass bottles. They are also reused (i.e. you refill them with drink) rather than recycled. Although for some reason the only options are fanta and coke. Coke I can understand, but fanta? Never made any sense to me...
Rubbish. Most people still say "couldn't care less". People that say "could care less" have just misheard it. Like "for all intensive purposes". I'm not a prescriptivist, but "could care less" people are still firmly in the just plain wrong camp.

Apple do a fair bit too, which is kind of odd considering their rampant control-freakery.
Strength is measured in Pascals (i.e. it is a pressure).

Yes. They normally say at least the power and the laser technology used.
Well that was an uninformative article.
How does the laser work? What is its power? Efficiency? Frequency? Hell it doesn't even say what happened when they tested it.
Hey I watched it too!
HumourLESS?! Slashdot's April fools are the equivalent of children's TV slapstick. And you're saying you find that funny?!

Is there no actual new for today?
Isn't the idea of April fools to ... fool people? This is just sad.
Store the certificates in DNS, and access them with DNSSEC.

I don't really follow you, but I'm pretty sure DNSSEC isn't vulnerable to MitM attacks, since that would be really really damn stupid.
Easy solution: Store self-signed certificate in DNS, access it using DNSSEC.

Yeah but Coca Cola make quite a bit more than Coke and Fanta, so that doesn't really explain anything:

Erm, that was exactly his point - that it doesn't *matter* about the precise technical details. The legal system cares more about intent.

All GUI apps have the same session ID, so I don't see how this will affect things at all. Behold:
thutt@panic:~$ ps -eo session,pid,cmd | grep /home/timmmm/Matlab2010b/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB -desktop /home/timmmm/Projects/lastfm-linux/Lastfm/lastfm-1.5.4.26862+dfsg/bin/last.fm /opt/google/chrome/chrome

So if I do some crazy computation in matlab, or a compilation in an IDE this won't help me one bit.

No, with clichés and stale jokes!
