This wont actually work in space. The point of the UV laser is to form a stream of ionised particles for the charge to travel along. This would work fine inside earth atmosphere, but in orbit there isn't anything much to ionise. What would you achieve anyway by electrocuting the space junk anyway? Though of course you could try giving the space station a large positive charge and giving all the space junk a large positive charge too (could both be begative of course), then they might tend to avoid eachother through electrostatic repulsion, but of course you will need to find another way to get the charge on the junk....
Nice idea, however it would break with all the sites that are currently setup on single ip'd virtual host machines. Hence you would only ever get thr primary sites hosted on those boxen.
I think you might want to consider investing in a 40 metre tall video wall for each side of your building then. Or maybe just some well made telescopes to distribute among your readership.
Oooh, Robot Wars on the Moon, now that I gotta see! It can be no holds barred in weapon types too, as there wont be any spectators closer then a light second or so. I'm building mine with a MAD device too, so the best anyone could do against me is a draw!
You can quite happily look something up in that range, assuming of course you have setup a local nameserver to handle your local network, which I guess they haven't done.
Ok thats about every game reviewer who didnt receive a complimentry copy covered then I think. They should now worry about the weeks after that when they hope for some actual gamers to buy it.
pfffft.. barely a 3" blade. Save your money and buy a short sword. size is everything.
If size is everything why stop at a short sword? We demand 2 handed swords forged from planetary diamond formed from the intense pressure at the heart of jupiter!
I seriously doubt you would find much in the way of amino acid or other genetic precursors in an _Iron_ meteorite. The ones with interesting material in them tend to be carbenaceous with a low metal content and somewhat less useful for making knives, or any sort of cutlery out of.
Ok just imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these things. You hook them up in series (hooking them up parallel actually wouldn't work) and each individual unit send a signal further and further back in time. Transmit todays stock quotes into it via morse code and you'll receive the signal yesterday in time to make a killing on the IPO of the day.
I suppose what you'll see next is an automatic moderating tool that automaticly moderates up all those automatic first posts to +1 insightful. And after that we'll see an automatic meta-moderation tool to make sure all those automatic-moderations are 'fair'...

I think we know who the bigger karma whore is here. Wonder why you post a comment that you know will be moderated down as an AC...
And as a side benefit as the flywheel slows down as its energy drains the computer runs slower and hence requires less energy. Therefore it will never use up all the available power and just keep getting slower and slower indefinantly...
Note to pedants, dont bother poking holes in this, I know it wouldn't work that well. 8)
I think i've been reading slashdot too long. I read Neil Postman as Natalie Portman and was wondering how that post managed to got moderated as Informative.;]
Slashdot Mirror
Unfortunantly thats not a list of links, its just list of URL's so it isn't illegal under that 'hyperlinking is illegal' concept.
I think unicorn is about to discover the power of the slashdot effect on his email inbox. ;]

Let me guess, you were in so much of a hurry you forgot to click post anonymously? Or are you just a karma masochist?
Burn it to CDROM? But wont that leave more evidence to destroy than what you started with?

Ok WTF did I do to that url? Its here anyway. Maybe I should preview my postings after staying up late to watch the eclipse.
You could just use php's image manipulation functions to generate crossed images on the fly.
an example from the php manual that shows how to create text labels based on a fixed button image
Why is this moderated as a troll? Its FUNNY!

Maybe it would, however I think its a hell of a lot easier then getting a skin graft to change your fingerprints once a week. 8)
Damnit where are my moderator points when I need it, this thing should be +5 Insightful. ;]

Do AC's get moderator points nowadays?
