I was thinking something along the lines of a split second pulse. Enough to blind the eye/s of the predator. In fact, they have multiple eyes because of an on-going biological arms race. Anyways, it was just a fun exercise. In reality, I suppose you're right in that it could never work out that way.
I suppose one implementation of a bio-laser would to engineer an eye, or multiple eyes surrounding the entire organism. It would provide exceedingly good vision, but would also work in reverse. Rather take in light, they could emit a beam of light with the lens focusing it on its target. It's ok of the the lens gets damaged in the process. It was only designed to fire once, and you have multiple eyes that provide protection as the other one heals. Much like quills on a porcupine.
The fact that there's a media narrative is hardly news. The purpose is to provide ratings. Anything that will lead to scandal, corruption, or supporting national politics is the name of the game. Fox does this to support Republicans, all the others support the Democrats. I suppose this is news to those that don't already know this however. And this "taking sides" of the national media is nothing new at all. Very old hat in American history.
Ask any budding journalist as to why they want to be in this industry. Sometimes, you will hear a common theme of "To change the world for a better place". Generally that implies a motive with bias. No, their job to REPORT the news in its purest form. I'll tell ya, that can both end wars and create them. But oh no, we can't have that now can we? They should report the good, the bad, and the ugly with impartiality. BBC is the closest as it comes to doing that. Perhaps I'm giving them too much credit however.
Considering that politicians of all stripes (A) already have shit-piles of money, and (B) seek election specifically for the power. That is why above and beyond any leadership position, we must hold our elected officials accountable. When we show complacency, that's when their reversible damage takes hold. When that damage becomes too great, that's when you have a revolution. You only need to look back on history as a guide.
For me, the smart grid system is about self empowerment. Here in Houston, I have access through my provider to view my consumption based on the hour. Visually seeing all this activity puts things into perspective. I would say that I've at least cut my usage between 15% and 20% knowing what I know now because of it.
Eventually, I'm sure the metering resolution will go down from the hour, to every 15 minutes and beyond. Some residents already have access to a 15 minute resolution already. I also expect to seem some sort of iPhone/Droid app to monitor my activity as well.
FYI, I live in an older complex unit built before the 1980s. Obviously CenterPoint Energy upgraded this area to the new Smart Meters, I just don't know when exactly.

Considering you own a very large market here in the US, it's up to you to introduce it to the market. Pitching the sale is the only way to know for sure. If you're not going to bother selling the WP7 phones, why even have them in your inventory? Does not compute.
Renegades. They're the non-team player types that shoot from the hip (without drawing), and fly by the seat of their pants. They're the most dangerous and reckless type of employees you can have. Oh, and the concept of a contingency plan? It doesn't even cross their mind. If you ask, you will get the typical "what ever, please..."
If you have a renegade for a boss, leave your company, like yesterday. Trust me on this.
I value your comments here on Slashdot. I can't say that of many others. Sincerely.
So if it were you, and you had 10 grand in the bank, what would you do with it? Buy gold (physical, not paper), food, ammo, or all the above and move out to the country side? Should excrement hit the fan, I don't want to be any place urban. Those are potential war-zones during times of major civil unrest.
Ok, I give up. I admit, I don't have Twitter account, nor do I plan on getting one. Could someone - for the love of God - tell me what's so damn special about Twitter that it's worth using? The whole concept of "Tweeting" sounds like a bunch of dogs barking at the moon and sniffing their own butt.
You see, from 8 - 5, I work on reactive admin support. From 5 to 9, it's pro-active maintenance, planning, and documentation. Seriously, I'm overworked. I know this, but this market sucks balls!!!
In this market, you're either unemployed (and looking), or overworked doing the workload of potentially three employees at 60+ hours/week (companies cutting costs). From my view, there' no middle ground between work and play. So at 34 years old, gaming is a legendary form of recreation I simply don't have the time for.
You may already know this, but Autoruns is a great utility that will provide a quick review of the environment. It's basically a HiJackThis but more professional. It will even display based on which user hive you select.
Just do as Geordi La Forged does. When he has a problem, he sits down and speaks into the air starting with the following statement "Computer...".
So, this is how much of our research will be conducted at office around the world. Get ready for the revolution. This will be much easier than "googling" you're way out of a problem. Much MUCH easier.
Production: Computer... have X-materials with Y-funding and an Z-deadline. What is the most profitable solution.

Recently, I've ran into a nasty form of Vundo along side FakeAVs. When attempting to kill processes manually with Process Explorer, it will trip a behavior in that the virus will hide all folders and files, and actively delete Start Menu shortcut files from the All Users group. Not to mention disabling Task Manager and other items via registry added GPOs. Basically, a final "Fuck you. If I can't have control of this PC, neither can you"
As an FYI, I've even mounted one of these drives via Windows BartPE boot disk. In fact, the virus does hide the folders and not simply a Windows Explorer trick as one might think. Just you wait! I'm sure the next version will be coded with ransomware.
Most of the people within the major cities do not. More so the younger generation than the older ones, but even the elder generation folk know when the CCP is politicizing an event that makes Beijing look better than the other cities (the Chinese are very prideful of the cities they live in, much like Americans).
Ironically, most the wealthy are members of the CCP. Yet, they keep towing the party line to maintain perks and protection and a higher ranking of citizenry compared to non-members. PLA members get shit in comparison, which is why the bulk of them are from rural farming communities moved half-way around the country side so to remain de-tached from their fellow country men.
But what I want to know is this. Who or what selected group of individuals are pulling the strings here. I don't believe for a second that it's just political momentum of a post-communist era at hand. There's definitely a smaller group calling all the shots, and I'm willing to bet their hearts (if they have one) are as black and cold as obsidian.
She would win. Anyone with a "D" next to their name is toxic, radioactive to politics. Without going down the list of who started it and when, the fact is most American view the Democrats as owning this economic failure. Bush, if he could run a 3rd term might as well win the election.
Security through Obscurity plays a part in the overall scheme of things. Not by itself, but a part. That said, unless you use different user names, you shouldn't be telling everyone that you use the same password for all those sites. There are several potential implications that could render partial to complete ID theft.
OT, I know. But because we haven't heard an official statement from Slashdot on this matter, can someone please tell me why we're having so many of these Varnish cache server errors? What is it, some problem with the cluster environment? Regardless, this all seems to have started with the new format roll-out.
It's called psychological projection. You will find that the bulk of this mindset makes up a disproportional amount of ideologs. For every conservative that you name, I can name an american liberal. No need to get into a pissing contest here.

If it's a "gill", why is the bubble only good for 24 hours? Does it also diffuse back into the water over time, thus shrinking it?

Ahh, so now I know why Obama met with Steve Jobs. Maybe it was to create new federal agency with Apple behind its control?
Lets be creative shall we? It might be called APP = Apple Policy of Protection. Yup, there's an APP for that.

Agreed. They're not his e-mails, and he shouldn't be involved. Let them figure it out as to why their e-mails didn't get received. Recycle those bits.
No, it's not hyperbole.

That was shrewed.
As it currently stands, China may become the leader of the world, but most certainly it will not be one of freedom.
