I imagine that these type laser weapons will first be seen in UAV's anyway. They are kind of perfect when you think about it because they can attack soft targets so well. Like say a group of miscreants planting a roadside bomb. You just fire the laser and if there is something explosive, it blows up in the face of the person planting it.

Awwww. He fall down and go boom.

You have provided general allegations with no specific cases.

You can only call the events that Fox covers contrived if you go to one and it is different than how it is portrayed on Fox. So I would like for you to specify an instance of a contrived story.

I am a little confused. Is it really more important to you to criticize commentators on Fox News for being active participants in the political process than it is to criticize the other media for abjectly ignoring important stories? Which do you think is worse?

Are you honestly subscribing to Anita Dunn's assertion that Fox News is an active architect of Republican policy? As an active member of the Republican party, I can assure you that Fox News VERY often ignores things that the party would like covered and relentlessly pursues things that we wish they would leave alone.

What your are talking abstractly about is the Sean Hannity's, Glen Beck's and Bill O'Reily's, Mike Pappantonio's and Keith Olbermann's of the world. These people are called commentators and they make their living saying outrageous things.

Fox doesn't have to "manufacture support" the proof is in their ratings which they continue to dominate. There was another network that tried to make a living pushing there own agenda. Air America went broke because no one wanted to hear what they had to say.

Before you call these events manufactured, you should probably try attending one.

Before you jump on the bandwagon of libs trying to marginalize Fox News, you have to acknowledge that ALL of the media are guilty of ALL of the practices that you are accusing Fox of.

Case in point. I was in Tallahassee in 2000 at the controversial election certification. If you watched the event on TV, you would think that the Capital was filled with equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats. I watched as a CNN producer asked the crowd if the were for Gore or Bush. There were maybe a hundred Gore supporters but there were easily a thousand Bush supporters. I was surprised to hear the commentator make a comment that the crowd seemed evenly divided.

I later saw the segment air on CNN and had I not been their myself I would have thought that the crowd was evenly divided.

So the reality is that the media creates the images that they need to support the story that they are telling.

Progressive measures like this are the things that keep innovation down. They don't understand why you need to be on the internet so much so they decide you are sick, deamonize the "illness", and take steps to cure you. Thanks guys. We need you guys on the side line so that we can catch back up.

I would go further to say that if I rent an apartment. It is my space. Under the terms of the lease, the landlord and his employees have the right to periodically enter the apartment for the purpose of conducting maintenance and inspection of the property. Even still, the landlord cannot give the police permission to search my apartment without a warrant.

Of course Barrack was awarded the peace prize. This years prize also includes a set of Ginsu steak knives and 10 free car washes.

The `news` was that others had already gained the technology. The US even sells the technology.

To who England, France, NATO? None of these countries are talking about blowing some one off the earth.

It is 'normal' be to concerned about Iran yet is unheard of for the USA to ask israel to disarm (let alone ask them about their atrocities).

Who talks about deploying a weapon?

Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran.

Do you imply that a US nuclear weapon is less evil?

I am implying nothing. Nukes are simply devices and neither good nor evil. I am specifically saying that the government of Iran is temperamental, petulant, and irresponsible.

We should be carful about the US since they are bankrupt, they migth become instable, like the former USSR; what about the nukes then?

This is just a great argument for having fewer nukes not more nukes. And really, the US is bankrupt. Have you ever been here? For us bankrupt is I might have to turn off the cable TV. The Soviet Union it was we may not be able to pay our government workers for the next six months.

Do you think we 'calmed' down after 09/11? Really!?

If we hadn't calmed down, we would still have a Republican in the White House.

The world has gotten worse after 09/11 because of the way the US of A responded to the evil that they let happen to them. (yes, forgot about the sloppy investigation? the thermite/thermate? non-existing airplanes in the pentagon, same for that ditch out somewhere, etc)

If by let happen, you mean we stopped launching cruise missiles into the camps of the terrorists and tried to "fight fair" with people who have no idea of the concept, then yes you are right we let it happen. That is what you get when you try to treat terrorists like civilized people.

Or do you think the security theatre by DHS etc really helps? Name-checking? Bin Laden could fly out at 09/11, but we cannot fly in without being treated as criminals? As if our names are weapons of mass destruction? Names don't kill, bombs do.

What you are saying is that it since it is easy to pick the lock, you should never lock your door.

The USA is at fault for all of this And now we have this crisis, and the Iran thing is just to distract. It's a step up to another war.

Talk about FUD. This is what you get when you behave like a spoiled child after other spoiled children have "ruined it" for everyone.

Ok, maybe I am missing something but I thought that we were supposed to be working to reduce the number of nukes in the world. Is your argument that because the US has nukes, we should allow other countries to gain the technology. As I remember, the whole world had a fit when both India and Pakistan demonstrated their nuclear capabilities.

Regardless, I think it is perfectly normal to be concerned that someone who is professing the annihilation of one of your allies is so blatantly developing the technology to do just that.

The real problem is that as these smaller countries begin to develop nuclear technology and try to extort concessions out of the developed world using threats of nuclear weapons, it will only be a matter of time before one of a developed country takes those threats seriously enough to do something about it. If you don't believe that, then ask Saddam.

What could be worse is one of them actually deploying one of these weapons. If you think that the US went crazy when they flew an airplane into the trade center, just wait until someone is actually caught trying to deploy a nuclear weapon.

It took us eight years to calm down after 9/11, and in the wake of all that we destroyed two regimes, had one dictator executed and are still deployed in two foreign countries.

You think this is about hypocrisy. This is about preventing our involvement in yet another stupid foreign war.

I am sure for you that these off the shelf NAS boxes are worthless, but they might have some value for people who have less stringent requirements and don't expose their networks to the wild. If you are aware of a critical flaw, please mention it. Some of us just need a place to store 20,000 photos in a place that the whole family can access.

Remember, one man's trash may be another man's so-so solution.
