Graphene Can Be Made With Table Sugar 142
Zothecula writes with this snippet from Gizmag: "There's no doubt that the discovery of graphene is one sweet breakthrough. The remarkable material offers everything from faster, cooler electronics and cheaper lithium-ion batteries to faster DNA sequencing and single-atom transistors. Researchers at Rice University have made graphene even sweeter by developing a way to make pristine sheets of the one-atom-thick form of carbon from plain table sugar and other carbon-based substances. In another plus, the one-step process takes place at temperatures low enough to make the wonder material easy to manufacture."

Submission + - Mass Effect headed to the big screen! (aintitcool.com)
kminke writes: Quint over at Ain't It Cool News just received a press release announcing that Thomas Tull's Legendary Pictures has acquired the rights to bring MASS EFFECT to the big screen.
From the article. "With the giant success of the first game and even more massive success of the second I was wondering how long it was going to be before we saw this adapted. Looking back at the history of studio video game adaptations there's the possibility this big news will hit, some great directors will be attached and then it just won't happen. Halo (with Neill Blomkamp) and Bioshock (with Gore Verbinski) come to mind."

I don't think that this is a practical solution.
Lasers are very focused and don't spread out like normal lights, if they were to spread out the power requirements would be huge.
Also It would be walking a very fine line between delivering enough light to be noticed and too little to cause eye damage to people looking up.
Lastly You would have to check the wording on the agreements banning weapons in space, even though it is not the intention this could be viewed as one.
While this is an interesting idea I don't think it is very practical and there could be better solutions.

I think that the idea is to use the satellite as a Warning after an earthquake has been detected by seismic sensors, as they do now.
Not actually finding a Tsunami.
But yes I think you are right in that they could not be used to detect the wave.

Personally I like Code::Blocks, but that is what the teacher is using in my course.
But I would agree with using what the instructor is using.

While there hasn't yet been an official announcement (perhaps at the Game Developers Conference next week), Valve has sent various teaser images that, when put together, point squarely at a product or service made for the Mac.
