Definitely no cracks here.
Of course not, it was all seized in the raid.
(bee-tee-dubs, you don't need to pluralize crack).

Hell, I can't even mod you up!
You could request information relating to subscription to his newsletter, though, if his ideas are so intriguing.
"US Cities" seems about as straightforward a category as they come. Another would be whether the weapon has been dropped.
`"S" words` is rarely about long, flat bits of metal.
Neither, too, is "The Pen is Mightier" about large phallus (contrary to what Mr. Connery might tell you).
*ahem* seriously speaking, the brain is probably still more flexible than Watson, but in general concept, Watson is probably a HUGE step in the right direction.
Of course it's more flexible.
If you pull yours out and throw it against the wall (never you mind the logistics of it), it'll bend and flex to conform to the shape of the brick (at least for a short period of time, until it falls).
Pull out Watson's CPUs and throw them against a wall and they'll fall immediately.
Slashdotters don't have sex, and so they cannot have slashdaughters. Ergo, slashdaughters do not exist. QED.
Slash has had sex with many, many women over the years.
I'm sure he has at least a few Slashdaughters.
MY porn is in the cloud, and everybody knows, its pointless to attack a cloud.
Unless you attack it with fire, as our sun does most fall and spring mornings.
All I know is that I'm still waiting for my goddamn hover board!
You can buy them on E-Bay; the future is now!
Yeah, these revisionist reboots drive me crazy. Next thing you'll be telling me the arch bad guy is is going to blow up the entire home planet of one of the heroes with some space-based super-weapon just to show how bad ass he is.
Or, even worse, some other hero pops in and takes down some space-based super weapon the size of a small moon with a single well-placed blaster shot
Uh, no. What you just said is 'it's not illegal as long as no one cares '.
FTFY
GP's point is such:
If the original copyright holder is no longer around (and the rights weren't passed on either by inheritance or buyout), then there's noone who can sue you
If the current copyright holder is not pursuing legal action against parties engaged in IP/Copyright infringement, then there's noone who will sue you
This is why it's called "abandonware".
The rights holders have abandoned protecting their intellectual property.
Yes, the infringement is still illegal, but there is no penalty for the crime.
I get the same shit when I talk about audio production and video editing, which is something I do with my system. I've asked in all seriousness of self proclaimed Linux experts if there are programs I can get to do this kind of thing and go in to the particulars of what is needed. Predictably I get an initial list of software that was just gotten from a web search, with no consideration of actual use (which I've tried and found woefully problematic and inadequate). After some more back and forth often I get told that I "Shouldn't do that on my primary desktop," I should have something dedicated for A/V production.
You could always start with Ubuntu Studio
A relatively up-to-date (currently offering 12.04LTS and 12.10) fork of Ubuntu using lowlatency kernel, and with an arc of Audio, Video, and Desktop Publishing apps installed out of the gate.
For more, try Google:
"Music Production" + Linux
"Audio Engineering" + Linux
"Video Production" + Linux
Most of the apps listed can be found in package repositories for the major distributions (or at least be compiled from source, if you're so inclined)
Most of the How-Tos are fairly straightforward to even those without a strong background in A/V production.
If you're looking to play around, it's a great start, and if you actually know what you're doing, you can do a lot with it but not necessarily everything that you might be used to doing on another OS (i.e. Gimp v.Photoshop)

So, assuming it was solid, 50 kW would heat it approx 50 degrees per second maximum. Either they tracked it continuously and perfectly for at least 30 seconds, or it wasn't solid. Looks to me like their tracking system is at least as interesting as the laser
TFA said it destroyed, not melted, the target, however doesn't claim how it was destroyed.
Heating a specific area of it enough to have it expand and break the whole ball apart would be enough.
If the target were actually a mortar shell, you don't need to vaporize the entire shell and its contents, you merely need to get the laser to access the gooey center of the high-explosive tootsie-pop.
I pay $85/mo for my ISP service, but then again my ISP service is provided by the biggest shysters in Canada. I dread to think what business service from them would cost...
And why yes, I do pay that much because of the cap...
A former customer of one of those shysters, here.
My internet bill was around $100/mo, due to cap; they then increased the maximum cap, so it went to $150/mo
I've switched to Teksavvy; $64.95/mo for 38mbit cable w/no caps + no "overage" charges, plus they're actually fighting for our rights (Look around @ OpenMedia.ca)

The rule on staying alive as a program manager is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.
