The pilots and their windows are on the top side of the aircraft. The lasers are pointed to its belly. Can that do any dazzle/harm whatsoever?
I imagine a landing with horizontal lasers would, but while trafficking (likely by autopilot) i doubt that.

Submission + - QuakeNet addresses government sponsored attacks on IRC networks (quakenet.org)

Barryke writes: Like FreeNode, it seems more and more legitimate businesses or non-profit organisations are being targeted by government subsidiaries, in attempts to disrupt and spy their users. One of those tactics applied by governments is the DDOS which (perhaps not so) coincidental is what their (criminal?) suspects are accused of. Is this irony or hypocritical?

I believe they designed servers and integrated some smart software to be able to do that with great performance.
But you can duct-tape this kind of recovery on commodity servers if they boot via PXE/TFTP on a rudementary but very effective level though, in tandem with one configuration channel each that you could have fallback for quite simply.

I imagine rollout scripts would first check if rollout to a test-subset is succesfull before continueing with all production servers. I speculate this article might just be about this subset, but story being spiced/beefed up in spite of more exceting/serious errors at server heaven.

The hardware is not ready, at least not until they use hardware to build composite mutation-images that show relevant (pixel) changes only. There is no point in trying to parse a single image a second, or -on the opposite side- a video stream.

In my opinion, efficient wearable vision software should ignore lower quality versions of what it already saw, it would make a huge efficiency leap. I believe this architecture ultimately would be a software skeleton for a mental world reconstruction much like humans perceive.
