That fine is way out of line from what a person could ever pay back. I can't even save enough for my 3 kids to go to college let alone 675,000. I can understand they would want some amount of penalty but that is way out of line. Hmmm.... I wonder how much the judges get every year salary. Maybe that is the disconnect. They think the person can just save for 5 years and pay it back. We need a part of the government that is working for the people to look for punishments that are way out of line for the crime. Why don't we have a part of government that does this? They would have to not be allowed to accept third party donations of any kind. Congress is supposed to be doing this job but based on verdicts like this it is obvious they are failing us.

Probably because they have to determine how to make a real device now that they have an empty box on the table and their movement that was choreographed to sync up with the computer display video. There is way too little info on the website to make me believe it is even slightly a real demo.

You are of course correct. The naming of this is very misleading to everyone that hears it for the first time (and probably 100 times after that). The data is encoded on one side. You keep one local. You send the other entangled half to another remote spot and then read them both. This should be referenced as quantum encoding or quantum entanglement only and not have the name teleportation at all in it when discussing the process.

Or just make sure the path of the warhead stays in a path which would cause damage to something the group sending the laser owned if the beam went through the missile. You would then blow the missile up right as soon as it detected a laser beam first touching it. Then the laser beam would continue on to a friendly target with nothing to dissipate it until then.

So are you saying there is no possibility to reflect said laser beam without destroying the missile? Materials are certainly available that can take the heat while reflecting a good percentage of the beam reducing the amount of heat on the missile itself. Some high power lasers actually reflect the beam internally to help get to a high power level.

The earth is like a tiny grain of sand, only much, much heavier.
