A missile can handle high G turn and acceleration that would kill a human, so yes, missiles would be way more effective than bullets or lasers.

Could it be used to spoof an ad server? I have used a number of Android apps that will continuously try to reach ad servers if you use any sort of ad blocks, which causes extra battery drain. Could this system be set up to send some placeholders so the app will stop trying to pull an ad?

Man. It was still about money. They were buying the rights to the articles when they bought the printing plates from other newspapers. You don't think they just reset their own plates do you?

It would be awesome if there were some way to send data without wires. :-/

Actually, since DC relaunched with their new "52" event, part of the changes included ALL comics being available in print and digital forms on the same day. So it's everything, from Action Comics to mini-series that are available in digital form the same day you can pick it up at a B&M.

I don't know, it seemed to run just fine in Chrome.
