Didn't they already try that with Operation Wandering Soul?

(I'm not saying this is a bad idea. I'm just not sure it will have the effect they intend.)

Maybe there's a market for floppy drives after all.

Lasers that can mimic human voices and be projected miles away? What? Voice?
Congradulation. Laser can mimic real 3D images of real object since last millenuim. Yes, it is strong weapon. Enemy surrenders for sure after seen this.

One thing I would suggest, create a partition as a 50G partition as /. Partition the rest as /Home. IF the system fails, reinstall and use the exact same username and all your 'stuff' comes back to you.

So that's what I've been hearing this whole time! :lol: They have a listening device that points a laser at a window, and from that it senses the vibrations from the sounds inside, so they can hear what people are talking about.

Remember seeing a demo at University. They fired a reasonably powerful desktop laser through a lens and where it focussed a tiny ball of plasma was created in the open air, resulting in a flash and a bang as it was pulsed on and off.
