Boeing completes successful test of air-to-ground laser turret, enemies are teh doomed
Don't know how many people have been keeping up with this new tech like I have, but it is pretty interesting/scary.

Re: Boeing completes successful test air-to-ground laser turret,enemies are teh doome
Think I'll e-mail Boeing and suggest a target for their air test...my neighbors house...what a b*#!h. I figure, they already do some of their high altitude aircraft testing here anyway, and I live right by the airport, so it wouldn't really be out of the way for them to blast her out of existince, should be no collateral damage to my house, and I can just throw on my shades, grab a lawn chair and a beer and watch the show!

Well, obviously, I am not a real genius, only a pseudo-genius.
And maybe I just saw it flipping through the channels, because that title doesn't sound familiar at all.

Real Genius was a great movie. This laser looks cool.
But I wonder how practical it is?

Yeah! Real Genius! One of Val Kilmer's finest moments in film history.

I see that picture and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" starts playing in my head. Maybe its because I have the movie on DVD. Who knows.
