You can afford to be efficient if the computer only does one thing and one thing very well.
Also if you have government money. Civilian computers have to do everything, and not always in the best ways. So they are inefficient.

The problem is if someone gets *trapped* in front of the beam (like in front of a crowd that can't disperse easily). It basically amounts to torture and burn injury in that case.
The other issue is, outside of pirates, what is this for except to be used against US citizens? The US DoD seems to be spending a LOT of money on various "crowd control" devices --- since when is the DoD mandated with "crowd control"? Tin foil hats away (or maybe tin foil jackets... I wonder if they've tested the effects on someone wearing reflective metal)

That's pretty cool. If it works, and the thing isn't an insane mass of mutated fur and limbs, I'm kind of curious what they are going to do with it. You'd have to keep it somewhere reasonably cold.
One day, we'll have dinosaurs, or reasonable facsimiles of them.

DuQu Mystery Language Solved With the Help of Crowdsourcing
"A group of researchers who recently asked the public for help in figuring out a
mysterious language used in the DuQu virus have solved the puzzle, thanks to crowdsourcing help from programmers who wrote in to offer suggestions and clues. The language, which DuQu used to communicate with command-and-control servers, turns out to be a special type of C code compiled with the Microsoft Visual Studio Compiler 2008."

Rapid Response: Navy’s Mad Scientists Seek ‘Sixth Sense’
"The Navy is pulling an M. Night Shyamalan. In a tough fight, rely on a “sixth sense,”
say its mad scientists, not just your reasoning skills. That’s the way to win wars. Promising “new insights into intuitive decisionmaking,” the futuristic Office of Naval Research is putting together a new program to turn what it actually calls a “sixth sense” into a military advantage. “Evidence is accumulating that this capability, known as intuition or intuitive decision making,” the scientists say in a new proposal, “enables the rapid detection of patterns in ambiguous, uncertain and time restricted information contexts.” Mastering with intuition, the Navy says, should help troops with “Cyberwarfare, Unmanned System Operators, Information Analysts, Small Unit Leaders and other domains.”" See: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012...y-sixth-sense/ |

Cure for baldness? Researchers identify scalp chemical that stops hair growth
"Researchers at the Univ. of Pennsylvania say they have identified the scalp
chemical that stops hair from growing, and believe it may finally—finally!—lead to the elusive cure for male pattern baldness. The scientists found that a protein called PDG2 was three times as prevalent on the scalps of balding men. (PDG2-blocking drugs are already being tested by researchers working on alternative treatments for asthma, so they're hopeful testing for baldness can be expedited.)" "Until then, men will undoubtedly continue to resort to expensive treatments for hair loss and regrowth. According to In Touch, actor Tom Cruise wears a "helmet- like device"—the $699 "Hands Free Hair Rejuvenator"—for 25 minutes a day to stave off hair loss."

Doesn't the gene for male pattern baldness show up in females as breast cancer? Sooo... any crossover for the two with that treatment potentially could mean cure for at least one type of cancer. or at least a way to limit it.
