657610 2008-04-10 04:52:00 Thats a pretty intense piece of equipment.

Almost April Fools stuff. If it's so damn powerful, how do they power it?

657612 2008-04-10 10:54:00 Wow Cicero, this sounds like it is a really fast laser printer!
I will be interested to see how they manage to have puffs of gas in a vacuum chamber. Clever stuff this anti-matter.
(BTW, if anybody is thinking of getting one of these, I am going to be a staunch NIMBY.)

So is it legit or what?

657614 2008-04-10 11:42:00 Sounds good, and you won't even need paper, this laser'll print on rocks.

As to it's parentage, sorry - I dunno ;)

657615 2008-04-10 11:48:00 Ah yes, 1 petwatt of power... sweet

It doesn't need that much power because it only flashes for one trillionth of a second or thereabouts.

Total electricity usage = not much.

Cissy: Obviously did not read the order properly. You just can't get the staff these days!:groan:

R2x1: You're right. It seems that it would print on stone. Amazing! Sounds like the sort of thing that God might have used on the tablets of stone he handed to Moses on Mt Sinai.

Sorry - God had a different and more traditional arrangement. He used a head-man, a specially selected, pointy-headed infidel. (Infidelity was frowned on in those days.)

beeswax34:
You're right ! Would you care to take charge of knocking the laptop USB powered version into shape ? (Before lunch, so take as long as you like ;) )

Cicero :
Now look what you started :o
