I have it on good authority* that the aliens will come calling in 2012. 2020 might already be too late for this kind of weaponry...

*For certain definitions of "good authority".

Unfortunately backing a commercial company into a corner so that it 'concentrates the mind' usually has only one effect (depending on who's doing the corning of course). I'd cite Acorn's Risc PC vs WinTel AT Clones.

Fortuitously, scientists have just demonstrated the ability to shoot laser beams down. Well, kind of. Of course, it’s a bit difficult to detect them for interception…
Or buy an reverse laser that adsorbs all laser beams. :wink:
