- BrettFromTibet, on 08/26/2008, -3/+33Hopefully it will help our extra-terrestrial neighbors Digg our stories and read our feeds. I refuse to believe we are the only sentient, technologically-advanced life in the universe.
- inactive, on 08/26/2008, -0/+26Can I get this for my WiFi? :-D
- lulzitsadigg, on 08/26/2008, -0/+23IS THERE ANYTHING LASERS CAN'T DO?
- RegularJohn, on 08/26/2008, -2/+22No encryption can survive nigerian paypal phishing...
- sterntastic223, on 08/26/2008, -0/+14Anything w/ lasers = awesome. Even wart removing lasers are pretty sweet.
- sockpuppets, on 08/27/2008, -0/+11Make Andy Dick heterosexual?
- Abbeygargoyle, on 08/27/2008, -0/+11How long til RIAA accuses them of piracy over laser and sues?
- mrwells, on 08/27/2008, -0/+11Great, now that bitch Venus will stay out of our conversations with Mercury.
- Schooley02, on 08/26/2008, -0/+9Sounds like the basis for a new Bond film.
- laserdog, on 08/27/2008, -0/+9Emit non-coherent light.
- inactive, on 08/26/2008, -2/+10Said "lasers" with be used to exterminate earth...unless you pay me 1. Million. Dollars.
- carnitas, on 08/26/2008, -1/+9Lasers in space? Just don't point it in their eyes.
- mattletron, on 08/27/2008, -0/+7Which pioneering soul will be the first to send a viagra spam over it?
- Kral, on 08/27/2008, -0/+7Um, the story is on quantum cryptography, keeping those extra-terrestrials from digging our stories and reading our feeds. I've heard of not reading the article, and even not reading the summary, but you seem to have failed to even read the title.
- Iatethecrayon, on 08/27/2008, -0/+6another laser story! Cancer detection and space messages, oh laser what CAN'T you do?
- AmyVernon, on 08/26/2008, -0/+6But wouldn't it be nice if we weren't and they could Digg our submits?
- inactive, on 08/27/2008, -0/+6O yeah well I've got a mirror now you can just talk to yourself
- gatewaydrug, on 08/27/2008, -0/+6Disable caps lock.
- jmkiii, on 08/27/2008, -0/+6Careful with that
- inactive, on 08/27/2008, -3/+9Sounds good except for the line-of-sight issues. Physical obstructions such as planets, stars, gas, and dust would be a factor as well as gravitational fields from those objects. Then, you'd also have to have a near-perfect aiming & timing system to hit a target a few light-years away. It would be a pain to have to aim at a point in space where the target will be a few years later when the laser finally gets there.
- Feyr, on 08/27/2008, -0/+6get you laid
- LeviTheSmith, on 08/27/2008, -0/+6Let's bomb some government building :D
- mr.gates, on 08/27/2008, -0/+5If you refuse to believe then don't believe there is no reason to think there is or isn't intelligent life outside our solar system. There isn't any evidence that there are other intelligent life but that doesn't mean there isn't and we have just started looking.
Belief is the waste of a mind there is nothing wrong with 'not knowing' until there is evidence to support claims either way. - authors, on 08/27/2008, -0/+5"Lasers"
- drewniverse, on 08/27/2008, -0/+5Lasers are the devil! Stop believing those things, they will take a cookbook and show you "How to serve human-kind."
- trollick, on 08/27/2008, -1/+6Were lasers attached to sharks?
- bgrah449, on 08/27/2008, -0/+5Sentience is an evolutionary accident, not an inevitability. I highly, highly doubt that life on Earth is the only life humans will encounter during their existence, but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if we never encountered intelligent life as we know it - technology-bearing, abstract-thinking social animals.
- mtekk, on 08/27/2008, -0/+5No, no they shouldn't. They should however send you through the lava of an active volcano.
- MorganMghee, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4good grief
- inactive, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4That's big. What they will send ?
- pirlok, on 08/26/2008, -3/+7good, now I can be a terrorist!
- defrab, on 08/27/2008, -0/+4Because its a single photons source. A single photon can't carry enough energy to do any damage
- KyjL, on 08/27/2008, -0/+3Tomato had it many revisions ago. You just needed to duct-tape-rig a sapphire laser to the end of one the antennas, turn on QUANTUM ENCRYPTION and you're golden. They took it out not a month after it was released unfortunately, citing "spectacular explosions" and "severely inefficient use of power"
- inactive, on 08/26/2008, -6/+9Understandable, but as plausible as it may be, it's also just as plausible that we are alone.
- drewniverse, on 08/27/2008, -2/+5Only the government would want us to believe that. The numbers are so infinite that it is beyond a plausible cause that life exists beyond our planet.
- jmkiii, on 08/27/2008, -1/+4This is not a new concept. They already do it in BSG.
- demodawid, on 08/27/2008, -1/+4Find true love.
- Kazumato, on 08/27/2008, -0/+3Pew pew.
- loneBoat, on 08/27/2008, -0/+3It's already an option in the latest release of the DD-WRT firmware.
- Rudegar, on 08/27/2008, -0/+3does that mean we have to setup a new seti@home to monitor all lights too ?
- electricwaffles, on 08/27/2008, -2/+4dugg for lasers
- Myztry, on 08/27/2008, -1/+3So if someone is eavesdropping. The mesage (key) can't get through.
That not only make it's secure. It also makes it jammable. - thehypedzj, on 08/26/2008, -2/+4sweet
- joshhan, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2"...incest your dick size?"
wtf? that's not even close. - TheOther1, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2pr0n
- justjoehere, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2We don't need satellites, that is what the friggin' sharks are for.
- ivantalboys, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2The point of communicating with something a few light years away would be precisily because we can't get there.
- defrab, on 08/27/2008, -1/+3Why would you send that to other planets? Both beams are sent to the earth, and are used to communicate between two parties. Whats the point of communicating with something at a few lightyears if we can't get there...
