Drones have become very fashionable these days. You almost can't attend a wedding without hearing the buzz overhead and getting photographed by those winged motherfuckers. Now apparently, Boeing has developed a very precise laser that can track and down a flying object. Reminds me of a friend who recently posted some pics he had made with a drone, and later reported that a flock of seagulls had mistaken his drone for an enemy bird, attacked it, and brought it down. The pic of the wreckage wasn't pretty at all. There had been quite a lot of feathers floating around after the skirmish, I expect. Now imagine that those nasty birds had been armed with lasers!!!1!1

Aaanyway; here's some footage of this laser in action:

Dailyquote:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
