Makes sense that the weapon would be developed, and the technology is cool, but this is a terrible thing for just about everybody.

Christ, it might as well be another nuke.

Well ya know...
Conflict and war are going to happen. History shows this. It's virtually unavoidable simply do to the fact that there are many religions, for one, and we are humans and selfish, for another...many more reason exist.

Right, wrong, or in between, would be nice to be on the winning side, if there could be a winning side.

This could be a great protection and deterrence from the nukes Russia is about to first strike us with any time now. This is obvious to me. Russia pounced on Georgia, who's been screaming to get under NATO, just to see what our response would be. If we show weakness I believe Russia may just first strike us to gain world supremacy.

I think the technology will be expanded on to increase the range of use. This of course is obvious if we are going to invade the "other" life form's planets. Also, if we expand the range you make air to satellite possible which imo is what the U.S. is trying to achieve for plenty of reasons I will not list.

/me eagerly awaits S8N's coverage of the LHC (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/08/the_large_hadron_collider.html) testing

Concerns have been raised regarding the safety of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on the grounds that high-energy particle collisions performed in the LHC might produce dangerous phenomena, including micro black holes, strangelets, vacuum bubbles and magnetic monopoles.

wikipedia ftw. you'll be updated when the news breaks that our earth is headed straight towards the sun, and all our top scientist can't help cuz they were lost in a blackhole.

Tiny tiny black holes can't sustain themselves. :|
