Sorry if this has been posted before, pretty cool though:

Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky!

I'm disappointed, I thought someone made an actual phasor out of a blu-ray laser. Nuts.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Thus begins the Format War arms race. Will HD-DVD be able to field their High-Def Disruptor Cannon before it's too late?

Nah, the blu-ray folks blinded them with their blu-ray laser phasers too soon.  They're now too blind to see what they're working on.

In all seriousness though, I wonder what would happen if the guy who turned a DVD-RW drive into a cutting laser decided to do the same with this?

That's one I found.  I did see a much better one though, where it showed how he made it.
