Stupid DARPA idea of the day

Since when are high power microwave beams non-lethal? I guess since they don't bother specifying which specific wavelength.

Discussed more in my science blog, and rosefox's.

I've heard descriptions of CD/DVD nuking but never done. Good thing Netflix is so forgiving!

I've heard that roaches can survive nuclear blasts, but ants in microwaves are a new thing to me. Maybe their exoskeletons are metal and act as a Faraday cage.

yeah, my mom was like "it was damaged when we got it!" and apparently Netflix believed her...
