14:30 < r2wj> Is this an AI project?
14:30 < r2wj> Looks like you have a CIA bot..
14:30 < kanzure> nope, not an ai project
14:31 < kanzure> we're working on apt-get for hardware
14:31 < kanzure> are you a linux user?
14:32 < r2wj> ohhhh
14:32 < r2wj> yes I am a deb/ubu user
14:32 < kanzure> :) well then you probably already have a pretty good idea
14:32 < r2wj> So - like.. makerbot?
14:32 < kanzure> not like it, but yeah i'd like to be able to apt-get install a makerbot

18:52 < fenn> `"Sakharov then tested a MK-driven "plasma cannon" where a little aluminium ring was vaporized due to the huge eddy currents into a stable, self-confined toroidal plasmoid and was accelerated to 100 km/s. Sakharov later suggested to replace the copper coil in MK generators by a big superconductor solenoid to magnetically compress and focus underground nuclear explosions into a shaped charge effect. He theorized this could focus 1023 protons per se
18:53 < fenn> MK =~ explosively pumped flux compression generator
18:55 < fenn> i guess he had the same idea i did, wrt plasma cannons for antiballistic missile defence
