A new use for lasers...

[blueonblack]

Here's a quote from this month's Popular Mechanics, on a new system designed to prevent the spread of Malaria:

'The "photonic fence" combats malaria by surrounding houses or villages with a perimeter guarded by lasers that shoot mosquitoes from the air. The computer-guided laser can track the flight of individual mosquitoes, and distinguish harmless males from biting females by measuring the frequency of their wingbeats.'

I kid you not, verbatim. It has been "successfully tested in the lab".

I've got the perfect name for it: Skynet!

Haha. That's funny. Let's develop a complicated expensive system for killing mosquitoes for people who cannot afford a $4 net.
