Northrop Grumman says its new 15kW FIRESTRIKE continuous fire solid-state laser is ready for orders by US military services.

A 400lb relatively compact device, can be combined into a 100kW battery, continuous run-time as long as power and coolant are provided, "designed as a line replaceable unit (LRU) for battlefield applications".

"Energy efficiency for Northrop's chains is supposedly in the 20 per cent region. This suggests that a full-bore 100kW battle ray will weigh about 1.5 tonnes and require half a megawatt of power.. within the ballpark for modern combat vehicles."

Да ну их на хрен, сделали бы что полезное.
А я вот рубевские блоки научилась в функции передавать в качестве параметров, а не фигни. Их так можно передавать дальше в рекурсивный вызов:

def dostuff(&code)
code.call(7)
end

puts dostuff {|x| x + 9}

Хотя убей бог не понимаю, почему нельзя в языке сделать нормальную лямбду, а не этого монстра. Лямбда у них тоже есть, но увы, блок - это не лямбда :-(
