That would be a good idea. We'd need a darn good ballistics computer and some sort of large power supply...so, either fusion or solar satellites, and Mike.
For the balistics, time is not an issue, so any computer with enough RAM/diskspace will do.

As for powersupply. Batteries should work. Also, fission is more than powerfull enough, and setting up your own basement reactor isn't that hard. If a scout can do it, we can.

I'm, um...
Well then.

Let's get some trajectories plotted. ArcInAGel and other with scrap, see if you can find some ballistics program (make sure it accounts for air resistance and the curvature of the Earth) and plot some trajectories to major military targets. Um. Try to guess at masses of projectiles. Let us know how far you've gotten with that bit by some time tomorrow. Other people in his area, try to head over there and set up the railgun. The sooner we get this done, the less time Arc and the others can get raided by the FBI.

Um.
In what universe is killing Obama not a recipe for getting killed by the military and/or the half of the country that supported him?

The ones were we rule the world.Currently: 231 and counting. Not counting parralel duplicates. Though not the ones where the president was on our side.

ArchAIngel, not ArcInAGel, and I got a simple setup, got to know where the guy with scrap is, otherwise, how do I do the math without a starting point? And I think that I can make something by myself to make a 2 KT nuke equivalent, although I will refer to it as a KEW or kinetic energy weapon, as it is simpler. It will be able to hit the east coast of the USA as max range, with the start, assuming at my house, in Washington state. I will need a large lump of ferrous metal, about half a ton per shot, and about 2 shots a day, assuming maximum range and optimal conditions. So really, only one shot a day. I do this sort of thing when I am bored, so there is a good bit of blueprints on my lovely computer. Also, anyone thought of using satellites as KEWs? Cell phone networks have the security of wet toilet paper, and most satellites have engines on them to keep them from hitting other satellites, which could be used to hit them into the earth. Another option would be to launch a large amount of mirrors into orbit, then make a solar array, a la Tyler Vernon. Can you say orbital death ray? I can do the cell phone thing, although the processing would have to be handled by me through proxy servers for a firewall blanket, just in case the right phone is poked about it, as if this occurs the initial incursion would be into one phone, then spread through them all to make it hard to track.

I disturbed a Bay12er? ...I don't know whether to be impressed or horrified.

Well, I'm one of the saner Bay12ers, so don't get cocky. If you disturb Xantalos or somesuch, though...

Yes, and keep in mind I embraced it. Of course, I also am the master mind of the terrifying cloning-baby program, so don't get discouraged either

Why would you clone babies? Their only use is for building material and baby skull necklaces. Seems like a waste of resources to me.

Lack of females. Note, We have approximately 0 females, so long-term plans aer either robots or clones. Or kidnapping females.
