In relation to the Co2 laser mentioned in the above article, does anyone have suggestions on where I might find a program to control the image? Oddly, It's been the hardest thing to find.

If you're up to it, Google Labs might have some free software code you could sling together to suit your purpose.

Google is scary though.....Do you think I could find something to sue them for and get all the code I want?

[Jasper]

They're passing out code for free at google labs.

google code used to be the only search engine that allowed full regular expression search.

when it just came out people had a lot of fun searching for obvious coding mistakes, off-by-one errors, etc .. (because such mistakes often leave an application open to buffer-overflows and other attacks)

it's also fun to look for programmers cursing or complaining about their management in the sourcecode comments

though these days there's also Exalead for advanced search queries: http://www.exalead.com/search/querySyntaxReference

(sorry, being a bit off-topic, exalead has nothing to do with code search, but is a regular web searchengine, and a very powerful one at that)
