Maybe not a death ray actually, but definitely a death spot.

It’s called Dead Drops.
Hey guy, what the hell are you doing?
Oh.
‘Dead Drops’ is an anonymous, offline, peer to peer file-sharing network in public space. I am ‘injecting’ USB flash drives into walls, buildings and curbs accessable to anybody in public space. You are invited to go to these places (so far 5 in NYC) to drop or find files on a dead drop. Plug your laptop to a wall, house or pole to share your files and date. Each dead drop contains a readme.txt file explaining the project.

VIDEO Wikipedia tells us that laminar flow :
“occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers, with no disruption between the layers.”
“In nonscientific terms laminar flow is ‘smooth,’ while turbulent flow is ‘rough.'”
Smooth is right.
