[ExI] Mega/astro-scale engineering mailing list announcement

[Bryan Bishop]

http://heybryan.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo

The discussion topic is: "Astroscale/megascale engineering technical 
discussion, i.e. Matrioshka/Jupiter/moon brains, Dyson spheres, laser 
stars, etc."

This is somewhat of a study group, to calculate feasabilities and poke 
fun at the vast imaginary structs, but news and other tidbits are OK. 

I'll be posting my thoughts on "laser stars" in a few days-- it's one 
particular application of the sun that could be used for signaling 
across galaxies with incredibly focused light. But would it be enough?

Sidenote: on the confirmation email, click the link. The mail server is 
acting up and the "reply to subscribe" feature is dead. I am new to 
list administration.
