How the he** do you keep the heat from shattering the glass?
I can understand punching a small hole in glass, it happens so
quickly that the bulk of the glass doesn't get hot. But, cutting
a line in the glass, I would expect the heat to eventually develop,
unless you did it extremely slowly - punching lots of tiny holes
in the glass, and letting the laser rest between holes. Then the glass
could be broken across all the holes.
