    My question too, warheads? Really? That seems fishy.

    I don't think it can. With this you can see how your kid's friend's parent's are driving too. Now that's a little creepy.

    My thoughts exactly. And how does it actually work? Are they comparing before and after images and looking for differences? Or looking for ground disturbances? ... Seems like a system that could be easily fooled, perhaps that's why they don't tell us any specifics.

    I notice that the press release doesn't say anything about how close this shot is to meeting the fusion goal. Isn't that a goal set for FY12 (September 30, 2012)? How is the implosion going?

    Thanks for the assist, that's great info. And I'll look for your flight!

    I find it amazing that the theories seem to be correct. It's miraculous to imagine how solving a bunch of equations leads to a theory about how there is this invisible stuff that flows between galaxies or between quarks or neutrinos (whatever those are). It's like working a word problem backward ... typically there

    I'm completely not an expert in this area, but it seemed like the way the balloons I've tracked worked was that they carried a GPS (cheap cell phone based) and a separate APRS transmitter that sent packets to ground based HAM radio towers. Within the packet was some call sign identifier that you could then use to plot

    I'm not an expert in the hardware by any means (I've just tracked a few that friends have sent up), but a google search for APRS transmitter is probably a good start.

    Ah, I didn't know that, but that would explain why the APRS worked at altitude, but the GPS didn't. However APRS only gives approximate location dependent on the number of HAM radio towers in the area. The GPS is key for actually finding it when it's on the ground. APRS can say it is within this radius, but the GPS

    Also, the flight path predictors use predicted weather/wind information to guess at what it's path will be, but now that it is after the fact couldn't they track it based on actual weather information? I mean they now know what direction the wind was blowing during it's flight time. And presumably they know it's

    A lot of people send up two communication devices. Usually one GPS and one APRS. I've helped track a few balloons and the APRS seems more reliable at altitude.

    Could the two tone mean it has rubberized grip? That would be nice, but I'm not crazy about the look though, it takes away from the sleekness.

    Fugu is the fish you were thinking of.

    Stickygram makes your Instagrams into magnets about the size of the picture on your iphone. I have them all over my fridge.

    What happens to the stars after they do their magic? Is there an issue with having gold nano particles floating around inside your body?

    We really like the piece of mind of the Angle Care Monitor. You'll need to adjust the sensitivity periodically as the baby will move more or less with age. Also if he/she gets all scrunched up in one corner/side of the crib, it will go off in the middle of the night, but I'd rather be woken up with occasional false

    Not that I care if the guy is gay (priest or not), but couldn't he just claim he didn't know where it came from? Could have been a prank someone played on him or could have been a virus his *cough* stick picked up from the last thing he stuck it in.

    I think it is a matter of resource allocation. Bacteria are constantly trying to invade, but usually your defenses are on top of them and everything works to your advantage. But when your defenses are busy fighting off flu viruses and all the havoc they are causing that bacteria sneaks in under the radar and POW, you

    It's possible to reverse the polarity of a magnet, but it's not easy and probably not feasible without taking the magnet out of the case ... and if you're going to take it out of the case, then just turn it over.
