I prefer not to say ....

I'd guess a simple number substitution of 1234. "I don't want to use that, it's too easy, how about 1004. Yeah, okay, that's much harder."

The product pages say a maximum jump height of about half a meter. I'm pretty sure the average kid would survive a fall from that height (they are sunk into the ground, not on stands). And they are so small that you can't have more than one or two kids on them at a time, eliminating most of the danger of trampolines.

Blocked here too, as "humor". Guess we're not allowed to be funny.

Sure, but have the model clean under her fingernails next time. Ick.

Sprint's map is just sad.

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.
