I've got $50 that says they get some corrupt corporate stooge judge to rule this as completely legal.

Ok I *may* not have understood exactly everything from the article, however it appears to me that this is really boron/carbon/beryllium fission not not fusion. Anyone else pick up on that? Or do I have it wrong?

Ok so if you can turn a flat surface into a speaker, which has been done. And you can cancel out the sound of a room to the outside using the same technique, which has been done. Why couldn't you just put a microphone on both sides of the surface and only cancel out the sound from one direction?

I think you mean MSNBC.

Oh now that's just wrong.

In regards to the perpetrator of the PSN attack.

1. The Master Control Program, who does he calculate he is??!
2. Sorry I put the new X-Files Collector edition BluRay in and it went crazy.
3. I for one welcome our new PSN overlords.
4. Still think Skynet isn't real??
5. The W.O.P.R. was running another simulation.

Let's start a pool and take bets on who the perpetrator is. I'll take Iran (just because it's a longshot) and the US government (just for the conspiracy factor).

Pure, unadulterated FUD. Plain and simple. Honestly is there anyone in the world that isn't smarter than a marketing person?

Kevlar was superceded about 10 years ago with spectra, and now spectra has become antiquated by another (stronger) fiber the name of which escapes me.

And if that magnet is a neodymium iron boron kind, that would scare the heck out of me.

Actually this is one of the ideas we are throwing around. iRobot actually makes a military robot that can handle any terrain. I'm thinking of attaching the coil from a metal detector to it, then programming it to automatically drive a grid pattern on its own. Then coordinating the data onto a map so that you get a color gradient map of the ferrous metal densities on that map. Then you'd know where the higher concentration of ferrous metals are and probably a better chance at finding a meteorite.

Actually we've already discussed fabricating a fiberglass/resin boom arm for the truck. I'm just in concept design at the moment.

Yes I thought of that as soon as the article hit. However there are less than 10 camera sites at this time, and all of them are on the east coast. None in the midwest or west. I've seen mention of a different (but similar) system in the southwest, but I've been unable to hunt down what it's called and who runs it.

Doesn't this impinge on the the whole "Freedom of Movement" clause in the U.S. Constitution? Remember the path to socialism isn't made in one step, but rather the gradual erosion of rights.

It terms of searching for geological evidence of a crater?
