Doesn't Israel also do an interview with all potential passengers as well? I've read that a personal interview is the single-most effective tool Israel uses to prevent terrorists from flying.

Robots could be supple loving comfy cozy affectionate machines. But when the kids start prefering to play with them than me, then we have a problem.

...our Canadian Government Scientist Muzzling Overlords! Thanks to them I can happily enjoy my media-induced pleasure place in peace. Excuse me now while I clean the blood from my orifices.

With advancements in medicine and the declination of our environment, I for one, am looking forward to ending my artificially enhanced 212 year old life in the blaze of a fiery meteoroid blast!

I wonder if the burst was close enough to LIGO for it to pick up a Gravity Wave? That's the theory anyway that gravity waves should be measurable in association with GRBs... But waves in the ocean travel much slower than the wind that creates them, so maybe there's a lag between the event and the actual measured wave.

Skaters would have a good time using moving sidewalks! Probably hit like 50mph coming off those things.

No one else has mentioned this cut, but I'm not overly suprised. Tri-Tip is huge (wildly popular)in California. In my limited travels, I haven't seen it much. It is an excellent cut and marinades very well. I enjoy it medium rare but rib-eyes are my favorite rare at the Tee-Off in Santa Barbara. Their RibEyes are ginormous! I digress. The only particular "style" Tri-tip I've found is the Santa Maria style with lots of seasoning. However, most like to put tri-tip on french rolls with lots of salsa or bbq sauce. I like it best on camping trips cooked over coals with no marinade, wheat tortillas, and lots of fresh tomato salsa and avocado.

Will it continue to pulse while only attached to the placenta? For example, is it possible or beneficial for both the baby and placenta to be outside the mother for a while?

So what I don't understand is if this particle would ever naturally occur? During the big bang? In a supernova? And if not then why continue to spend money and time on the task of building bigger and bigger particles? What use will they be if only to exist for a fraction of a second?

...I'm all for it. But by how much will it extend the battery life? And when they say it will "Drastically" change the notebook market I doubt that; netbooks folks won't care about 3D and Desktop Replacement folks don't care if their machine is plugged in. Mabye in a smaller segment of mobile gamers this will make a difference.
