I'll concede the point that it's not as dramatically different as I originally thought, but those are definitely two different kinds of missiles (mishap notwithstanding).
Point of pedantry: the "B" stands for "Ballistic", which implies targeting adjustments are completed by descent, so something like a Tomahawk isn't any kind of ballistic missile.
...and of course, the people who can't even keep the date straight get the mod points. Eh, I've gotten one, I suppose I should stop while I'm ahead. I just want to know what's the deal with this rocket. Missile.
As I've posted below, a sub-launched Trident II gives a completely different trail (~1:20). They're 44 feet tall, though, so that's around the same ballpark of size. Testing a new solid-fuel system?
I'd say that it's too BIG to have come out of a sub, but there doesn't seem to be a more likely prospect. Will we have to wait for Obama's Asia trip to end for the Navy to own up to this?
You can't do that if your browser is frozen for ten seconds. You have to sit and wait.

Actually, the way I remember the article, it would've been something like "AnonSlashdot4321" and "AnonTwitter4321".
Plus, blackjack. And hookers!
I've only got a vague notion of what the carburetter is/does
...as well as how it's spelled ;)

Wow, that's VERY interesting, jd. The prosaic Defense Contractor explanation slightly less so than the "drop nuke" point, but still.
Somebody figure out how deep that bit of the ocean is for us.
Actually, ULF comm with the dropped nuke pod would be sufficient to trigger a launch confirmation, wouldn't you think?
You're concentrating on the immediate effluvia of the missile, not the persistent remaining trail.

...is that really what you're going with?
Trident II's are 44 feet tall, which is a good ballpark for this object, but their 'trail looks completely different (~1:20 in the vid).
New type?
Today is November 9th. The warning is for November 9th. The launch was last night.
Wrong date. November 9 is today, not last night.
That is a *big* rocket. Solid fuel, for sure.

"discussing"? "retched"?
"brilliant"?
The first microwave ovens could cook a turkey in 15 minutes. Do want.
Previewing is where the "Will undo your moderation!!" warning logic is.
Why is this always mentioned? It's a ROBOT; I'm sure it can send serial data directly into a cpu...

You assume that it's impossible to verify the last gamestate against the player's current actions.
If you say, "but my game is too complicated to do that," then maybe Javascript isn't the right platform for your game.
(i.e. demandbase.com here on Slashdot)
Very informative -- months ago, Demandbase.com wasn't showing up in the NoScript list -- now it is.
Aaaaand now it's 'Untrusted'
Thanks, Crow!

Wow, nice. This should be sigged.
