They probably hope to discover "inertia canceling."
I could not find it in the article, so: What are the power requirements for such a mechanism? Where will it be located? What about ITAR issues? Why not make it longer for smaller accelerations?
The concerns about the hypersonic regime of fluid flow should not be an issue if they fire from a mountain, there are a hand full of craft that can handle the plasma, although none accelerate like that at such a low altitude.
Aside, what happens to fuel (liquid and solid) under such high g-load? I can find no studies on it.
How about selling CD's much less? I am sick of paying EUR15 or US$18 plus shipping for a CD. There are these things called enhanced CD's, that have everything they described: video, artwork, even games (e.g. Deftone's "White Pony").
I love CD's, if you reduce the price, I will buy many more. I get a higher quality and something physical.
You have to be very careful with those numbers as they are in no way comparable to other universities/"clown colleges" (read Community Colleges). My university's engineering college average is 2.8 (around a B-/C+ range) and has a bell curve distribution, very few courses can be graded straight scale due changing professors from semester to semester.
On top of that, there are some universities that have rampant GPA inflation that makes their graduates looking all the more appealing.
When it comes down to it, are you going to take a 2.7 from a prestigious university or an online university?
This could be amazing, almost like an iTunes for books. One person "rips" the book (what a bad phrase), then decentralized distribution. This could significantly reduce the price of things such as Textbooks.
I have not RTFA, but of the iPods, was it a specific make/model? Is the failure reproducible? Was it meant as a "hand-warmer" feature for colder climates?
I doubt that Apple has sold 175 million of the same iPod, making all of the comments about "15 out of 175 million" a complete misrepresentation.
I hate iPods and Zunes, but what of Zunes starting on fire, or any other MP3/video player?
If I am not mistaken, in the U.S. there are these little stickers on almost every device that says FCC compliant, so they have already "inspected" the device and have no legal bearing for re-inspection without a warrant.
Now in cases presented in the article it makes sense because chances are the rig is either non-certified or set-up improperly. Any individual that has ever operated a radio should understand the importance.

Why are there no comments about Doctor Who and the Carrionites?
Yes, this is called a shock tube.
A very simple reference for the mathematics behind the concept can be found in Anderson's "Modern Compressible Flow."
I wonder now about heat and erosion.
I have so may questions, I would love to get my hands on the plans.

P.S. I am an Aerospace Engineer.
Next thing you know we will be complaining about a diabetic and obese bee population.

Have you ever seen Red Dawn, imagine what would have happened if those kids had bloody cell phones!
... if copyright holders also okay this route of publication.

"It's a trick. Get an axe."
I am aiming to be modded funny.
Would this not be some sort of collusion?
