    If you want to sell your music, there is definitely a wrong answer. Heck, even if you just want people to listen to it, there is a wrong answer.

    Well... maybe not ban pencils... but perhaps force people to need a license to obtain a pencil- and maybe go through a 60 day wait period to stop crimes of passion.

    The Sendum GPS tracker is marketed to private investigators, law enforcement and transportation security managers and sells for about $430 without the battery. With the factory battery “it will last 7-15 days reporting every hour in a good cellular coverage zone,” according to marketing literature describing it, and it uses CDMA cellular communications and gpsOne location services to determine its location.

    Maybe they disabled roaming ...

    Even better would be to keep the GPS tracker operational and attached to your RC airplane while you fly it around. It should drive the Feds bonkers.

  21. Bottom Baryon? on Fermilab Scientists Discover New Particle · · Score: 1
    From TFA

    The Xi-sub-b is categorized as are baryon, which are formed of three quarks. Commonly known baryons include the proton ( two up quarks and one down quark) as well as the neutron (two down quarks and one up quark). The existence of the Xi-sub-b has been predicted for some time, but it has been observed for the very first time just recently. It is described as a heavy relative of the neutron and is six times heavier than the proton or neutron. Conclusively, it is a member of the bottom baryons.

    Fat bottom baryons they make the rockin' world go round.

    From TFA.

    Burcham says several potential customers have indicated that a single-finger scanner would be sufficient for their needs—so AOS plans to sell both a single-finger device and a more expensive five-finger device.

    But shouldn't there be a 5 finger discount?
