In fact, it is a completely different technique. While they use a spark chamber and iron to cut-off low energy particles, we use Scintillator Strips and a Cherenkov can. So, ours is smaller because it uses modern techniques.
Cosmic Ray muons are particles with very high energy. That means that to stop them you need a lot of material. This technique is good for geology, big buildings, volcanos, etc. And still you need weeks of collecting data to get any results.
I'm part of that project. We like to call it Applied Astro-Particle Physics to Archeology. Yes, it sounds like an oxymoron, but that is exactly what it is.
The basic concept is similar, except our detectors use modern HEP technology. Our detector is smaller and more versatile than the one in the article. The smaller detector will permit us to use it in a harsh enviroment. We plan to use it in a unexplored pyramid (still buried) in La Milpa, Belize. Read: in the middle of the jungle, as opposed to a well studied pyramid. It is going to be exciting!
The way it works to secure your house is that it detours thieves: they rather just steal the $18k robot that they can just grab and run than your car, computer or others.
Very interesting. Can you have this person elaborate on this a bit? Maybe write a webpage, and link it as a reply to your post? I really want to know what they know about me.
16pounds, desktop processor. Sounds like an Alienware Laptop. Those puppies have 3 fans (!!!) to cool it down. In fact, I don't think it can technically be a laptop. If you put it in your lap, the high temps would boil your sperm...
This games sounds really really interesting. Can anyone provide hyper-links to more information online? I bet the rule-book is hard to find, but where can I learn more about this game?
Yes! Please! Sue Google! I want them to put back in SCO on top of the litigious bastard search!

Do we want to live in a place where everyone is expected to be connected remotely all the time? Where remote connection is way more important than face-to-face? Move into The Matrix then!
Why is it socially acceptable to talk to people but as soon as the person is separated by a bit of technology is it considered obnoxious and socially unacceptable?
The question is why is it socially acceptable for people with cellphones to be rude by being loud and interrupting social situations with them? I strongly feel that presential interaction should be more valuable and respected than the typical cellphone call "I'll be there in five minutes".

I think he just hid his cache in the satellite before it went up. Darn, that is going to be hard to get.

Quite contrary, it did work, but the results weren't interesting. Nothing new was found in the pyramid. Go read the paper.

When you say babies, you mean the half-robot/half-human borg-like babies that would come out of such kind of sexual relationships?

Just imagine a beowulf cluster of these. Just like the DnD movie! *schivers* I can't believe I watched that horrible movie...
I for one welcome our new robotic draconic overlords!
Thanks. I've been searching for a *good* Ender's Game webpage, and I can't find a single one. All of the suck pretty bad. Any ideas?

It is called TMA-1, is just a magnetic anomaly, not a big deal.
don't forget Ask Slasdot, where most post start with "IANAL"

Yes, I do!
Now I have to pay for Linux? I better switch to the new free open source version of Windows Fast!!

I want to get one of those devices and just run after the Verizon guy all the time.
