It was centered 1 mile away from the Lake Anna nuclear reactor. Fingers crossed that their safety record was top notch... I can't reach anyone down there to check.

First, I apologize for posting once previously. I had a poor title and I couldn't figure out how to edit or delete it.

Preliminary results for one question are here: http://pulse.media.mit.edu/results

Isn't that what marketing is? Telling a version of the truth but doing it in a way that leads minds to another ideal? Apple, Think Different.

If anybody has any comments or feature requests, please share. This is my grad school project. I still have another year to make this thing kick ass, but it's a decent start for now.

"When an experienced scientist says something is impossible, they are almost always wrong. When an experienced scientist says something is possible, they are almost always right" - my memory, but almost certainly somebody else first

America's stance: democracy and 'freedom' are fundamental rights of all people.

-and-

America's actions: refusing to recognize a democratically elected body because the resulting will of the people is openly hostile towards America and Israel (Hamas winning seats in Palestinian elections).

That's the recruiting pitch they use, but in all honesty, I think it's bogus. Things have changed. Researchers are now more likely to take a job elsewhere than volunteer to be locked away in the depths of Langley. We have no grand enemy and those capable of developing such technology are choosing to work for contractors instead

Background on this device: has been declassified for some time and it's main defect was that it can not function in over 2-3 knots, both from an acoustical recording quality and navigation standpoint.

I'm starting a new project and I can't wait to see what this thing can do.
