Fascinating.

The "pinger" is a tiny piece of junk !!!

FYI:

No ugly faces or manic histrionics involved in the commentary.

Dave Jones eat you heart out.

It's a single purpose device best kept as simple as possible for
reliability, battery life etc. That whole FDR is pretty old school though.

The commentary nearly sent me to sleep, no chance of that when Dave is
talking (whether he's annoying or not is subjective, but Dave is never
boring).

is an article on FDR's and the origin, current and future activities.

Apz, but unale to relocate it again.

Just another journalistic steaming turd. It doesn’t even mention ACARS
or ADS-B which both do a much better job than the shit it mentions.

I think what really got his goat was the linking to evolution-related
articles on the New Scientist web site. Evolution isn't something condoned
nor endorsed by the Liberal party, so Rod can't have a bar of it.

Along those lines though, the article about Neanderthal-Human interbreeding
could certainly explain a lot about both.
