If it's a Philips product (of which they would have been capable of). It might be that friends of the evoluon (the Philips "flying saucer") might be able to help you?

Judging by the look on her face, I'd say she agrees... http://www.dse.nl/~evoluon/avscan5k.jpg

This machine used to be on permanent display in the Evoluon, a museum dedicated to technology and modern art in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. See here. This site is run by a man named Kees who may be able to answer your questions.

You would make a great NPC.

> Where can I read the details of the design?

On Google, of course, you silly rabbit. A simple search shows many examples like this one. I have also read a book about one, called Rendezvous With Rama by Clarke.

Actualy this one actualy gave me the solution to something that had been bugging me ever since university - the wave/particle paradox.

All explained by this simple little experiment:

The wavelike properties of an electron particle shown by firing a single electron particle at a youngs slit experiment giving rise to an wave like interference pattern on the other side of the double slits

- its all because for a single electron particle there were two equaly possible histories - it could have gone through either slit, and the wave like interference pattern is just demonstrating the quantum probabalistic nature of the universe. The probability of the electron going through either slit is 1/2 so the historical evidence of the electrons path is just like it went through either slit - and the only sort of evidence we have for something coming through both slits is an interference patteren from a wave.

I'm so glad all thats cleared up, now I know that sometimes particles look like waves - when quantum probability enters the equation. Its so simple Jim - even a child could understand it!

fun book though, through the link, very hitchikers, but like for real.

According to a survey which is shortly mentioned on this site, the 10% is rather correct. Choose `The name 1 op tien' from the menu for more information. There it says 1 of 10 respondents to this survey answered yes to the question wether they ever had sex with a person of the same sex...which offcourse is the wrong question so after all the 5% you mention might be rather close.

They tried the same thing in a limited sense in several cities in the Netherlands, a few years back. These ISP's - called "digitale stad" (digital cities) - were usually sponsored by private companies, such as IBM and SUN as well as the local authorities. (See: Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Leiden, Groningen, etc)

Huge amounts subsidies (tax money) went into these so-called non-profit organizations blocking independant commercial initiatives. Back then, the monopolitized phone company earned lot's of money, as will the one in Hamburg. Meanwhile, Hamburgers will have no alternative, since THERE SHALL BE ONLY ONE.

In the Netherlands phone bills are slighly lower due to privatization (and new legislation with respect to telecommunications). Only recently, when legislation allowed ISP's to get a percentage of the customer's phone bill, commercial ISPs (such as: Zon, Wanadoo and Het Net) started to provide their services for free. If it would not have been for the digital cities, these services would have been provided by a free market much earlier...

I have just created another mirror of the code here
It is in The Netherlands so it should be save for a while........ (I hope)
And I am going to add another mirror everytime I read something negative about it....
Just a thing in this war, but everything helps...
