In addition to this, some of these will be a wonderous godsend

In the case of STI's you give the RIGHT antibiotic the first time (which is why it's useful to carry one of these in your pocket).

And usually in such hospital recommendation, the recommended drug is the one which (according to current research and statistics) is the least powerful, but still manages to kill all the bugs.

You don't jump immediately to the latest glycopeptidic atb (well, unless a PCR test result told you so).

That's what I was trying to refer to.

- to use the lowest powerful antibiotic

EXCEPT in the case of STI's, where the social implications of having an asymptomatic carrier spreading disease around the population far outweighs the standard procedure for treating, for instance, community acquired pneumonia. In the case of STI's you give the RIGHT antibiotic the first time (which is why it's useful to carry one of these in your pocket).

Of course, it's going to be a little hard to explain if it fails ;-)

I wouldn't worry, there's a tshirt for that!

It's obvious that there would be a market for a low cost alternative to, well, almost any ebook reader, so I just went to have a look at eInk's website to see if there is a developer kit. There is, here and even the prototype they have there looks pretty cool. So I went to have a look at the shop...
I don't know much about the hardware business but I would say that $3k is way too big an entry cost for a developer kit. OK, they probably haven't got to mass producing the screen yet, but the rest of the hardware is common enough, the OS is Linux and the drivers and applications are open source. So what are we paying for? How much does a production licence cost? I'm all for eInk making an honest profit out of their work, but this looks like a stumbling block for the development of an open alternative.

From here:
In addition to ad scheduling, Google Adwords is now offering an option to use standard delivery or accelerated delivery. Standard delivery will take a campaign's daily budget into account and space the delivery of ads throughout the day. Accelerated Delivery displays ads as quickly as possible until a budget is depleted.

This doesn't seem to match up with your experience. So either your example is from a while ago, or your friend was playing with fire and using "accelerated delivery". Not that that would eliminate click-spam, but I don't see how you'd get your budget blown so fast with "standard delivery".

This is a taser. It fires wire-connected electrodes at a target to electrocute and subdue them. It's effectively a single-use item.

This is a stungun. The electrodes form part of the unit, hence it requires close proximity and physical contact, thus allows multiple discharges.

The student in the story was hit multiple times by discharges from a stungun, not a taser. Physical effects from both stunguns and tasers vary from person to person - some are completely fine after charge removal, others are dazed and immobile for 15 to 30 minutes. Others can and have died.

Plus, it would look sooooooo cute with my cowboy boots.

Or, you could spare yourself the proprietary interfaces altogether and get an iRiver H300 (comes in 20gb and 40gb flavours). They already have usb-on-the-go, fm radio & recording, line in recording, photo viewing, text viewing, longer battery life, uses filetree directory structure, and they play videos.

Been out since August of last year (if not earlier).

And when you've bought it, head over to http://www.misticriver.net/ to figure out how to use it.

iRiver = iPod Killer.

The REAL issue here is that very powerful green lasers have gotten extremely cheap ($59.00 to $99.00) so they need to throw the book at this guy to prevent the rest of us citizens from playing possibly dangerous games.

A more realistic thing to do is come up with a technological solution to prevent an airplane from being downed by a $100.00 device. A self-darkening wind screen, some sort of polarized surface, a one way mirror coating?

The use of the Patriot Act is a travesty. The guy is pointing out stars to his daughter and obviously Mr. Clueful was not exactly trying to hide the fact from the police helicoptor.

" With 40gb/60gb, you could store quite a few compressed dvds on there. I want an iMovie!"

Go here then

"I wonder if you can hack it to do videos." Or you could buy a music player that actually does play video

no one who ever uses a high capacity digital music player (remember back when we called them MP3 players?) will ever go BACK to a low capacity sub 100 song player

Actually I think this player might address all those features. It would solve everything but the price, and if you're willing to step down in capacity it solves that too.

I'd stay out of the 'how to make a still' chapter unless you want very urban ATF breaking up your mash bucket and stoving in your cooker.

You're not making booze, you're working on an experimental fuel proto-type.
