Embedded Linux On a Digital Stethoscope
An anonymous reader writes "A team of electrical and computer engineering students at Calvin College is designing a digital electronic stethoscope running uClinux as its operating system. While there are many embedded devices built on Linux operating systems, medical devices running open-source software are extremely rare because of the perceived difficulty in obtaining FDA validation. The device is in its early stages of development, but major hardware choices have been made, and the team has recently released a Project Proposal and Feasibility Study."
...installing Windows Vista on the aforementioned stethescope. Would there be room enough for McAffee?

will consuming that extra donut will have marginal effect on penetration of linux?
To quote Homer Simpson - "Donuts. Is there nothing they can't do?"
You are wrong about this one. The spoon project still exists. It just got sporked.
... and then they built the supercollider.
Actually, the spoon project did fork into a knife project.
If you are about to mod me down, keep in mind that this post was most likely sarcastic.
