AC, your comment just shows you to be ignorant and possibly much more likely to die as you live - stupidly.
Bob Pease really was a great in the field of analog design (and I'm sure other areas). He knew intuitively what most probably take years or decades to pick up. He was a treasure trove of knowledge.
I join the others in raising a glass to his memory.
I have to admit that I haven't checked the specs of commercial digital movie cameras but can tell you that with most CCDs the dynamic range is way bigger than with film.
If they don't digitize with enough bits, or throw bits away, or the compression is too extreme, you can lose dynamic range.
Amen. And now that I have 3D, no need to go to the theater any more for anything. I can wait until shows hit Blu-Ray.
No cell phones. No kids. No sticky floors. No people absentmindedly kicking your seat. No people around you talking or babies crying. No outrageous prices for snacks.
I was reading on Wikipedia about the different Civil Defense Geiger counters and some were made with a radium check source. They noted that with a half life of only 22 years, those will be significantly changed from their original values. You would need to calibrate the source with another meter of known accuracy to know where you stand.
Some of the CD counters had uranium check sources. That's the kind I have. With a half life of tens of thousands of years, it should throw virtually identical counts as the day it was secured to the side of the meter.
I don't know about the new ones, but the old yellow Civil Defense Geiger counters have a small uranium check source under a label on the side. It has a very long half life so for all practical purposes the counts are stable even after 50 years.
Old Coleman lantern mantles are thoriated (why you do not want to breathe the dust when changing one out) and put out 1200 to 2500+ counts per minute (1.80 - 3.75 mR/hr). Even "Lite Salt" is somewhat radioactive because there is a significant potassium isotope that is radioactive. You would have to know the counts for a certain amount of salt, but it should be pretty straightforward to calculate. I'm sure Wikipedia has lots more examples.
It's important to know the difference between Geiger counters and "survey meters". Geiger counters are much more sensitive and show counts on lower ranges. Survey meters are for higher levels of radiation. It could be in Japan you need both depending on where the girlfriend's family lives, but I would bet a Geiger counter would be sufficient.
If they aren't protected with strong security, and thieves can extract the information, it's as good as people posting all that information on Facebook or similar.
Even without the potential legal liability of having attacks, threatening e-mails, or child pornography traced to my router if I left it wide open to anyone who wanted to use it, why should I allow others to sap my bandwidth or help take my ISP into data caps?
I pay for my internet service and my neighbors can do the same for theirs.
I speak from experience. I allowed my next door neighbor to piggyback for "just e-mail and some web surfing". They seemed to be low on money so I helped them out.
Then their house sprouts an HD satellite antenna and I notice my own Netflix streaming stuttering. It turns out they had gotten a DVR/DirecTV setup and were doing their own streaming. I blocked DirecTV and next thing I get is them asking me to help them fix their connection because their X-Box wouldn't connect and they wanted me to enable specific ports. Their X-Box would connect and it turned out the ports were what the DirecTV service rep had told them to make sure were open.
They decided they wanted more bandwidth and were lying to me to get it. It pissed me off. I then configured QOS to limit their data rate to just what the X-Box needed to play online. They finally decided to pay for their own connection.
It's just a pain in the butt and a liability to open up a wireless connection to anyone who wants on. I realize my story isn't exactly what this thread is about but it isn't far away. Leave your router open and people will just start soaking up bandwidth. With all of the streaming services out there, data rate increases are inevitable. It's easier to just not ever get on that merry go round and lock down your router.
Besides, liability is far lower. Anonymous users have no accountability.
Is it really that we have too many scientists, or just that we have too many mediocre science grads who don't realise that the quality of their degree comes nowhere close to matching that expected of the science graduate even two or three decades ago?
I don't think that matters. As one with a science Ph.D. degree, I found that there weren't that many companies that really needed my specialty. I had to go where the jobs were instead of being able to live and work where I wanted. After having to leave a very poorly managed company that was going under, I got lucky and landed a nice job until we got downsized.
That was when I decided it would be in my best interests to change careers. I'm now paid more and have more opportunities in a different field.
On the one hand the advanced degree opened doors and got me established with a track record, but in the end it was really more of a waste of time and a real pain in the ass. Anyone who has done the Ph.D. dance can tell you how political and fraught with danger the advanced degree track can be. I made it through ok but I saw others get their lives basically ruined. I don't agree by any means, but I understand why some students go postal at their dissertation defense.
It's a double whammy. Advanced degree can mean pigeon holed in the outside world and then there are the risks of not even getting the degree if you don't know how to play the game.
Maybe biochem/genetics is different but the more traditional sciences like chemistry and physics can really suck. Even if you go academic, what are the odds you get tenure? I've seen really good people get booted there too and have to go start over somewhere else.
I also ditched satellite and cable (had a free cable subscription for a while with a new house) and don't miss it at all.
I have an antenna to get the local HD channels for local news and network special/shows, and then a couple of Roku boxes for the rest. Even though I could watch the network news over the antenna, Roku has a Newscaster channel that lets me time shift and watch the nightly news much later in the evening.
I use DSL for my internet connection and it worked great for all the streaming content. No cable fees and no satellite fees. And no stupid religious and shopping channels - though Roku is starting to fill out their channel selection with those. I don't add them in so I don't see them or have to block them on the TV.
One other thing about the Roku is it has a huge channel lineup. Music, screensavers, special interest and the like. It has a lot of stuff that simply isn't available through cable or satellite. With Netflix and other movie/TV streaming channels, it's really hard to justify spending even a penny on cable or satellite.
"The Michigan State Police have a high-tech mobile forensics device that can be used to extract information from cell phones belonging to motorists stopped for minor traffic violations.

A US Department of Justice test of the CelleBrite UFED used by Michigan police found the device could grab all of the photos and videos off of an iPhone within one-and-a-half minutes.

I do have a good TV that does 1080p, surround sound, and a Blu-Ray player. I also have Roku player for streaming content (even though the Blu-Ray player and even a PS3 both support streaming).
Blu-Ray discs look phenomenally better than streaming or DVD content especially when the scenes push the limits - dark or bright - that really highlight the blotchiness/artifacts from limited resolution or dynamic range.
Blu-Ray movies aren't that much more than DVD. Yep there is a difference, but for movies that I want personally, it's worth it. Even though I have some favorites in DVD, the difference is enough that I have been slowly replacing them with DVD version.
I know that many don't notice or care about a difference but I definitely do and the experience is just so much better for me with Blu-Ray media. It's very noticeable for me when I see the blotchiness with streaming or DVD and kind of bursts the immersion.
Streaming is definitely nice for many shows/movies/features and so is DVD. But when I want to really watch and immerse with a good movie, it's Blu-Ray hands down.
While I agree there is no need for threats, the OP mentioned that he was inclined to "take it up the chain" because the IT person wanted an account.
Not aimed at the IT person directly, but the OP certainly seems willing to make threats on his own.
The OP is an ass and should have a severe talking to by management. If I was the IT person, I would see the OPs threat to take it up the chain and raise him a discussion of plugging unauthorized equipment into the network, busting HIPAA regulations, and potentially exposing the organization to security breach, bad publicity, legal liability, and fines -- and have that discussion in front of management when the OP took his case "up the chain".
I can't believe people actually buy this crap about how if they don't understand something it is just like religion and might not be "truth".
The quote by Feynman is out of context and didn't mean Feynman didn't understand quantum mechanics. It meant it was an extremely complex subject.
I am sick and tired of the intelligent design morons trying to get a foot in the door to discredit science so they can present their totally faith-based crap as how everything really is.
Uh, thanks for that clarification. It is what I was saying all along - so far there have only been TWO explosions. The three that was discussed was only with respect to unit three.
I did not mean there are no problems at Daiichi. Did I say that? No. What I said was the article was discussing the second explosion - out of two total to date - that was in unit number three.
What I was saying was a false alarm was that there has not been a third explosion. That was the false alarm. The title of this news piece is "Third Blast at Japan's Fukujima Nuclear Plant". Just to be clear for the people with reading and comprehension difficulties - the third blast was a false alarm. Not that there are not big problems, or that radiation is being spread, or any of that.
All I said was a false alarm was that there was no third blast - at least to the time I wrote it and it still seems to be the case. Let's hope it stays that way.
That's not what I am saying at all. It's never been considered a nuclear bomb type of explosion.
What I am saying is that a 3rd reactor building did not blow up and provided a Babelfish translation of the Japanese news story where they discuss unit #3 - not a third explosion.
Hey all - I think this is a false alarm. If you translate the original article, this is what you get... (albeit a painful translation...)

It is hydrogen explosion indoor shunting appeal with unit No. the first Fukushima nuclear power generation 3
A big explosion got up with unit No. 3 of the first Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant of Tokyo Electric damaged by East Japan great earthquake disaster (Fukushima Okuma-cho) at about 11:00 a.m. on 14th. According to Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, I confirmed that a hydrogen explosion happened. The ex-Emperor preservation considers the possibility damaged both of a storage container made by steel covering up pressure vessel, it which a nuclear reactor is in to be low. The ex-Emperor preservation requested the inhabitants whom there was within the range of 20 kilos to take refuge in a building. According to Tokyo Electric, it is said that at least 11 get injured. This explosion is thought to be an explosion and the same kind that was blown off by unit No. 1 on 12th. The Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano spoke the big change with [the possibility that radioactive material is scattered in large quantities is low] for the data of neighboring radiation doses after having assumed it [it seems that the soundness of the storage container is maintained] at a press conference from 0:40 on the afternoon of 14th without being confirmed.
The emergency core cooling system that the unit No. 3 cools a nuclear reactor after an earthquake 1 running by departure from same source is a stop. With the unit No. 3, the state that pressure and water level in the furnace are unstable in continues, and the hydrogen which a fuel rod is exposed at one time and does it, and is easy to explode is considered to have occurred. From the afternoon of 13th, I injected seawater in a furnace and tried cooling, but the explosion happened in the middle. By the explosion that happened with unit No. 1 on 12th, the destruction remains in , and the abnormality isn't confirmed to a storage container and a pressure vessel. The ex-Emperor preservation considers that this explosion is confined to . According to the House of preservation, I considered that there were at least about 600 inhabitants in 20 kilos zone and called for refuge to the indoor. According to Tokyo Electric, it is said that I confirm pressure vessel, that I am not broken with the storage container either. It is assumed that the neutron flight isn't confirmed at the outskirts. The nuclear reactor is protected from the inside in pressure vessel, storage container, [a wall] of . But I become the serious accident equal to Chernobyl accident when a pressure vessel and a storage container are broken.
