I just got back from a trip where I did this. I had 2 large memory cards that I could use to hold about 400 pics total. When I started running out of space, I would find an Internet cafe and have them burn them onto CD. Pretty easy.
If you are worried about losing them, burn 2 copies and send one home.
Christ. It's really not that hard to remember any system once you've learned it. Americans are on the US system for day to day life, and it seems to work just fine.
Besides, I"ve always thought that the metric system was only for people bad at math. Only sissies need to move decimal points.
The research was conducted a few years ago, and the researcher moved out of the US to avoid restriction of the research he could do. This is so telling.Laws that restrict things like this aren't going to prevent it. They will just push it offshore or underground, and the US will lose it's opportunity to be a leader in this field.
If you don't go after every perceived violation of one of your trademarks, any trademark violation claims down the road will be compromised. It would be easy to argue selective prosecution otherwise.
If you have a trademark and wish to keep it, you have to defend every perceived violation.
I use and like Simple Document format. It uses a fairly
simple text based format, is extendable using perl, and
can produce documents in a variety of formats, including
HTML, SGML, Docboox, HTML, RTF, PS, PDF, etc...
Yup. You can still do normal list manager type actions by sending mails to listname-request@host.domain.tld.
Administration stuff can also be done from the command line.
One thing I'd like to see in Mailman is better support for virtual domains. As it is, you pretty much need a separate install for each domain you want to use it on. You have to do tricks with email aliases on the machine to make it all work.
You are referring to the Therac 25. (http://courses.cs.vt.edu/~cs3604/lib/Therac_25/Th erac_1.html)
The problem was that they assumed that safety features in the software would be good enough, and thus didn't have the mechanical safety interlocks that earlier versions of the machine had.
When the operator was using the machine, they would fill out a screen of info, and press a button to initiate the treatment. Sometimes, however, things would inexplicably go awry and the patients would receive many times the expected dose.
It was very difficult to reproduce the bug. It turns out that you needed someone very familiar with the interface to reproduce it. The system worked by scanning the values of the input screen occasionally. The bug only manifested itself if you could fill out the screen, tab back a few entries, correct something, and initiate treatment all before a sweep could pick up your initial input. Only operators with nimble fingers who did that ten times a day were quick enough.
The morale of the story is that you shouldn't depend completely on software to save the day. Use everything at your disposal when life is at stake, including mechanical safety measures.
Well, if you don't have sunlight available, I think you can probably use batteries... Just a thought.
It would be useful for 90% of the PDA using world, no doubt.

I like dividing by 12.

Combine this with the conductive concrete from a few weeks back and you'd have a great way to turn roads and buildings into power sources.

Doesn't employing a 14 year old count as child labor? What if he was working in a sweatshop sewing shoes together rather than fielding support calls?
