I believe the intersection between "average gamer" and "student who lives on-campus at a university that blocks Battle.Net" is not an immense number of people.
That's why I said it's not a standard. If it were a proper informational/communication standard, all the interfacing that would be needed for any one system is one program to receive the standardized messages and incorporate the new data into its system, and one to send out its own messages to a list of destination machines. Or at least when certain criteria are met: an ultrasound doesn't need ADTs, just work lists (DICOM, of course, would handle that, it's just a quick example).
There is a WHOOOOOOOLE lot more IT in a hospital than just an EMR, software and hardware. First and foremost, he said he works on Ultrasound Machines, which can't be magically created by VistA.
every piece of technology in a hospital uses those standards.
I am guessing that you work/worked in/with a hospital because you know what HL7 is, but saying that everything uses it is completely untrue. To get two vendors' software to communicate requires two custom interfaces to be written, requiring the two companies to cooperate. Luckily, you'll usually find that for even mid-sized vendors, those interfaces have been written already and just need to be tweaked to work for your systems.
Calling HL7 a "standard" is a joke.

I haven't looked at UMLS, but I am guessing it is for automated interfaces -- sending data between different systems. Therefore, there is no one at the console to ask.
Wow, I have to admit that you have gone far beyond my JS skill (which isn't terribly significant) if you can split up a WAV and stitch it back together with JavaScript on the fly... if so, then I bow to your mastery. Hell, I've never split up an image like that either, so I wouldn't dare say it's not possible.
Though I suppose if it's prefetched and you know the file format well enough, I can't see any reason for it to be impossible: just incredibly difficult for me, given my current level of knowledge. Regardless, it's an impressive thing to consider, and a quite thought-provoking use of existing browser technology.
ven places like the kitchen/dinner table. We are talking about "fidgety kids" and the proposed solution as sedation.
I may see where some confusion is coming from: the/. editors (of course). The Slashdot summary suggested that, but neither "the kitchen/dinner table" nor "fidgety kids" is referred-do in the "article" (more of an advertisement, but whatever). As I said before, this is a medical device. Even if it could be purchased by individuals ( which is doubtful), those individuals do not generally have access to the anesthetic gases necessary to use it, so it WOULD NOT be used in a home. This is NOT used for knocking out your kid to get some peace and quiet.
The point is not even that the device knocks kids out: that was already happening for what this is used, like for dentistry anesthetic, which is necessary and has been used already for a long time. The actual difference here is the Gameboy/music distraction while the gas -- that would have been administered anyway -- is being released. Even better, the included PulseOx and other incorporated devices are a good idea, because if they were used at all previously, they were a bit bulky and scary-looking compared to this.
This is ("was": it's actually an old device) a step forward in incorporating multiple existing devices in such a way as to be less intimidating to kids, basically by adding headphones. Even the best, most well-behaved kids in the world can become nervous when a doctor is trying to wrap an anesthetic mask to the kid's head, with all those tubes and stuff.
Just to ensure clarity: no children are being knocked out or otherwise sedated, unless they were already going to be drugged by a professional anesthetist for the purpose of surgery.
Wow, you teach your kids to sit still while their teeth are being drilled without any anesthetic? You must, since these are medical devices, and not for parental use. That's pretty hard-core, dude.

It's probably because chalk is a desiccant, which is used to keep small insects, including ants, out of your home.
Nonsequitorsayswhat?
I believe the intersection between "average gamer" and "student who lives on-campus at a university that blocks Battle.Net" is not an immense number of people.
would you block 40% of your target demographic?
They aren't blocking anyone, except those who can't afford to pay for it. The universities are blocking them.

...he's looking for a little recognition. Seriously, has no one ever read, watched, or heard of Der Blechtrommel (The Tin Drum)?
It's about a little boy who decides not to grow up and his body doesn't age. IT WON THE FREAKING NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE!!!
Geez, you people.
That joke was old when /. has 10 digit UIDs.
What's your number base?

That might result in you needing a liver transplant.

It's also good to remember that it's not every company that hates the IT dept.
Absolutely! Sometimes they are downright scared of us.
the main character was always able to kick his genetically engineered brother's ass at swimming
Uh... I think you need to reconsider your analysis of that: his GE'd brother consistently won the "softy" races.
So your current hypothetical kids are safe?
You obviously have no idea what is going on, kid.

I didn't think of that. Wonder if there's a way to control the volume with JS... "embed" should have a volume attribue.
Except for the music controls, just about everything on that page can be done with current HTML/CSS/JS now.
CSS has some nasty cross-browser problems that tables do not, making them far easier than CSS for many things, assuming you can do them in CSS at all.
Yes, but they make up for that deficit with childishness. This is not to suggest that I don't support them, but seriously...
No it's not common, it's BS. You can't promote your band's website on your band's CD? WTF.
Time to bailout the RIAA!
That's probably in ACTA, and the reason we're not allowed to see it.
You may not include: email addresses, URLs
Thanks for quoting that. Can't contain URLs, WTF? You can't promote your band's website on your own album? That's pretty messed up.

Hammer and dentures. Done.
Kids need to be TAUGHT not medicated.
