It takes a lot of radiation to rise above safe levels.
That is if you strictly view this from a medical x-ray stand point. These are not your standard maedical xrays. They are about a 1000 times more powerful they have to photograph welds and structual componets for safety defects. And althou a medical xray is done almost with a camera like quickness. Structal xrays can be on for a long time in some cases xray video is done.
X ray rad is typically blocked by a resonably thick brick wall.
Wrong again in hospital settings all the walls must afford some level of lead shielding or must have a self contained piece of equipment with lead bariers that must be assembled. Xray levels through block walls are not low enough to count block wall as a safe barrier. One item is, lead.
The equipment used for testing items like this is huge in some cases and that is the stuff they are taking about the safety protocols on this kind of x-ray equipment are many and to be stricly enforced. One flash of an xray may not be harmful in and of itself but typicaly this equipment is taking thousnds of those flashes and often at much higher levels than normal medical xrays. If the equipment was in a room with a filled cinder block wall as it's barrier and the confrence room is on the other side of that wall(not a likely scenerio) and there is all all day staff meeeting in there. Xray machine works all day. A couple of hundred images. Those people are toast. Not nessacarily right then and there but easily within 5 years. If not due to some form of cancer and/or massive tumor outbreak, something similar.
The movie The China Syndrome was a great example of what happens with improper xrays of welds althou the movie didn't show what real weld xray exammining is like(hey it's hollywood). The premesis is the same as what is happening now with someone forging records.
There are a lot of safety procedures that go into doing this. They are time consuming and difficult but they are there for a couple of good reasons, liablity and bad PR.
The is the first small step to a situation that as bizzarre as it may seem is in the near future be quite plausibile. Instead of getting the latest fashion wear from clavin klien, you could get the latest genetic fad. You could end up with a genetic implant that will change your eye color and it would not have to be permanet. A implant that could heighten sensory response to touch, sound,taste or anything else for that matter, Have you ever had sex on acid or X. Now you can have it done with a genetic dirvative. The possibilities of what are coming is mindblowing and we can do that to with a small modification of chromosome #7.
I am over the 13 year barrier placeed by ICQ, but have met individuals under that age range. They have all the good MP3s. And when napster started freaking out on the users who had metalica or Dr.Dre on their lists we would just trade thru. the ICQ messenger. Now that users under 13 are having problems they switch over to AIM which doesn't seem to be imposing these restrictions. Strange thou doesn't AOL own ICQ. It would appear that they are trying to phase out the company they bought and once again monoplize their product. If AOL has been enforcing this age limit on AIM I have seen no example of it.
You live in a highly disposable society. Objects are not built to last for the long term and are eary to replace than rebuild. Watch what happens with your dryer and see what it cost to replace a major part vs. a new dryer. The worst thing about this is we accept and condone it, even encourage it. In this day and age keeping up with the jones's isn't a quaint saying it's the battle cry of the corprate world. Based on the fact that if you don't your competition will eat you. If not them your stockholders who will "dispose" of their holdings if you don't perform to expectations. This day and age want tobe able to go on to the next without looking back, as an example look at the size of your average landfill. Most are at least the size of a football field if not larger. In some areas it takes up the most land in a city or town or other municiplality. This idea of not having any tangiable holdings such as software, music or even money(in this electronic age cash is becoming a non physical item) is going to continue until something dramatic happens. And that would have to be on the extreme end otherwise the effect will become worse. However there are to be positive results with this if it happens correctly(fat chance). They would include a less materalistic society you can't covet something if it is easily avalibile. Also a non-monetary based system(this is about as therotical as the study of quantum mathmatics but that helped find black holes.) If materials are easily avalibile their intrinsict value is reduced and in the electronic banking age and cash not backed by gold, cash as a comodity slowly starts to become unnesaccary. I am not saying what would replace cash this is a lot of theroy and many things could but it would have to get to this stage. If you don't like what you see don't participate in it. You don't have to lease a car you could by it, just don't take a loan out to do it. Same with the house. You could work a job that doesn't involve working on propritary software, but you might have to get your hands dirty and how much would it pay. Even then cashing your check usually invoves a charge if you don't have a bank account(sometimes even if you do.). Your not obligated to participate in it or even like it. Hell that's what the hippy movement of the sixties tried to do. Look at where the Chicago 7 are now.
I don't know who your teacher was but if that is What you were taught and you accepted it , you were sadly misinformed. Early man fought and killed other early man. Not only do archeligist acknowledge this, but so do behavioralist and anthroplogist. Early man had weapons they wern't guns but spears weren't just used for hunting. You can look at the behavior of primates and see killing even Extreme violence. American Indian Tribes were know to war even before the arrival of Europeans. I realize that this appears to be highly offtopic but you were moderated a 4 based upon incorrect statements.
You should have everyright to have this domain but a couple of noteable things here. 1. Mattel has to sue you to protect the trademark. They also have a chace of winning a good one. 2. This is a legal matter not a right vs. wrong matter, You need to get a lawyer promptly. 3.You should complete the construction of this website and what it was intended for. Redirecting it won't help much. Be prepared for the long ugly fight, Mattel will try to intimidate the company that hosts your webpage also. If decide not to hire a lawyer you better to be able to show them your judgement proof(you have no assests) and that you are prepared to spend all your spare time doing this because you have nothing better to do. I wish you luck and hope you win but realize that today in order to slay Goliath you don't do it with a sling, but the idea that your lawyer can beat up his lawyer.
I realize that it is not free which will of course cause most linux bible thumpers to scoff at even the idea. However it seems to be a very good version of office and runs pretty well.(provided you have the script update) You need to be able to impress boss with ease of use. This one works that way. And it is damn well cheaper than M$ office.

Make no bones about it I am a huge fan of AMD. It was I use in my computers. I however work with a lot of brokrage firms and have learned over the years that most analysts are idiots so are most of the ppl buying stock and the media helps perpetuate this. After the recent crash the smart money ppl were buying left and right and making a fortune within a couple of days but the analysts were on TV screaming and the news focused on nothing but. So when the idiot analyst speaks the stupid stockholder listens and the greedy broker makes his commision either way. Like I said as long as AMD doesn't keep repeating this they will be fine hell they will help me retire.

You should definetly hold onto it. I don't think AMD is going down . However analyst are shortsighted and and anal. They see one gray cloud and they scream sell and with the drop in tech stocks recently that is something AMD doesn't need. I also don't want to see sellouts become a repetative issue if they do then get out buit that is only a slim possibility and it is a long term issue. I myself would like to buy more.

Althou it seems wonderful on the surface that AMD are selling like hotcakes, and profits are better than expected. this has some strong negative conotations to stock market analyst. The same nagativity that hit Intel so hard. It means they can't keep up with the demand. And when companies like gateway and e machines arent getting the processors they need, they go to the competition and get them even if it means paying more. They can't afford delays on production due to vendors. Now I don't want to give a completly negitive idea about this, things like this are cool for analysts every once in a while but if keeps happening they will dis on the stock and tell holders to sell because their customers are so dissatisfied with the constant backordering.

Now now cmdrtaco let's deal with some reality here not the fanatsy world you live in. Althou your interest in the stock market could fill a shot glass the stock market affects you and what you do in this industry. The stock market is more than nasdaq and M$ and the new linux stocks. The market involves all the pieces parts that go into the very computer you are working on right down to the petrolum by product that makes the boards that all those chips, resistors and other gizmos get soldered to. And that can have a dramitic effect on price, supply and demand at it's finest. The program code for linux may be free but the parts for your motherboard are not. Not only that the perphials for linux aren't free either I belive that Corel office price will be about $199 dollars. Guess what it had better sell or Corel will have problems. And althou you may not pay attention to it a lot of people do their pay is directly affected by it. It is true that \ . is not a stock market news service, but to completly diss on it is just shows a true lack of judgement in the real world. \ . is under no obligation to report what it doesn't want to there are plenty of other web sites out there to inform ppl.

Wow intellegent responses to my post I am flattered, if you enjoy jennicam tht's great if you don't that's fine too. As I have heard if you don't like what's on you can always change the channel.
"this above all to thine own self be true" You ppl just don't get or want to admit it, jennicam had an impact on the web not just because your ocasionally got to see some chick nude but because you could watch everything even her eating breakfast. Thus idea that she is a money grubbing whore or anything else of that ilk is complete bull, she had an idea and was smart enough to implement it and get it to work for four years now. If you think she isn't the brightest indivdual either you need to realize she doesn't have to she just needed to be smart enough to fill out the deposit slip on her way to the bank. Jennicam works because it does the same thing a movie does gives you a chance to escape your dull deary life even if that means living vicoursoly in someone else's dull deary life. Jennicam doesn't have soap opera twist's to the extent of daytime TV. It has the same dullness that everyone else's life has the diffence is you get to watch and form an opinion based on the fact that you aren't directly involved, and you thought armchair quarterbacks were bad.

Okay So let me understand this two ppl who don't even live in this country just settled a case that mattel had virtually no chance of winning and agreed to remove their posting. So if I want to make some money all I have to do is post some negative feedback on a product that doesn't work properly and give the code that shows it. Damn why don't I just mirror their site and maybe Mattel will pay me a few grand to take it down. Now if I could just learn how to mirror a site.
I didn't authorize a vaction who the hell signed off on this did any of you? I want names heads will roll. He better be back in bright and early tomorrow, Damit I have deadlines. Now if you need to get a hold of me I'll be on the back nine taking care of my iron defiency.
I had a friend I knew way back when dos was a huge thing (dos1.0 -2.0) and there was a game on it called load runner my friend got into this game and learned how to change the parmeters of the game and do lots of neat things with it.

The course may seem ridiculos to some but if you look at it it is a way to help them learn in a fun way. Maybe the ideas they use for assignments in the class don't seem like much it's the technique of using those ideas that will help them in a career oriented enviroment.
