You can buy all sorts of red cross branded merchandise: http://www.redcrossshop.org/ Flashlights, shirts, disaster kits - and the prices are reasonable, especially for the first aid kits.
My guess is the court thinks a reasonable person (your average man-on-the-street-tard) could be confused about whether a first aid kit with a red cross on it is a ARC or a J&J product, and J&J wants to branch out in to prefab fist aid kits or something.
However, since this is YRO, I have to judge on the side of the ARC and demand J&J replace their logo and rename their company "Evil Murderers of Kittens and Puppies in Cahoots with the RIAA Inc"
> And as TFA pointed out you will embolize if you hold your breath above that more or less 80,000 ft altitude.
Correction, you can embolize in only a few feet of water, which is a fraction of 1 atmospheric pressure, so, just in case you know in advance that your pressurized aircraft is going to explode, don't hold your breath, regardless of the altitude!
Basically it's aversion training. Most of these guys come over time and time again, so by making them puke violently each time they cross the border, you train them to stay in their own country.
I don't think it will work, between the tequila and "Montezuma's Revenge", a lot more Americans have probably been incapacitated in Mexico than vice versa, and it hasn't really prevented us from going down there.
A long time ago I took a pressure chamber ride at NASA to 27,000 ft. I lasted about 15 sec until uselessness (the crew master didn't let us go all the way to LOC), and 27,000 is not a particularly extreme altitude. Generally, 50,000 ft is considered the altitude at which the partial pressure of oxygen is no longer adequate to maintain consciousness. You can survive up to about 80,000 if you "pressure breathe", i.e have a rig that forces oxygen into your lungs at a lightly higher pressure than ambient, but not enough to bust your lungs.

Wikipedia is perfectly welcome to sap and impurify my bodily fluids, although there are probably other web sites that are much more likely to actually do so.
If your Mobo is only 5 yrs old, it can probably boot from USB.
Or buy a PATA drive now and use it later, they only cost 20% more than a SATA drive. I just upgraded my way-too-small PATA drive to a 250 MB one, for less than $130.
Not to give a smart-ass answer, but maybe your fanless system does heat up your disk and cause it to fail sooner than it has to. You can run a larger, 12 volt fan at 5V, and it is pretty quiet.
In other words, that is why Linux isn't as successful on the desktop as it should be. Tech support consists of 10,000 fanboys, each shilling for their own distro. Makes any IT manager run want to run screaming out of the room. Why bother, when one can write one check to GatesCo and be done with it?
Aw shucks, you probably just feel safe because it's modeled after the "Ring of Steel". I'll bet you wouldn't feel so safe if it were modeled after the "Ring of Bunnies".
Let's see - $1.1 million divided by 350 million gallons = 0.3 cents per gallon. You can be assured that whatever dimwitted scheme a bunch of ambulance chasing consumer advocate lawyers can think up to supposed save the consumer from paying an extra 0.3 cents per gallon to The Man will cost far more to implement than 0.3 cents per gallon.
Never mind that there are consumers who live in cold climates who get their gas delivered at less than 60 deg - whoo hoo they owe The Man big time!
My guess is that this is already not legal with respect to the ADA. Quoting from http://www.abanet.org/buslaw/blt/2006-01-02/caputo .html about pre-employment testing and the ADA:
"Congress enacted three specific provisions limiting the ability of employers from using "medical examinations and inquiries" as a condition of employment. First, an employer cannot use medical examinations as pre-employment tests or before an offer of employment is made. Second, an employer cannot use medical tests that lack job-relatedness. Third, an employer cannot use medical tests that screen out or have the tendency to screen out people with disabilities. Under the ADA, the total prohibition against medical examinations is lifted once a conditional offer of employment is made. At that point, a medical test can be given provided that it is given to all similarly situated persons, the results are kept confidential, and the test is administered in accordance with the ADA."
So unless the job requires that you wear a slave collar (not too many jobs nowadays, unless you count Blackberries), I don't see how having an implanted RFID chip woudl be essential your job when there are alternatives, like badges worn around your neck.
I have a match.com account from more than 10 years ago when I was single, back when they offered free service. That email address (which is no longer valid) is still "claimed".
Wish I remembered the password, apparently the free account is still active, and can be sold to slackers on EBay for $$. Since the email is no longer valid (the domain name is long gone) I can't reset the password.

Damn, I blew the punch line. There obviously is a bug in Firefox that selectively deletes words from the text box the "Submit" button is pressed.
See what I mean!?
Just hit 'em with a hammer!
SAFETY WARNING: Don't hit bullets with hammers!!
SECOND SAFETY WARNING: Because hitting a bullet with a hammer can cause it to explode!!
THIRD SAFETY WARNING: A bullet moves very fast and can kill or injure anything in its path!!!
FOURTH SAFETY WARNING: YOU COULD EVEN YOUR EYE OUT DOING THIS!

I think that was an editorial remark from someone who doesn't know how much stuff costs. MRI machines cost MILLIONS of dollars.
I think the idea is that this device is supposed to be CHEAPER than MRI or CT scanning.

So if the acronum YMMV ever applies, it's here.
Google for that and see what you get.
What's obvious to me is that the smell of even trace amounts of toner in the air can attract lawyers.
Crap, now everyone is going to put that knowledge to use by putting laser printers at the bottom of deep holes lined with pungee sticks.

Netflix is hosted elsewhere. Their outage was not related to the power problem.

And this is somehow a newly discovered hitherto unknown class of exploit?
People have been 'sploiting this kind of thing for years as far as I know.
Not that there's any thing wrong with that! (Except that maybe there is a kit now for diddling the danglers.)
He wants JUST a Cell Phone. They have stuff other than phones at ALL the Cell Phone Stores around here, the greedy corporate bastards.
This is a whole new paradigm! Web 2.1 is so Web 1.0, nobody does QA nowadays.

It's just that by 2002 only about 100 people were engaged in it.
Punctuated equilibrium, and all that. Current Web-2.0-sters are all descendants of these survivors of that dot-com-Chicxulub.

That is like da bomb! If a disk fails you will have 10 minutes to rebuild the array before another disk fails. It's exciting!
