  10. Re:isn't it possible to detect on Thieves Who Stole Cobalt-60 Will Soon Be Dead · · Score: 1

    Volatile is a term used to described substances that evaporate quickly at normal temperatures. Cobalt is a metal that melts at 1500 C, so it is not volatile at all unless you compare it to Tungsten..... Radionuclides with a short half life generally are more active as far as emissions go. From what I read, the thieves removed the Cobalt pellets from the device, so they at least were in close proximity to it. How fast they die / if they die depends on the level of contact as well as how old the Cobalt is.

  15. Re:Legal in your country. on Ask Slashdot: Can I Cross US Borders With Legally Ripped Media? · · Score: 1

    I would refer you to California Health & Safety Code 11550, part of which reads:

    11550. (a) No person shall use, or be under the influence of any
    controlled substance which is (1) specified in subdivision (b), (c),
    or (e), or paragraph (1) of subdivision (f) of Section 11054,
    specified in paragraph (14), (15), (21), (22), or (23) of subdivision
    (d) of Section 11054, specified in subdivision (b) or (c) of Section
    11055, or specified in paragraph (1) or (2) of subdivision (d) or in
    paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 11055, or (2) a narcotic
    drug classified in Schedule III, IV, or V, except when administered
    by or under the direction of a person licensed by the state to
    dispense, prescribe, or administer controlled substances.

    I know someone personally that was arrested for violating 11550a, they were a passenger in a car that crashed, someone else had drugs in their possession, of course that person was also arrested, but for possession.

  23. Re:three words, one hyphen: on Why Can't Industry Design an Affordable Hearing Aid? · · Score: 1

    $900,000 in compliance costs for what ? Certainly not a standard hearing aid. I worked at a X-Ray device refurbisher for a dozen years, X-Ray devices are Class II. We had to furnish the FDA with a written description of our "Good Manufacturing Practices" (Copy of our ISO procedures) and submit yearly leakage reports (X-Rays that are not contained by the inner lead shielding). They sent a guy out once, he stayed and observed for two days and said thanks, good job, see ya........ Standard (Air Conduction) Hearing Aids are Class I and are nowhere nearly as regulated as anything that emits X-Rays. When you into implants, it gets complicated.

  24. Re:Will you ever lose your job and need health car on US Presidential Debate #2 Tonight: Discuss Here · · Score: 1

    It is expensive because it is essentially guaranteed coverage. The company I worked for (50 employees) from 1998 to 2010 tried to set a cap at $10,000 per employee per year. At first, it was no problem even with a low deductible policy, by 2007, they had to go to a $5000 deductible and by 2010 they raised the cap to $12,000 per year and kept the 5000/10000 deductible. My wife is on guaranteed coverage now because she has Mild Gastritis, treatable with OTC medicines and a slightly painful shoulder, possibly from a lousy Rotator Cuff repair, that needs cortisone shots 3 or 4 times a year at approximately $200 per visit. "Normal" ins for her is around $400/mo. and guaranteed coverage is almost $900. Except for the year of the surgery, she has never met the deductible but still, is deemed unsuitable for "normal" coverage.
