Emulsion coating technology. Kodak was good at making media coated with chemicals. This tech is used in blood analyzing machines. Old tech had blood samples going through tubes, mixed with reagents then analyzed optically. Newer tech puts sample onto reagent coated film.
A bigger loss from the patent wars was Kodak's instant TRANSPARENCY film. I still have a sample. This was at the height of corporate multi-projector AV shows, digital projectors were not common nor good enough quality. Having a slide in hand in 5 minutes rather than the 45 it took for E-6 processing would have had a major impact on the industry.
put one pin on a random lane in a bowling alley. Blindfold yourself at the entrance to the alley, then walk to the lane and bowl the pin down. It's kinda like that, only the pin is also moving at 7,000 mph
Here is her story, with the broadcast from 31 years ago. Jerry Pournelle proposed to Reagan how we should prepare for these things. quote "In 1967 I proposed to Reagan that California create an oil spill recovery service, something like a fire department, to be financed by separation taxes from the oil industry. I later proposed it as a National Service, possibly a branch of the Coast Guard or Civil Defense. It would have a corps of professionals whose job was to learn all that was known about oil spill containment and cleanup, and others who would do research into what we don't but ought to know: what chemical detergents will aid in dispersing the oil with the least damage to the environment? ......The main lesson of the BP runaway gusher is that we must rebuild the Civil Defense organization. There are predictable potential disasters in every region, and it is clear that FEMA in particular and Washington in general is not competent to handle them. Yes, the oil disaster is a national disaster and would be were it in California or in the Gulf; but the organization of the resources of the region needs to be done in advance, and with local chains of communication and command. Yes, there needs to be research and development done before the disasters, but again, those who live in the areas will have thought more about it then someone in the old NASA building in Washington. FEMA is a disaster waiting to happen. Make that, FEMA is a disaster that has happened, is happening, and is waiting to happen again. We will always be disappointed in FEMA."
Maybe $30/hour, with a $5 minimum charge. Have a program display an ELUA before they can access it, and a running total of the fee. If they complain you can point out you're in a room that they are paying to access (school) so what's the difference? If they have borrowed it before, have they ever bought you a "thank you" coffee/doughnut etc for the favor?
Linkagogo.com Its free, but has some paid features. One of them is that once a week it will email you your bookmarks file. So even if the service disapears, the most you will lose is a weeks worth of bookmarks. It handles every format for import and export. Hierarchical categories, aliases, tags, public and private settings on a per folder/bookmark basis, an open API and demo java client, etc, etc.
Your local High School or college film/media/art department would love to have access to your render farm. Some programs which can take advantage of it include Blender, Art of Illusion, Hash, Bryce, Carrara etc
If you are going to donate a brain, there are recommended packing instructions. And don't risk using UPS, since Sterling Courier Systems is the pathologist's preferred shipper.
That said, during the day it would be nice for the teachers if chat,im,myspace,facebook could be disabled cause many kids will be distracted during class by that.
Simply give every teacher a printed copy of the details of Julie Amero's case, and mention if a competent full time person is not on staff, this could happen to them. Suggest that they may want to voice their concerns to the school board.
That was probably Thinsoftinc.com and their Buddy system. I have their Betwin drivers, and in 9 classrooms I turned 1 system into 4 stations, saved the school about $16,000, and didn't have to worry about blowing the circuit breakers.
Are you thinking on how to secure those little boxen? Cause if it's not secured in a steel cage (datamation) it's gonna walk. What I've done at my school was use Betwin to have one tower serve 4 stations. That is, one tower, and 4 monitor/keyboard/mouse. Most students don't realize that they're sharing one computer, and it's fun watching outside techs try to figure out what's going on.

wow... tech pan gone? that was the best for making slides from negs...

This has been discussed on the a-rocket list http://exrocketry.net/mailman/listinfo/arocket
There are active members who are employees of several space companies.
http://www.hobbyspace.com/ is probably the best collection of resources about space, get to know the companies and people.
read "The Rocket Company" http://www.hobbyspace.com/AAdmin/archive/SpecialTopics/RocketCom/titlePage.html
This was tried in 2004 http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/13/demaray.php
TFA goes into detail on the reasons and shows actual experiments with prototypes.

That why I like linkagogo.com because every week i get my bookmarks automatically emailed to me

it's worked out nicely for me, it was usable by some very clueless people

You should read about what happened to 13 Kurtztown students who faced felony charges for their violations of the district usage policy.

What's the difference between a computer salesman and a used car salesman?
The used car salesman knows when he is lying.
