If I develop or invent something during my spare time, it still belongs to the company. It depends on the agreement you signed when you began your employment.
The most common form of EDAC (Error Detection and Correction) is SECDED (single bit error correction double bit error detection). SuperEDAC (with double bit correction) also is becoming mainstream now that memory density is going up. I believe both implementations use an extra 8 bits for every 32-bit word.
Actually each SSMEC has 4 68000s, 2 channels w/ each channel configured in a self-checking pair configuration. NASA is about to complete an upgrade to the SSME, called AHM (Advanced Health Management) which adds 4 TI C40 DSPs to each SSMEC, so now each SSMEC has 8 processors.
NASA has plenty of systems like this, though this is the first I have heard that is loaded onboard.
They have similar programs for the Space Shuttle main engines that run on the ground. They were going to run them in the loop on the shuttle with a new box in the payload bay, but they decided against it. The box was going to have the capability to change certain engine parameters, but they figured it was too costly.
In fact Kerry plans to send more troops to Iraq if the military commanders request more, and his main plan is to convince NATO of its responsibility to send soldiers to Iraq to make the troop contingent a more internationaly led force.
There is no mention of bringing pulling US troops out of Iraq at all.
Fine, but my point was that there will very little, if any, of the billions of dollars currently being allocated to Iraq to fund Kerry's campaign promises.
And in reply to others, please tell me where Kerry plans to cut-back spending? In defense? His campaign has not said so. They have said that they won't support the development of new nuclear weapons, and that they don't support the deployment of missile defense, but they have not said they will cut back defense spending. They will just move those dollars to other defense projects.
Bottom line in this article, Bush did not make any false promises. John Kerry blatanly pledges money to each and every cause, without offering any method to get that money, except for raising taxes.

Maybe if that were Kerry's plan, but as we all know Kerry has no plan for Iraq. He nor his campaign have ever once mentioned pulling out of Iraq.

In answer to just about every single question, Kerry pledges to do more, fund more, oversee more, and spend more.
Sure, that is all well and good, but if he is actually elected he will realize that it will surely be impossible to do all that he has pledged, even with all the increases in Taxes that he has planned.
I saw Bush's answers as much more definative and realistic.
I believe you are correct. I currently work on the shuttle main engine controller and know people at Rocketdyne that were involved in testing the Linear Aerospike Engine. There were 12 successful tests at Stennis and no real failures (compare these results to the original shuttle engine tests, those things blew up like firecrackers all the time).
It's just more complicated to hack your car, because the engine control is much more complex.
It is still definately possible.
There are many options to replace or piggyback your existing car's digital control module. They are complicated, and they aren't cheap, but there are quite a few options out there (Link, Motec, Tec II to name a few).
So, you can't just throw an ignition advancer on, or change the pilot jet of your carburator, but you can remap your fuel to air mixture curve or create a psuedo expert system that knows when your ignition timing should be advanced or retarded.
Hacking your car is so much better now, because there are more variables to control, more things to study, and probably more risks (and gains) involved that it makes the hack more worthwhile.
The problem will definately not be finding a job. The problem will be obtaining a work permit.
I am an American IT guy (mostly embedded systems though) and I just returned from spending a year overseas. I must have interviewed with more than 30 companies in Barcelona, Spain (where I decided I would like to live). I only got rejected once (I asked for too much money), the other times the company couldn't afford, didn't want to go through the hassle of a work permit. I did however have a couple of companies submit the work permit application (around April/June/July timeframe) and the government has not given them any response yet.
Now, I hear Germany is completely desperate for IT people, and it's a nice place (a little boring compared to Spain) so you could check that out. Figure once you actually land a job about 8-10 months to obtain a work permit after that (in most EU countries, anyway). If some ppl think I'm wrong and have EXPERIENCED something different please tell me because I would desperately like to know the best way of going about obtaining an EU work permit.
I'm an american living in Barcelona. I don't know if I'd recommend it (or anyplace in Spain). Sure there are a lot of job openings in IT and programming, but no new tech is being produced here. Also, it's proven damn hard to get a work permit.
However, it's definately do-able and spanish and catalan aren't hard to learn.
Stockholm is great but the Taxes are through the freakin roof!
I would choose Berlin probably, though it's damn cold. Or somewhere in Malaysia.
The main reason everyone should have to go to college is because I HAD TO! Actually, some of the background knowledge is quite useful. You can network, and build up a group of people you can ask questions of later on (like old professors). It's also a real self confidence booster when you recieve your diploma.

Pure Honeywell. They yield fairly well nowadays.

Do you have a source?
Off topic:
The US has never maintained a balanced budget or budget surplus during a time of war.
While the budget is record-breaking in dollar amount, it is still under 2.9% GDP.
Reagan asserted that budget deficits don't harm the economy. Clinton proved it.

No,

Definately PanterA and other hard stuff, like Ministry and Rammstein (not sure thats spelt wright)
