Straiten and bend paperclip in to a U shape, prongs about 1 inch apart.
Insert quickly into a standard 120/240v power socket. If the paperclip sparks and the lights and the lights/other devices go out, your mains circuit breaker is working.
If the paperclip sparks continuously, vaporizes, or you die, the mains breaker is probably not working so well.

I'm sick of calling Dell, etc. and getting an "engrish is my 3rd language" call center representative. If they way to increase the cost of outsourcing, thereby decreasing feasibility, works for me.
I never thought of this from a manufacturing standpoint, and that is very interesting. Re-tooling and redesigning all the core components is expensive, this is basically "off the shelf".
I think you're very corrent in finding a cheap/less-CO2 producing fuel though... I've seen quite a shift to propane in Canada, I wish this would be more popular in the US. It seems a decent interim fuel as almost all cars can run on it, and they burn cleaner and last longer.
I like the fact that it uses a standard(ish) internal combustion engine. Most of the work seems to be focused on fuel-cell/electric vehicles. While eleectric is probably the eventual future, I think dual-fuel systems like this would be a very good transition.
Not to mention i rather like my rough loud piston engine... sometimes. Granted, I will be weined off and eventually learn to like the quiet boring (but REALLY high torque) electric motor.
It was weird enought driving the company hybrid with CVT transmission, no shift points and odd engine RPM sequences makes driving less-than-intuitive. I find myself having to look at the speedometer far more with that than any other car.
But don't expect to see one of these systems used by your local physician anytime soon. This VRI system will carry a price tag of over $40K."
At $40,000 it may not be around every doctor's neck, but geez just the exam table I sit on and the scale they make me stand on totals a staggering amount. I can't imagine something in the tens of thousands being cost prohibative to the medical field.

Oh, yes.. people would flock in to see the 'Bill Gates Ass Shift'
The way it actually looks, why not just use MAC addresses?
IIRC, it does. I thought it appended the MAC address to the first part of the IP, and the second part is assigned(statically?) by the DHCP(?) server.

Are they expecting the thing to flameout?
Concealed carry is not legal, but OPEN CARRY is perfectly legal.
Umm... 9600kbps?
So they had modems that would do 9.6mbps? WOW, wonder why mine wont't do that now! Er. wait..
the backbone was 56kbps.. so that's 56,000 bps.. and you could get a Fast 9600 bps for home use...
The mains circuit breaker tester

so the first paragraph of the EULA:

SO, if the estimated impact is 26,000 hirosima bombs....
1 LoC is 280 million 200 page volumes
2 lbs paper average per volume
13,000 BTU per volume
3,640,000,000,000 BTU per LoC
1 hiroshima bomb(15Kton, 1 ton of TNT is 3,968,321 BTUs.) = 59,524,815,000 BTUs
So 26,000 Hb (59,524,815,000 x 26 ) / LoC (3,640,000,000,000) = 425.17725 LoC
But will the phraselator work as a Shizzelator!!

Its seems that a directional magnetic field may be immaterial
