Safety Regulators’ advice to support decisions to be made impacting the design and progress of thesuccessor SSBN.Background2. In response to a request from the SRO, this advice has been prepared by Cdre Andrew McFarlane (theDefence Nuclear Safety Regulator - DNSR), with a ship safety contribution from Mr Gavin Rudgley (the NavalAuthority).

The aim is to set out the legal and policy framework within which the project must propose and theDepartment must in due course decide on the appropriate propulsion plant for the successor SSBN, andagainst which both the statutory and internal MOD regulators will review the safety of the acquisition, operationand support of the deterrent, to inform their permissioning of specific activities.

The most significant legislation is the Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA). Among the manyprovisions of the Act, two are fundamental. There is a duty on employers to ensure, so far as is reasonably practical, the safety of employees,and of others who may be affected by their undertaking. There is a duty on suppliers to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that equipment will besafe when it is being used. These provisions are underpinned by a large body of case law.

The IonisingRadiations Regulations set out the basis on which the radiation risk to employees must be reduced ALARP,and the Radiation Emergencies (Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations set out the basis on whichthe potential consequences from a radiation emergency are to be managed, in order to protect bothemployees and members of the public. 6.

There needs to be an "anti-patent" that you can file that says "I invented this first, but I choose not to patent it". Something that would be legally binding and prevent later patents from people who look for things and ideas without patents and then file the patents for themselves.
There is ---its called publication.
You publish without a patent, it becomes public knowledge without protection.
Again, see the Scientists of the early last century.
Ha ha ha, CMU frosh! You will now see academic wannabe-mathematician types in your first year!
Wee! I had Scheme and CLU and Multics. Guess what: every Ivory Tower CS prof is going to inflict their bias
and history on you. You will have to learn useful skills outside. Only occasionally will you recall utility
from the classes, and the utility will have been developed by 'commercial' languages because they actually
need it, its not just more Wordsmithing.
Remember: Academics get paid for wordsmithing and grant-grabbing, sometimes teaching; not building things.
Study and contemplate, but keep it in perspective. Just look at the abstract crap in the CMU screed.
Hi,
I once wrote a Win32 program that parsed audio streams for clicks, from a geiger-muller
counter, and logged them, graphed them, and made them available via HTTP.
See CDVCounter
It doesn't seem to work on Win7, but I've released it open source, so have at it.
A Java port seems most appropriate, since the Universe is written in Java.
The verb for removal of privacy is DOX. As in, I dox, you dox, Anonymous doxes.
Fortunately Scott although irritating us (like Scott of SUN with his "get over it"
comment about loss of privacy) has not truly earned the effort.
And Dilbert is adequate mitigation.
But, we're watching, and recording. Just not publishing.
Been using Unix since before Windows was pre-emptive. Learned Windows in '95 and learned IP admin same time. Then got into crypto for obvious reasons.
Recently 2011 using/learning Ubuntu/Debian since required for project (see below).. Also requires WinOS and JVM, but that's another matter.
Very nice, guys. I like proc and sys. Seen predecessors in BSD flavors, but this is nice. Love the apt-get advice. Much nicer than man -k.
Run under Sun's VM manager Box, very cool. Nice that all the *nix tools are there.
Developing for TI's DaVinci platform.
Thanks for keeping the dialect alive. Was much amused a few years ago when I had to deal with an Apple box and found it was *nix below.
And they had emacs! Score.
I'm working on 1080p 60, 1080i 60, video compression to h264 for a medical app. Using dm6467t-evm.
We use component in, component out. Superimpose med data on h264/mp4 output.
Hollyweird can do as they please, but don't fsck with our vid standards or vidcam output.
I have a CRT at home.

Vi or Emacs? Or wordperfect?
Of course any state or mafia-sized entity can afford the real-time decoders. Have you not been paying attention?

The border patrol stops cars within 100 miles of the North and South borders, claiming authority. Will they be able to inspect bits too?

Look up Roentgen and the Curies. They didn't patent for the explicit good of mankind. There used to be this tradition, this culture...
