I know for a fact there is an ESD (electrostatic disapative) clear perspex available, but it's very expensive (I don't have exact figures). I use it in some test equipment at work. I'll look up a specification for it on Monday if anyone wants.
The eye has got to be using some kind of organic compression system, so that the information can be transmitted to the brain then rebuilt to give us the visual 'display' we currently have. If some bright spark worked out exactly how this happens we could probably see greatly increased frame rates in Quake 17. Oh, and artificial eyes would be cool too.

For me the scarey bit is why the blazes the US DoD wants the info. What is the connection between the surfing habits of schoolchildren and the defence of the nation? Are they going to check if any of the children are checking out those pesky 'nuclear bombs for dummies' sites that proliferate the web?
Sounds like the guy's had a hard time. He's been to prison paid his debt to society, good luck to him. Obviously it's nothing more than a guess, but I'd say he's (probably) not going to stick backdoors into his clients firewalls.

"Excite@Home says most cases have stopped short of pulling the plug, and that only one person has been terminated. "
I assume they mean that only one person's account has been terminated, or are we reaching new levels of justice?
