I worked on a team that developed a medical claims processing system. We built all the compliance requirements right into the system. It was a pain, for the UI developers in particular, but worth it. The idea was for the app to lead the human element away from things they should not do and do the things they should for them. We used strictly configured systems that did not permit, or made very dificult, non-complient use. It just seemed easier to not give them the option of not following the rules.
Remeber what it was like to be a kid. Building stuff is fun!
One sure way to know if it works - try it.
I built one yesterday evening, after reading Slashdot, using plans I found free on the web.
I bought a sheet magnifier at Staples for $5.50 and spent about one hour with duct tape, a swiss army knife, two medium u-haul boxes and a 19" color television. I used a mirror to project it onto the ceiling and correct the image backwardness.
It does not work great, but it does work - and it was a fun excercise.
I think I'll watch Enterprise on the ceiling tonight!
When I first read the press release on this chip, I thought, "Mobile, hell -- wait till those guys at Kryotech get thier hands on one."
The real barrier to speed is how to keep the IC from turning to slag. If it's cooler to start with, make it run as hot as an Intel, and see how fast it'll go.

What fun is there in building a car when the brick is already shaped like a car.
Mindstorm expansion sets suffered this problem with tie-ins, too.
It'll be a shame to see the RIS discontinued, though.

CD Japan for all your R2 needs (and in English, too).
