Ernest Lawrence, inventor of the cyclotron, used accelerators in the treatment of a relative's cancer way back in the day. it would have been protons then, also. they had found out that bombarding aluminum or beryllium produced tons 'o' neutrons, but also knew that particle was to be seriously respected, as it wasn't pulled into anything to crash because of its neutrality.

everything else Heathkit I built, a dozen of them from three amplifiers to a touch light control to the ET3401 microprocessor trainer in 1976, worked until I sold it or set it on the shelf. came back to my AA-14, which I had sold my sister and was in mom's paint closet for 25 years untouched, and it worked right off.

the skills I learned reading the "how it works" sections as I went, along with a bunch of Lancaster "cookbook" stuff and eventually designing and building my own digital test equipment, allowed me to get 'er up despite a bunch of mouse excretia, exploded goo from tantalum capacitors and a few electrolytics, without a manual or schematics.
I like heathkits. once I get my Signal One CX7A rehabbed and get back in hamming, I'd like to get an SB10x with the full S-line of accessories, crank 'em back up.
I'd like to see REAL heathkits come back. they always had Zenith TVs, Conn or Vox organs, at one point a PDP-12 desktop, that they broke down so Joe Wannabe could get assembled and working. they started with airplane kits, as in two-seater prop job, FAA certified. that was little cut wood parts, steel cable, and a crate with an engine in it.

the reason I'm a tech and I get trusted with a multi-billion dollar comms network goes back to growing up a TV brat, and learning to do it myself with heathkits.
for once, I'm with the free-market folks. for instance, there are a lot of maintenance replacement things where the filament lag and current characteristics of a lamp bulb are absolutely required for operation of a device. it's not just the classic HP sinewave oscillator.
CFLs are just not workable in very below zero temps, like where I grew up in North Dakota. not until they fire right now at 40 below.
your classic old 200 watt light bulb in series with the electric thingie you're repairing is one classic we'll lose, leading to a lot more exploding line cords when folks try to fix old historic stuff.
seems the weasels at Circus City didn't want the folks who could answer questions and fit you with the right product, they wanted quick, cheap, and expendable.
so Circus City also became expendable. Haven't gone there, don't intend to go there, the weasels are crowbarring the last loose dollars for their pockets before it goes under.
just ship it to this address in New York, and I'll pick it up. I'll pay cash."
that's why it will never be licensed for sale, lease, or test in the US. not big enough to stay put, not costly enough for the feds to be all over it ten times a week.

fsck 'em. they chose the court, they can play by the home rules.
today's top planes actually have their mobility and speed limited so the pilots don't go dishrag and crash 'em. that despite pressure suits, oxygen, and the rest.
so I would think DVT in the legs would be the least of a passenger's worries on a NorDelTinental non-stop flight from LA to New York in 2 hours on a Scramjet plane. today's commercial jets fly sub-Mach, but not that sub.
they have no growth without a major dump of their installed base. and they did a major dump on their OS to make it too base to install.
Arnold Toynbee wins again.. societies (and large megacorporations) die from within, not from without.
if SP1 doesn't make Vista more XP-ish, they'd better have something quick and dirty up their sleeve, like MicroWindowsFlash2100+, with the footprint of 3.1 and the speed of DOS 6.2.1
that means that if the approved curriculum is dreamweaver, DOS 2.3.1, and punch cards, that's what you have to teach. or your on-task score at contract renewal time is ZERO.

we already have a documented case of one of THEM around the bend and threatening somebody else. no cases known among JPL, where the equipment works better than bid.
the Internet is just another tool, like the athletic shoe, the water bottle, the jet airplane, the hanging chads in Florida, etc etc. at some point, wacko bin loonies found that out.
since Congress can't tell the difference, it appears the terrorists have won based on superior intellect.

the good news is, you can use all your write-only memory for this.
the bad news is, the major collection of write-only memory is the human brain. test takers of the world, am I right or what?
