But then again, you have never seen pure aluminum...well, 99% of the population has never seen pure aluminum, it oxidies instantly. There are some methods for observation, but it's mostly not worth it, besides, pure aluminum looks mostly just like aluminum oxide.
This is a really great idea, but it will probably never work, a mailing list will bring way to many points of view.
Really what a project like this needs is the developer to shut out the open source community, until the project is done. If linus had made a large project out of the original kernel, I seriously doubt if it would have ever been completed. This should be kept simple, and then open sourced, only once there is a good code base to build from.
Umm...if the radiation therapy machine crashes, someone could die... Ever have your computer crash, and have your sound card remain on with a steady tone, or similar behavior? Now imagine the same thing happening while shooting radiation into a patient.
Another example, is the IV pumps, most of these run windows2k, But, I've worked on a couple that run CE a small problem here, can do one of multiple things...increase drug flow, decrease drug flow, or stop drug flow, none of these are good...oh we gave him 7 days worth of morphine in 7 minutes...
Most of these problems would be noticed before some one dies...but it could happen, especially with the health care system becoming even tighter budgeted.
The Volvo is that they put on the top of the list is really nice, but you really have to wonder about it, it seems like they went about it the wrong way, lacing glass and metal, insted of making stronger glass, what they really need I guess is transparant aluminum.
First 10 digit dialing, now this? Seems we could base somthing off of just the number its self, although that seems to be the way the idea is going.
It looks like were getting ever closer to the point where I have to enter a username and password to make a phone call. Seriously folks, the phone is the simplest computer interface in the world, don't ruin it. I don't want email on my phone, and caller id on my tv, I want tv on my tv and other people on my phone!
Sounds like fun, they have a diversity problem they want you to solve. Its amazing that this day in age we are still this worried about diversity, they probably got threatened by their network and/or the fcc. Anyways, I'm still going to apply, it's a good oppertunity.
While I can't speak on behalf of slashdot, I can speak in my own experiance with observers.net RMS himself, as well as Brad asked us to make modifications to a PUBLISHED story before they would make an offical comment on it... the end result: We made the changes, and they still declined to make a statement. They are extreamly pushy, and dificult to work with, one of the reasons were still dealing with the AOL/GPL violation issues, insted of having it well behind us...
This is a copy of my review of comdex from Tech.Observers.Net Thought it might be of use to some of you.
Spring Comdex was great this year, while the overall show was slightly smaller than years past, GNU-Linux made a great appearance. With a new release by Agenda Computing of their Linux PDA As well as a booth by the Free Software Foundation Net BSD also made an appearance, with a rather informative booth. Caldera was putting on linux user classes.
Biometrics and security were hot topics with finger print scanners, retina scanners, and voice print authentifacation were being displayed. Aladdin displayed their eTokens. Firewalls were in the mass, with 7 distributers bringing products.
Among other tech interests were the Koolance systems. They had several displays of liquid cooling, including one system running submerged in some type of a liquid. X-Gaming also displayed lcd shuttter glasses which made a computer image appear 3dimenisonal.
GNUtella is a good protocall, has potental, but as a open nap guy, I see a lot more going on there, as the connection protocals, are much more stable. And although the best efforts have been shown in the decss case (looking over at my cease-and-desist letter) source code is still gonna be out there despite laws, it's free speach, and since open nap is open source, it'l be there, and servers will be there, at last count there were over 1000 open nap servers...if the RIAA is ready to file that many law suits, then it'l be a busy year..

Currently 15:1 in favor of cracking within the year, odds are slightly more in tivo's favor for the short term.
This is really great, I can see my self standing in line for hours at an amusment park, and afterwords being able to buy advertising featuring me.
Besides the really vain, what use is there for this type of technology, it's kind of a "wow thats cool, now what" type thing.
Did you really just ask someone with a 4 digit UID if they were new here?
You must be new here.

What wrench in the way, your state EAS plan has to specify the PEP stations...
Doesn't really work that well, rotation is detected many times when there is no tornado, but we call it a mesoscale discussion.
