Exactly how is it that this fancy jacket or undershirt is going to help me? I'm hot, but not so much that I can't make it through\nthe 20 minutes in there. When I come out, I am handed a 20oz bottle of water and expected to finish it on the spot while having my pulse and respiration checked before even considering going back in.
This jacket would supposedly protect me from flashover -- several thousand degrees where anything that can combust, will.
BULLSHIT.
Even if the jacket worked, my face mask would melt to my face while the straps on my airpack along with the protective clothing I'm wearing would literally disintegrate. [End Quote]
While I agree that this is bullshit, what they are actually referring to is as a precaution against steam burns as well as a way to keep core temperature down during smells and bells calls. Unfortunately once you enter a heated environment the tubing will melt, ruin your bunker gear (can you say expensive) and the water that leaks out will boil you alive like this
potato. Btw what state is 339? New Jersey 161 here.
Hmmm... It looks like I failed to state this in a way that would do anything but attract answers from jokers (Karnal , GMD, and HotNeedleOfInquiry exempted). Let me try this again by qualifying my statements. *My new job is not something I am not taking lightly, I strongly respect my new bosses/co-workers and I plan on being there for the long haul. *Because of this all of my extracurricular activities will be exactly that - done off the clock and in such a way that it does not interfere with any job related processes.
>> I would strongly recommend waiting until you have >>become a respected and valued employee before you pull >>stunts like using work equipment for non-work projects.
On this I agree whole-heartedly. I am just using this forum as a sort of brainstorming network for projects that I can look forward to eventually. Preferably those like what can be found in the "Bench Tested Circuits" series rather than "hey jeeter, lookit what i can do!" as well as other not-so electronics based projects - ceramics again (like making a nice graphite crucible for a gingery furnace), filters for optics geekery, or tiny reciever/trasmitter projects. If you have any suggestions of this sort great, if you have anything more imaginative even better.
Oh and regarding obtaining permission, I have tacit approval already (as long as it's not illegal, excessively dangerous, or would be distruptive to tommorow's workflow) but I want to be able to give strong cogent reasons why allowing me to use their equipment is a good-thing(tm).
For those who rise to the challenge, I thank you in advance and will post updates of selected projects both here and Hack-A-Day.
I don't know how other cat's work, but my buddy Gizmo certainly hates the smell of oranges. Lemons, limes, and other citrus fruits don't seem to have the same effect, but certainly anytime i peel an orange he will be intrigued by the bright colour only untill he smells it. Usually we find him sneezing on the couch indignantly.
and the first one given away goes a little like this...
Two all beef patties,lettuce, pickles, onions, cheese, special... oh *BEEP* this! i'm Don LaFontaine i can get better gigs than this!!
oh great! just what we need is for this guy to *actually* finish this and have George Lucas use ILM & Skywalker Studios include a "Special Delux Uber-Platinum Edition" with "THX-MIDI" and "Colour ASCII". *sigh* Knowing the madness of King George, he really will do this. Hopefully he'll have the good sense to show Jar-Jar being ripped to pixels by Chewy.

I could help them out, seeing as my room probably contains 300 or more here-to-unknown (or recently evolved) species alone (and i'm pretty sure i'm not the only slashdotter in this situation.
Cool, I can't wait to showup with a wireless sniffer, signal amp, and have fun running amok! First things first, those "small world" sickos had better learn to run... and fast!

if it's in the basement you can always call it: Moria The Ninth Circle
(with individual servers named Faust, Mephisto, Lucifer, Phil, ect...ect...)
If it's a small room, you can just stick a british "Police" sign on the outside (ala Dr. Who).
if you are running really big iron, place a "Welcome to Urbana Illinios" sign on the door. (birth place of H.A.L., S.A.L., et al.)
but if you have a DC fetish (come on we can smell our own here, it's Slashdot) you can choose from christening it the "Fortress of Solitude", "Bat Cave", "OA", or "S.T.A.R. Labs"
BTW someone sugested "the Brothel" LOL, wouldn't be so sure that the suits wouold be happy to roll along with that one.
God i believe even NASA got in on the R&D for this years ago. That said, i'll be glad when this actually gets into the market place, though i am concerned about a few saftey and energy concervation issues.
Goldsmith, This is the Dark Lord Of Mordor!!! get back to making more of these: http://www.badalijewelry.com/tolkienmain.h tm With these mass produced I can finnaly take over the world!
Sauron's Buisness Plan 1. mass produce the "One True Ring" 2. ??? 3. Profit!!! ( oh yeah... "And in the Darkness bind them!")
