Here's a PDF with some info on their different instruments. The first half of the document is GPS theory, the rest is the different instruments.
From the pictures, a couple of them look to be rack-mountable.
I was on a submarine, and we had these PC-tablets for some testing. They were made to replace the standard log-books that the Quartermasters used for the ships logs.
I can't remember the manufacturer, but, there was a monochrome LCD, which attached to a small laptop like computer.
There was a pen-like stylus which you could use on the screen to select and highlight items. Finger pressure didn't make it work.
The screen swiveled and latched to make it look like it was a 'tablet' PC, BUT, you could re-orientate it, because there was a keyboard underneath.
We had custom software developed by Johns Hopkins(Pretty sure it was them). It ran Microsoft Windows for Pen computing.
The software we had was basically a break down of ships functions. You selected the items as necessary, and then it produced a 'log-book' entry, dated/timed, and stored it on a removable hard disk-drive that was classified, and I 'think' was also soft-encrypted. By 'soft', I mean we didn't have to load our actual crypto tapes into it daily. It was some sort of hardware encryption.
At the end of patrol, these disk drives would be sent in with the rest of the logs.
It was a very robust system, we had crashes, and goof-ups, but somehow, we never lost a log entry. If it died, we were told to put in one of the other disks, and that all the data was recoverable. And much to our astonishment, it was.
We were using these back in 1995-6, and I'm not in anymore, so I can't give better details than this.
OH YES, I did forget. The Microsoft Windows for Pen computing had Solitaire included, so you could look like you were standing an alert watch, but really be screwing off!
You say: "Which means no censorship, no entry taxes, no one booting you off the network, and no weak point which can break the whole system."
Then at the end you state: "In particular, if you try to share snuff or child pornography, I will be able to work out you IP and from that your location and identity. And I will report you to the police."
So, which is it? P2P with no censorship, no booting, or P2P With censorship and booting?
Now, someone tell me how I can get our IT department to replace about 2,500 Windows workstations with Mac's, along with all the associated software, using a budget that's been down-sized along with everything else in the last year.
I started to read this, because I thought the article was about the software that UPS the shipping company gives large customers to allow entry directly into their systems. Not some lame battery pack.

"Going by the logic of those cops, the university can confiscate basically any documents stored in our offices (as we use office paper), confidential letters (on official letter pads) and e-mail messages (university software, again), and tap into our phone messages (on the phone machines) as well: without any specific formal legal mandate or explanation or prior notice or warrant."
NO SHIT.
Anything you do at work(or working @ home) while using your employers property is considered owned by your employer, and you are not entitled to an expectation of privacy while using it.
I wonder what these idiots think of the DMCA?
If you install anti-spy software, and then that program crashes/does weird stuff, this could be your indicator that there _is_ spyware on your system.
Time for a low-level format.

The US Air Force Space Command, and the US Naval Space Command do track space junk.
The size of objects they track is around 4 inches diameter.
That's the un-classified version, I'm sure they can track smaller items.
Maybe they are in such financial hardships because of stuff like this:

What would it cost Portland Public Schools, which is already facing a $36 million shortfall, to sign that Microsoft School Agreement?
"A rough number? $500,000," Robinson said, "which translates, roughly, into 10 teaching positions."
The way I do math:
25,000 computers times ~$42 apiece equals just over a Million $
If this guy under-budgets everything by half, no wonder they are in the hole so much.

MS Solitaire? It's come with every version of PC based Windows I've ever seen.
