the USAF has modified the wings of an early version of an F-18 fighter. This aircraft was chosen because its wings are more flexible than those of most others./I?
F-18 Pilot looks out the cockpit: WTF???? Mayday! My wing's bending all over the place!
Control: Um - it's "meant" to be like that!
Muffled voice: Hey guys, quick, think of something!)
Although it has much better heat transfer properties (and it's price reflects this...)
It's problem is that it is also electrically conductive! A work collegue used some on his new Athlon. The only problem was he slipped and got some on those little contacts (the ones you need to jumper for over clocking) - the thing didnt boot simply because he had bridged various pins!
(luckily with a magnifying glass, some metholated spirits and a careful hand, the gunk was cleaned off and the processor came back to life!)
ERG was the company behind the design, development, manufacturing and installation of the Hong Kong ticketing system. Their plan as a business is to collect transaction fees - however I'm not sure if this was part of the Octopus agreement. - later system sales cetrainly include revenue from transactions.
BTW - Your earlier comment re:ERG and Murdoch was a bit off.... Just because ERG use smart cards, they have no links to cable TV or any other application apart from a few small integrations they are trying to add to their systems - such as vending machines.
Re:So is this like the system in Singapore?

Well it is similar - in the sense that the same company designed, built and installed the system.
(ERG Transit) They both use contactless Smart Cards as a payment option.

Looks like you have the right attitude and temperament for a lawyer.
You should go far. (and the sooner the better!)
