"The best material to shielding EMI is to use copper coated iron sheet" What is the guy on? If he is trying to create a kind of Faraday cage then choose good conductors like Oxygen Free High Conductivity (OFHC) Copper. Even better use some superconducting material if you really feel like pushing the boat out.
I tried it while I was in Japan at christmas. I wasnt actually that impressed. The resolution wasnt that good and it wasn't very comfortable (I think it was adjusted for Japanese people and wouldnt fit on my roman nose.) On thing it would be excellent for is watching a few DVD's on long hall flights, But where theres room I'd rather have a tv.
You do all use your own end to end encryption over any comunications link anyhow. Don't you?
Been done before, but progress is good

QNX OS on a floppy
·
· Score: 1
I used to use a version of a Slackware installation which had been cut down to fit on a floppy. In terms of things like file downloads it was much faster than the windows installations at uni, and for repairing a dead system it was perfect. Of course It didn't have any GUI but it was still a very useful tool.
Any progress in this area is good news. Adding the latest features isnt the only goal. Getting a fully featured OS onto a tiny space can only improve the technology as a whole. I look forward to seeing lots of spin-offs.
I did some reasearch on this for my degree a couple of years ago. I got most of my info from the los-alamos pre-print archive under quant-ph. http://xxx.lanl.gov/archive/quant-ph Some useful background information is in Andrew Steane's paper, but you will get heaps more stuff with a quick search.
Any details as to how fast it is as a router or firewall machine. If it works well then it would save me sacrificeing one of my bigger machines to keep the assholes out.
I'll bet the shipping to the UK costs more than the goods.
They won't ship it to the uk. Or at least there is no option to do so. If they charge $10 to send it to Canada then I don't want to know how much it would cost anyhow.

Newscientist magazine recently carried an article about repairing damaged nerves. http://www.newscien tist.com/nsplus/insight/future/svendsen.html Common spinal injurys do a lot of damage but a clean knife cut could be fixable in the near future.

Remember this site: http://xxx.lanl.gov it's damn useful.
