Three important features had to be ignored in order to make this article a sell to the editor:
1) all the quoted sources, except the Harvard professor (whose interest is academic,) have a vested interest in selling services to hospitals because of this regulatory environment blessed upon us by Al Gore (the HIPAA administrators in the slashdot discussion, for example, present a much more balanced view.)
2) Measures and error for amounts of violated privacy is complicated because legislation assumes there is vice among medical providers to ignore your personal interest which is why that vice needs to be regulated. In other words, how much did the medical industry drunkenly violate your privacy until prohibition solved their alcoholic transgressions?
3) The server administrators do hit the nail on the head (anyone with their expertise or experience was notably absent from the article,) and yet the machinery cannot completely control one lowly employee, getting paid minimum wage, with access necessary to schedule or bill services, spending their time recording personal information and selling it on a black market.
I was surprised that no one mentioned Reverend Dodgson's fondness for the number 42. Because Adams' 'Life... ' similarly interweaves logical implications for its humorous impact, I just assumed he'd read Alice.
"Rule 42, the Queen always wins."

LabVIEW also runs on OS X, and LabVIEW 7 Express just came out, but how well does it integrate with instruments and old vi's? What has been the experience with VISA and PCI boards on Mac OS X with LabVIEW?
The nature of journalism is simply one person's diary, and the nature of science is knowledge. Diary entries about knowledge are not well-classified, but the most common misunderstanding is that physics and chemistry represent the pinnacle of knowledge.
In those categories, or disciplines, there is a broad gap between the dry technical writing for peer-review, and the explanations to people with non-specialised knowledge about physics and chemistry. Industrial interests probably do the best job in this gap because they want to market technical products to the most people in most situations. Writers are filling the gap as well, and I believe the foundation on which a bridge can be built lies among the principles, or laws, that physicists and chemists have uncovered.

Hey, pay increase, wait-a-sec, I'm gay, and so's my wife!
