Although a small number of people
disagree
it is widely believed you cannot prove a negative.
So there will never be proof that RF doesn't cause cancer. Ever. Just like you can't prove Santa Claus doesn't exist.
However, there's no way for your tissues to tell the difference between a UHF TV transmitter 5 miles away or a low power cellphone held up to your head.
you can buy a similar tritiated light from www.unitednuclear.com and they are in the USA.
It uses the same traser trademark.
I have a green one, it's encapsulated into a teardropped shaped lump of plastic. It's on my keyring and it's about as bright as my clock radio at night.
I have no relation to www.unitednuclear.com other than being a happy customer.
You'd have to be naked for the 3d scanner to work. You just know the teenage guys will be trying to get the scan of the women. It's just not going to fly.
The Chernobyl accident boils down to to reactor overheated, the graphite (purified coal) moderator caught fire, and vaporized the core all over the place. White hot coal does tend to catch fire you know.
Now in comparison, TMI overheated and the water moderator... didn't catch fire.
Boy we sure are "lucky" that water doesn't burn as well as coal. I guess it's all just luck that water didn't catch fire.
Not only are the keycaps removable, they are also printed with an ink that cannot be disolved by dishwashing detergent. Remove and wash the keycaps and people will think it's a brand new keyboard.
What about cheap breakers, switches, and dimmers that depend on switching during the AC zero-crossing interval? Won't the presence of even a tiny bit of superimposed HF keep the arc alive in a circuit breaker until it incinerates the device?
Also losses in the cables will be immense so both the headend and subscriber boxes will have to use huge transmit power levels, so the level might be low at the middle of the cable but the transmitters might have to be dozens to hundreds of watts (?)
Frequencies are wrong for ILS which runs adjacent to the VHF comm band, more or less.
Far more likely, was an IFR NDB approach where they were trying to use the NDB to avoid the mountain, unfortunately they managed to avoid the interfering power lines instead, thus hitting the mountain..
NBD freqs are in the 200 to 500 khz range which is adjacent to some of the signalling done in the sub 200 Khz range.
The point of a T1 is you're paying big bucks for techs whom are highly trained and will dispatch at your convenience to fix even a suspicion of a problem 24x7 including holidays.
On the other hand, if your cable modem stops working, maybe the cable co will fix it in a few days, maybe not.
A collector would likely have paid alot for that machine. I know I would have given you maybe $100 for it depending on media and docs, and I'm relatively poor and cheap as far as collectors go.
Search ebay to see what a classic pdp-8 goes for now, generally more than a good used car is worth. Admittedly a pdp-8 is a little more popular, but I'm sure you could have gotten a heck of a lot of "beer money", or at least someone would have hauled it away for free, saving you the effort.
Low beam density makes it a useless weapon. The whole concept is that you could make a system with a beam density low enough that the focusing antenna is reasonably small, yet, with the beam density high enough that its not cheaper to just slap down solar cells on the ground.
Essentially you are getting more power from the cells in space, so as to offset the transmission and "shipping" (rocket launch) costs.
Look at the nasty chemicals the power lines use, such as creosote and god knows what else in the wood power poles to prevent rot, incredibly toxic weed killers, nasty PCB based cooling oils in the transformers...
The chemical waste spread underneath and along a power line will kill you dead, the EMF effect, if any, is unimportant.
For those whom don't get the joke, basically the ratchet heats up by impacts until its position is too random to gain energy from the impacts. Also the ratchet is flexible making it's position random. Really the same anyway, heat equals vibration.
The practical effects of temperature cycling will kill the chip long before simple high temperature kills the chip.
Thermal cycling from "room temp" to "too hot to touch" will eventually embrittle the wires that connect the die to the chip carrier (you know those little golden ones you see under the microscope). Then bump the case and the brittle wire cracks. Much like how thermal cycling eventually causes a copper car radiator core to crack after a few thousand heat/cool cycles.
Temperature cycling also makes chip connections to the sockets "loose" over time.
You are better off running the chip at a constant temp that is within it's design limitations.
It's got powerful replication services, although manually run.
Disconnected operation is no big deal with CVS.
As for distributed file systems, make one system the CVS server. Make sure all your systems "cvs update" by a cron job that runs often. If the main server explodes, your next task is to set up a new server. Set up your DNS so cvs.whatever.com points to your current CVS server, and keep a hot standby ready. Change the DNS to point to the new CVS, CVS commit from any of the slave servers that were doing "cvs update" every 5 minutes, and you're up and running again. Could automate it, if I had enough problems to make it worthwhile.
They're all the same, just dos and windows. Why not count what you can do with an emulator?
I've run MVS on a simulated IBM/360, various PDP-8 OSes such as OS8 and TSS8, TOPS-10 on a simulated PDP-10, RSTS/e on a simulated PDP-11, and of course original CPM on a Altair8080.
All of the above run in a emulator under Debian Linux.
Next year, 13 year old Bgot Thai says, "Last year my belly was swollen with hunger, but we ordered genetically engineered seeds from some place in America over the internet, and now my people and I are fat from our largest harvest ever. After the village elders read some public health sites on the Internet to learn about marlaria, they drained the swamp next door and no one gets marlaria anymore. Why, we even found a site on the internet explaining that we get cholera because we traditionally poured out shit in the same river we drank out of, so we don't do that any more and now we're healthy. Knowledge is power. Thank you, america"
"One American sucks down the same natural resources a year as what, dozens of Chinese."
Yes, and that same American is probably 30 times more productive at only 12 times the cost. Overall, a win for the Americans. Per pound of production, Americans produce less waste, etc.
The world's environment would be far better off if the American Farmer fed the entire world instead of letting the third worlders rape the environment using substandard techniques, equipment, and theory.

In comparison, how do you think electric baseboard heating works?

Imagine "Blackhawk Down" set in 2005.
What if the troops have no idea how to get home when their chopper is shot down or the natives put up another barricade?
A 3d environment like this is a very effective and fast way to memorize the map and layout of the city.
Also good for convoy training, preparing for ambush training, etc.

http://power48.mobilevoodoo.com/
Power48 runs on palms and palm compatibles and it emulates a HP48 at the hardware level.
It is, however, slow and locks up by sony SJ-33 rather often.
It's not as good as a real HP48 because there is no keyboard so it is very hard to tap and click as fast as you can type on a real HP48
Only slashdot could have a concentration of more than 3 debian developers. I'm vlm@debian.org.
You hit it, right on the nail.
You want to hear something hillarious? Tell them sure I'll gladly work for $5.25/hr. They like scream and hang up the phone.
The whole purpose is to justify the H1B and/or outsourcing, to legally document their desparate need for more H1B and outsourcing.

You forget the cost of labor which is generally vastly higher than the cost of energy
