NASA and the military were notoriously choosy about plastic/epoxy/elastomer type mat'ls that req'd a long shelf life; outgassing tests were the norm. Material selection differs greatly for a high reliability device with a shelf life twice the length of the service life of its commercial twin.
the horizontal refresh rate can be calculated if you know the vertical
It's not that cut and dried. A vertical rate will yield a range of valid horizontal rates for a given dot clock frequency.
X isn't restricted to the off-the-rack common screen resolutions--you can run all kinds of oddball combinations in an effort to squeeze performance out of your gear. Try running 944x708 from the Windows control panel! See the the XFree Video Timings HOWTO for details.
...and the nice feature is that it is available for both *nix (Sun, HPUX, Linux etal) and Win Systems. So if you have family/friends on that commercial OS there is a IPvoice solution. The Win setup is unremarkable; download, turn the Wizzer loose and cross your fingers. On the *nix end, a bit of the ussual sound setup twiddling is required to get things going; however, nothing out of the ordinary.
The best part is the availablity of *nix CLI operation! You aren't forced into X to use it; handy on older laptops & PC's.
The article gives the impression that they started with an empty "junkbox"--buying every part needed. Also the completeness of the individual building blocks in the system would greatly influence the total price. It's the old buy vs build thing. Heck, they could have dropped $1200 on the motor-generator set alone if they bought it before the Y2K non-event!
I was suspicious as soon as I saw that autoinstall pkg being offered; so I used rpm2tgz (from Slack) and did the install by hand. That way everything went where I wanted it, linked to the browser of my choice...and Netscape didn't fire up in a privilged state. (also, it was easier than looking up the myrid rpm control options)
Although devel/stable tree model is well understood in the Linux community, the concept might be a bit baffling for users on other platforms. The alpha/beta dance would be more readily grasped by those in the MS.Win or Mac worlds.

Mac OS, *nix, and Mozilla all support SSL3.0, so why arn't they included?
perhaps they don't run VBScript?
In the piles of forged bounces I've recieved recently, there are a few anti-spam-challenge emails. Curious, I follow the link.
Yes, I have found the AnswerWord right there in the ALT tag. Now, that's real secure.

Seems legislation is merely a societal Bugzilla...

As long as I have a bit of bandwidth to burn, (should last a few hours) you can see the dot front page here.
How else can a digital device measure voltage "directly"?
umm, how 'bout a resistance ladder and a comparitor. You can get all fancy with the ladder and adders, feedback for speed/size, wonder-blah.
...are there! Right click on the ruler and select your scale: mm, inches, or points.

Wonder if anyone has done a similar upgrade on a Palm VII? Now that'd be useful!

geeks are using the rhetoric wrong, and it will burn them in the halls of government.
If there is anything one takes home after reading this article, this is it: mind your phrasology!
That's $249 for site licence (to install on more than one machine); $49 for single copy, single machine.
..gotta whatch that cut & haste.
If you follow the links at PitsCo-Dacta you will find that it runs $249 single copy.
