I'm a particle physicist and it seems to me that these tablet PCs might be suitable replacements for the traditional logbook. The idea is that it would be a community tool that can be could be carried around the detector as people fix things (think of a big industrial setting), connect to a database via wireless to log changes, recognize the handwriting for multiple users, embed eps or jpg/png/gif in the log, etc.
Has anyone used these in an industrial setting? What do you think?
Sort of reminds me of boxers that are accused of being 'awkward'. Usually these guys are not that skilled but whoever they fight, even top flight guys, ends up looking bad.
Now, with the Republicans abandoning fiscal conservatism (cf. latest budget deficit numbers), it's hard to find much of anything left to like about them anymore.
Agreed. Republicans used to aspire to be real conservatives, which would:
Defend the bill of rights. The entire thing, not just ammendment 2.
Prefer local over remote governance.
Defend the little guy against goverment excess.
Excercise caution as regards foreign entanglement and "adventures".
Practice fiscal restraint.
The republican party doesn't stand for any of these things. Can anyone disagree? The modern republican party is far too cozy with mega-business and the religious-right. Consider what Barry Goldwater would think ( his most famous speech ) of all this.
How many republicans crossed over in the vote? That would be one measure of the number of real conservatives still around.
