You are correct about the light sensor on the finger. They are referred to in hospitals as a "pulsox meter", short for pulse oximetry, and they measure both pulse and oxygen saturation.
Basically light is emitted at two different wavelengths (650nm and 805nm). The haemoglobins in your blood will absorb more or less of this light depending on oxygen saturation. Basically this meter is looking at the colour of your blood. It then takes the measurements and computes the oxygen saturation based on the delta between the amount of light absorbed at each of these wavelengths.
What in god's holy name are you blathering about??
Except in some very, very rare instances, the vast majority of cars lacked an ECU until the late 70s or so. Only after the late 80s did the ECU really begin to commonly control timing and fuel delivery in the majority of vehicles. My dad's got a 1990 isuzu pickup, inline four, carburetted, points and condensors, manual tranny, what exactly is a computer controlling here? The only computer controlled system I know of on that vehicle is the ABS, and it hasn't worked since '93...
yes this is OT. i'm not anti in-dash computing or anything...
my point is, why would i want to try it when i hear so much that's bad about it... confusing, poorly documented, etc, and the only thing i hear in its defense is just to try using it and see for myself?
i hear things like this about zope all the time, i guess this is why i've been hard pressed to try it out. (completely aside from the fact that something about the name 'zope' just bugs me. 'plone' too, for that matter.)
so i'm left confused, what exactly is supposed to be made easier by this? it sure seems like a possibly good idea gone wrong.
Uhm, all he did was mention that the person he was talking about happened to be female, I hardly see how that implies any generalisation based on gender... Quit crusading.
well, their commercials say that they can unlock the doors remotely. no reason to think they can't do anything else they desire to the system remotely.

I'm not sure about other states, but here in RI we have the "Whistleblower's Act" to specifically protect employees who report the legal violations of their employers. Now, I guess whether or not a GPL violation is considered a legal violation would have to be tested in court...
I've been saying for quite a long time that I think this is a big reason that Ogg Vorbis has not caught on. And people can argue all they want, claiming that it has caught on... But it really hasn't.
It's called an autologous bone marrow transplant (as opposed to an allogence transplant, from another donor). They basically take some of your bone marrow. Then they whack you with the strongest chemo they've got. It's used for multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, breast, ovarian, and testicular cancer. The chemotherapies for these conditions affect your bone marrow greatly. So, they take some, whack you with the chemo, which hoses your bone marrow. Then they give you some of your old marrow back.
I was an Adriamynic, Bleomycin, Dicarbazine and Vinblastine for Hodgkin's lymphoma, this is a very common chemo for them to do an ABMT. I was spared this, though, because my bone marrow was already shot when they began treatment.
i don't know what the scale on it was, but when i was undergoing chemo treatment, i wore a dosimeter that my friend had, for a day after being injected with gallium-67, for a gallium scan. the thing was pegged at t he end of the day. also, he was able to detect me on a geiger counter from around 40 feet away.

So why do Sony Vaio machines ship with Windows, then?
Perhaps a Psion organizer or an old HP palmtop would be your answer.

Do you know how many time zones there are in the Soviet Union??
nope, only 22.3 years.

I hope not. When Sony's Walkman TPS-L2 came out, it listed for $200, in 1979 dollars. Using this page, that's about $496 nowadays!
uh, no, it's definitely his real name. i've known him (well, peripherally) for about ten years.
from a VME machine?
no, but you can run lunix on it.

sorry, meant to say 'allogenic'

What? That is patently ridiculous.
Other people use this phrase in this context! Excellent.
