  1. Re:Same is true of any machine... on Tokyo Students Design a New Robotic Muscle Suit · · Score: 1

    When cranes break, the results are catastrophic, often not only to the operator, but also those around them. However they allow for more work to be done, more safely, by smaller crews, so they are frequently used. This could easily be similar.

    It doesn't change the hardware, simply removed the limitations present in the firmware.

    Did IT for a Fire Department at one time. One of the guys "accidentally" backed over his ToughBook with a fire truck, and it worked fine after. I second the build quality.

    If I read it correctly, he meant "the collapse of the dollar", which was at the end of the sentence you quoted the beginning of.

    There are terrestrial wireless providers that cover most of the area around Austin. Disclaimer: I work for one that covers most of the area north of Austin. If you google around, you'll see that there are quite a few options around here, offering comparable speed to price ratios of low-end DSL connections. Or, if you'd rather, you can email me and I'll give you the name of my company if you're in our service are, or a reputable company that might service your area if you're out of range.

    Actually, network admin for a small ISP.

    Though I do write scripts from time to time.

    I have friends who are developers, and they wouldn't classify themselves as IT. I personally think it requires more than use of a computer to be in IT. If you repair, replace, install or upgrade (also known as "service") the computer systems that are used by the staff or customers, including network equipment, desktops, and servers, you just might be in IT.

    The secretary will be thrilled that you just promoted her to IT staff, just for playing solitaire and typing letters instead of hand-writing them.

    Is it bad that I read that as "the Neanderthals" and laughed, but then was confused by the other responses to this question?

    I assume, then that since MD affects a sublayer under the retina, and not the actual retina itself, that this carries little hope for affecting retinitus pigmentosa?
