According to Wikipedia, corona discharge is one method used by ozone generators. Home air purifiers that use ozonolysis have been shown to cause unhealthy levels of ozone. This device is a lot smaller than an air purifier designed to circulate air throughout an entire room. But still, I wonder how much ozone is actually generated by it.
First off I should note that IANAD (Doctor). I am not involved in the fields of biology or medicine. This is all just speculation.
Obviously drinking alcohol stimulates the liver into working more than it would have worked had a person not been drinking alcohol. Could this stimulation cause the liver to work more in its filtering duties for the immune system at the same time?
There are other examples of stimulation producing positive effects in the body. Probably the most obvious of these is exercise and its effect on the muscular system. Regular use of a given muscle will cause it to increase in strength. Similarly, could regular use of the liver cause it to increase its ability to filter harmful virii and bacteria?
As one of many, many people coding a very large software project, I have come to realize just how important comments are.
My job is to test various pieces of code. Often the code is very poorly documented and I may end up spending days just trying to figure out how the code works. Even longer tracking down the bug(s) in it. If the person who wrote the code in the first place had bothered to comment it, I would spend A LOT less time (maybe no time) trying to figure out how the code works. But, since they skimped on comments (saving them a few hours), I'm left spending days working on the code, which costs the company a lot more in the end.

10 millibits? Per second? That's pretty slow... :P

Oh and in case anyone is interested in reading the full response from Jim McNerney (Boeing's CEO), here it is.
For what it's worth, the data wasn't supposed to be on the laptop and the guy was fired for going against company policy.
Who needs testing? Doesn't everyone's code work perfectly on the first ru

Even if anyone reading this did know, I'm pretty sure it's illegal for them to give you details.
Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure it's illegal for you to even disclose the fact that you're building computers for a classified project...
