This isn't that big a deal really because we SHOULD all be using a router of some kind in our homes and business's to block any outside attempts to see our actual machines. Let me guess that most of the IP's collected are 192.168.0.1? WOW that was hard.
Most MRI's that we do are on referral because they don't want to take on that risk and understandably. There are neurologists that ask for them, cardiologists, and even some endocrinologists that will need these tests but recognizing the risks or not wanting to potentially cause problems with the device they refer on to us. The biggest threat is not the device shooting out or the leads (because they are non-ferrous and thus not susceptible to magnetic fields) but rather programming problems or the more common battery drainage.
Oklahoma Heart Institute, Tulsa, OK - Dr. James A. Coman. Let me clearify (sorry a little irritated this morning). These tests can be done safely, but they need to be done with proper care. You need someone that can check the device (either pacemaker or defibrillator) for battery life and overall functionality. Not every doctor should do this but they should at least know enough to send their patients to someone that can and will. If your cardiologist says flat out that it can't be done then maybe it is time to find one that is a little more current on their stuff.
YOU CAN HAVE A MRI AS LONG AS YOUR CARDIOLOGIST IS NOT A DUMB ASS. Quit spreading this lie. I work for a Cardiac electrophysiologist and we do these every week. Yes there are some risks and the patient needs to be monitored but it can be done and it is safe.
I have fewer problems with XP than with any other Windows version since 3.x and the ones that I have had have not been totaly M$ fault (aka bad drivers from vendors, uninstalls that are not clean, bugy add on software) but look at how long since 3.x that people have had to find other means to get their computer to act the way thay want to under 95, 98 & SE, ME (terrible idea). M$ has finally wised up and implemented the "trusted" vendor/driver solution so you know if it has actually be tried out and meets expectations.
Couldn't agree more about make links to their compeditors. It is the one big reason that I have problems with the Phillip-Morris rulings. Making them place ads and tv spots to try and get people to quit their product or to not even start. Not that I think that smoking is good for you but at the same time that first drag should have told you it was bad for you. Kinda like dealing with M$, the first couple of problem should have clued you in on the fact that you might have to look else where to find reliable software.
Would the EULA really fall into affect here if the anit-spyware maker is not an end user? Wouldn't it be easier to go after someone that is using the anti-spyware software to get rid of their product? But really what company wants to take a leak on the hand that they eat with?

There's an app for that.

Just what we all need, one more thing for people to do while behind the wheel of a vehicle besides actually driving.
95% links to it.

I surf therefore I am.

Already an SNL skit (early 90's).
