The only units I would like to stick with in the U.S. are all automotive-Horsepower, Torque (foot pounds), PSI, Quarter Mile and 0-60mph. Yes 0-100kmph=0-62mph, but that's still not accurate. Some cars are designed to redline in second gear at 60mph so they only need one shift to do 0-60mph, while they may need to hit third for 100kmph. Otherwise, metric is fine for distances, weights, volume, etc. It makes doing technical business with international companies difficult, and although the U.S. doesn't want to change I believe it would be a good use of the stimulus money.
I could see a solution like the OP describes being useful for parents with special-needs children. Often children with autism or similar conditions are sent to a regular school, but with different conditions.
I actually have something in my network management suite that pops up in big, red letters "Intruder Detected". Hired (and armed) goons are automatically sent to the physical location of the network port.
Will it be as fast as a dedicated NAS, with 4 SATA drives, and a "real" RAID controller? No, but it will be much better many other products out there today. But for other applications, this box should be pretty good. Many people will be limited by 100meg network infrastructure more than USB 2.0 bandwidth. I'm no Kernel Hacker, but I'll pick up one to play around with.
Sounds like a nice box to use as a NAS, just hook up a fast USB 2.0 drive and you're set. With a 1.2ghz CPU and all that RAM it should fly. Meh, my 2TB professional Raid 5 NAS only has a 400mhz CPU and IIRC 32mb of RAM.
What about someone who is carrying a weapon without their knowledge? That won't show up on the scans. I could see the supplement current screening technologies if it ever is deployed, but not replace them.
What happens when Mr. Senior Executive walks through it with his pacemaker? What about when data stored on an emergency responders mobile device is completely wiped?

AFAIK adblock has been able to stop even loading data from blocked domains for a while.
The first rule of goverment spending: "Why build one when you can build two for twice the price?". It's a great quote out of "Contact"

Nice to see another hustle fan around

Let's not even start about false positives....
Does it matter what copyright was intended to do, or how it is legislated and enforced today?
Oh, so this is the DBA job for the multi-petabyte DB? Too bad the interviewer had a "jolly good time" keeping the gun pointed at my head....
Google seems to be into a good amount of legal trouble lately. It seems like the lawsuits have started only when google had the $$$ to pay up.
