    1.It would have the potential to make a funny comic sketch though. A person goes to an automated toilet and gets sprayed by faeces on his white shirt.. He now has to get back to an important meeting.

    Great answer BBF_BBF! Add to that, the endless payments for lawyers, and extra accountants to keep up with them. I don't think that Silicon Valley has time for such foolishness. They build real stuff!!

    Why are people always blaming the Government?? The corporations Tell the government what and what not to do. They buy laws (and other political things).

    A few obstacles to overcome. CRT oscilloscopes which are real-time and fast response - high frequency - $$$. You can spot a glitch or intermittent problem on them, easily. Parts? Good luck. Not to many of us 'Do it yourself' guys left = few parts outlets.. (I used to repair video games in the old days. You would not believe what you can see with a CRT 'scope'.)

    I remember those days and repairing TV', radios, and cassette players. They were great days!

  9. So the same thing goes for a DVD, since you own it, after you purchased it? To me they are trying to expand disgusting regulations to the gaming industry.

    If they ban all that, then maybe we should be looking elsewhere for entertainment. Money deprivation is a great deterrent for abuse!!

    What I read is that the are lobbying Against the ease of repairing units. To me this isn't good for landfills or the environment. Why can't they just put a new motherboard in the same case? Or maybe bring back IC sockets that allow for upgrades? It's always money first. :(

  13. This is the reason you make your own routers. You, you are the one who checks for vulnerabilities. Not some other country that could care less about you.

  14. Re:Since the 1980's Work Rampage on Panasonic Wants Employees To Relax, Limits Work Days To 11 hours (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I have been whipped as an electronic technician since 1980, In fact the late 1970's were not a walk in the park either. The field of electronics has always been cruel to workers. It took till 2004 for the perverted abuse to spread to the rest of the work fields. Now even office workers realize what we've been going though. I think around the late 1990's was when they started to crap on IT support.. Additionally, the 1960's and 70's was an extremely rough time on engineers.

  15. gweilo8888, you sound very informed! My question is: If a large corporation splits up into 100,000-person businesses, are the customers allowed to ask 'Who is the parent company you are under?

    This is why it's so important to study the politician you are going to vote for. Are they for big money? Or are they determined to serve the average person? Mid-terms are crucial voting times. People stay home and the greedy, vicious, ones sneak in; Starving the system till they break the back of their local economy. Then the people get wrongly mad at the government and want it smaller.

  17. A lot of data missing on World's Only Sample of Metallic Hydrogen Has Been Lost (ibtimes.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    The only 2 ways you could hold it would be a cube shaped which means: if you are lucky enough to get it square, you need 6 clamps. Or if it is a sphere then you need 2 hollow halves. Then comes the question if it is being held down that way, how do you see it? How can you measure it's resistance? How can it hold together by itself? If it needs that kind of pressure, it's similar to bringing up a deep sea fish and trying to study it at atmospheric pressure.. it just comes apart. If it takes that kind of pressure to hold it together, why would it not give a big explosion as it destructs?? Is this someone pulling a prank on us??

    A fact? Really? I've lost track of the number of shows, showing how to lift off a finger print off of a glass or a cup and place it on another object. Even on the Cable show 'NCIS', the forensic lady, 'Abbey Sciuto' touted how she could commit a crime and leave no evidence. One science will always be able to be trumped by another science.

  19. In this Corporate controlled world we have turned over yet another part of our lives. Good luck on going up against a large Corporation in Court. They will tear you to pieces!
