I've met this really lucky guy who did something rather similar to what you are talking about... bare with me...
He is not a developer (at least not any more) but a lawyer... He wanted to have an effect on society and CYBER law, but didnt want to be forced to pick sides, and or get involved with the BIG money. See the similarity? Well... he used to be a sysop (when he was 16) for compuserve... and im sure that his studies in AI involved some code.
digression aside: HE STARTED HIS OWN INSTITUTE AT HARVARD.
He 'procured' a set of night scopes. I dont know where from, but imagine a 16 year old with a set of those things. His dad was in the military reserves, very active during th gulf wwar, but was a proctologist in civilian life.
now comes the funny part: curfue, 18 miles to get home, and a choice: drive on the interstate, or take the back-roads, lights off...
the bastard only knew there was a cop on to him because of his radar detector, the cop never saw him pass, just got a reading of 145mph
the best part about it was that the kid got caught. I never found out how, but they got him, and strung him up. Attempted vehicular manslaughter, etc.
laugh, but this happened more than 5 years ago, before you could get these things in any sony video camera, back when the technology had a limited availability. Think about it now.
ACHA!! Im A REPUBLICAN... YES I LIKE TO MAKE MONEY, AND KEEP ALL OF THE PROCEEDS OF MY WORK....
BUT THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO GET POLITICAL, SO FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE DEMOCRATS, THIS GUY JUST BIT IT:
I AS A REPUBLICAN HAVE A SENSE OF SHAME TODAY, FOR ONE REASON. THE LEADERS OF MY PARTY GO AROUND cALLING DEMOCRATS TREASONOUS BASTA_DS, BAD MOUTH THEM, ETC. ETC. ETC.
BUT THEY MISS THE POINT. THIS IS THE WAY OUR COUNTRY HAS TO BE, WITHOUT DEMOCRATS, WE REPUBLICANS BECOME TOO OBVIOUS. WE WANT POWER, AND WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANY ONE ELSE BUT OURSELVES.
I AM SAYING THIS BECAUSE TODAY I AM ASHAMED. I AM ASHAMED THAT OUR PARTY, THE GRAND OLD PARTY, FAMOUS FOR STEALING FROM THE POOR, AND KEEPING THE PEOPLE IN THE DARK ABOUT OUR POLICIES, KILLED THE NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY.
WITH ONE FELL SWOOP, IN THE NBAME OF MAKING A POLITICAL STATEMENT, WE HAVE MEDE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY LOOIK LIKE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS, AND LOST ANY CLAIM TO INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP WHICH WE MIGHT HAVE HAD IN THE PAST.
THAT IS NOT THE KIND OF HIJACKING THEY ARE AFTER.. GO READ YOUR NEWS.
What you are experiencing is a javascripot which many organizations use to prevent the fracturing of their precious framed sites. Tell them to GET OFF FRAMES, and this can be avoided.
trance, the point is, an RFC is followed by our community, until it is the defacto standard (at which point someone will make it official) In this case, the RFC would be a wonderful thing to have everyone follow, but...well that will not happen. We all have to realize that as this thing of ours (no pun intended to all of you italians/mobsters) gets out to more and more people, who adopt it with abosolutely no respect for its tradidtions (or for the traditions fo those who created/run it) the RFC process which served us so well in the apst will have to be replaced by a more corrupt, easily manipulated system which could mean lots of cash for one group, or even one senator. The current process allows argument, best of breed adaptation, and some degree of removal of the standardization process from both government and industry. So saying that it is "just for comment" is fully correct, but you are wrong to say that this is unimportant.
If we are going to raise the issue of matter versus energy, can any of you actually tell me what matter and energy are? Can you proove to me that they do not consist of the same "stuff" or that this stuff is anything? I am inviting spam here, but unless I am mistaken (and I will consult the king of all experts on the subject if this gets responded to) YOU ARE ALL FULL OF IT, and have no idea what you are talking about. If we were talking about cars and airplanes, and calling them matter and energy, and we took apart the airplane, and the car, mixed up the parts, and built some new contraptions (which could perform the same tasks as the original car and airplane) would this ilucidate the issue a little better for you? Matter, energy... what do these words mean? What makes you think any of it WANTS TO BE DESTROYED??
But my network is not secure, and It would invite trouble:) Plus my "owners" would kill me... HAHAHA go shopping for electronics [on the] net and you'll see what I mean
ya, stop breakage... i can see it now: "we have incorporated inertial dampers into the body and display segments to prevent damage caused by accidental dropping. Infact this takes the machine into a new era, wireless is no-longer important, this product needs no table.. no level surface.. you can ue it in an airplane, and not have to worry about where it rests...." HOVER NOTEBOOK... apple should try to develop this, and call it the h-book.. sell it in fatigue color
A few years ago I used to do allot of kiosk development and a company named microyouch made a touchscreen which they installed in a crap 20 inch monitor (the package sold for 2600 or so, even at volume) which could stop a bullet, and keep on ticking... if you were a really big potential customer, they would even demo the bulet-proof issue for you in their mass factory (isnt that illegal???)
Wasnt MIT media lab (or someone) working on some dyes that could be turned on and off at different levels of red, green, and blue about a year ago?? Couldnt some of those dyes (assuming you get more than 2^2=4 variations in hue for each one produce some sort of useful display?? laying disposable power connections is no problem, nor is power... the issue is how to deliver the images frame by frame....

Thanks man,
you saved me a ton of work (having ceased to work in chem, i sort of buried all my books)
any way, as a benchmark, picric acid and tnt both come in around 400-500 kj per mole... so if someone gets some comparasons, we have answers on power.

So you should stop caring too

MAGNESIUM ALLOY.... you need some sort of ionic form, or maybe a metal hydride to access magnesiums reactive characteristics
