I would suggest a "rolling pin" for each occurance. That is, a pin assigned each time you visit your doctor for that specific incident. That way, while someone may gain access to a specific incident, they do not have access to the entire case history. Only someone with a complete listing of their pin numbers would have that access. Also.. doctors are very busy. I don't think real time chat is realistic, but if you can pull it off, it would be nice to chat with my doctor from home, have him issue me a perscription for my flu or whatever online, and run to the store to pick it up, or have it delivered.
Prolonged contact to the refresh rate in these and other devices has been shown to have an adverse effect on a person's development. The same applies to any device that has a strobe effect, or certain video games that have alot of rapid action visual adjustments (regardless of the content of the game). The reason you see "less" of these warnings on other devices is that they are obviously not as immersive. Set a cheap monitor to a high resolution. The closer you get, the more the display seems to give you a headache. Same effect!
Get a life.. grow up. The guys at/. have a tough job to do, and their only goal as far as I can tell is to disseminate information to the world. It takes time to verify the accuracy of EVERY article, and very little would ever get posted if that were the case. That's why they open these postings up to commentary, so that readers can 'discuss' the validity, or accuracy of each article. Please don't attack the folks at slashdot. They are only the messengers!
I'm not trying to sell anything. Here's the known scoop, magnetic media is crap, dead tech, but booting from CD is still more of a 'temp' option then it is perm. Zip's media sucks. I can't stand it, it's flawed, and unreliable. Superdisk 'media' is much more reliable. Even the newer drives are a little bit slower then zip, but it's negligible, and for those of you out there still using a 1x drive, either it still suites your needs, or you deserve what you are getting. 2x drives can be purchased for as low as $40. For the few of you out there flaming this option because you are trying to sell your own alternative, fine, for the rest of you, this is an option. Only an option. ALWAYS do what you feel is best, or most comfortable!
For the purpose of clarification, ZipSlack didn't work the way we wanted with an ls120, as it was intended for use with a zipdrive, and it used a umsdos. Quite simply, umsdos SUCKS.. it has a tendancy to break things. Another problem with some of the other solutions I have seen posted here is, writing an image to CD & booting from that is restrictive. It can only be mounted read-only. SuperSlak is a way to boot an EXT2 filesystem from removable media. Booting from removable media was not supposed to be new news, it was supposed to be improved news for those of us who have Superdisks, and wanted an improved alternative.
      For crying out loud! Why does it always, ALWAYS have to come back do a damn comparison to racism against blacks? There's been racism elsewhere, against others. The only thing keeping racism alive is the absolute, and utterly juvinile instinct, to consistently hammer in the fact that life, for someone, at sometime, has not been fair. We ALL go through it! ALL OF US at some point. Give it a rest. We're well aware of our past, now let's fight the future. Down with the damn ISP for being unfare to someone in the PRESENT.

SOMEONE has to give these guys credit that they are actually /.'ers and that they are taking the time to respond!
I thought it was a joke!

dev needs to be writable... /dev/mouse /dev/hd* /dev/audio /dev/dsp /dev/pty* /dev/tty*
