Technology you are referring to is known as Portal Dosimetry. In many hospitals it is required for all IMRT treatments. The simple fact however is that it takes time and as there are more patients to be treated than machines available, you won't be able to verify it for each session the patient comes in to (a typical session would be from 15 to 30 mins).

Newsflash, there are other things keeping the North Korea from entering into open war than just a field of mines. I mean, the North Koreans may even possess technology to go around mine fields!! Heck they could just send out all their prisoners and clear the mines with them!

To propose that North Korea would launch an attack if there was no mine field is ridiculous.

That's actually pretty cool, I didn't know that.

As I'm running Win7 at work so I just had to give this a go. With my mousing skills it takes quite a while to get the equation right. I would imagine it's very difficult to use that on a netbook. A factor slower than pen and paper anyway. For transferring your math from paper to computer I can see good use for this, though.
