Reminds me of the swedish transport agency. It has several publications on its website describing, in great detail, how a terrorist may steal and release dangerous goods from vehicles.
Counties is Sweden also have more localized publications describing where to find the dangerous goods and vunerable sites.

Still no-one is putting the information to terror use. Seems there is other ways of protecting the homeland...

Your comment is very true but you are thinking like a good engineer. To the sales department every released patch is a liability. Releasing patches without proper verification is neglecting "due diligence" (spelling?) and is a cause of getting you're ass sued to kingdom come. Pardon my french.

The true cost of releasing a patch is not in compiling and distributing the fix. The money is spent on verification. By not releasing the patch to XP and w2k my estimates are that Microsoft is saving man-years in verification.

You just made me think of Aliens and that lovley MG-42 strapped to steadycam harness *sight*.

Think having a GE 7.62 mm minigun connected to this exoskeleton with proper regulating loops handling the spinup yaw and recoil. Strap the new ipod nano to it for the terminator-view http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUtC0OWhfEU&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fgizmodo.com%2F5355921%2Fvideo-shot-with-ipod-nano-our-first-clips%2Fgallery%2F&feature=player_embedded and play Rammstein. *fap* *fap* *fap*

The windows client works great with crossover. Even got the toolbar icon in ubuntu.

How about not making the feedback linear? I.e let the soldier hold 80% of the weight for small loads and 20% for heavier loads.
Sure it would make it more difficult to differentiate the real mass of things you lift but its a small price compared to the problem you described.

Makes me remember Bono's famous statement on stage -"Every time I clap my hands - a child dies". Followed by someone in the audience screaming -"Then stop clapping you sick f*ck!".

You just have to think about marvin the paranoid android...

Si has a atomic radi of 1,17 Angstrom, so thats 1,17e-10 meters or 0,17 nm.

You got to give it to the metric system ;)

"Terminal Automation" sounds more like you put robots in a retirement home...

Happened to me in 1986. A spring rain containing 200k bequerel per square meter...

But you got to remember that was from a reactor that had worked for five years straight. A freshly loaded reactor blowing up would only cause heavy-metal contamination like those tanks blown up by US forces all over the world (depleted uranium).

cheers!

The 50's promise of a reactor in your basement to power those nifty gadgets are finally here!

I'm going to celebrate with some burgers in non-degradable styrofoam containers while driving my three ton car (with wings!) down a twenty lane highway.

Thank you Gernsback! *shudder*

First things first. Top priority for the pirate party should be to make speak-like-a-pirate-day a national holiday.

I've just finished evaluating approximatley 500kloc code using Coverity Prevent and Klocwork Insight (Static analysis tools). Together they found around 250 issues with the code. Null pointer dereferences, array boundary violations and a bunch of other nasty stuff.
How many of these do you think involved memcpy? - Nil, Zip, Nada.

My girlfriend told me i got herpies from using her laptop

You're doing it wrong!
