IANAL, but the government can open the safe themselves, but I'm not sure that they can "force" you to open your safe. Same thing with the encrypted drive; the government is free to spin their wheels trying to figure out their keys on their own, but they can't force the key from you directly.

But did Netcraft confirm it?

Personally I prefer "half-dead" or "quasi-dead". Does that make me a pessimist?

Please mod this up. Thanks for the info. This thing has been around for over 20 years! I had no clue.

Wow after reading my comment it does sound like I'm downplaying the research. I guess I should probably wait and see what's gained from this before I run my mouth.

I get all that. I think the article may be misread as him "breaking a record" of some type, when all he's actually doing is staying in an undersea lab longer than his grandfather. I'm not downplaying the research aspects of it, but one could question how much serious research is being done if they have to promote the endeavor on social media the way that they are.

This has been done before (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEALAB), and I don't believe that it was turned in a huge PR stunt (barring Carpenter's hilarious phone call with LBJ).

I see how it could be read that way. It would have been better to say "will stay underwater longer than his grandfather" instead of "will beat grandfather's record", which could be read as his grandfather holding a record in the first place.

At first I read the headline and thought "oh, he's going to be underwater using scuba gear for 31 days, awesome", but after reading the article he's going to spend 31 days in an "undersea lab". That's supposed to be a record of some type? Don't sailors in both the U.S. and Russian Navy spend many months at a time submerged in nuclear subs? If it is a record, it states that his grandfather holds it at 30 days....but fails to mention that Scott Carpenter spent that same amount of time in SEALAB II. So which is it?

"fag" jokes aside, this will be pretty awesome if Harley follows through with it. Being a Harley owner myself, I'm aware of how conservative their customers are when it comes to changes to their product line. They are taking a big risk with a bike that is such a departure for them, but at the same time they realize that times are a changin' and most of their customers are getting older, so they must change as well. To my knowledge, this will make them the first major motorcycle manufacture to produce a large electric bike (I think BMW makes an electric scooter, and Hero makes smaller electrics for the Asian market).

Specs are sketchy, but I read on RideApart (http://rideapart.com/2014/06/harley-davidson-electric-motorcycle-built/) that range will be somewhere in the 30-52 mile area. That isn't terribly great, but the 3.5 hour charge time on 220 isn't to bad. Styling is wonderful, too. There's no clutch or gears, and I'm sure that it'll be a torque monster. If it works out well, it could be a game changer, all with a bike assembled here in the USA.

I usually don't respond to AC's but what you are saying is absolutely true. My experience is completely anecdotal, but when the CGM would show a fluctuation of 100 within an hour and the test strips show a deviation of 10 during the same time frame when checked every 15 minutes, it definitely made me question the CGM.

I'd love to read some studies about the accuracy of different brands of test strips and CGM devices, as long as they weren't tainted by the manufactures and vendors of said devices.

I had a Medtronic Paradigm. My pump is made by Medtronic (which I'm very happy with), so this CGM was designed to be used in conjunction with it.

Thanks for the advice, you're the second person in this thread to recommend the Dexcom. Looks like I will need to talk to my endocronologist :-).

Ditto. I'm a type 1 who has used a pump for the past 7 years. I tried the CGM device for a few months about two years ago, and was really disappointed. The readings were widely inaccurate (sometimes over 100 mg/dl). I also didn't see much point in it if I still had to manually check my blood sugar levels at least 4 times a day to calibrate it. Having an additional piece of equipment stuck in your body all day was also another turn-off.

But the biggest downside? The $35 that each sensor cost out-of-pocket after my insurance fees. When these need to be changed every 3-6 days, that adds up pretty quickly.

I believe that these devices will eventually reach the point of convenience where you'll seldom need to think about type 1 diabetes (outside of filling the pump and changing sensors), but the price is a huge barrier to entry.

Indeed, there has been much controversy surrounding these attempts since at least the 60's. When Craig Breedlove broke the 400 mph limit in the Spirit of America, the FIA wasn't sure if they could classify it as a "car" since it only had three wheels and was powered solely by thrust. The FIM however was more than happy to classify it as a motorcycle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_of_America_(automobile)). The many different configurations have resulted in the myriad of classifications available (piston engined, powered wheels, thrust, etc etc).

I wish Andy Green the best, hitting 1,000 mph is going to be a tough nut to crack.

It was a joke, but I'm wondering if Bruce includes ESR in that description.
