Tried it out, and the only problem is that there are no serif fonts for the pdf versions. While I can understand sans-serif for screen use, paper really needs a serif font.

Don't know about the states, but it was prominent here in Canda (I gave one of the interviews on the news).

Actually,the hubble was spec'd to be a conic constant of p=-.0023, but was polished only to p=-.0139 (i.e. over hyperbolic). The error was due to a problem with the tester. The null reference element was out of position by just over a millimeter. The interesting thing is two other testers reported that the mirror was wrong, but they were ignored because they were not the 'primary' testing instrument. You are correct that it wasn't supposed to be flat, but it definitely wan't built to spec.

Sorry my last statement was out of context. I was referring to teachers and police, not doctors and lawyers in reference to having to be a member.

One of the controversies I was thinking about is the BC case (although not the one that lost the contract). My understanding about the BC MSP case is that EDS had to create a Canadian Subsidiery (EDS Advanced Solutions) which had to have Canadian Citizens as directors and set up a data center in Canada. Futhermore, the province had specific powers of attorney. So while EDS US would end up with the money from the contract (a different issue), the data would remain in Canada under Canadian legal jurisdiction.

Except that doctors lawyers and engineers are licensed by a professional body, not by the government. And there is a professional code of conduct that they must adhere to. Teachers and police are a certification, not a license (despite the name). You do not have to be a member of the professional body to practice.

I take it back, looking at the video posted, it appears it was bouncing all over the place.

I was wondering that too. If it had enough power to go through the wall, one would have thought it would go through the stairs, not bounce up.
