Back home, the two large hospital chains use different products for their EMR. They got together for a joint-venture to share patient data. The two vendors are working together so data from one system can transfer and be available in the other.

If the patient decides he/she wants to use another hospital for work, her information and history is already available. Not every day you see hospitals working to ensure patients are taken care of before their wallet.

Why not copy what The Tunnel movie did and have people pay $1 per frame. They also randomly choose a frame, and the owner of that frame gets %1 of any money they make.

Certainly a fun way to get involved in a movie creation.

Would it be possible to donate cycles from individual PCs to help render scenes, similar to the SETI project ? That would cut costs dramatically.

You're correct. I don't understand why "cyber criminal" is listed as a type of hacker when most of the listed types are considered criminal acts.

I think the idea of people becoming gods is a misinterpretation of the references of scripture that says we will have all that the father has if we keep the commandments and endure. It is only a guess.

It has never been spoken by any of the church's general authorities and I've never seen references to becoming a god in the scriptures. Sadly I am pretty sure it is false doctrine that keeps spreading.
