Comment Propiatary Binary Code (Score 1) 705

When a system runs all gpl'd open source software that is tested by tens of thousand of users and distro maintainers then why would you need to reboot. It only comes into question when your system becomes littered with binary kernel modules and binary programs like flash and god knows what other binary code gets put on without rigorous peer review. Thats when you run into trouble and your system becomes unstable. Not to mention getting your repositories messed up. As more and more of the Microsofties embed them selves in Linux/Unix it will only get worse.

Comment Shielding (Score 1) 85

Couldn't you design the assemblies so the boards could be conformal coated with a dialectic layer and them potted with a RF absorbing layer and then a grounded layer as not be able to pick up the emissions in the first place.

Comment Magnetic Shielding (Score 2) 360

I did a little research into this for a Mega Joule Plasma discharge reaction vessel shielding in case of various particles or fields were generated. Didn't want to go sterile or alter my brain. Here is a few links. I had a PDF from 1960 that was like 600 pages detailing various ideas for the future of space travel and the huge amounts of Tesla required. Like if the magnetic field were to be able to collapse then the space ship would melt and implode. Can't seem to find the link right now.

Comment Short range FM (Score 0) 840

Hell make a small FM transmitter and tune for a unused freq on the radio and distribute them as repeaters or other mass dissemination use. Like clandestine radios for the French resistance. These days the design could be the size of a cell phone and transmit a fair distance.
