It is pity they did not drain the swamp more thoroughly. I would point out that Voice of America's Bethany Relay Station was dismantled under the Obama Administration, as was the Space Shuttle program. Arguably, the Obama Administration oversaw the Science Purge, costing thousands of jobs removing anybody with a logical voice of dissent. This damaged the United States brain trust, an effect being felt today. Trump was a business man, he behaves like one. This does far less damage than our current Administration. It is like you don't understand, we lived through this. It is amazing the moderators let you post this.

Seriously, what did I miss? When did NASA get a man rated system?

Because sitting on the side of the road with dead batteries sucks. Paying five times the amount for the privilege sucks even more (Ok, I embellished a LITTLE). Who is vetting these articles?

I know, it sounds brash, but the statements pretty much sum up the situation. I would love a solution, just come back with one. At present, EV's present more problems than they solve (Economical, Infrastructure, Engineering, Safety....).

Only 12521 more wind turbines more to go and you will be able to equal the reactors output.

Now now, wingnuts are on both sides of this discourse. Indeed, it would be easy to contend that it was a left sided wingnut that authored this article; the definition may have offended him. Knowledge and wisdom is everywhere, we just need to tap it.

That's good... Was not familiar with the term.

Other than dated manuscripts, there is no absolute road map for the design, just a rough idea. Yet science helps us understand that indeed a design is present. The Higgs Boson particle is a great example. Its spin shows that it is slightly unstable. When the time comes, all of this will disappear, that is amazing.

Let there be light, and BANG there it is. ( or the latest theory has a four dimensional universe creating ours through a Black Hole, fascinating )

I do not understand this war on ideas and thought from ANY party. The truth will come forward, just let it. If you are confident that your ides are sound, let it go forward for review by others. There seems to be too much wisdom in those old documents to simply ignore.

Thanks for the information. I was not aware that there was/is HIPAA I and a sequel HIPAA II. I can see a large upside to patent records portability and was/would champion the cause (still like a XML version over HL7). While understanding the potential for patent information misuse, I have not really seen any yet (Of course that could be a good thing).

I am seriously glad to hear it. Couple years ago, I had to call ‘connected’ people to obtain (purchase) data from one Health Care System cut to a DVD, and hand deliver it to a Hospital so that a child could be diagnosed. They had been waiting DAYS for the information. This in the middle of a population center of close to one million people. Did they standardize (cement down) HL7? (Not being confrontational, HL7 seemed to be in a state of flux last I worked with it i.e. lets add objects!)

LOL, I remember McKesson (who seemed to assimilate any competition) had problems with product lines communicating with themselves.

Part of HIPPA was to address information portability. While it may be better, patent information portability is painfully lacking. When will this be addressed with the same gusto as the privacy portion?

I get it the currency has lost value, just move the decimal point.

I am sure he would enjoy a GERT board for his RaspberryPi http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/RASPBERRY-PI-/83-14460

CFL's suck, they are only more efficient than an Incandescent lamp, which is a fairly easy mark to hit. LED's, though more pleasant to use, are marginally more efficient than CFL's, but not as efficient as a standard T8 florescent lamp (100 Lumens per Watt). Polymer based Electro Luminescence is not new; I am very interested in this efficiency they are talking about (which is painfully missing in the article, 5x more than what????)

Health Information Privacy and PORTABILITY Act,
Sort of growing tired of fines being thrown around for the Privacy portion of this $@# piece of paper, where is the Portability enforcement?

I recall the real fight was between the Z80 and 6502 camps; the original RISC vs CISC discussions. The 6502 was certainly simple to program with its I/O being memory mapped. But as things evolved CPM certainly shaped up to be more of an operating system than what Apple's Basic Language OS variant.

I was routing for the 68000 to be the next step, but when Apple announced that the MAC was going to be a closed system (Pay for the SDK) I, as did many, jumped ship to the PC's 8088.
