Ian Darling wrote: red....yellow...green This would be simple enough in my mind too, but then again so is the current system. I think the issue here is that green signifies "all is well", and they don't want to send that message out. My question is, how do people who claim to "pay attention", either not retain the sequence of colors, or infer through news reports and reading the paper (or however they pay attention) what the status has been changed to.

Hm.. does that mean I can carry a gun? :-D -- Sancte Míchael Archángele, defénde nos in proélio contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli esto præsídium. Imperet illi Deus, súpplices deprecámur: tuque, princeps milítiæ cæléstis, Sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos, qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in mundo, divína virtúte, In inférnum detrude. Amen.

Only if you want to persuade the terrorists to sit down and play with Lego.. :rolleyes: Although, I'm very impressed by the design of that thing. Some serious thought and time has been put down into that gun! -- You see me driving down the street I look so f-ing good, yeah! We're smokin' weed and doing dirt in my Tommy Hilfiger hoodie, ha yeah, ha yeah, uh! We're gonna keep talking bullshit about you Cuz nobody be frontin' me and my crew! Cuz I'm a hip hopper, yes I am!

Whoa! Did you see http://www.lm-software.com/mlcad/e_default.htm[^]?? It's a friggin Lego CAD program! I used to play like crazy with Lego when I was a kid. Maybe I should start again? :) -- You see me driving down the street I look so f-ing good, yeah! We're smokin' weed and doing dirt in my Tommy Hilfiger hoodie, ha yeah, ha yeah, uh!

Las Vegas, ALMA and Consumer Electronics Show. One in-land stop. 5 levels - well, 3 "traffic light" levels would have been more american, if you take my meaning. It just sounded too much of "Code bright beige" of Star Trek spoofs.

mlog || Agile Programming | doxygenYou really think you're going to get through security with that rig?:laugh: I can hardly wait for the stories you're going to have for us after the trip!:) In fact, I'm calling the airport now, just to let them know you're coming and to request a body cavity search for you.:rolleyes: Enjoy!

Uhmm... an automotive Subwoofer (18" / some 10cm displacement) sweeping frequencies between 10..20Hz - yes, you could call it that ;) But Marketing won't agree I suppose. You can clamp Loudspeaker driver parts (diaphragm, or centering spider), and measure the progressive (displacement-dependent) stiffness. High tech made in germany, I'm quite proud of that baby!

mlog || Agile Programming | doxygenDo you have any idea what you can do to a dorm student during final exams week with that thing? Place it under the bed, or better, attach it rigidly to the wall adjacent to his bed in the next room (hopefully empty) and switch it on. Those frequencies will completely eliminate any hope of sleeping (although limiting it to 8 - 12 Hz is best)!:cool: "Another day done - All targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly" - Jennie A.
