Re: Free analysis
I was thinking along those lines... is there a way to push all the experimental data (ALL the data from ALL the experiments) towards ALL the nosy TLAs?
Or at least towards Redmond, using the W10 telemetry 'features'?

Re: photons are photons / Pompous Git
Yes, photons are photons, but if you are referring to a radiometer (or Crookes* radiometer ) you chose a bad example - the "windmill" isn't really moved by the photons hitting it, but by heat (thermal energy). Which is why it only works in a near-vacuum (and I don't mean a Dyson).
And while the first working Laser was built in 1960, the theoretical foundations for the laser (and the maser) were established in 1917 by Albert Einstein in the paper Zur Quantentheorie der Strahlung. So if the Laser had not been invented yet while you were at school it really makes me wonder how old you were when you used to work as an artist's model. (^_~)
*Interesting guy, by the way: Sir William Crookes and somehow IT-related, he was a pioneer in vacuum tubes.

It's law to have your dog microchipped, but databases run themselves, right?
Friday 22nd April 2016 21:21 GMT
Might be the "databases run themselves" thing. I have seen that one a couple of times. Some people* have absolutely no idea what it means to have a large database. They really seem to think that you just buy some software, install it - and all the data you want to work with magically enters the system entirely by itself. And keeps itself automatically up to date. Because it's on a computer, isn't it? And computers do all the work for you.
*Like one of my former bosses. Bought a Facility Management software. I still don't want to talk about it.

Mac users aren't ignored. It's just that they aren't a market yet.
I can't tell if this is statistically valid, but all the Mac users I know (about a dozend, all of them working 'something in media' jobs, most of them freelance) still tell me something along the lines of 'Oh, I dont't need to worry about computer security, I have an Apple, that's only a problem if you use Windows' every time the topic comes up.

convenience vs security.
It's very convenient to have a master key that can be used on any lock in the building. However, once a master key goes missing, you'd have to replace all the locks. In my part of the woods that's roundabout 100 EUR per lock if you buy in bulk.
Not a bad idea to use different systems/manufactures for locks on the perimeter of the site, the outer hull of the buliding(s) and the inner doors; or different systems for sensitive/not-sensitive parts.
You'll have to clear this with your local firefighters and/or buliding authorities though.

Re: Googles argument may be valid.
As much as it gives me pain to do so - I must admit that G00gle has a point. Middle men always take their cut. The music industry's business model is outdated. It has been rendered obsolete by "new" technology - I'm using quotation marks because this has happened about 15 to 20 years ago. And they still haven't adapted yet, the lazy bastards. If your business model is no longer valid, you either adapt it or you'll go out of business. That's how it works. Hiring an army of lawyers will only delay the inevitable, but it won't stop it.
