There you Go! Off the Hook! Incredible -CPU- there definetly Lol!! Now we talking 'Back to Business as Usual' no argue with you on that one. You Have the Technology 24/7 there I may say waaaooouuuh! I have now a new 'Brainstorming Idea' about this concept. But not bring it to the bank yet! How about an 'Automatic (CPU) Bartender' server that have a 'Termographic Sensor' or 'Imaging Recognition Detection' which recognized individual needs accordingly with it weigth-heigth-vital signals-alcohol (%) volume-age-body hydration requirements-etc.?

Such unit migth as well ring an alarm and set-up a 'TaxiCab' when limits are reached or call customer designated driver if preferred. 'Sky are the Limits' and these units will be probably apply it to a 'Coffee (CPU) Maker' server as well with same features,Who Know's?

This is the beauty of brainstorming, one concept lay the path to another, You have the Technology. I knew you can handle it, absolutly. Good to make provision for a 'Lock and Tag' rigth on the handle for 'PM or Downtime' purposes on that 'Puppy' for compliance. And we'll need to check for proper 'PPE' at same time just in case. Quality and Testing Control will be a good thing to be include during manufacturing. We may do it for 1/2 to 5 HP Commercial (Limited Edition) and Deluxe with some extra fancy detalings like leds lites ilumination around as an extra attraction.OOOHHH!!! and I almost forgot the owner 'Manual and Data' literature. All Done Completed Finished!

CPU Performance,

MC

"Sorry we've only got this micros**t stuff: it's got too much gas and no flavour"

Damn: when I saw this I thought the caption was going to be for the picture above, next to the introduction to the blog:-

"Fred! Hey Fred!! Why have you started the engine?"

Its a "REST"

Reverse Engineering Support Tower.

"Rest at the Rest and let the others do the Rest".

If it would be a "FEST" (Field Engineering Support Tower) no work would be done at all.

I'd better get to it, Ky.

Don't know about patent lawyers, but let's see...

One to research the legal issues and precedents of changing light bulbs.

One to negotiate the contract with the electrician or technician who will actually change the bulb.

One to file the paperwork at the courthouse.

And a senior partner to approve the proceedings.

Of course the short answer is: How many lawyers can you afford?

You would only see them standing at the REST Fountain, if the stuff would be for free. Don't get me started! They are really nice people and do a very good job, but no one can prove it either way.

How many? If they really needed light and they would be the only ones left to do it? As many as it takes would be their decision. They would not have to foot the bill, which would help.

Lovely industry, really lovely, Ky.

Once, on a rainy Friday night in Belfast in early 1998, Steve S. took a keg of Guinness, a barrel of whiskey, and a jug of Baileys Irish Cream, and combined them in a 55 gallon drum to make the world's largest Irish Carbomb. He then made a bet with some local IRA members that if he finished the Carbomb in an hour they'd have make an honest effort to reach an accord with the British. The IRA members laughingly agreed figuring Steve S. would pass out before he finish a 20th of the drum. Steve S. then lifted the drum like a pint glass and proceeded to chug the entire 55 gallon Carbomb in under a minute. Needless to say, the IRA members were stunned. Within two months the Belfast Accord was signed.

Incredible Machine definetly, good invention no argue with you on this one neither! Too Good to be True but anyhow seing a great 'Modern Marvel'. I forgot to mention that will be nice to have it attach it to the 'EMS' in order to remotly adjust it capacity for 'Green Compliance' stuff. I do like that term -REST- is does make good sense absolutly, you got it!

Now back to this -REST- unit I will recomend to include a 'Golden Edition' as well with few gold made details around with the 'Deluxe' model. Hey, again it migth be a huge hit you got there Buddy, no doubth! Heeehaaahiiihee!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Brotherrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

The last thing will be the patenting steps which are not a piece of cake I'll Bet. You know legal stuff and a bunch of 'White Papers' to do. Waaaoouuuh! You Name It!!!

OOOOhhh?? and we can't forgot that it has to be pluged to a 'GFI' for compliance protection, Just In Case. Also imagine for a moment including a set of handson made jars pre-cooled in an evaporator unit wrigth by it side ornamentally and artistic integrated worldwide pictures embeded in it but with an 'anti-theft' tracking chip. Discouraging teft temptation, this will also be an extra protection for owner on special request. Not bad at all! And one last thing will be that it have to come for 50 or 60 Hz? (Emerg. Generator Compatible) depend on sale location worlwide. Will very probably need some good service tech. in order to cover warranties,etc. A "Multi-Billion Operation" to go in big scale globally.

Finally, 'Don't drink and hard-drive or you'll end up in a system crash'. Terrific Invention again with 'Unlimited' horizons. Congratulations Buddies and Go for It....Nice week all. Easy doest it and hang in there, BEEEEERRRRRRRRR Technologies Group. Gooossshhh!!!!!! LOL..........

For everyone who complained that Vista is so bad it would drive anyone to drink, Microsoft proudly announced the launch and live demonstration of its ultimate new patch to deal with Vista's problems. It won't improve the performance any, but it WILL make them more tolerable ......
