Wonderware, Intellution & SIMATIC IT. By industry I refer to discrete (car & cell phone), continuous (oil, gas, chemical), and batch (food and pharmacuticals) types of processing and manufacture. embracing the "future" more and more companies are not doing offline testing all samples remain...

LOL, pardon me. I've been in the continuous manufacturing and processing industry for 21 years, the last 1/2 of which has been in the manufacturing of software and technologies that provide the very benefits I mentioned. The software, tools, and products produced by the companies I've worked for...

Yes but you also have "evolved/learned" to use your much higher intellect to create choices/tools which allow you to look at more than just the club over the head and drag it by its hair approach to every problem. A two year old throws a temper tantrum because after reaching a similiar level of...

Well, it's somewhat of an achievement to have cause a tangent to this conversation by complete accident. Honestly my original thought was merely based in sarcasm. My point being, that very slow doesn't imply ignore it because that makes it safe. After my post H2Andy seems to provide stats...

... and slow definitely makes it safe ... perhaps you've heard the polar ice caps are melting ... who cares about the future, its just too distant to worry about. <sigh>.

Unless of course your pool is briney-brew-filtered (vs Chlorinated) :) Back to the original poster's point ... I'm not even sure the testing of many newly manufactured items comes into play much anymore. For example, anything built with 6 SIGMA in the electronics or manufacturing industry...

That's because as long as the fish doesn't look ugly or die BEFORE they sell it to you what do they care. They would be concerned only if it gave fish a 3rd eyeball or if green puss flowed from its gills or mouthparts ... simply because that might not look appetising to the PAYING consumer.

I get the dreaded red X on all imgs. Anyway we can copy them to scubaboard for long term posterity?

Tilos is solid. Never heard of Akonus ... Akonas? Tilos regularly on sale for 125 round these parts, but 90 is a steal.

Oh and Rick I'm happy to see a valuable and meaningful discussion round these parts (finally) ... I gave it 4 stars.

I've only heard one burst disk blow ... it was on a dive boat ... its owner blamed it on poor maintenance. I'd say the only concern in increasing the burst point is if the rating on the (tankpressure + 10%) < BurstPressure ... that would cover a fire.

Stunned is an understatement, just tragic. My sincere condolances to his family, loved ones, and friends, I'm very sorry for your loss.

The round-window in my left ear blows out at least once a year, despite all my precautions its just so sensative. You want to be careful not to plug your nose, attempt to equalize (in or out of water), fly, or get sick (I know little control over this last one), but the key is avoiding pressure...

Hmm I'm getting errors trying to access the tube site ... anyone have an alternate link?

Hmm that's an interesting perspective. Do you have any medical documentation references or materials to support this conclusion?

Another Alert message issued a little less than a week ago. Full PDF found at: http://www.dhs.ca.gov/ps/ddwem/environmental/Shellfish/PDFs/Pressrelease.pdf >>> Carrie Wilson 4/4/2006 4:15:26 PM >>> News Release CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT...

Wow, now that's a big intention :) I'm shooting for something a bit smaller like training a dog to mellow its innate traits, or planning for my next scuba dive. But we all need goals (sorry for the bit of pessimism).

Reviewing releases, equipment design and rig config is definitely required. Putting your buddy through the complexities of digging out your rear mounted weights in an emergency something entirely different. The MAJORITY of your weight should always be quick release. Some weight in the back...

True but the point of the quick release design doesn't need to be justified ... its easy to locate, clearly marked, and once released it's easy to get around any of the snags you mentioned. In the event of a serious emergency your buddy would pull your cords 20% of your weight would drop out and...

Of course there was the thread of Dave the guy that did the 880 foot dive with a CCR and I think the record for deep dive on scuba is deeper right? Anyway the parts of your body that are incompressible can probably survive to 8,000 feet (being 98% water and all) ... its the compressible bits...
