Jul 6th 2008 10:31PM The advice at the link sucks.
Never put your laptop through first, because if you're held up at the screening, your laptop is an easy target for the people who are already through. Send all of your other stuff ahead, hold on to your laptop as long as possible, and then push it through the X-ray when you're walking to go through the metal detector.
If you're held up, there's a good chance everyone else on the other side will have already left by the time all of your other stuff goes through.

Apr 7th 2008 9:30PM To the first comment that anyone could have made these 10 years ago - in fact, I (and many of my classmates) did. Texas Instruments had a popular DSP kit that went for about $100, and it was child's play to write the software, hook up some standard electrodes, and get an ECG that looked pretty damn good.

SanDisk drops a patent lawsuit bomb, sues 25 companies for infringement {Engadget}
Oct 24th 2007 11:16PM Great explanation. The "rocket docket" can help the defendants too, though. Discovery can be a royal pain in the ass, and when you're on a rocket docket, the judges are much more lenient about what has to be produced.
If you're on a trial schedule that allows for a year or more of discovery, the court is not going to buy a defendant's argument that they don't have the time to find some documents. But when you have a case that goes from filing to discovery to *trial*, all within a year, when defendants bitch about digging up backup tapes lost in storage, the judge is more receptive.
