Track drug trials...
Len, your link does say 'FDA'. In my current semi-robotic stage, I assumed 'DEA'. That does give a real different viewpoint to expectations. FDA brought me quickly back to earth.
Speaking of 'robotic', has anyone seen the movie, "I, Robot"?
The villain company there is called "U.S. Robotics". I once owned stock in a modem company with that same name (USRX). They were bought out by 3Com.
I was wondering whether there might be any conflict there, given the high-tech tendency to sue for violations of trademarks, patents, intellectual properties, etc. Evidently, there's no problem (or a prior agreement).
"USR also hopes to achieve a small marketing boost through the release of I, Robot, a feature film based on science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov's short stories. USR was named after U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men Inc., the fictional company that created Asimov's robots. In the movie, however, the name of the fictional company will be shortened to "U.S. Robotics," complete with a futuristic new USR logo, Pryzgoda said. The movie, originally pitched as Hard Wired, was fitted to the Asimov stories later in development."
