my doggie redux

Friday, April 22nd, 2005

assuming she gets along well with my landlord’s dog grits (hopefully find that out monday), which she should since she likes to wrestle, this will be my new doggie. her name right now is angel, but i’m thinking of changing it to either mira or medea (maddie for short). she’s a 10-month old black lab/greyhound mix. very sweet, a little excitable, but quiet. look for her with me on tuesday *crosses fingers*.

Here’s the next stroke of genius from Dubya Rex. The document itself might seem innocent enough, but the comments from the APS officer show (some of) the danger. I’ll post the entire letter as a comment.

The operation of export-controlled instrumentation by a foreign national working in your department would be considered a “deemed export”, even if that person were engaged in fundamental research. As a consequence, a license would be required for each affected foreign national (student, staff or faculty member) and for each export controlled instrument. Typical export-controlled instruments are high-speed oscilloscopes, high-resolution lithography systems, high-end computers and GPS systems.
