> ImageMagick can do everything from image conversion to probably running a nuclear reactor. Please, someone chime in that they use 'convert' in some process a

  At my first job, our lab worked closely with the local TRIGA research reactor, and I did write and run some Java code that analyzed data collected in it. The Java license has always prohibited its use in nuclear reactors, but I figured a little offline analysis would be OK. The results didn't influence the use of radiation in any way. ImageMagick is old enough and I used it regularly back in the day, but I think (it's been 20 years) most of the data I got was just raw numbers so there probably wouldn't have been much call for it. I was also working on some (non-nuclear) image processing algorithms at the time, so it's quite likely I ran 'convert' on my laptop while inside the reactor building.
