   While all this is true, the process of moving from a prototype into production is a more or less solved problem. For example, there are a lot of companies that one can outsource the actual pick-and-place, assembly and packing to. The same g

   I don't know about Hebrew but I bet Arabic would be the language to know in 1000 AD if you were in Spain or Persia or many points in between.

    I occasionally wish there was a Journal of Negative Results. However, there is a real problem in that it is nearly impossible to properly interpret a negative result. Something might not work because you have a sloppy experimental technique
