This is stupid. Bemoaning that a research project is junk because the average consumer can't use it misses the point of a research project. A lot of scientific and research equipment can't be used by the average Joe, and has very little implication on their lives.

The reason it was posted here is because in Computer Science more then any other field the line between professional and research is blurred more then ever.
