What on earth?    
i just got a huge pile of shopping, and i was stunned by how many types of can are unstackable.
by unstackable i mean that another can of the same product cant neatly stand on top of another,
they just slide off.

the following did not stack:
heinz anything ( soup, beans, ravioli(sp?))
tuna( small cans only, large cans were fine.)
baxters soups
kidney beans ( large and small cans )

What's the deal? why make cans so they cant be stacked? I'm sure that about 5 years ago i didn't have this problem, then one day nothing was stackable.

The Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model, or the OSI model, was developed by the International Organization for Standardization,(ISO).
The OSI model is a layered model that describes how information moves from an application running on one networked computer to an application running on another networked computer. In essence, the OSI model prescribes the steps to be used to transfer data over a transmission medium from one networked device to another.
It is in fact an evolution fo the Department of Defence (DOD) model developed in the 1970s by the United States for the DARPA Internetwork Project that eventually grew into the Internet.

% GRAFT:  Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model, interchangeability
It is an abstract model that should influence the way network components are designed, to facilitate interchangeability, compatibility and standardization. 
In this sense it is one of the core artifacts that symbolizes and determines the pipeability of interconnected network infrastructure. On the other hand, the interconnectedness goes together with an enforcement of new standards and efficiencies which also determines which 'segments' fit in the pipe and which don't. i.e. the generalized desire for interactions that only broadband connection can facilitate also means an exclusion of previous network models that can't provide the bandwidth for streaming HD videos.

% GRAFT: Standards
Setting standards is always also a process of negotiation that inherently reflects hegemonic powerstructures of a time. Who gets to decide what the 'open standard' for a layer will be? Before the internet there was a plurality of computer networks and standards, from the american ARPANET to british NPL and french CYCLADES. The OSI Protocols that came with the 7-layer model, like the European standard X.25, had short life in competition with the American TCP/IP suite, related to the older DOD model.

The OSI model breaks the network communications process into seven separate layers. From the top, or the layer closest to the user, to down, closest to the hardware these layers are:

The Department of Defense (DOD) Four-Layer Model was developed in the 1970s for the DARPA Internetwork Project that eventually grew into the Internet:
    
 
The DOD model in fact reflects the current TCP/IP groups of protocols that currently make up the internet. So while the OSI Model is considered the standard for talking in the layer abstractions, the de-facto standard of protocols is inspired by the older DOD model.

What we bring to the Bazaar: 

8x ISO 10193-200 General use light gauge metal containers for food that represent both the DOD model and the OSI Model
3x Soft plastic based containers reverse compatible with ISO10193 tin cans to represent the Application Layer in the OSI Model.
2x BAOFENG UV5-R Non-FFC/BIPT Approved Dual-band Walkie Talkies
3x Audio cables 2.5mm Jack to 3.5mm Jack
3x Unitary Networking devices working on OSI Layers 1-2
1X Meshenger Unitary Networking device working on OSI layers 1-3 through layers 4-2

widespread use

gsm mobile networks
on top you can put the gprs stack

phone network also has own fiber through ocean, not over IP.

% GRAFT: unfinished business, shifting domains
From yu to me gives a sense of the office politics and working life around an emerging technology, of the meetings and business trips to far-off places necessary to develop an instrument that connects people, that closes the distance between you and me. Those details flesh out a time before .yu was canceled, dead, preserved in a museum collection, and Domanovi? wants her account of that time to approximate the openness that people who lived then felt, the unfinished work on .yu when a Yugoslavia with internet still seemed possible.[`]{Aleksandra Domanovic: From yu to me (2014) http://rhizome.org/editorial/2014/may/22/unfinished-business-yugoslav-internet/}
