Uh, 10 blinks a second?  I can see the headlines now:

"NetBSD Project sued over Open Source OS user's Epileptic seizure, film at 11"

"``I saw him staring at the edge of his SPARCstation 20 with a glazed look on
 his face, then he just started having a seizure'', said his roommate Phineas
 J. Luser in a statement.  ``There was this green light blinking really 
fast''"
