Shuttle SS50 Mini-system

Posted by michael on from the is-it-bigger-than-a-breadbox dept.

Jared writes: "Small Form Factor is taking off, Viahardware wrote a review on the new Shuttle SS PC. In a case about the size of a shoebox, you get Pentium 4 support, DDR memory, firewire, tv out etc. Great box for all kinds of uses like a media box for the living room, file server, gateway, LAN box. Slashdot posted about the SV24 last fall, and this is the follow up product. Very cool." We've looked at some other Shuttle systems before.

    "A man is not a good man to me because he will feed me if I should be starving, or warm me if I should be freezing, or pull me out of a ditch if I should ever fall into one. I can find you a Newfoundland dog that will do as much... What are a hundred [philanthropers] to us, if their philanthropy do not help us in our best state, when we are most worthy to be helped?"

    - Henry David Thoreau, "Walden"
    Philanthropy does not improve humanity. Sharing ideas with other intellegent people truely does improve humanity. Free Software is about open collabration which leads to ideas being innovated and advanced in a far greater manner than a single person could ever accomplish. We succeed as a species not because we are individually great but because together we become great.

    I respect someone who devotes their life selflessly to helping the poor survive, but I admire someone who devotes their life selflessly to the advancement of humanity.
