Top Ten Physics Experiments Of All Times
MarkedMan writes "The New York Times is running an article about the top ten physics experiments of all time. You may disagree with the order, but it is hard to imagine pulling any one of these from the top ten. And most of them could be done by a patient amateur, at least one with access to cannonballs." The Times article wraps up the work by Robert P. Crease mentioned a few weeks ago.

He took a board 12 cubits long and half a cubit wide
Even without knowing how much a cubit is I know how it looks like. But then...
(about 20 feet by 10 inches)
WTF?? 20 feet, that's about 20 / 3.3 is about 6 meters. And 10 inches, that's euh 25 centimers. Yeah, it still looks the same size but oh boy, 20 feet by 10 inches... *shudder*

No. 1 - Pull my finger!
No doubt number one!
I hate to be contradictory, but at one time Windows 95 *was* be a reliable server, believe it or not, and a pretty darn good one.
Just as an experiment to answer this very question, I set up a high-traffic web host as a server.
Zerion.com (a rather interesting phenomenon) was a web host for over 300 web sites, and ran on a single P233. During it's 1.5 year run it regularly transferred over 60-80GB per month, with a peak of 100GB/mo., serving over 1,000,000 requests with minimal downtime for disk maintenance per month.
Here's a typical report for February, 20001 for your perusal: http://www.zerion.com/logs/February/REPORT.HTML
It ran a router, email server, web server, ftp server, telnet daemon, VNC, and a watchdog. And, it ran in a remote area.

This is just hilarious...
I guess you are of those people who posted point-by-point rebuttals to the "Hacker" article on Adeqacy.
