I think the best solution for the little "Global Warming Problem" would be to use an active heat sink with a large fan and temp monitor.
If they can OC a celeron 233MHZ to 550MHZ, I don't see why this "Gloabl Warming" problem is such a big deal.
No seriously. If we can't cool the earth, why not just use all our 1950 Nuclear devices, refit the heads with garbage and trash and fire them at, oh let's say the moon.
Does it really matter anyways? I mean come on, we should all be dead by then. Mmm sweet death near looked so appealing...... or sexy (you got to love that little mini skirt she wears). Wait who was Death again, is it that goth chic with the fishnet stockings? Anyways I am ready to go.
Because experience shows that even a little bit of drug and alcohol use impairs your ability to act responsibly, so other people have to take that responsibility for you.
How do you firgure? At the end of the day when all your responsibilities are meet (work, school, socail clubs, etc) you smoke a joint before you go to bed. How is this inresponsibile? You don't have any responsibiles to do (done at the begining of the day), you aren't putting anyone else in danger, I fall to see your point.
It is like saying "Because experience shows that even a little bit of Diablo 2 and Quake 3 use impairs your ability to act responsibly, so other people have to take that responsibility for you"
Sure if you skip work to play Diablo 2, this probably isn't the healthes thing to do, but if the only time you play Diablo 2 is AFTER you get everything else done.

Right now, for example, if you want apache HTTPD threads at the kernel level, there is an option (in make menuconfig atleast) to include this support, it isn't included by default.
Couldn't it be worked out like that? Include the patch into the kernel, have it disabled by default, but have a accessiable method of readily adding support for it?
No I am not a kernel hacker or (real) programmer, that is why I am asking.

Besides at least in the United States you get paid 150% of your normal salary if you in fact do work any over time.
Uh, hmm someone sold you some wrong information bud. If you are on salary that company can legally work you up to 90 hours in some states a week (if not more), while only paying you for 40 hours of it.
If you are on hourly, they have to pay you time and a half (150%) for anything over 40 horus a week in most states.
Once you take the tempation that is salary, they screw you. Stay on hourly at all costs.
If you weren't so cynical and jaded you would realize this

When was the last time Microsoft, IBM, AT&T or Exton made any bussiness choice that wasn't based on the bottom dollar?
Sure they give employees sweet benifits, but they don't do it for the "good of it", they do it for the bottom line. If they can keep there employee happy though benifits, they won't have to hire someone new ever 5 months. If there turn over rate is low, they don't lose money from things like training, newbie screw ups, disguntle ex-employees going to other companies in the same field, etc. It is for the bottom dollar, plain and simple.
Oh and they give back to the community, how nice? Oh but you know what, if they have a good public image, they can sell more product, the more products they sell, the more there profits. *cough* bottom dollar again
Sure people can and do (alot actucally) good things, just to do them and not out of selfish reasons. People are general good, and I don't debate that. People are here on this planet to lead a full filling life (atleast that's my theogry) and most see doing "good" as part of the proccess.
But bussiness is there to make money, they hire CEO at a couple million to do nothing but increase profits at all cost, both short and low term. They don't spend millions of dollars on a CEO and huge marketing team to "do good unto others", they hire these people to "increase profits at ALL costs"
It might be a good idea for you to quit you job and/or move away from wherever you live, if your environment is what causes you to have such a dour view of humanity.
Oh, yea this envoirment sucks, it is called the REAL WORLD or since you seem like your from GenX, I will use the world REALITY, so you don't get it confused with that MTV show on TV.
I am cynical and bitter and would probably admit I am also jaded, if I knew what the defination of jaded was:)
I have been working in business since I was 14 years old (yea this is illegal in the US) and I am 22 years old know and still work in bussiness, so I know a little about how the system works.
And let me tell you, if you don't have extreme power of the company (ie. board member or CEO), than what you think is "good" or "evil" doesn't mean a crap to the people upstairs looking to buy there 4th house. The only thing you can do is quite or accept it. If you quite and get a differant job, it will have the same bull shit.
The next time your at work, walk directly up to the CEO and look him/her in the eyes and tell him/her "I think it would be better for the planet if instead of doing [insert your job function here], I could go down to the homeless shelter and dish out soup and give a hand there for the next 3-4 weeks." Here is a prime example of your fanasty meeting the real world. Oh and standard disclaimer if they fire you.
You won't need a hard drive, only ram. Boot the thing off floppy or CD-Rom, and store everything in ram, it has no moving part.
Put all the compents in a metal cage to protect em for damage.

A hard drive could skip or damage, but ram if well caged up and protected should suffer any ill effects.

expect me their employer to pay for training each time we want to explore new technology
If they are geek and enjoy the new technology, they will learn in on there own.
But if it is a "new technology" that was thought of by the employeer or manager monkey to "increase profits", you can forget it. Geek learn computers, because they want to learn computers, not because it raises company profits or you as an employeer don't see it fit to provide training.
Geeks want to be come enlightened in everything a computer does, they don't want to buy you a new car by putting in 20 hour days working with stuff they have no desire messing with (Ussually buggy commerical software)
Umm why do you need distribution panel that costs 3-5K? Just get a $0.98 roll of duct type, run the wires, put the wires up, duct tape the wires on the wall.
It looks like crap, but it is out of the way. And who really cares what it looks like? It's not like a geek house is the gathering point for the national elite, more than likely the only people that are going to see it is the housemates themselves.
"geek house" - a house that contains geeks, right?
So if you have a "geek" they are able to fit into the house right? Since when was there a "sex requirement" on being a geek?
If there geek, it doesn't matter if they are male or female. There are female geeks, although extremely rare, they do exist.
I meet one, once, I tried to tag her with a small GPS device, but she used some type of high freq wave to jam my tracking device...
Actucally I should of used the term "Gender Requirement", above. There is another "sex requirement" on geeks, but that that mainly states 'little or none';)
First these geeks lure in young attactive women with 56K analog connections, frozen pizza and anime re-runs on the Sci-fi channel. They give these women the first slice and download for free. After that, the overwelming urge to "be a geek" sets in.
Soon these women are trying the "hard stuff", Full blown unsat T1, "extra toppings" pizza and warezed unreleased anime from japan.
They know having a full dedicated T1 to their selves and doing nothing but using it for playing Q3. They know this is wrong, they know they should setup mirror of free software, but the hold is to strong on them, they want 100% of the fiber optic for fragging.
Then reality sets in, they must move out for some reason or another. Sure they can get 56K analog at their new place, but it isn't the same. Sure cable is avaiable, but the shared laggy connection doesn't give them the same rush a full T used to give them. They start shaking and waking up in cold sweets, they need bandwidth.
They then start trying to find their "fix" outside their current location, but going to sleezy locations like "cyber cafes" and "libraries" even "schools" and "college" to get their bandwidth fix, but it isn't the same.
It isn't the same rush, it isn't the same bandwidth, they get depressed and angry. They look for thigns to fill the void that was the bandwidth, but nothing is the same...
This is the reality of "geek houses"
