Your SSN was stolen by a hacker. He stole your identity. Have a nice day.
Good Job on Babelfish's side, although the original german expression was very simple and the last sentence expressed in a more-english-than-german-only-literally-translated style. This might have helped Babelfish.

But then again, peltiers would need a higher amperage than your average net equipment so the parent still has a point. I hadn't thought of this.

It's the peltier element that's the key here. Using electricity you can make one side of it turn really cold (I think into negative degrees C) while the other side gets hot (very simplified). In the article: "I discovered that the thermometer could not display temperature under 0C". The resulting heat on the hot side gets blown off by the fan. The cold side is attached to the beer mug. I think the surrounding temperature doesn't matter that much here.

Ever heard about PoE (Power over Ethernet)? While not really a standard yet (afaik) it seems to work.
Now you would have a window manager that can act like any other window manager out there. But to do this, imagine just how many config options there would be for this one window manager?
It would be a good standard which you can base choice on. I wasn't talking about removing choice but about setting a good standard.
Don't get me wrong, I like choice. I like it almost as much as cleanness, good design, maintainability etc. It's just that I think that the "choice" is in the wrong place here. Too many wm projects are started because instead of working together, people start something on their own. This basically goes for anything, not just window managers.
Basically, my own thinking resembles that. "Everything else is f*cked up, I start something on my own and do it The Right Way[tm]". In the end, every project that gets started like this ends like this in another person's view.
Maybe it's all doomed to be the way it is, I don't know.:)
Yes, all you are going to hear is "but you have more choices!" "choice is good". While I'm not too intimate with the inner workings of window managers I often wonder if it's really that hard to make one wm that is well-designed, customisable, extendable, etc. so that you could mimick every other wm out there while relying on one source base.
Too often I find people mix up "choice" with "a good standard". I'm not trying to shove one design down everyone's throat here but rather the idea of one wm that used a standard config format to describe every possible detail of the look-and-feel. Think of HTTP and browsers. The wm itself would be HTTP here while the layout description would be the analogy of the browser. You still get your choice how it looks and feels (and I think that is what most people really care about) while everyone used the same wm.
You can use the mouse to manipulate windows either by click/dragging the 1 pixel border, or by holding down Alt and doing so anywhere in the client window.
Must be a lot of fun to use at 1600x1200. I guess this boasts sales of gamer's mice with ultra-high accuracy.:)

You are right. He said "I got male, I got male, I got male, I got male" though.
Eminem got awarded for best male role and said: "I can't believe I beat Mariah for 'Glitter'".
While I can't believe it either it still puzzles me.

Wouldn't that be great?
you do not need to click the 1px border to move it. You can hold down alt and click anywhere in the window.
:P
Yes, as I quoted. Now stop spoiling my jokes
Wouldn't it make more sense to drag a window by moving *the window* than having to find that ~10-20px tall title and move it?
Of course this makes sense, for example when you want to move a window out of the top of the screen.

Can you tunnel udp over SSH? I didn't think you could?
I don't think so either, but NFS can be run over TCP as well as UDP.

Of course, I only do this when the company is paying me to do so.

bs=512 is woefully inefficient. For modern hard disks try 32768 or 65536.
