who did that about once a week. No hacking needed - simple mechanical glitches and design flaws did the job,.I don't know if it had a thermal switch at all, as the room's main fuse used to blow just before "Laser Harris" would catch fire after having lit up all the paper in the sorter. It was quite a vicious construction. It never produced a classic paper jam, but the printed sheets sometimes did not get cleanly ejected but piled up between the outlet and the sorter causing the printer to overheat and finally catch fire.
It also had some unshielded metal surfaces that would discharge on me whenever I removed.the paper tray too carelessly.
Seriously. Ok...halfways: Datacenters have got double floors and ceilings, lanes between rows and rows of racks where the wiring (and the heat) are going. They've got highly efficient power-sources, optimized air-flow concepts that make use of thermal differences instead of fans etc. pp. They can handle AC or DC, copper and fiber and whatever.
Now have a look at my desk, where my "mobile" computer is - spun into a bizarre, organic -or parasitic- fabric of USB-cables, CAT6 (wireless sucks, when you are trying to keep latency low and MIDI-sync intact) and AC adapters. Incredible lots of these shitty little bastards that will block two or three outlets, produce heat, static,AC-buzz, chaos, madness and most likely deseases, terror and tiny electro-slums. I've got an Akai LPD8 connected by USB, an Akai APC20 (1xUSB, 1xDX that will run into another direction and fraternize with the wiring invasion from...) a notorious self-powered USB-Hub (1x6V DC, 1xUSB to Computer, 6 Ports used by...) a Rane SL1 (4xAudio IN, 8xAudio Out, 1x -guess what- 9V DC with it's own, ugly little adapter), a Yamaha UX-16 (bus powered, but USB+2xMIDI connecting with a) Boss DR660 (2xMIDI, 4xAudio and it's own #+*&%! 7.5V DC) all that on a battle mixer (with it's own 10V DC adapter) and -of course- the source of all evil, my Wire Notebook - with it's own 20V DC. Oh - and I have a 19" rack, too. Inside are an Aphex Type C (24V AC(!)), compressor/limiter (9V AC) light (12 DC), flanger (9V DC) and a fan (12V DC) to cool all the other fricking little adapters, all with their own funny little incompatibe connectors, way too long cables, crummy voltages. And year after year this is getting worse.
Now look at your own setup. Maybe you've got just an all-in-one box, netbook or the like with next to no wires connected, maybe you're cursed with even more low-voltage-jungle - and now multiply to millions of homes light years of LV wiring, swarms of nasty little connectors... What the world needs is some damn standard to get these devices powered by a single source to get the wires away from where they never were meant to be.
Who cares if datacenters run AC or DC inside as long as they have one common mains line? They might run 12V or a kV, it really doesn't make that hell of a loss that the common households are producing with no change -at least none to the better- in sight...
Well so far it's better then this thing. This thing uses meta data to gather search keywords rather then what google does which is inspect the content of a site. Google inspects the content of PDF, flash and html documents, this thing doesn't do anything.
I don't know where you've got this information from - nothing like this is mentioned in the linked article or on YaCys site at all. But as I ran a YaCy node some months ago when it still was beta there were plugins to read PDF and flash, I also know for sure that it actually crawled and indexed the content of HTML pages, not just metadata as you are claiming.
Honestly, DRM keeps me from spending a single cent on computer games. As a musician and VJ, I need a responsive low-latency system and full control over my hardware. The unwanted crap that almost any game will install is just unacceptable for me. So it's no games for me. And for pretty much anyone who has to rely on his machine it's just the same.
I once blew up such an electolytic apparatus -including a "pressure resistant" Erlenmeyer-cylinder- at the chem lab. Idiot that I was, I held a cigarette lighter to the nozzle to check if the reaction was successful. It was.
Really violent experience. It was a real miracle noone got hurt.
FIrst of all - RIM ("Blackberry") are not running "centralized mail servers". They only connect your smartphone with your IMAP mailbox (say: your existing email account) and do the HTTP-push and wireless part. Their core business was (and probably still is) some sort of middleware between companies' email and calendar servers and employees PDAs and phones.
Secondarily: Any smartphone that provides a regular IMAP client or lets you install one will perfectly meet your needs. Almost any smartphone will do. You'll just connect to your actual mailbox via SMTP through the internet, as you do now. No Google involved (unless you are using Gmail). My girlfriends stone-aged Motorola can do this out-of-the-box and so does my Blackberry (I use a BB, but not RIMs data service, just my wireless network provider's regular data plan)
Nah, a copy of The Bible in HTML would be far more welcome. There's a reason Christianity is more common than Ubuntu!
You mean we sould force our children into open source instead of painfully converting grown ups? That's not a bad concept at all. I just feel incomfortable about the idea of RMS declaring himself Linux Pope...
I share your opinion, but you should know that the "Soviet XY" terminology has been hijacked by the ultra-right wing. So your comment might easily be misunderstood.
Yes. What we see here is the fine art of siphoning off money from the educational budget (and a lot of other entities with no connections to the pr0n industry) for no service at all. Basically the same scheme as the IP industry cashing in on everybody, consumer or not, by default (or by decrete).
There's another reason for this: The primary goal of parties is winning elections. They nowadays are so busy with self-marketing, PR and market analysis, they are more than grateful to private entities taking away the burden of lawmaking from them.

For an anti-censorship site this means a massive faux-pas.

Why do you hate our Lord, the almighty Climate Antichrist so much?
but I don't think, I can let you get distracted, Dave...
Gutenberg, not "Guttenberg". Sorry if I seem pedantic, but for heaven's sake, please, don't confuse these two.
I want one, too! Can I preorder?

We have alternating current, you know.

There seems to be no strong statistical evidence in any European region, that bottled water might prevent dehydration.
We have 230V alternating current here, you know.
You mean "sugar beet is a vegetable" - because that's what's really in there first of all.

socially adequate, Not our fault that "society" stinks!! Fsck you!! #+ø*!! I Cleaning woman?!! CLEANING WOMAN?!
I think the real question here is why all UIDs under 2,000,000 don't do marketing for MS.
Stupid question. We're too old.

Where else should they build their giant structures? Private backyards?
The really funny thing is that I personally know GEMAs database admin. He's a former band-mate of mine. (No joke.)

Oh, I thought, that was what "IKEA" means.
