Google already have the Hamina facility in Finland which has been using sea water to cool the centre since 2009/2011. They've had a good few years to start getting the kinks ironed out.
Take a look at NaviCat. They have versions that cover all of the major DB's including PostGres, it previews all code changes to a script window, will export scripts and has a free version.

I think what you're referring to is The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 which offers "...a right of access to mapped areas of mountain, moor land, down land, heath land and registered common land be it on tracks and paths or off them". It offers no provision of access to private property which is unfortunately classed as trespass and as such is illegal (albeit rarely punished).
Seeing as the owner of the property clearly marked the fact that the property was private then under the UK definition of trespass "Entry onto or possession of the property owned by another without the owner's consent" so Google wouldn't be legally allowed to enter to take photographs or otherwise. If you could see the house from a public road then fine but crossing private property to take the picture is a no go.
Storing the actual physical media seems like a waste of space. Maybe it'd be better to rip the CD's to an ISO, store the ISO on a file server (appropriately tagged and after running a hash check against the media and ISO to ensure you have a perfect copy) and ditch the real media. Ensure the file server is backed up and you have an arguably more robust system (losing the file server means resorting to backup, losing the physical media is a loss forever). Theres no reason why you cant keep the media for a week or month until your sure the server is thoroughly backed up.
Alternatively if you're hell bent on using up real space (tm) you may want to look into the Boltz system. 2400 CD sized items in a rack only a foot deep could lead to some interesting "filing room" options... even if it is slightly more geared toward the home market
Surely pay-for-search will be counter productive? Its common sense that in the business domain, the customer will always search for the lowest available price for the best service. As was pointed out, Google offer one of the best search sites on the net.
If they are wanting to offset some of their expenditure, surely it would make better business sense if they could protect these "premium documents" from search by other engines, therefore making Yahoo the only people able to search for them. Though, in my opinion, this would be not just hard to do, but the technical equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot...
Technology in this war will be useful only so-far as a means of limiting human casualties. All the smart-bombs and stealth bombers of the world though will have little bearing against a group of fanatics fighting for a belief rather than a thing of concrete and steel, and as such, its an almost impossible foe to defeat.
Yeah, so we can drop a bomb down somebody's chimney, but does that make a fanatic (whos now lost his family) impressed? Does it alter his believes enough to lift the blinkers and see the pain his government is causing? No, it just makes him more determined to murder the infidel. And besides, it isnt as if theres a lot in Afghanistan to actually bomb.
In my opinion there is no way that the allied nations can win this war against terrorism. Just as hercules faced the hydra, cut off one head and (at least) another will form in its place.
Just look at northern ireland for an example. The english have been trying for years to deal with the terrorist organisations. A ceasefire is called with the IRA and another disgruntled group who disageree with the peace process entirely springs up.
The soldiers themselves, having been exposed to the troubles are now as bitter toward the terrorists as they are to them, essentially cerating 3 sides of bitterness that will never really move forward.
Until we start to apply a doctrine of politics to these people to capture the hearts and minds of the people under the regime, then fighting is pointless. And all the talk of "Reasoning is useless" or "we want payback", is clearly a knee-jerk reaction. Yes, people are hurting now, but does that justify the eye-for-an-eye mentality?
The speed at which quantum computers could break current key based technology is phenomenal. Entirely new encryption methods based on new (quantum?) Algorithms would have to be invented 'cos if a quantum computer got in the hands of a criminal they could breeze through most anything...
They do have a more manual approach but due to the sheer quantity of links they receive it is still very diffcul to check every single one received. The french government is particularly incensed about online stores being able to sell french citizens Nazi related products.
Its important that we set the boundaries (or lack of) now. In france, the government is trying to make Yahoo! France ban sites from appearing on the search lists if they contain rascist material. They dont seem to understand that things like that usually appear only if you look for them and that it is virtually impossible to stop. As far as the internet and breaching geographical boundaries go, the genie is out of the bottle, and I dont think france has the power on its own to put it back...

The Geforce chip is Very, Very nice. It pastes 3DfX to a wall with their own spinal fluid and snaps the NVidia in two. Plus if like some people *smug* you have two monitors... well, its a very nice feature.
I just cant wait for the speculation thats going around to pan out and reveal the GeForce 512 and 1024... They should really up the Ante. The only thing that may compare is an alchemy board...
So they may be taxing goods ordered electronically? We already pay this for goods in our stores. Why shouldnt it apply? Well, the main points for this would be that:
It may stifle E-Commerce. Having higher prices may cause E-Commerce to become unjustly ignored. You are no longer getting something for cheaper (Especially with shipping charges) So less people may use it
It may also cause a less distributed E-Commerce powerbase. The reason? All the companies that see E-Commerce as a major leap will be wanting to move to areas like Texas where there will be no taxes. The result? Certain states will lose out on the job possibilities and revenue generated by having such companies resident.

Surely sir you have mistaken this for AACS? ohnowait...

Indeed, learn some history.
This has been written about before on the F-Secure security blog. There's also a nice pic of what all the different parts of bagel look like and how they interact.
