The problem there was that the TV cameras cut to Hushovd lying on the pavement covered in blood and in clear pain, so the TV (and online) commentators assumed that he'd crashed either during or immediately after the sprint for the line.
They were great machines for a school environment. My old school had two labs of them maintained by the head of department (as they were virtually zero-maintainence and almost impossible to break). When I visited him a couple of years after leaving schoolthey'd switched over to PCs and had to hire a full-time technician to keep on top of all the problems.
That was really just an optical trick - the water flowing 'up' the ramp was actually flowing down it, with bubbles underneath the ramp giving the appearance of motion in the other direction.
Over the last ten years or so most of the banks in the UK have upgraded their ATMs, replacing the old green-screened units with new, colour-screen equipped ones. Functionality is in the most part unchanged aside from a few minor features (such as the ability to top up pre-paid mobile phone accounts), and the heavier use of the machines to display advertisments.
What has changed, however, is that the machines operate slower than the old ones - a good few seconds on every transaction which results in longer queues.
They're using head (or rather, helmet) mounted displays to present the map and trace lines to the riders - it's a poor-man's version of the rigs used to present information to apache helicopter pilots.
*If* you really need Sparcs and *if* you can afford them, I don't see why you'd run Linux on them. Solaris
seems to do just fine in that case!
Becasue there's a lot of sparc32 hardware out there going cheap (take a look a Ebay sometime), that Sun have dropped support for as of Solaris 8. If you want up to date software (IPv6 support, for example) on your IPX, you have to run something other than Solaris.
If I'm going to set up a mission-critical server, I want something that will not die. I don't want to have to keep rebooting it with new kernels.
A good target, but pretty unatainable. I've yet to see an OS that is rock solid reliable - Linux has problems, HP-UX has problems, Solaris has problems, NT has problems. The most you can get is that when a problem arises that impacts a production system, you can get it fixed in as short a time as possible.

The 'Jack' unit is metal, so I expect most of the heat will just radiate out of the front.

Is this progress?
What, like One of these?
Yeah, but it's still not the same a real Guinness from a keg.

That they did, in fact the Itanium is able to transcode PA-RISC instructions so most PA-RISC code will run unmodified on Itanium machines.
You cat get spools of this stuff (usually in green) from gardening stores - just cut it to the length you need.
A lot of things. See http://opensource.hp.com/
That's the development branch (wipe-wip).
There is also a stable production branch - see the sourceforge site, which is fairly mature.
There is: WIPE.

Unless they are going to create new drivers, copying this is as easy as running it in a sandbox and intercepting the input to the sound card drivers.
Two words SoundBlaster Live Just play the stream through one of those (or any other card with a digital mixer, and you get a carbon copy anyway

Shit. Time to write to the MP Methinks...
