Another idea, you could etch the patern into the metal using acid or electoplating. just paint the design in reverse using a template, then acid dip. Or paint the patern, then put it in salt water with a difrent kind of metal, and run some electricity through it. ahould create a nice etch. This is the basic idea: http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/projects/split_h2o.h tml
Personally, I think painting my hardware is on the level with doing burnouts in front of the high school with my bitchin Camaro that I will fix up someday. It does nothing for system performance, and can't imagine what it's doing to the thermal properties of the card. It's just tacky. Really tacky. If you have that much energy you should concentrate on Doing something a little harder
Sounds like you went to a suck-ass school. The classes in my area are far more open minded about their ties to technology. Far more open minded than you apear to be.
"art students liked to price the cheeziest bit of crap at several thousands of dollars and many went off to sell similarly cheezy crap to corporations for even more inflated prices."
If they were able to sell it, I guess it's not that cheezy then, is it.. Art, unlike most of science, is SUBJECTIVE. You like what you like, adn hate what you hate. Just because someone else loves something you don't, is no reason to climb on your high horse. It makes you look dumb. Obviously the moderators can see the dumbness coming through, as no one bothered to grace you with carma.
Hi, Just an update. Some yahoo managed to get CodeRed inside our firewall where it's running rampant. At one point, the gigabit connection to the Internet was at 90% utilization. We are in the process of finding and patching all servers now. We have several hundred affected machines. Most of the resources from at least three IT organizations are working on this now.
Britney Spears: The relative value to the human race of shooting her into space (V=WxA Value=Weight x anoyance)is still lower than the aforementioned dinosaur. Once the commercial viability is set, we may be able to raise private contributions. Perhaps a bake sale.
Cher: Not worth the trouble, she is almost dead already.
N'Sync: V value again is low, and with the entire band, the payload would be enormous, unless we shoot them up one at a time. They would be worth considering for the test launches though...
Michael: Aerodynamically, the best specimen, (the nose..)However he can afford good lawyers.
HI,
I am attempting to procure government financing for an aerospace project. I would like to see USA be the first country to put a fat bloated purple dinosaur into orbit around the sun. Code name "Taco". I have managed to scrounge several 8' 2x4's, a cinderblock and a 55 gallon drum, as a proof of concept. If anyone has access to a pulse rocket, or dynamite, we may be able to take the next step.
Contact poison dosn't have the sociological "Impact" that blowing a hole in his head imparts. After all, with poison, you could still have an open casket funeral. With the laser, it's a little tougher.
Wouldn't this be a wonderful assassination method for the CIA? Imagine, Fidel baby killer comes home late at night after an evening of drunken totalitarian debauchery. Weaving slightly, he places his drunken and obviously dilated eye up to the scanner, then, suddenly, BLAMIE! A dime-sized hole is instantly drilled through his skull by the megawatt laser cleverly installed by Joe operative. Once again, the world is safe.
The most powerful tool for doing what you are asking is going to be Microsoft SMS. The client piece can me installed through Novel login scripts, NT login scripts, by hand, or whatever. It can do hardware auto-discovery and monitoring, produce a list of what type of PC's, what hard drives and NIC's are present,..ECT... It can also push out software updated and automatically uninstall software that doesn't belong. It is a little pricey, but it should do everything you want and more. We are in the middle of an SMS roll out now, and it's looking cool.
Speaking as on who spent better than nine years shocking the crap out of myself on these, I can agree the hastle is not worth the effort. Instead of going over old ground, let me say this. The lens quality, while "comperable" to a 35mm camera is still crap. The focus is fixed, there is no exposure compensation. The film will recieve indiquate exposure with an underpowered flash. These cameras are for inexperianced users who are not particulatily picky. Don't bother. spend the $200 and buy a camera with autofocus and a real exposure system. You will be much happier. Yes, you can make tazers out of the old flashes.
The year was 1999, the earths moon has been thrown from it's orbit and women were still feathering their hair.....
how's that asteroid idea look now ? hu???

Thanks. Check out the other stuff as well. The flowers made from floppy disks have been very popular.

Would like to welcome our new overloard...
After reading the article, that may actualy be a posibility. He has memorized, on first read, over 7600 books. jesus.

well, as soon as we found the extent of the open servers, we did cut off port80 on the FW for three days. back up now, everything patched.

would it take a military spec joke for you to recognise one?

Crud....
The goal, .. of course,.. is for faster porn....
Anyone got a guess on the availability? The fiber I mean,.. not the porn.....
Microsoft RULES!!
They were busted for posting threats, or something.. about a game who's main point is to kill the enemy.... the irony is simply delicious.
No.. I think it Space:1999...
Remember,..the moon base..
The year was 1999, the earths moon has been thrown from it's orbit and women were still feathering their hair..... how's that asteroid idea look now ? hu???
