If you need software distribution, inventory collection, etc. Novadigm's products are thoroughly cross-platform (Windows, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Linux, etc.) and best-of-breed. Kind of pricey though. How big is your installation?
You're taking a gamble if you don't do anything to lower the temperatures of your components. Some quiet squirrel-cage style fans mounted appropriately can circulate enough air to lower temperatures considerably (20degF higher than ambient is likely attainable, of course depending upon the internal layout of the cabinet).
Use more, larger, slower-turning fans to keep things quiet. Baffles also help reduce the noise while only minimally impacting airflow.
I'd help but I'm no C programmer... and C++ is plain evil (in my opinion) I dont know GTK, or Qt (Please PLEASE stay with GTK so I can use it with xfce or another window managet that is sane in size and resources needed)
You don't need a special WM to use a Qt application. Or even a KDE application.
Opera uses Qt. Look at the size of that, why don't you? Even statically linked it's small enough.
Does your card issuer provide single-use card numbers for "risky" transactions? I know my Discover Card does. Not only does it make fraud that much more difficult, it also prevents vendors from "subscribing" you to anything.
Doesn't help very much with meatspace transactions, but for that just make sure you get all your receipts and stay away from shady businesses.
Not only do you have the detuned cases, but you've also got turbo cars with modest factory boost levels. A software modification can easily raise the boost a few PSI and remain well within the tolerances of the turbo and the fuel/atmosphere you're feeding it. You can take a 150HP car stock and move it to 200HP with a piece of software (case in point: the VW/Audi 1.8T engine).
Also, not all 'chips' are piggybacks; many are actually reverse-engineered and modified stock ECU software. Probably the best example of this is what Garrett of GIAC is doing.
The Pseudoacoustic Infector from Rane allows you to add a little bit of "This" and "That" to your audio. It also has BOTH "Power" and "Glory" switches, and a complement of other interesting features, plus a number of in jokes.:)
Another (newer) classic. I'm sure this WOM could be used in creating a digital version of the same.
I've used PC104 LCD video cards before. You can probably find some interesting stuff (like PC104 LCD controllers) at http://www.earthlcd.com/.
Additionally, there are many PC104 SBC's with built-in LCD controllers that drive a number of popular displays. See http://www.sbc-pc104.com/ for a list of manufacturers.
These are kits available through Jameco (http://www.jameco.com/) and other places (http://www.audioxpress.com/). I also agree with the above poster that the Radio Shack n-in-one "kits" are good for beginners. They require no soldering, and it's easy to assemble/tear down projects. That, and they're cheap. The manuals are notoriously short on explanation though, so they're best teamed with some real instruction.
Like a security camera in a stairwell or something? In that case you can use motion detection to start/stop recording and save well over 100:1. The choice of video codec is going to be important if it's for security (so faces, etc. can be recognised), but if not, you can crank the compression ratio up quite high on most codecs, especially the video codecs that do frame-by-frame motion differencing (i.e. not MJPEG).
It's merely a safety measure to limit the top speed of the car to stay within the design parameters of the tires, or other parts of the car. It's not mandatory for manufacturers to implement it.
Wrong! Thank you for playing... The audi A8 and TT have an aluminum body...
The TT doesn't have an aluminium body, merely a few minor body panels, and visual accents. The A8 has an Al space frame, body panels, ad infinitum. The Honda Insight (A really cool gas/electric hybrid) has an all-aluminium body, as does the Panoz Esperante and the Panoz AIV Roadster (AIV = Aluminium Intensive Vehicle). The Audi A6 has an aluminium bonnet to save weight, and various other cars use Al in various minor parts as well, mostly for weight savings.
California PC Products makes great cases, and has an 8U high case, and a 20 slot 4 segment backplane for it (allows 4 PICMG SBCs), with 13 drive bays. Check out the "13 bay rack server" and the list of passive backplanes at http://www.calpc.com/.
I've had good luck using the Cyrus IMAP server and the Exim mail transfer agent (MTA). The Cyrus server handles POP3 and IMAP, and stores the mail in an internal file per message format, and is designed for hosting mailboxes for those without accounts on the system. I've found both Exim and Cyrus to be fast, secure, scalable, and stable for thousands of customers, and I don't see any trouble scaling it further.
Not to burst anyone's bubble, but this system is just a re-skinned version of Intel's SC450NX server platform. The machine is made by Intel for system integrators. You can find the Intel information at http://developer.intel.com/desig n/servers/SC450NX/. The company I run sells systems based on these, and the placement of the status LEDs, the lock, and other things that I can see in the pictures in the PDF that's found in a comment above are exactly the same.

Because apps still matter for servers, too. Linux has a lot of server software but I can't think of any example of an RDBMS or similar software on Linux that supports clustering for either scalability or availability. Having apps isn't good enough; they have to do what you need, too.

xterm is big because of the Tektronix graphical terminal emulation.

Maybe even Barry Lyndon (3+ hour back AND neckache...)
Don't know about the earlier ones (Dr. Strangelove, Lolita, etc.). Would be absurd, though

VLIW is roughly synonymous with multiple parallel instructions per instruction word. Which is what makes the IW VL. :)

There are devices that plug into servers and PCs that let you set time from broadcasted NIST time signals.
NIST used to have a modem dial-in time server, but I'm not sure of its whereabouts as of late.

You'd need a 7905, and tie the + from the convertor to ground, and the - to the 7905.
