KaK Worm was pretty close. It's been around for a while, but i'm still cleaning it out of some customer's machines. It used a script in the signature to infect a user, so really all you'd hafta do is view the email and it'd run the attatched file for you. Pretty slick virus, but had some downfalls. Easy to clean out, no interesting payload, and extremely easy to detect(a.hta file in your Start Up folder)
I looked into incorporating here in Minnesota. Just the filing fee was three hundred(IIRC), plus I'd have to had a lawyer to get all the papers straight... few thousand there. And no, you can't skip the lawyer this time:)
One company i worked with just had a branch non-profit incorporated... i think it totalled some $2600 when they were done...
One of my friends worked as IT support person at a local university. I think he was hired as an independant contractor. Within a year he was gone and the other personnel(ones hired directly) stayed. It was MUCH easier to terminate his contract than to fire an employee, due to having to pay severance for a regular employee.
This is the reason I didn't take a job in a different IT department there, they wanted to hire me as an independant... easy to let go if the position became unneccesary...
Microwave Power? Like SimCity 2000?

I remeber those microwave power plants in SimCity 2000. They were expensive, but put out tons of power... only thing was.. if it missed:) I lost 2 million people, and the fires took a year to put out! haha:)
Serously though, is the moon such a good idea for the collector? For one thing... it rotates, so either you only get power to the night side of the earth for 14 days, or you put more than one collector/emitter on it(probably more than a few sets too!)
And, in case nobody has noticed, it doesn't stay in the same spot in the sky!!! It's gonna be a bitch to aim the microwave stream from a moving platform. Talk about SimCity!!! Your gonna carve a stripe aound the earth!!! Well, actually, it shouldn't start massive fires all over the place, but geez, i dont want 2Gwatts fireing down on my house, that'll fry everthing peice of electronics that i own. Besides, that's ALOT of wasted power if it goes uncollected.
I think i'm liking the geo-sync sattelite idea better:)

heh.. and does MSN Messenger insessantly load on all the machines. That'd b great, i can check my hotmail while waiting 5 min for my transaction to complete.
Better yet, maybe they leave the remote adminstration enabled by default:->
How can ANYONE believe everything in a forum as fact! 80% of slashdot is BS!:)
As for the libel comment part...
Its legal to rip on people/companies if i'm expressing my opinion...
but if its FACT that the company/person DOES suck... its libel?
So.. its OK to BS, but illegal to tell the truth hehe
Gotcha, makes sense not to have a video/sound card then. If with the Sun system you can use a serial console, you can save the resources that an unused video/sounds system takes.
I've used mostly x86, and get too used to having a monitor hooked up to any machine 'cuz if i need to do anything major(i.e. reinstall), a remote terminal just dont work.
This is a significant blow to the notion that technology will forge a more open world.
I have to ask, but since when is technology developed to promote freedom(directly). In our history, most technological advances have been developed to control, in fact, the military and their wars have been the biggest influence in technology developement.
Take, for example, the internet. Sure, now we regard it as one of the biggest freedoms in the world, the freedom of speech in one of its purest forms. I don't see why the military would have helped develop it for that purpose!
Really, if you look at current projects, you'll see more control-centered than freedom-centered development, with the possible exception of the OpenSource Movement. Encryption, Remote Administration, Standard OSes, Backdoors, Firewalling, Blocking, National ID, X-ray machines at every door, network monitoring....
These are technologies ment to control elements of society, not promote freedom. However, some may make freedom easier in time.
Take, for example, the corporatist American and European companies happily selling blocking software
That's called capitalism... our 'free' enterprise. Sell what can be sold were it can be sold. Otherwise to prevent companies from selling blocking sofware to companies, you'd hafta have a government that controls the enterpise. Sounds suspiciously like communism. Don't bitch about something unless you consider it's alternative!!!
Under capitalism, we are controlled buy the currency and consumers, under communism, we are controlled by the government and the whims of its leaders. There is no true freedom in economics, if there were, we would have no need for economics.
Is it just me, or does that look like my parents old Black and White Zenith TV that got run over by a steam roller.
Seriously! Wats with the off-center screen, and the knob looking things at the side!! DAMN that's waaay to retro.

Microwave might work... but with the same caveat:)
I do find however that the worst wire to work with is the power wires. Its stiff.. and finding damn OUTLETS!!! i've got WAAAY too many surge strips already!
I can file and pay taxes online, both state and fedreal, check and renew vehicle registration, register for schools, both secondary and post-secondary, check if i'm a registered sex offender:), or on the FBI's most wanted list hehe.
Really though, we i would have to agree with the first post(WOW an ONtop FP!!! kudos!!) We are a slightly larger country. And we have these things called states. Most things listed in the French Online Govt are done by our state level Govt. And, at least my state, impliments quite a few online accesses. I still say there could be more though, but it is getting there. And as for a Federal Online Govt... well... off hand there's not much i can think of that i'd really need/want access to, at least nothing that i don't have alread.
That, and security converns... Identity theft is already too easy with many multiple databases. But, if you could get someone's SSN and pull up EVERYTHING in the MasterList. WOAH.. too easy!

Good point. A jetliner is relatively 'cheap' compared to something like a shuttle. %-)
And i'm guessing a company interested in something like that is going to be a little more professional than our airlines seem to have been.
My main point was the irony of it. The fact that most of our government has gone "control freak" (ie, making passenger screeners fed employees). while NASA wants to publicize something of this magnatude
KryoTech Inc had/has a product that is basically a refridgerator for your PC. Been around for at least 2 years( the first 1gig athlon i saw.. months before the 900's were out was an overclocked 850 with their cooling system)

Of course, the integrated video and sound is not very important to us, as the system runs headless mounted in a rack.
Just a thought, but video would be really handy for the install, i'm guessing!
So... anyway, in short it looks like they took a workstation and dropped a shitload of ram into it... big deal
