Citylink's genesis dates back to the late 1980s, when Richard Naylor, IT manager for the city council, realized certain areas of Wellington were susceptible to power outages even at times when there was plenty of power in other parts of the city. A plant on one side of the city might suffer a shortage, while another remained at full power.
"We needed to balance the loads by connecting them," Naylor says. So he ran a fiber optic cable between the plants, allowing them to compensate by sharing power when one was hit by a shortage.
Distributing power over fibre optics, and already in the eighties ?? That's very advanced.
The dutch magazine Elektuur published a design for a device that allows a Gameboy to be used as an digital oscilloscope. See Some info in dutch about the device. The english sister-magazine elektor also published the design, but I can't find anything online about it, except the fact that it is published in issues 2000/10 and 2000/11. Using Google I found a page with screenshots about the device.
I think their database is not running on a Starcat

With a 1TB array you'll need lots of disks, no matter what type of disks you use. All those disks share the same PCI bus (I don't think you can get something with multiple PCI busses for <$5000). So the PCI bus will most likely limit
the bandwidth.
The only system which is truly secure is one which is
switched off and unplugged, locked in a titanium lined
safe, buried in a concrete bunker, and surrounded by
nerve gas and very highly paid guards.
Even then, I wouldn't stake my life on it.

I think switched off also includes the removal of the batteries from the mouse and keyboard.
You forget one big disadvantage against region encoding, especially when you do not live in region 1:
Some titles are not available in all regions.
Because we, as individual consumers, can't force big companies to release their movies in all regions, using region free DVD players (or multiple DVD players) is the only way a customer is able to see the movies he wants to see (and for which he has bought the rights to see it).
I'm not against the wish of the movie industry to delay the release of movies per region (not that I like it, but I can understand their motivation to do it), but I'm against the fact that some movies won't be available in all regions.
What the creators of the DVD format should have done is set a timer on the disks, which makes the DVD region free after a certain date.

Could do that, but I did not record the first 3 episodes. However, I do have the radioseries on mp3 (and the episode in 5 parts on paper).
The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy , which is broadcasted by the BBC these weeks :)

I wonder when we'll see someone implement rfc1149 using Space Shuttle technology.

Maybe to backup all those AOL cd's ??
Why do I need to buy a VHS recorder if I already have a DVD player ??

Securing a windows box is easy: remove all cables connected to it.
