When I want to copy entire directory trees to a remote system while preserving all file attributes: tar -czf - some_dir | ssh user@remote.host 'tar -C target_location -xzf -'
This also works when you want to copy something to a system that doesn't support scp (embedded devices)
You did not read the article, did you? Of course you didn't, this is slashdot! The article is talking about using the technology in the clothes and using the energy from that to power a cellphone. This would give you a lot more surface. And I don't know where you live, but "room temperature" here is not so tropical. So the theoretical maximum according to your calculation would be more like ((305-295)/295) * 120 = about 4 watts. Not a lot, but my telephone charger can provide about 2.2 watts and my battery is charged within 2 hours with that...
Well yeah, profesional coders have what is called a Job and no time to "play" around like this.
You are implying that there are no layed-off coders and that the people who lost their jobs due to for example outsourcing are really, really bad, they couldn't even beat the students?
What you are seeing here is not the average Joe that walks in the door. The average guys didn't win - just like the average student didn't pass your test. Only the exceptional won here.
Right. But in my test even the above average student didn't come close to the worst experienced programmer we have in the company.
It strikes me as odd that all three winners are students. I mean, shouldn't an experienced coder be better at this kind of thing?
This summer the company I work for wanted to hire some students for some simple programming job we would like to have done, but didn't have the time to do ourselves. To test if the student could really write some code, I create a small programming exercise, someting quite simple. I tested it on the programmers first, and they all took about 15 to 20 minutes to implement a working solution. The students got an hour to solve the problem, and only one of the about 20 applicants was able to solve the problem within the hour! So... are these student so much better? Or do the "real" programmers not compete in this contest?
Right. But if your system has been running for a while (I don't know how long it will take) some of the copper from your cooling block will have dissolved in the water, and it WILL conduct. You would have to do some experiment to see how long it will take, but I wouldn't be surprised if this wouldn't work at all.
Ram is not cheaper than harddisks per megabyte now, but it will be in the future. I've seen some charts which chart size of ram against time and do the same with harddrives. The breakpoint is somewhere between 2010 and 2015 where they will be equally expensive. That is of course if the trend of the past 20 years will continue the same way into the future.

Did anyone else notice that Linus himself is not on that list? Does this mean that he doesn't mind closed source modules?

With "memory module" they are not referring to separate chips, they are referring to the on-chip local memory that each cell core has.

My father is an engineer, my mother a nurse. What does that make me?
Shouldn't product names be easy to read without hearing them?
You mean like the rest of the english language?
I've been able to use the alsa drivers with a GUS soundcard on an old alpha without any problems or modifications. So I think they're pretty portable.

On the other hand, then you'd have the following problems:
- no power at night (or a lot of extra cost for batteries)
- the panels being constantly covered with sand/dust due to wind etc.
- still the problem of getting the power where it is needed, because nobody in the nevada desert is going to need a huge amount of power
