We are going to donate our old server from work (PII, not that old...), and I found the National Christina Foundation that gives the equipment to people with disabilities, schools with students at risk and economically disadvantaged persons. They also provide training for these poeple. It took me a while to find, but this is just what I was looking for. I don't know if they take parts, but if you follow the suggestion of buying the missing parts and building they will be very grateful and if you're close to them they'll even come pick it up.
I believe one of the services of these companies, in particular Ontrack, is to put all the data in one format and provide you with a "viewer" (with an outlook feel) to view the data they re-generated. This way you can have different formats, but if you pay enough you can get it uniform...
In the printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, advanced shops that do prototypes now use a laser photoresist depositor/printer (e.g., made by a company called Orbotech). I wonder if the new material Motorola developed will allow for even finer line width PCBs without resorting to lasers. I doubt that this will be portable to lasers. Does someone know what the physical limit of minimal line width is for a laser type printer?
My crypto (and linear algebra) is somewhat rusty, it's been a few years, but I think that the problem is that Alice can't sign with her secret code. The paper mixes Alice and Bob a little, but assuming that Alice publishes and Bob encrypts in the algorithm, then unlike the RSA keys, Alice can't sign a message with her private key for all the world to see (using her public key). That is a big advantage of RSA.
In some homes a cubicle could be a good thing... For me the most important part of a cubicle anywhere is a great big window with a great view (Grand Tetons?)
BBC has some really great shows (one of my favorites, when it got to PBS, was Jeeves and Wooster - of "ask Jeeves" fame, not to mention Monty Python). Is there a way to get the BBC in the US? Can people with DirecTV etc see it?
Crucifiction? To the left please, one cross each (Life of Brian).
One of the nice side effects of the.com boom was the respect that geeky math/science oriented people got from the rest of the population (OK, it was mixed with envy, and OK it was mostly due to the money not the cool stuff they did). This made people think about sending their kids to engineering schools (like MIT or my alma mater the Technion in Israel) instead of dreaming of MDs and lawyers. This means that the kids have to really concentrate on math and science in school (just to be admitted).
a friend of mine used to include backspaces in his typing of his password (on purpose, not just because he typed with 2 fingers).

At work we have a M$ w2k brand new server (installed the last week of July). The server was patched before August 1 and did not have plain vanilla CR. Nevertheless, on Sunday August 6th we still got semi-infected with CRII. I say semi infected since it totally ruined our server's ability to function properly but did not try to infect other machines. When our IT support guy called M$, they claimed we should re-install the patch but went to great lengths to make us re-download the patch from a url they specified (instead of using the patch file we had downloaded at the end of July). This makes me think that maybe they improved the patch since then. Re-installing the patch solved some of the problems and the rest our IT guy had to fix manually.
We've been CR-free for 2 whole days now
For the record: I wanted a Linux server but the guys at work (I'm a gal) didn't want to give up the potential to share calendars (they don't actually use it at the moment but options have value on paper at a VC firm...).
I was wondering about the point raised that children see their parents as irrelevant or uneducated and "not getting it". First, I think kids in the 50s also thought their parents didn't get it (and it probably went back hundreds of years), although it wasn't about hi-tech but rather music, fashion, and the rest of the prevailing pop culture. Today's pop culture certainly includes technology and some older people are apprehensive of some aspects of technology (my grandmother still refuses to use "that hole in the wall" - read ATM - to get cash).
Any slashdotters with teen aged kids? How do your kids see you on the "getting it" scale? If Michael Lewis is right then the teen aged kids of geeks should have much more respect for their parents than the teen aged children of, say, botanists or brain surgeons or athletes. It doesn't quite make sense to me.

Is it a feature or a bug? what's the difference?
