That wouldn't exactly be a new idea, but I think the quality of the X10 cameras and shaking of the kite wouldn't give you much of a return on your investment. Maybe fly a model rocket in an arc, taking pictures?
Thanks for pointint that out, I thought it might mean Raid Conroller, e.g. controlling them from a PCI or older ISA card, making them go around like synchronized swimming. Wouldn't that be lovely?
After much searching I found that the Nitro Car is the same scale as the standard (1/10 scale) R/C which people get together around here and race in parking lots on Sunday mornings.
Having to go beyond RC or R/C usually indicates I'm addressing someone else who doesn't know, thanks for taking the time to explain it clearly and avoid anonymously flaming.
I've heard from people who build and race the electric cars that they can achieve speeds of 70mph. What scale are they?
Just Call it a LIBRARY, Please!

The geniuses at the college I worked at decided to rename the college library 'Learning Resources Center' Hey, guess how often some student would wander down past my office asking where they could find the 'Library'
Same went for other impressive efforts to rename things: PE -> LLW Life Long Wellness, Admissions Office -> Welcome Center, etc.
A true professional should know how to position themselves so the public can find them. Confusing, euphemistic titles are as bad as Political Correctness in my book. If anyone thinks otherwise, try running a bond issue on a ballot for something other than Library and see how many votes it nets you.
I've been able to pick up some 1800's maps on ebay of the world, as it was known even then it's pretty cool to see how they thought the world fit together.
Oh, and thanks for the red herring link to the burn all gifs website, keep your politics to yourself or at least warn that it's not to LOC gif images.
Here's another shot of the tubes. My immediate beef, besides the fact I thought this was an early April Fool, is that mounting this board vertically places the tubes below most of the electronics, including CPU. Tubes typically run hot, because heat from the filament is what makes them work and three of them are going to create quite some heat.
Looking at the sockets, I'm also a bit concerned about the heat cooking the board itself, since I've seen any number of PCB electronics over the years with tubes, where the board is blackish sometimes separating foil from board. Think about that with a 7 layer PCB.
Lastly, high voltage. Scary around all these low voltage things. I wonder why they didn't consider making a daughterboard and keeping things well isolated.
Mostly mockups, but here's some of what to be expecting in the future, at x-bit labs
Over on the Enquirer, a correction was made to an article overnight concerning shipment dates for the Clawhammer, it will not be further pushed back, to first half of '03.
Looking that stock quotes this morning I saw this: INTC

I assume Yahoo stock reporting is still using one of those weird old Pentiums
I wish someone would make a car that runs on these.
I'm not about to add insult to my already injury by forking over postage to send this crap to these guys, even if that helped out the USPS (which it may actually not, depending how they manage to get into debt.)
Usually bean counters, nervous nellies, studio bigwigs who don't think the public will "get it", etc. Basically the people you can thank for you eventually having two or more versions of the same movie on home video. e.g. Theater Cut, "Directors Cut", Real Directors Cut, Boxed Set of Trilogy, Boxed Set or "Directors Cuts", Boxed Set of Real Directors Cuts.
And they wonder aloud why there's so much P2P sharing of video...
Studio executives and police are on the lookout for a someone who took an early cut of "The Two Towers" and a few items, including a ring. The suspect is reported to be short, with hairy feet and missing a finger. A suspciously accurate review has appeared on the website of Harry Nobbs, Ain't-It-Incredibly Neat.Com, though Harry claims it all came to him in a dream.
George Lucas was quoted, "There seems to be a bit of this going around."
It's like saying TV ruined the Movie industry of the 1930's. Seems the lines I see outside the theaters are contrary to McCallum's view that people would prefer to see things on a tiny screen without much detail.
I'm concerned that you're right. Low Methonal solution souldn't be a problem, as you can pick it up for a few dimes a bottle, however, it seems likely they'll hold you to the warrantee with some certified/proprietary mixture (then get someone to add reverse-engineering fuel mixtures to the DMCA) which you can only buy with their quality name on it, or from licensed moonshiners.
The problem is the newer drives, which run much hotter.
Back in the day I bought my first drive, an 80 Meg (yeah, MEG.) Quantum Prodrive, which was mounted on what was commonly refered to as a HardCard. Being out of the airflow it soon cooked the bearings. The drive still works, as it's on my old Amiga 2000, I haven't replaced it as of yet (though a WD 424 Meg drive is ready and waiting) I leave it out and have to give it a few quick twists on the vertical axis to loosen up the bearings in order for it to spin up. It's gotta be 13 years old by now and works ok aside from that. It does, and has always run very hot, which is another reason I leave it out. I'm not sure hotter is the case with newer drives, so much as tolerances, since densities are up to 180G (which you can buy right now) and more critical factors are in play to achieve such.
I have it on tape, somewhere. Nick used to run it frequently about 8 years ago, when I used to tape several shows, including Ren and Stimpy and it was caught somewhere in an overrun.
Great bits, with the casual voices of adults and children set to clay-mation of zoo animals. I think it's on one of the DVD's
Probably didn't want to scald the coffee. Then again, I don't think you'd really want to use a CPU as a heater for something with a variable ability to wick heat, unless you don't mind the CPU dying now and then.
I dunno if building a PC into a desk is all that original. I've seen a few in my time which were pretty inventive. This, on the other hand, seems quite an improvement, at least it's got Hot Java.;-)

You can't imagine how this deal has to leave Intel smarting.

Assuming there's three tubes on the board along with all the other heat generating devices, you might want to think about better cooling.
There's some car-audio semiconductor-tube hybrids, but the word I've heard is avoid them. Go tube all the way or don't go tube at all.

1,000,000 x 15g = 15,000 Kg
15,000 Kg = ~ 16.5 Tons
CD thickness = ~1mm, width = ~120mm
1 stack = 1Km high.
Stacked 3m high = 334 stacks (one with remainer), ~2m to a side
Assuming I've done my math right, that's not going to fit any mailbox I've ever seen.

Somehow I think these would be difficult to sell in Russia... Think of the conflict... "work on laptop" vs. "unwind with world's best vodka"

Any idea what these are actually fueled with? Alcohol or something proprietary?

Such good news, in abundance, doesn't seem to be helping Corel's stock price much. Is the market so pessimistic on any news now?
