Wow, this is the second CMU site taken down in the last few days. Well, lets see if we can take down an other! Here's a mirror of the movie and some documents on my CMU account:
One very interesting case is BROUGHTON, REGINALD C., a "Senior Vice President." His current declared holdings are 120,000 shares, but in the past 2 months he's sold at least 70,000. I'm sorry, but a Senior VP selling off over 30% of their stock should raise some questions.
Read this page from AnandTech's PSU roundup. The only thing that was changed between tests was PSUs, yet over a 6 hour time there was a range of only 1 up to 7 memory errors. Just one possible indication of how clean the supply is. Also there's the added benefit that it probably won't die in a month or two (happened to me, not too pleased when it did)
AnandTech also just had a PSU roundup here. The watt numbers and some of that aren't the best from AnandTech's review (read some criticism of it here), but overal it's a good roundup, especially comparing heat and noise.
From a ProCooling thread about some cheap, good surplus pumps:
As I told before, I ordered two of these Johnson pumps at Surplus Center. They were shipped on June, 6th. Yesterday [June 28th] I received this mail:

So my pumps came to Belgium and for an unknown reason were sent back to the states...
There have been quite a few posts so far about how running power over data lines is a bad idea and would cause all sorts of bad EMI, killing the data signal. But it actually doesn't. The power going through these is low-voltage DC (I think 12v), *not* high-voltage AC like wall power. AC produces changing magnetic fields which cause EMI, while DC produces a static magnetic field, so the data could care less. This is the same way that USB works (at 5v) and even POTS (plain old telephone systems...those have a full 48V DC...not always very nice when you forget that fact doing wiring). I haven't actually played with any of the equiptment myself, but from what I've read everything is low-voltage and low-power enough not to cause any sorts of problems at all.
If you actually like THG, you might want to take a look at this article over at AmdMB. I never particularly liked THG, and this just solidifies it.

Hrm, a lot of good that did considering Finding Nemo was available YESTERDAY, a day before the opening. True the ending is cut off, but it's still out there. They don't seem to get that a number of these pre-releases and the really good ones are made by people who work at the movie theater, not people that sneek in. The holy grail for these is a Telesync which uses audio from the RCA jack on the projector instead of a microphone.
First of all, a quote like "the copy available using BitTorrent" is just inane, kinda like saying the copy available using FTP or HTTP (which if you know anything about the warez scene, everything is available on private FTPs far before it was publicly available on BitTorrent or anything else).
Second, their said release does not exist. Simple rule of thumb, if it's not listed on vcdquality or nforce, it doesn't exist. And neither list this "film print" version, only the normal "hidden videcamera" ones.
fuckin morons...how bout we just start posting links to all the IRC channels, and news groups, and warez sites, and private FTPs out there. The entire point of this article was that yes, BT can be used for illegal stuff (like this), but so can anything else.

For those of you that have not seen all of the Animatrix, there were 2 direct references to it in Reloaded.
1) Final Flight of the Osiris: well, this reference one is obvious enough. The Osiris is a sister ship that sees the comming army and sends a warning message back to Zion.
2) Kid's Story: In this Animatrix Neo gives some kid a personal invite out of the matrix and he makes it. I'm almost certain that the kid following Neo around in Zion is this same kid (especially the "I didn't save you, you saved yourself" quote, which follows with the Animatrix how the kid cept himself alive).
Oh, and no, the Animatrix doesn't come out on DVD for an other 2 weeks or so, which is a shame. You think they would have released it first since it really adds quite a bit to the story.
You could not possibly be more wrong. The current generation mplayer (G1) will probably die soon, but there still is work going on. A'rpi, who was the driving force behind mplayer, has decided to start a complete rewrite from the base up, for now called mplayer G2 (yeah, mplayer has a thing with bad names). From what I've been reading, it seems to be going fairly well. Check out the current status on the (all of week-old) mailing list here: http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-g2-de v/

Yes, they did it.
Here is/.'s article about it from the time: http://slashdot.org/articles/99/05/20/13202 56.shtm l
Here is about the best explination I've seen:
Here are the explanatory posts by the two guys who made the reactor on the University of Chicago local newsgroups: Enjoy! Alright, I just want to set a couple things straight, so here are some responses to oft heard comments the last few days:
1. "I assume they used U-238 to get to Pu-239..." we did not start with any uranium or plutonium, that would have ruined the fun, and the point was to make fissionable materials. Our starting material was thorium, which can be found at any hardware store. we happened to have some in our dorm room... The final products were Uranium 233 and Plutonium 238. I'm not going to spoon feed the decay chains to anyone, you can figure it out yourself if you really need to.
2. "You endangered the life of my son!" We created a neutron source using some shit we pulled out of a trash can. This source was safer and less radioactive than the radioisotope Americium 241 found in the smoke detector in each of your rooms.
3. "Someone said your roommate lost his job because he built a nuclear reactor" Neither I nor my rommmate have lost our jobs since doing this.
4. "I hear you paid another group to steal Plutonium for you" We did not steal Uranium or Plutonium from anywhere. Nor did we have anyone else steal some for us.
5. "but to qualify as a true breeder, doesn't the reaction have to be self-sustaining?" No. A breeder reactor just means taking advantage of all those tasty neutrons flying off from whatever source you have, be it a sustained fission reaction or a naturally radioactive source. The best neutron source on campus would be the Physics Dept's neutron howitzer. But since the howitzer produces neutrons from the decay of Plutonium, you have to agree it would be silly to use it to try and make plutonium.
6. "(I'll be really impressed if the two come up with a micro-fusion reactor.)" We'd fly back next year just for that one...

Just some clarification for the readers who've forgotten their nuclear physics:
U-235 is the fissionable used in the Hiroshima bomb and Pu-239 in the Nagasaki bomb. U-238 is used in fast breeder reactors to make weapons grade Pu-239. (U-238 is also used in fission-fusion-fission bombs, so technically it is fissionable with a net gain of energy but you need really fast neutrons).
Thorium was to have been used in slow breeder reactor technology which turns out U-233 as its fissionable. (Is Pu-238 fissionable at low neutron energies with a net gain? The even Z makes me think not...)
I thought you had started with depleted uranium to make a fast breeder; didn't know the thorium isotope available from hardware stores was the one used in slow breeders. Well, with a small sample of thorium and a neutron source, you can make the U-233. But with a fully functioning breeder don't you need some of the U-233 created to fission and transform the rest of the thorium without running away and slagging the reactor or damping out so you never end up with more thorium than whatever's directly exposed to your neutron source? I suppose the nuclear engineering definition of a breeder has to be more pragmatic.
Fred and Justin didn't begin with any uranium. (Uranium, after all, ain't a commonly available thing.) They began with some thorium and an alpha source, which they just happened to have lying around. They used the alpha source to make a neutron source, and bombarded the thorium. This induced a chain of reactions, the final products of which were fissionable uranium and plutonium.

The guys from the french review site x86-secret decided to not only do the same type of thing, but make a bunch of videos available too! They mostly consist of old hardware (even though there is some new stuff) + fireworks = BOOM!!e ws.x86-secret.com/

actually, if you're on sid you can:
apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.0-test2
and it will, theoretically, work.
mplayer isn't actually closed, but has a "what if" 404 page.
Must be your hardware. I have an Ath 2700 XP with a ATI 9800 running Debian with X 4.3
Single glxgears: 3600
3 glxgears: 1200
