I saw an article in a Maximum PC a few months ago on how to build a silent PC.
They got a computer down from 47db to 34.6db
They used a Fujitsu HD, powerman PS, and a PC power and cooling silencer fan.
You might be able to find something on there website.
I have a PS/2 to USB adapter. I have no clue how it works, and have never used it, but on one side its a PS/2 port with a Keyboard symbol, and on the otherside is a USB adapter.
Instead of sending a few normal sized robots.
send a big Base stating with Solar panels that charges batteries, and a bunch of smaller robots with no solar panels which stay in the general vicinity and get a charge when they need it.
Alot more exploring could be done.
I was studying for my a+ certification,
and in the book it mentioned using Overhand knots in the line to protect against Lightening.
Basically, the power of the charge will burn out the cord when it crosses over itself like that.
The guy in the book said he had a giant thunderstorm one year, and all his stuff with Overhand knots survived, while most everything else didn't.
The Author was Mark Minassi or something like that.
check out this Netfridge.
Its been up since 95'
but the guy recently bought a new fridge, so it may not be working yet.

They did the same thing with the Polar lander in 97' or 98'.
I signed up half my family cause I was bored.
But I ran a search on my name, and I was the only one on there, and I had just readded my name, so I guess they didn't transfer over the names from the old one.
That song was crappy.
And you can't tell me that was a 12 year old little girl. It sounded like she was in her 20's.
The whole song was basically trying to put Crappy internet lingo, like TTFN and G2G into a song, and use as much of it as possible.
People that actually use that need to be hung.
Well, not quite yet.
I have a p120 with 32 megs of Ram running Mpxplay (Gasp! Dos!) on boot.
I am also in the midst of buying a 4x40 Text lcd, and that goes in my second Din Slot.
For input, I have a numeric Keypad Velcroed to the dash.
I was really looking into getting a 4" NTSC LCD, but you would then have to buy a GPS system, since it is illegal to have a LCD in view of the driver if it does not have GPS.
it didn't say,
but, does anyone think it is possible to rerip a 128kb Mp3 to become a 64kb Mp3pro file?
I am building a mp3player for my car, and this would save a ton of disk space.
And, do you think a p120 would play them ok?
or would they require too much power than that cand provide?
"My Cable ISP goes out once a month, so I bought another Cable connection for 40$ a month so I will never be without my connection"
You are sad, very sad.
I have RoadRunner, it only goes out when the electric does, so I can't use it anyways.
Oops, I forgot, you have your basement filled with leadAcid batterys so you will never be without a computer.
Lemme guess, you also have an I-opener in the Crapper so you can check your e-mail when "Other" business arises.
Go outside, get some fresh air, take a walk, something, but don't pay 40$ a month so you will have a backup connection for a few hours a month or so. Thats redicoulas.
IF you really want to, I would use Freesco, it allows connecting 3 networks together, and it just sees the cable modem as a network, I use it right now, ( I have it running on a p75 with 4 megs Ram) and it works great, Runs Linux, and was a sinch to install.
My "Audio System"
consists of an ancient Zenith Amp (it has an 8-track in it;-) and 6 speakers I bought at the Flea market, 2 in front, 2 in back, and 2 as my center channel on the ceiling.
My speaker wire is actually Cat-5.
Works great though, I have never took the Volume past half way, as I'm afraid of blowing my front speakers (which are actually pretty good, they are semi-audiophile grade from the 80's).
Both my parents have it,
my dad is worse.
He is a landscaper, and has been using Shovels, Rakes, etc for most of his career.
It hasn't flaired up on him in a whole, but when it did, he couldn't use his hands to grip anything at all. Very painful stuff.
What to do if you have it is a simple exercise.
1. Hold your arms out straight, palms up
2. bend your hands towards the ground, and pull your arms towards your head.
That will help out a lot, its why my dad hasn't had it lately.
It will take you about 2 weeks, but its the simplest, least painful, and won't cost hardly anything.
Its what the business gets for staying with the hunk of Junk so long.
This article is pretty Laim, I mean, come on, the guys keep arguing with each other, I can get on IRC to hear this, I don't want to look at it on Slashdot.
And, I don't have much experience installing win2k, because All I have is the upgrade, but yeah, it was pretty easy, just pop in the disk, put in the cd-key, and hit enter a few times after it reboots.
I have never installed any Mac OS, but, does anyone know where I can get a copy from like the 8.0 series? My sisters Mac could use a fresh start. And I would like to try installing Yellow Dog on it first.
This is a brain exercise. but would it help to have a CPU with superconducting traces?
That way, you would have no slow down or loss of energy.
But it would require Liquic N2 to keep it cool, but you could do that with pressure.
That would be cool, a pressurized Mobo
DC-Dc power supplys that I have seen just have one model for both.
Basically, they have the same lines, just in different connectors,
Get ahold of some of the connectors, and a little solder knowledge, and your set.
Maddog was there, I have a book by him
"RedHat Linux for Dummies"
He looks like my Grandpa though;-)
But, I can't believe Microsoft was not letting them pass out Linux Cd's. Its not illegal, it just made Microshaft look bad.
BTW, I might possibly use XP when I upgrade, but I sure as hell am not going to be paying for it, atleast full price. I'll probably build a new computer for my mom, and split the price with her.
I have an 88' Lincoln Continental.
I get 12 miles to the gallon,
It has all kinds of gadgets, like a do-hicky that turns on my lights when it gets dark for me.
And it drives like a tank, and leaks oil behind it!
And I'm sure the doors are thick enough to stop small arms fire!
And, I am putting a mp3 system in the trunk, and possibly a cross over cable attached in the back seat so that friends can sync laptops.
I am actually thinking of running Viavoice, so that I could have voice control, but right now I am only running dos on the computer, and its only 120mhz, so Windows would kinda kill it.
Put it in a steel box, with a Fan with a filter on the top for Posative pressure, and lock it down.
If an employee wants it that bad, they will find a way.
You can get a cheap safe for about 100$ and cut a 4x4 hole for a Cheap computer fan, and secure it on the top, and bottom. That way, you would first have to get the stuff through a 4x4 fan, an through a spinning fan. Not very easy.

could you use the ps2 controller as a USB adapter with the right driver?
That would be a cool hack.

I wonder if Napster actually thinks anyone will buy this?
I just switched over to Morpheus, and I can get Mp3s and Simpsons Episodes! WooHoo!

How Realplayer will go ahead and use .rdm as well.

doesn't seem like that last mile ethernet did them much good. They are Slashdotted!!!!!!

get those tapes that you listen to, and then repeat back. My sister had some for christmas 2 years ago, and they sounded pretty disant.

Somebody might have got some of the sourcecode from the projects!
Oh, wait.
