From the article: "As of the date of release for this article, you can get a base Standard Edition Vapochill System, without power supply, for $469 USD. Drop in a decent 400W supply and you are looking at a total chassis cost of about $570."
So yes, slapping together a few more machines is feasible, but I wonder how much of the processor speed/memory you are then devoting to overhead of the base system, etc....
Depends on how much those extra few hundred MHz mean to you....
I once, being of a technical background and something of a polyglot myself, was flirting with the idea of taking a position with the NSA.
I would still entertain the idea of working for an agency such as them or the CIA, but this thought crossed my mind: will it limit your ability to travel freely in the future?
While there is no doubt that I am a citizen of and am loyal to the US, I wasn't sure how I felt about having multiple governments (my own, and the country visited) get very interested in me every time I decided to cross the border into any country that we had any kind of tension with. I love to travel, and there are still so many places I want to go...the ability to travel unfettered is not something I am willing to sacrifice.
Also, I can't seem to find any reference to it at this point (I read it in printed literature from a job fair), so I might be wrong...but it seems to me that one of the conditions of employment related to your significant other being a US citizen as well. I don't know about anyone else, but I wasn't happy with the idea of my employer/government saying who I could and couldn't date. Especially since my girlfriend was not a US citizen.
For all that, I still think that experience would be great and would look wonderful on a resume. I'd still have to put a good deal of thought into it if I received an offer from one of the agencies.
But, as always, do your research. Check their policies and talk to anyone "on the inside" that you can.
Hopefully everyone read to the end and took it as a joke...it's really not THAT bad...after all, if you speak English you have all the sounds you need to speak Japanese...
"it should reduce the chance of accidental exposure to pornography and to other Web sites considered harmful to children"
Who has the authority to decide what's harmful and what isn't?
I mean, some things are blatantly obvious, but where is the line drawn? How much does a site have to overstep bounds before they can go after it?
`"I have repeatedly said that libraries have children's book sections, why can't the Internet have the same type of section devoted to children's interests?" he said.'
What team are we going to have on the payroll to monitor an entire TLD?
And how long until it gets unmanageable and degenerates into nothing better than the rest of them?
A good idea, but trying to manage content seems like it would get out of hand quickly.
How much time does it really take to set up one machine correctly, with apps, security settings, X, etc, then clone it off to as many as you need with Ghost or something similar?
"Drechsel's sense of freedom will expand even more once he and his colleagues attach pistons to the hinges, each firing in response to his subtlest finger twitch or leg flex."
while they're not the complex, graphics-intensive programs that we think of when we say online or multiplayer games, the Japanese market has shown that game-playing on cell phones, at least, *can* be very very popular...but maybe this is just experience of Tokyo, with the average commute around an hour sitting (or more likely, standing) crammed in a train with little room for a newspaper or book.
But there's also the consideration that the cell phones over there are smaller, lighter, have considerably longer battery life, and are in the hands of most everyone...multiple phones in one family are the norm, and almost every high school student has one.
I wonder if gaming on cell phones is something that's popular only after having a critical mass of users and satisfying some constraints (size, mass, battery life, etc), or if the capability for games would draw anyone into the market...I'd bank on the former, though...

I *do* use Win2K as well as *nix variants, but Win2K "ready to go out of the box with no tweaking"?
And in a network environment?
No, I think not...

Yes, but how many of those 'unsubscribe' addresses are actually valid? =)
