you should check out the VIA EPIA boards. i used to run my server off of a dual P2-400 server, with its jet-engine fan noise and love of the juice. now i have a fanless 533 C3 in a book-sized case running off of a 60-watt laptop-sized power supply.
it doesn't look as sexy, but with the reduced noise in the room, the gf sleeps over more.:-P
an object in a vacuum will radiate its heat, yes, but that is not why the rubber shattered.
while the vacuum pump was working, it was decreasing the air pressure in the jar. lower the air pressure, lower the temperature of the remaining air. the rubber cooler by the same principle as your air conditioner.
a vacuum is still a great insulator. (that's why my coffee mug here has a vacuum between the inner and outer shells:)
It appears that Daniel Lyons misunderstands the GPL in his recent article "Linux's Hit Men". Linksys agreed to distribute their code changes to the core (kernel) of Linux when they decided to use Linux for their embedded OS. And they realized a substantial R&D cost savings as a result, helping to reach that $129 cost point. It hardly seems fair to characterize working with Linksys, asking them to uphold their end of the bargain, as acting like "Hit Men". We need to protect multinational corporations from a group of poorly funded, non-profit geeks when (Cisco) breaks international copyright law? Sorry comrade, your comments don't hold water.
haha! this is a quote from a company that sells a $29.95/month hot spot service, and is upset with the city's new offering:
"It's hard enough to compete against other companies. If the
city starts providing for free what we make people pay for, it
could really hurt us," Dowling said.
DUH!;-p
i do think that metered wifi access will fail as a business model. virtually every business where the cost of tracking and billing access is MORE than the cost of providing said access becomes just another gratuity. (like a public water fountain)
but seriously, a good, fast OS could be written in java. and all that's slow about it is the GUI - which could be solved if driver developers wrote drivers that sped up java GUIs as they do C++. (so it's not all being done by the CPU)
try uninstalling your video drivers (or switch to VESA), and watch C++ "native" widgets struggle as swing does. you'll have a better inderstanding on what i mean.
and i believe it was Telsa who said, and I'm paraphrasing, "Maybe if Edison had a little more inspiration, he wouldn't have sweated so much."
for those of you who don't know, edison was not a kind man. he ran a literal sweat-shop of engineers, working round the clock trying to invent and then later patent technologies.
and btw, edison's abuse of the US patent system would make amazon blush.
oddly, while he may not be violating copyright laws using gentoo, it looks as if he may be in trouble for posting the email he got!

actually, they're not in the public domain. they're covered and protected by international copyright laws. that's what prevents anyone from using it if they don't agree with the GPL.
don't confuse freely available for public domain. linux very much relies on copyright law.

well, there was star trek.
or was that a really REALLY long "convulsion"?
shouldn't that be:

there is NOTHING wrong with saying "XFS File System". Don't you know what XFS stands for?

All you're doing is spelling out the recursive TLA*!

"making GTK2 apps use QT" != "Unifying"
"making GTK2 apps use QT" == "How to migrate off GTK2"
(some of us like the speed, stability, etc. of gnome 2.4 - why would i want to quit using it?)
it should be noted that this wasn't apache that was rooted. it was a poorly written PHP app, using an injection technique.
don't you watch any movies or TV? they also "fake 3D". are you not able to sit through LoTR without losing your lunch?
;p
3D on 2D has been here for 150 years. (photos) welcome to the 1800s my friend.
actually the book/movie Contact was based off a real woman, one who was a founder of the SETI project.
;-p )
of course, the whole finding of the signal thing was fiction... (or was it?

Ouch... how embarrassing must it be to misspell "grok" when mocking someone else?

does anyone else find it VERY ODD that a C++ IDE is written in Java Swing?
Not that I recommend this, mind you, but there is a certain amount of security that you get from running an OS that nobody uses anymore.
;-p
i think there is a name for that...
"Security through Obscurity"
these ARE G5 Xserves...just cuz the public can't get them yet, doesn't mean vt can't.

btw, tech is a very geek-heavy/savvy campus. i wish i was still there.
there is no 15" albook - only rumors. :-p

yes, then we all KILL YOU for your annoying beeping phone! :-P
ummm... actually developer jobs (like mine) are some of the easiest jobs to convert to OSS on the desktop.
:-P
and i love working w/ linux!
