Obviously this would require manual intervention every time the machine was booted before the data would be accessible.
You bring up a good point.
I am guessing they strive for high availablity at the cost of this manual intervention to mount the encrypted filesystem (entering the pass-phrase) and then start what ever service reads the data off of it...
If that is not the case, then they are just newbs:p
I hate to say this (I used to be an advocate of older hardware being put to good use also) but you will notice a pleasant, marked improvement with using a nice P3 or higher...
Sadly, I know I did when I went from a Pentium 133 to a P2 350 and then up to my current P3 700.
Everything is just that bit snappier, plus your power bill will probably decrease a little with something a little more modern running too.
Please refrain from using the played out jokes seen elsewhere on Slashdot, you would do particularly well not mentioning "in soviet russia...", "xyz is dying" and "imagine a beowulf cluster of these!" in the future
The reason I say this is simple: you will very quickly have a friend to foe ratio that simply does not work in your favour:)
Sounds like they forgot to overclock their network card, or maybe they already did and the neon flashing fan for the card failed and the machines temperature reached such a height that the water cooling overheated and burst a pipe and the box melted into a rainbow puddle.
Doesn't this article talk about machines that are sold for business? I don't think it just refers to machines connected to the internet...
I know we have a Linux based CheckPoint firewall facing the internet at my work but there are racks and racks of Windows machines behind that serving the company...

What if you drive on a new piece of road that is not on the devices map?
"nothing could compromise it" ...famous last words :)
so like, roughly what does that say in english?
Looks like you forgot there was a world of phones before picture messaging also, the 3210 doesn't feature MMS :)
I think you are also forgetting that there are other humans on the planet that are not located in the United States of Anal-laws...

well *duh*
we would all have big muscles, neat hair, trendy colourful clothes and a girl at our side whilst rolling in the 'hood
wait, hang on a minute, life without computers???
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!
A good eighty minutes after us though, sheesh...
:]
This is slashdot, remember?
Yeah, talk about being pwned.

One or more of the BSD's will support it ... NetBSD for sure!
bzzt, sorry.
...
they're only using names from 'toy story'
Aren't there uninhabited areas of America that no-one lives in? (eg. desert, desert and those big dusty desert parts)
Why don't you just put all your rubbish there instead of going to the trouble of taking it to a different continent...
I'm not so sure it is the cheapest solution, but it sure is the most flexible!
An xbox coupled with xbmc (xbox media center) is the shizznizzle!

(I just _know_ that any geek thats used xbmc will concur)

"who's going to pay for this? [...] nobody's going to ever get one of these in their car."
If you have teenage children, this would be a small price to pay for their safety.
Why not wash your hands afterwards then?
It's not like you get drunk from cleaning something with a rag and some isopropyl alcohol...
Looks to me like you'd be catching the bus home, partner :)
Has anyone made similar experiences?
Yeah, don't use CD's for backups... use tapes, they seem to age much better and cost less per GB.
yeah I remember the Playstation 1 being like $999 NZD when it first came out.
I don't think this pricing on the Playstation 3 is entirely outlandish... $450 USD converts to around $597 NZD at the moment.
(as a rule of thumb $1 USD used to be $2NZD before it dropped so much in the last year or two)
I look forward to seeing the submitters response to your question
*shakes head*
