Portsmouth N.H. has a Tug named after the Postmaster General from Philly (John Wanamaker.) The Tug is actually a floating resturant called Dunphy's.... Nice place to throw back a few.
I actually did intentionally "crash" a box once. Our VP of Accounting refused to save data on our file server (netware at the time), even after we warned her repeatedly that she would lose data. One night another tech and I walked into her office, removed her hdd, and replaced it with a blank drive. Then next morning we came in early, and endured the fireworks, p1 ticket, and verbal diarrhea from the PHB (of course the "failure" was our fault....) After several hours (and a great game of Quake) we announced that we had (with great care and effort) recovered her data. We restored the data to her user dir, and re-installed all of her software on the new drive. Kudos all around, and no more problem.
March 22nd 12:10 AM, and I can't reach Google. No way in hell that Google could be slashdotted..... could it? Do we have that much power? Did we? Can we? The mind boggles....er um Googles....
Try your local music store. You can usually buy just the pre-drilled and tapped rails, then stick them into whatever you can find for a cabinet. I made a cabinet from plywood, attached casters from Home Depo, rails from Daddy's Junky Music, and covered the whole rig with sticky vinyl from a local sign shop (buy it in rolls, by the yard.) Most of the work went into adding a plexiglass door, (plexiglass came from the hardware store)and lining it up. Whole rig was about $130.
Pay attention to cooling, a couple of fans in the roof won't hurt anything. Vent them outside to keep your room from reaching hell like conditions.
What's next? Targeting news stories, and shows? What kind of a person to I have to be in the eyes of the network to not get Oprah, and Jerry Springer? What if there was no election coverage or CSPAN for certain classes of people? Time to get rid of the Tee Vee methinks.

As a kid I used to build "stick and tissue" CO2 powered models with a simple pendulum "guidance" system. Trickiest part was getting the right amount of friction at the pendulum pivots to keep the model from over-compensating, and to design around the center of gravity shift for the pitch control. Once the rig was setup properly though, you could "program" it to do all sorts of neat stuff, by offsetting the pendulums. Balsa kits were around $5.00, and pendulums were made from fishing weights and paper clips.
applied to the inside of the case, so it was still transparent. Tie the screen into the ground plane. Would still require those copper fingers around the access panel. This rig would look pretty sweet with a light kit, or a strobe to "stop" the fans. If they start really ramping up production, the screen could probably be embedded into the lexan.
Try out the "Advanced Maxtor Data Recovery Method". Set the bad drive up as a primary on the second IDE interface. Install an OS on a "good" (well disposable) drive on the first interface.
Hold the drive about 1.5" above a counter, hit the power. After the first drive spins up, and before the POST completes, wack the bad drive down onto the bench with authority, but not malice. I used this method to get data off of dozens of bad Maxtor drives (80Mbs - 1.5Gbs) back in the day. Ya got nothing to loose. Seems they had an issue with "sticktion". The r/w heads would stick to the surface of the platter. After you get the data off, you'll have a nice hockey puck.
I also recieved notice from iomega. I never registered, but I had a "click of death" issue with a Jaz (they must have registered for me.) Took 4 weeks to get a new one. Should I hold a grudge and get the $40? Probably not. I have a SCSI Zip, and two Jaz. Other than that one problem, theyve been running for 5 years. I can't say that about most of the rest of the hardware i've bought in the last half decade.

Huh. Another person named Wade. Go figure. I thought Mr Boggs and I were the only ones.

Are you prepared to fight Underwriters Laboratory over intellectual property violations?

What was #18 again?
81 comments, and no one mentioned the girl.
..between Rt 66 and Country Club Way. I kept zooming in until I could see the top of Timothy's head. Ugh! That golf hat with the pom pom is ugly.

Anyone know if/when Themes.org is going back up?
I'd rather not hear the word "rather" used, well, rather overzealously.
