Some thoughts, having been a shift supervision in a DC long ago...
(a) don't have the emergency poweroff & off halon dump switch uncovered right by the DC room's light switch. Someday someone will *hit* it...
(b) where does the water go when the 5 inch chill water main fracture?
(c) who is the cleaning staff and do they know not to turn the "computers" off when they dust? Also why are they dusting unsupervised in the data center anyway?
(d) Oh sure you have multiple telco feeds that service the building from that *sole* pole over there, which that dump truck just took out.
(e) And your procedure for the phone in fire alarm is what, wait for the fire dept to axe the entry door? This was my favourite. What's that chopping noise?
(f) Lastly, if the city bomb squad runs a trial, let the staff know ahead of time because that ensures they might be able to focus after the squad leaves...
Obviously It's the flash from the cannon that sent their projectile to Jupiter, good thing it wasn't earth since they say the projectile made quite a splash on Jupiter.
Check your Jules Verne notes for the historical reference.

Oh and in English.

100 Million iPods

Well likely the author got a dozen Zunes from microsoft for Christmas, and his family members are still like: Bo why you give me this shitty brown Zune? Why not one of those hip iPods?
Apple doesn't have to hand out *FREE* samples anymore, that sucks from his perspective...
Oh and Apple doesn't have to hand out MacBook Pros either to show how good os-x runs either...
It's not as if they couldn't go to their Oracle Database and say. Oh SUM number of iPods sold. Oh look it's > 100,000,000 Gee time for press release. I doubt they asked Betty in shipping how many iPods she has sent out the door, well unless that was Zunes, then mmm yes we've sent out I think 42 pallets of 64 each...
I wonder how many IBM PC Juniors are in a dump/landfill/creek bed in China. Does it matter. Certainly any workable iPod is hung on a pocket of pre-teen/teen/yuppy in world. Even *broken* ones have value, see eBay.
Squeak itself didn't have an MP3 driver (we call them plugins) until just a few months ago, and it did take some time to sort it out cross-platform (there were also some licensing issues). I thought that they had this sorted by now, but I'm not sure one way or the other to where John McIntosh's excellent work has been ported.
Ok, the code was taken from a intel Linux source tree, then ported to the macintosh, then various folks ported it over to windows, lots of time was taken trying to get the MMX code to work since various compilers have different viewpoints about syntax. But in about three weeks it was ported and has not been a problem. Among all this we also worked out the license issue to ensure we could distribute it. Lurking on the smalltalkconsulting.com site is the source code for C and smalltalk, with links to other DLLs like for Linux and for Windows. Note a key thing here is that if you have someway to play sound from a bit stream, and someway to display bits, then you can play MPEG movies or MP3 files without relying on hosting OS specialized sound support. This can be a major issue in embedded systems. But with this solution from the ground up you have full control over manipulating the bits, which can be useful if you want want to run close to the metal

Where is that link to the Smallscript stuff. Ah, here it is The Smallscript Language and Platforms
