You spent an hour coming up with a solution that is named after the 3rd grader (Karl Friedrich Gauss) who solved the problem in about 30 seconds. This took me about 5 minutes to decode and under a minute to solve.
And for everyone who didnt bother to read the article:
One hundred other students who also managed to decode and figure out the problem were offered a place on the computer science course at the university.
I remember seeing something about it a long time ago too. I hate it when I see a preview for a movie and then dont hear about it for years. I remember seeing a preview for Titan AE way back in 97 or 98 and it was going to be live action instead of animated. Then of course it disappears for a year or two and comes back very different.
2.4 million RPM on a turbine that is 4mm in diameter... its math time...
2400000 R/M = 40000 R/S
1 R = 4mm*pi = 12.56mm
40000 R/S = 502656 mm/s linear velocity
503 m/s is pretty fast. Thats about.3 miles per second for the metrically challenged. Very long range rifles shoot at speeds on that order of magnitude.
I havent done basic physics in a long time so i am rusty on the formulas; could someone do the energy/force calculations for me? Just off the top of my head i think 1 milligram (thats the equivalent weight of one cubic millimeter of water, which i think would be about the right order of magnitude for the blades on this turbine) moving at 503 m/s could do some daage to organic tissue, more so than a splinter at least.
Time to set up?? It took me almost 5 (yes, FIVE) minutes to set up an xboxgw game for the first time. I just stuck the boot floppies from their web site into my spare PC, ran the appropriate ethernet cables between my router / hub / xbox / linuxbox, and it was done. My only problem with XBoxGW so far is the lag, as Halo has no anti-lag code for clientside movement so theres actually a delay between you pressing forward and your character actually moving.

Actually Halo will probably be the exception rather than the rule. Look at THPS3 for PS2. It supports its own internet service. I fully expect future xbox games to go that route and not require 3rd party software (or 1st party software, ala XBox Online from MS) to play online.
Not only are the hard drives different brands, they are different sizes. The WD drive is 8GB while the SeaGate one is 10GB. Wonder what other differences we can expect to find...
Forget about playing, emulation, and all that. Sim City 2000 Network Edition wont even INSTALL under Win2K. It spits out some crap about "SC2K:NE will not run under this version of Windows".
the fuss is about them trying to convince (in a rather underhanded way imho) contributors to the free parts of the code to sign over complete copyright rights to all their contributions to be used in non-free ways.
Some of us remember the long lost days of an internet where TLDs actually meant something. This site is not a.COMmercial venture, it is a not-for-profit.ORGanization, which is not to be confused with a.NETwork provider.
Considering previous applications of the DMCA to reverse engineering of protocols, I would have to say, tentatively, yes. Unless someone can provide a counterpoint?
Its about time. For the longest time my roommate was on AOL and I couldnt set up a linux gateway for our home LAN because of it. Thank god the days of ICS over AOL are over!
I have priorities. They dont rank those particular 6000 (SIX thousand) people much higher than the other 200000 people who died that same day, and the 200000 who died the day before, and the 200000 who died the day after. How about YOU get your priorities straight?

"Then you're doing something wrong."
yeah, right. install, boot, run program that came with the distro, hang. repeat. what exactly could i be doing wrong in that scenario?
cept that would be too short to post. isnt the minimum 20?
and, on topic... Ive never had a stable linux box, and 2.4 hasnt been any more unstable than im used to.

It would be kind of dumb to actually be out there now then give up.

If so I think I should drag my old M65000 based systems out of the basement. (and I always wondered how the TI-89 was so fast!)
Nah, they would get licences, at least then we couldnt laugh at Braille on drive-up ATMs.
Dear God, someone PLEASE mod down some of the MANY text copies. I browse at 1 Nested Oldest and the one at the end was perfectly fine for me.
