Right, it's essentially an audio server, hooked up to my stereo and the network. As discussed on/., some companies make similar units that get MP3's off a server via for example Samba, so you don't need a loud computer in your living room. Mine does this, and you can also stream audio [not just mp3s] -to- it (laptop doesn't need big speakers then). Disadvantage: it's not in a neat little package.
Of course. The noisy server with the disks is in the closet in another room. The MP3 server gets its files over NFS. It also runs esd, so any compatible client can stream.wavs to it directly. I do this with xmms from my laptop sometimes.
My Pentium 200 didn't come with a fan, and I ripped out the power supply fan without any ensuing problems. It boots over the network and as such needs no disks, so it's completely quiet. I use it as my MP3 server.
We've seen how you can use sub-pixel positioning to get an apparent increase in horizontal resolution for monochromatic text (Cleartype, etc.) on full-color LCDs.
Why not produce, for example, a 15" 1024x768 LCD with each sub-pixel the same color? Sure, the display would be monochrome, but horizontal resolution would increase by 3x.
As a bonus, you get hardware support from any truecolor video card, since 8-bit monochrome has the same layout as 24-bit RGB.
It's so simple that someone must have already done it.

They MIGHT use the time to build super-duper-K..
Actually, its successor will be Super Kamiokande Turbo Hyper Fighting Championship Edition.

You've never read a romance novel, have you.
zsh lets you use tab completion inside the arguments (e.g. of=/dev/nu^I -> of=/dev/null).
