Fortran is still very much used. All the big iron systems use fortran, as many compilers can parralelize (sp?) the code, make it run on multiprocessor machines. It is also very popular with mathematicians, which are its roots.
1) Turbulence in the ducting would reduce your effeciency
2) Cooling the ducting itself
Your best bet would be to get a larger, 80mm heatsink and use a larger, quiter fan right on top of that. They are a little heavier and larger, so your mother board must be able to support it.
I would say to most people to wait, the standards haven't been entirely ironed out. But it seems that if you need large amounts of online storage and don't really need to worry about compatibility, I'd say go for it.
coming from some one who has done this, this can be a pain in the ass. Especially if you want to do it for multiple services. My suggestion would be, if you can't narrow it down to only 2 or 3 services, that you use a VPN.
The question is not so much what do you want to block, it is what do you want to allow.
If all you want is to give access to the web and maybe e-mail. A proxy will do that for you. Squid is nice. That way you only let internal machines connect to other internal machines (i.e. the proxy).
If that doesn't work just firewall all outgoing ports but the ones that you want (80 for web, 25 and 110 mail, 21 ftp, etc...)
Here is the problem as I see it. It's one of scale.
It is easy to certify most engineering professions. If you build a building, it must meet certain tolerances. A weld between two I beams would support so much weight. This is easy and empiracle (sp?).
You learn this, and are tested on it to get your license. How ever, in the current state of software engineering, you deal on a much more fine grained scale. How does an extra iteration of a loop affect the stability and security of the program. There is no algorithimic way of determining this, like building a building at the molecular level.
I'm glad to see such actions like this, they are so ridculous as to be doomed to failure (hopefully) and they clearly show what a bunch of money grubbing bastards recording companies are.
This kind of thing has been legally established for over a hundred years, when used books are sold.
Sorry to nitpick, but there are really only about 94^8 combinations (26 upper case, 26 lower case, 10 numerals, and ~32 symbols), which equals 6.095x10^15
The reason is that on most systems you can't simply enter those extended characters.
Parrallel programming for high performance scientific applications is considered so difficult (Programming many things that occur simulateniously, in an efficient fashion) that I've heard that a single line can run ~$400 after all is said and debugged.

Since you are just capturing the exterior of their homes, which is in the public domain, there shouldn't be a problem. YOu're only concern should be is that if the cameras are placed in such a way as to reveal something that normaly would be hidden.
I should clarify, I believe that if UnitedLinux is successful, it will be an incredible detriment to the Open/Free Software spirit. Many programers write what they write, not only to show their skills, but to contribute something useful, in a way that they believe brings benefit. If they see that their work is being exploited, they will no longer wish to contribute.
However I think UL will fail, and I think its important that the community experiences something like this, to test how well our protections against this event work.
I'm against software piracy as much as the next person (I'm a developer myself) but calling something that isn't really theft the worst kind is bordering on hilarity. While copying does deprive the owner of revenue, it doesn't deprive anyone of th actual product itself.
It would be quite simple to do. While they would presumably have a very large pipe, bandwidth limiting would be infesable. However, if we make them invest as much computer time in reading the files as bandwidth, then the bottle neck becomes the computer.
Basically, when a file is requested from a client, during the negotiation a challenge is sent out. Something like a key encrypted by another key. So, key A is used to encrypt key B. Key B is cryptographically secure, generated from only the highest quality random numbers. Key A is also random, but weak, perhaps there are only a few billion possible combinations, so that a mid range computer can run through the possible permutations in a few minutes. So after figuring out Key A, you now have Key B with which to decrypt the song.
So now, lets consider the evil RIAA computer downloading these songs. Lets say the have the bandwidth to download 100 songs at a time, with the average song taking 20 minutes. However, this computer can break keys at a rate of one every 2 minutes. Which means, that even though they've downloaded 100 songs, they can only get at 10. We've reduced their effectiveness by 90%
Further more, we can argue that this was created for a perfectly legitimate practice, to curb abusers.
Pick up Hacker's Challenge. They detail 20 real life attack scenarios, many of them are attacks against a wireless network, and the detail the steps taken to prevent attacks of that nature.
Right, but what the Reg is trying to say is that Microsoft is failing in those attempts. And as for bad mouthing, even Nixon had the Washington Post
Step 1 - X Box - is costing the company more money than they were willing to spend, and just isn't making the inroads against Sony that the hoped, and Nintendo is managing to hold its own.
Step 2 - Live - I think the Reg did a good job detailing this. It looks like it'll cost the company even *more* money just to make people pick it up. It seems Microsofts hopes are pinned on a constant, viable, source of revenue. However, in the past these networks have failed, remeber MPlayer?
Step 3 - Try launching an all in one home media station with two heavy weights in the PVR business, two heavy weights in the game business, and two heavy weights trying to cut off any useful service you want to provide (the MPAA and RIAA). Mix that with a strategy thats already hemoraghing money, and you've got a situation that just doesn't look that great for success.

Forgive me for being cynical, but considering Microsoft's previous histroy when reusing their past code, I'll believe it when I see it.

You'd have two big problems.
1) Turbulence in the ducting would reduce your effeciency
2) Cooling the ducting itself
Your best bet would be to get a larger, 80mm heatsink and use a larger, quiter fan right on top of that. They are a little heavier and larger, so your mother board must be able to support it.

Yes, but I believe you can have the proxy filter the messages

A few things
1) They've been archiving since 1998, but they've only recently had the horse power to provide a live connection to it
2) It is very easy to not have your stuff indexed. the directions are here.

Hmm, I screwed up as well, it really should be 94^8+94^7+94^6+94^5 (Assuming passwords smaller than 5 are not allowed)
This doesn't really change the bottom line that much, instead of 6.095x10^15, its now 6.161x10^15

From what it sounds like, they have a linux program that lets you add truths? Does anyone have any more information on this.
That IE was open source, because this must of been the only way that such a hole could have been found ... right?

This is the exact thing the GPL is designed to prevent. The Linux community *won't* put up with this and UL will engender much public scorn.
