I bet they only had one employee supporting this app - the original developer - and he either died or left the company, so they probably can't actually support it because they no longer know how to.
Or maybe someone accidentally turned off the old server that nobody dared to touch & it wouldn't turn back on again.
IANASurgeon, but...... couldn't they just attach string to the sponges? Or would the strings get in the way? String hanging outside patient = sponge still inside...
Get one of those Cubic/Procase cases - I have a Cubid 2677R.
Stick an Epia 5000 fanless motherboard in it. Only 533MHz, but it'll do fine.
Whack a good firewire card in it.
Buy as many external firewire hard drive enclosures as you need, either disable the fan inside the units or buy ones that don't have a fan:)
Drop everything into a nice big plastic bag, maybe one of those big survival bag things, or maybe separate bags to stop heat buildup and allow easily adding and removing hard drives, seal the bag(s) with some duct tape or velcro.
With 4 drives you'll use five plug sockets, but that shouldn't be a problem. Another option is using a SCSI card and using SCSI enclosures & an internal SCSI drive for reliability. $$$ though.
Another thing to remember is that you can buy a power cables & brick that just has a 12v molex connector on the end, and there's nothing to stop you using lots of those & a small fanless PSU for the motherboard.
Grab everything from the bootleg/live/radio recordings (bbc sessions, etc) mp3 groups on usenet from a premium provider. That might be all you actually need to do; there's a hell of a lot of stuff.
Knock yourself out. Meanwhile the rest of us will just read the article:
NIMA is releasing virtually all of its imagery from these programs except for imagery of Israel.
Uh huh.
"Missing in action are some KH-7 and KH-9 satellite photos taken during the 1963-1980 time period that are still considered to be highly sensitive for national security reasons."
I wouldn't mind a simple little *cheap* device with enough memory to be able to record an hours worth of a University lecture. Does such a thing exist?
I don't know why nobody ever mentions RemotelyAnywhere when this question comes up.
It works entirely from a browser, and is quite nice.
It includes a mobo info page (uses MBM), network graphs, file management, upload/download, SSL, works through firewalls (inc. VNC-like usage), telnet/SSH/FTP server (dunno how (in)secure they are; you can disable them).
Quotes from Claranet (they have a news-service-only account rather than a normal ISP-with-access-to-the-news-server account) tech support:
Okay, but consider that a separate binaries service would require a LOT
more equipment than the current service, and that as a consequence, costs
(ie. prices) are likely to be MUCH higher.
Consider that at the moment there are 3 machines handling about 200 gigs a day. Add a separate binaries service, and you have to almost double the
throughput of the system, and add special reader machines for the service
(which do cost oh-so-much-money(tm).
But then I have no idea about why anyone would want to download binaries
from USENET anyway... the web and FTP work just fine for me:))

For the forseeable future, yes.
There are considerable economies of scale - the cost of running a news
service depends to a large extent on the amount of news traffic rather
than the number of customers so it might make sense for us to offer
our news service to other ISPs, or alternatively buy our news service
from another provider. Personally I favour the former option.
In.uk, Claranews is regarded as one of the best pay-for news services (+ POP3 account). They just recently had to increase the cost from £20 to £29.99 *per year* to cover the cost of extra servers. It's still excellent value for money if you consider that Supernews costs £130 a year.
As for retention times, it's around 2 days in a.b.c.d.i., 2-3 in similar busy binary groups, 3-4 for "average" traffic groups, and 6+ (probably more than a week and a but; I haven't looked recently) for text-only groups - e.g. currently 7085 headers in comp.os.linux.misc & 11819 in.advocacy.
The news services provided with most ISPs seriously sucks - you'd be lucky to find any posts that have all the parts in binary groups.
... why is everyone assuming that eBay thinks that choosing all 'no's in the signup pages is what they meant? What likely happened is that you forgot to fill something in, went back a page ("error - please enter a valid name", etc), carried on, and they thought that you may have forgot to choose "yes" to the questions.
It's perfectly logical: you might have forgotten something or your browser may have reset the options to "no" as you went back a page. Would you rather not have the opportunity of being updated when their privacy policy changes or whether they'll start charging extra?? With sending this email they can now say "well, we wanted to warn you of the 10 per cent price increase, but you selected the option for us not to email you when you signed up", which is a perfectly reasonable thing to say.
Jeez.
I'm surprised that many people are talking about the security at the bank itself, when it's the client machines that are the most vulnerable.
It would be completely stupid for on-line banking to be used by the vast majority of computer (especially Windows-based ones - a relative of mine had sub7 only a month after buying the machine) - the security of the client can't be guaranteed.
This method seems an excellent way of doing things (it's not foolproof. How about installing a client on the machine that snooped the keystrokes in real-time, and then disabled the network so that the code could be used by the attacker instead?) but the thought of having insecure operating systems on the client sends shivers down my spine.
I don't think that on-line banking should be commonplace until the security of clients is vastly improved - there's too much of a chance for passwords, IDs, credit card numbers, etc being snooped on.
Slashdot Mirror
Check out the history of posts linking to heatst.com on Reddit. It's a 100% fucking clickbait site, and Slashdot got punked.
Slashdot fucked up. Delete this shit.

They might not have any choice but to sue.
Content triggering epilepsy. Virus or malware on the DVD. There are probably other scenarios.

Hilarity ensues.

They had an opportunity to call it Chakan Oil and they didn't take it :(
Or maybe even something as simple as having the bricks able to change colour. Yellow = take me out to get to the dead brick. Red = dead brick.
Aaah such an easy question.
It'll be cold in a basement, right? So...

Wouldn't it be possible to fit them together like a jigsaw puzzle to find out which ones weren't declassified?

I had it running on 128 megs of RAM once, and it was very slow. 1024 megs is much nicer :-)
I also had it running on a Cyrix P166. It ran. Just.
Oi! Do you mind?!! I use a Celeron 400 with Win2k and it runs just fine; I don't see any reason to upgrade my hardware at all.
People look at me funny when I say that. I don't know why.
Maybe the reality that Neo "conquered" was just chrooted?
Or, um, uh, maybe not...
HTH.
