I guess this could actually be integrated into network boot roms and add a new differentiator to the innovation stagnent NIC ASIC market.
The already have those, they are called lights out management units and they are available from every major server manufacturer. They sit in a PCI slot and provide network attached KVM style controll over the server regarless of what state it is in (even off).
The reason you worry about heat disipation is that you pay for that heat many times. You pay for it at least 130% when you convert the electricity from AC to DC, then you pay for it around 300% when you air condition the office space. Overall a Watt of heat disipation costs around 3.5-4 Watts of total usage. Therefore the difference between a 80 Watt Opteron and a 130 Watt P4 is really around 200W. Larger thermal output also means more air needs to be moved to cool the chip, this generally means more noise which can get irritating with long exposure.
Not necessarily, leakage current starts to become a major component of heat disipation at smaller sizes. That's why the last die shrink for the P4 didn't help much with power, the active current state above nominal was reduced but leakage current grew a ton.
Video Jockey. I mix video clips and/or computer generated images in real time and sync it to the beat of the music. It's a lot of fun to play back and forth with a good DJ and the audience. The best experience I had was at a friends art studio one Haloween, we had two DJ's doing battles, myself, a live laser art artist, and some interpretive dance group members. We had about 300 people attend and half the door went to the local food shelter which bought a lot of food for thanksgiving dinners.
Yeah, you can fill it with legal garage-band crap techno
Although I'd have to disagree with you on the quality of the music I have done exactly that with my Gen 1 iPod. My brother is a DJ and I'm a VJ and so I get free copies of other DJ's stuff all the time. I have about 60GB of ~220Kbps VBR MP3's made from cd's given to me. Besides Jobs has a huge out with INDUCE, he has a legal distribution channel which is tightly coupled to his product including DRM which the copyright holders have agreed to.
Still way too expensive for the benifits (in terms of dollars and environmental impact). A Honda Civix LX 4-door with 4 speed automatic transmission only costs ~$16,700 vs ~$21,000 for a Civic Hybrid CVT. The difference in fuel economy? Less than 20% (38 vs 47 highway). The cost of all of those electronics, batteries, and other components both in terms of energy input as well as disposal hazards probably is not a huge net win for the environment. I would like to see a total environmental impact study done by a non-biased actuary to see how much impact hybrid technology really can provide. Btw the difference between the retail for this package and the difference in prices on the Civics is basically the labor for installation.
The MPAA already lost that battle for them. There is no way that a device which has as its primary purpose time shifting can be contributory negligence unless the entire premise of Sony vs Universal is overturned by another supreme court ruling (which would be a travesty).
I saw a really cool use for those small cd's this summer. Pepsi was giving away singles with a big gulp sized Pepsi product at certain partners (Sabaro's pizza is where I saw it). The whole in the middle was where the straw went. Another good use is ~220MB credit card cd's which are basically a CD-R in this smaller size with opposite sides cut to make it the height of a credit card. I carry one of these in my wallet with a ton of tools on it.
Not all incorperated entities have shareholders. For instance a subchapter S corp in beholdent only to the owners which ARE the company. There are other forms of incorperation which do not involve giving out shares of the company, for instance a closely held private firms assets might be wholy owned by a single individual, in that case the proprieter may do as he wishes with the company and its assets as he or she is beholdent only to themselves. Incorperation was at its inception nothing more than an incubator of business ment to shield proprieters from personal responsibility for the actions of the business. The fudiciary responsibility of publicly traded companies came MUCH later.
True, a "Tall" is generally between 22 and 24oz US. That works out to 650-710ml or bigger than a UK pint or European standard beer. That's the standard beer for people I know =) Just the right balance between trips to the bar and keeping the beer at acceptable temp.
All modern nuclear designs have zero net thermal output into a body of water. This is EPA mandated because hot water discharge is super detrimental to the body of water. So closed loops of cooling fluids are used (generally miles of looped pipes which radiate to the surrounding soil). There is no reason such a system could not be used in the desert, although the primary cooling loop in the convection towers wouldn't be as efficient so the in ground loops would have to be longer.
Hmm, that's funny. Large insurance companies have decided the exact opposite, making one large central server farm redundant and available is MUCH easier than making tons of remote sites hardware redundant and available with data backed up. In the case of one large customer I used to support they had a pretty good fallback plan, they sent out a dual line modem router and a technician if the broadband line went down with an extended ETA, this happened much less frequently then a hardware repair call for service on a PC. The achiles heel of this plan is that anyone with even a modest amount of healthy paranoia is not going to want to run their applications from MS web farms with MS in charge of their data.
Thanks, found the file, interestingly enough the copyright is 1991, so obviously POV is more than 10 years old =) Header says it took 40 hours to render on a 486/33 (probably at 640*480, no AA!). Unfortunatly it will not render under modern versions of POV, even with #version 1.0 directive.
God when will people stop using that term incorrectly. Google did not raise $23 Billion with this stock offering, therefore $23 Billion is the market valuation, NOT the market capitalization. Market capitalization is stock price times outstanding shares, in Googles case that is significantly less that $23 Billion (in fact $1.67 Billion according to the article).

Blah, when will Lucas get it, we want the origional damn films as shown in theaters, not his revisionist history with all the damn modern FX. Jeezus if South Park is making fun of you you know you are doing something wrong.
The problem with that is certification (or lack thereof). Demodulating a signal is (almost) always legal but broadcasting with an uncertified device is often not legal.
Actually I use this to my advantage, if the altitude from the altimeter starts changing rapidly then I know a storm is coming =) Comes in rather usefull when mountain climbing.
If you want to automate Spybot just enter this as an entry under schedule tasks:
"C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe"/AUTOCHECK/AUTOFIX/AUTOUPDATE/AUTOIMMUNIZE/AUTOCLOSE
This will keep spybot up to date and running automatically on whatever schedule you define for the job.

I think it's an oversight at this point. Besides you can set auto update to download and ask you before installing any updates.

50MB for the credit card ones and 180-220 for the full mini's. You can fit a LOT of utilities in 50MB =)

At first I thought you said LOGO, I was like "cool, a photorealistic movable turtle cursor".
the image of the train station with the jade tiger that was in the shareware catalogs back in the day advertising POV?
