Is there nothing in between the processor and the copper to slow the cooling?
Doesn't the rate of cooling that you would get from this risk damaging something physically?
I would expect having the processor cooled by a liquid (low melting point oil) and having that cooled by the N2 would be safer. You just need to run the cooler for a few minutes before turning the computer on

In the final scheme, passengers would use the vandal-proof vehicles as personalised taxis, using a smart card to tap in their destination and pay the fare.
This does not ease congestion on the roads; mass transit systems help with that - cramming 50 people onto a bus that is significantly smaller than 50 cars.
I assume that the track for this Cardiff scheme will interfere with the road system - ULTra users want to get to the same sort of places as car users after all - so having lots of these running around each containing a single person is just as bad from a congestion standpoint as having these people in cars.
Of course, another assumption is that people will use the mass transit system - sitting in a traffic jam behind an empty bus is v.annoying.
It's a security problem because the number is given out to people who shouldn't have it.
Untrusted websites can easily get the number with some simple scripting.
I have a social security number - this is neither a security or privacy problem because I look after it.
A couple of Microsoft's security people published a book - Writing Secure Code - recently.
It's obviously Windows biased with respect to code samples, but it's actually very good.
Now they just need to read it themselves - for example, all the vulnerabilities exploited by the universal plug and play fiasco (buffer overruns, trusting untrustworthy data and denial of service attacks) are well described in the book,
The root nameservers mirror between each other, right?
What does it matter if some DNS servers think there are 13 root nameservers and some think there are 14? This isn't fragmenting anything - just that some of the servers the next level down have more choices than others.
company.biz will always be the same, because all 14 root nameservers have the same information.
When was the last of the current 13 nameservers added? How problematic was that?
And the DNS servers don't need to be changed at the same time... the Europeans, say - since they're the ones complaining - can update theirs and the rest of the world can update as they feel like it.
Some British Telecom phoneboxes now contain phones with screen and keyboards instead of a regular phone.
For 20p, you can send an email and specify any 'from' address you like. IIRC, 20p buys you 7 minutes of typing time.
It appends a signature saying the message was sent from a phone. It's still 100% anonymous though (unless you happen to be caught on one of the ubiquitous security CCTV cameras sending the mail and this can be cross-referenced against BT's logs)
Isn't the only advantage of an authenticated email format that the recipient can easily find out who the sender really is?
Knowing who the sender is doesn't prevent spam being sent from spam friendly servers abroad.
If the spam is sent from within your own country, this makes using the law against the perpetrator easier, it doesn't remove the need for the law.
Spam is an abuse of the email sysem. The collective opinion is that some characteristics of the emails are bad - otherwise there isn't much to distinguish it from legitimate mail. Because it is a social problem, laws are needed to combat it.
Spam is behaviour that we can't stop, therefore we need laws to discourage it.
You really want a slow, controlled release of energy give a nice low controlled acceleration. The human body isn't up to being accelerated by a nuclear explosion. Squish!

The Docklands Light Railway in London has driverless, computer controlled trains (not cars, yet, unfortunately).

I'm v.pleased to see from the photo that they will allow bikes to be taken aboard.
The combination of bike and public transport is perfect for me and many others.

They didn't release it to the press.
...
In e-mail to employees obtained by The Associated Press, Gates referred to the new philosophy as ``Trustworthy Computing''
Now, of course, they may have deliberately leaked it

And the DNS servers don't need to be changed at the same time
Since DNS is a hierarchy, wouldn't it be just the DNS servers at the next level down that need modifying.
How many of these are there?
What are the obstacles to Nominet, say, running their own root server.
They must already have bandwidth and physical security
More redundency, especially outside the US, can only be a good thing, right?
Why send out 'broken software'?
Usually because you don't know it is broken at the time. The real world is a much harsher test environment than internal or even beta testing.
Do any of you get frustrated by the formatting of email in your inbox?
No.
Our whole company uses outlook. Everybody uses the default quoting system
Yes, they do.

Got any questions about the widgets?
That works for me
1) The most important information is at the top.
2) I can archive a single mail and have saved the whole discussion.

Yeah, I'm sure Linus would just love to spend a few years in gaol for contempt of court.
If you follow the link you will see that someone (bobsmusicroom) claims to have a copy for sale.
This is called Hawking radiation.
13" is way to small for me and, I suspect, most developers.
Try again next year.
According the this it was filmed full-frame.
Spam is only useful to the spammer if people buy what the spam is advertising.
Instead of going after the spam, go after www.poxteam2001.com
Doesn't matter if the mail is forged, if www.poxteam2001.com is profiting from the spam, set your lawyers on them.
I've used the one with the metal keyboard.
PITA to use because the keyboard is mounted too vertically. I'm average height and build, but I had to crouch to type.

About 1000 times more than nuclear.
And you would need just 42 milligrams of antimatter to give the same chemical energy that's in the space shuttle's fuel tanks.
Is antimatter really being used for medical imaging?
Absolutely. Positron Emission Tomography (a positron is an anti-electron)
You really want a slow, controlled release of energy give a nice low controlled acceleration. The human body isn't up to being accelerated by a nuclear explosion. Squish!
