I'm currently using a GeForce4 Ti 4600 from Asus with no heat sink (it died a couple of months ago, so much for longevity, eh?). Granted, I have to be a little careful about graphics-intensive gaming, since too much playtime (about 5 minutes) will cause a hardware freeze. Other than that, it works like a charm.
I doubt that they're promoting anti-anti-spam, so much as abusing the patent system so that they can sue spammers that try to circumvent for patent infringement.
The blurb on Slashdot is misleading. I thought Alias was offering Maya for free, not Maya Personal Learning Edition, which has been offered since at least version 3 or 4. Personal Learning Edition is a whole different ballgame, since it's got a whole bunch of watermarking features in it (which basically visually degrade the quality of any work you make with it). It makes learning Maya easier, but it's not really worth it unless you either work for someone with the full version or you've got a lot of money to spend on it.

This actually makes me think of hydrogen fuel for the automotive industry. Currently expensive in relation to gasoline, but perhaps worth the expense down the road a ways (seeing how both are virtually unlimited power sources, unlike fossil fuels)... on the other hand, hydrogen fuel cells are just a little bit more practical than setting up a photovoltaic/microwave power source on the moon.;-)

Does the image look like a painting or ink drawing to anyone else? It's a conspiracy, I say!

A word for word recitation of Faraday's "The Chemical History of a Candle" lectures could be appropriate.
