latest Mac Mini Server ($999 with the server software, 2.53GHz, Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 1TB disk, but no optical) draws 14W at idle according to apple it even lower processor's speed between keystrokes...
Mac mini includes a highly efficient power supply that reduces the amount of power wasted when bringing electricity from the wall to your computer. Lower power consumption reduces energy bills and lessens the environmental impact of greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. Advanced power management.
Unlike a lot of Windows-based PC systems, Mac mini uses energy-efficient hardware components that work hand in hand with the operating system to conserve power. Mac OS X spins down hard drives and activates sleep mode. And it balances tasks across both central processors and graphics processors. Mac OS X never misses a power-saving opportunity, no matter how small. It even regulates the processor between keystrokes, reducing power between the letters you type. That’s just one of many ways Apple manages small amounts of power that add up to big savings.
Mac mini is a great example of Apple’s energy-efficient design philosophy. It uses less than 14 watts of power when idle — that’s something no other desktop computer can do.

Thanks for the info, I will look into the links you provided, however, my wife, who until now never trusted doctors, and was mostly using homeopathy and acupuncture, now will not do anything without the blessing of my daughter's doctor. she will not even give zinc, or anti-oxidant supplements (which I researched and found out that they should help with chemo and/or side effects). she is so freaked out right now.
My daughter was just admitted again, she is so weak that they could not continue with the chemo, she is unable to hold anything, and does not eat or drink as much as she should. doctors have no idea why she has so many headaches/dizziness/nausea as she was off the chemo for over a week now.
Two months ago, my 8 years old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia (High-Risk T-Cell ALL).
she is a vegetarian by choice from when she started eating solid foods. she loves animals, and would not even hurt a spider if she finds one in the house she would pick it up and put it outside.
we (and she) only eat organic fruits/vegetables/dairy, and she was nursed till she was 3 1/2 years old.
she never ate any "junk food", sugars, cookies/cakes, ice cream, soda, juices, chocolate, fried foods, etc. at birthday parties she would always decline the sweets, and instead eat figs or dates she would bring from home. (now we have to give her all these poisonous chemo drugs...)
my wife prepares all the food at home, we rarely eat outside, or buy prepared food. all the food we eat is vegetarian, organic whole grain, low fat, low sugar, low sodium, etc. see her mom's web site: http://auraskitchen.com/
she was very physically fit (now she can barely stand without holding on to something...). looking back at the first symptoms, she had the leukemia when we were on our family vacation at the end of August. she hiked over 6 miles, biked 15 miles, etc. every day of the vacation.
her immune system was the best of the family, she would rarely get sick, and if she did, she would get over it in a day or two.
she is in the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program at school, and wants to go to Stanford and work for NASA and save the world (environment/animals/global warming/etc), and the long term side effects of the chemo and cranial radiation are very scary.
The polar bears' ice sheet habitats are literally melting beneath them - putting polar bears at serious risk of extinction.
The thick multi-year ice essential to polar bears has been shrinking 8 to 10 percent per decade, and already, an area of sea ice roughly equal to twice the size of Texas has melted away. Some studies forecast an ice-free Arctic in summer as early as 2050, spelling certain doom for polar bears.
The effects of global warming on polar bears can already be seen in the western Hudson Bay, where there has been a 14 percent decline in the Hudson Bay polar bear population over the past 10 years, and polar bears weigh about 15 percent less than they did 30 years ago.
Polar bears in the United States are also showing the effects of global warming. A recent report by the U.S. Minerals Management service revealed that polar bear drownings, once a rare event in Alaska, are now taking place with greater frequency due to the bears being forced to swim longer distances. Indeed, a new record was established in September of 2005 for the lowest Arctic sea ice extent since satellite monitoring began in the late 1970s.
However, we can help protect our last remaining polar bears by listing them as an endangered species. Please click on the following links to send a message to:

why not just run a spell checker on suspected spam?
if there are too many misspelled words, flag as spam:

also, with some adaptation, this can work with HTML e-mail:

none is a valid dictionary word, so that there will be many misspellings...
2 - strip only valid HTML tags, leaving any bogus HTML tags such as ab and run the spell checker again, looking for both misspellings and trigger words.
3 - just strip all HTML codes and check the resulting words, both for spelling and for trigger words.
4 - to avoid possible false positives, since valid HTML will also fail step one when the HTML is not parsed, parse the HTML and see if there are many valid dictionary words. since non-spam usually uses "nice" HTML this should be easy to parse, if the HTML is not valid, flag as possible spam.
can also check the ratio of HTML tags to text outside the tags, if there are lots of html or html look alike tags in the code, relative to the text, possible spam.
When configuring my latest Dell server, ordering 2GB with the machine was additional $900 (and you did not get the 256K module)
Ordering the memory separately via small business was IIRC about $300 each (total of $600) and you get to keep the 256K.
But wait, it gets even better... ordering via home user, and using a Dell coupon, I got each stick for $220 and free shipping.
But wait, there is still more... I returned the 256K that came with the server (other than a single 256K, must use pairs) for $125.
Bottom line, instead of $900 I got 2GB for only $315.
The server itself is a 3.0 GHz Xeon 800FSB EMT64 and a 160GB SATA, was only $450 after coupon and free upgrades to CPU and HD, and so I have a really nice server for $765 (instead of about $2000)
