Normally I am skeptical about online sources for any level study. In fact, I am convinced that the internet has contributed to a decline in academic traditions in the United States. But there is one sight I find quite helpful in my study of Greek:

Perseus has many classic Greek works, in Greek or in translation, and has now become invaluable to young people studying Greek who do not want to check out the entire Loeb Library to do research.
This happened in April of this year: I was working late one night because we received a couple new SCSI hard drives for our file server. I had never installed a SCSI drive before, and I had little experience with RAIDs.
So I set about installing the drives in the hot swap bays. Then I rebooted the machine and ran the RAID config utility. I guess I was a little too tired because I wasn't reading very carefully. When presented with the option to initialize the RAID, I chose to initialize channel 0 (the existing drives) instead of 1 (the new drives).
Imagine my suprise when the file server would not boot after finishing the RAID config utility. I knew it was going to be a long night so I called my friend down from Seattle to help. We stayed very late and came in early the next morning, fueled by energy drinks.
Luckily I had tape backups of all of the deleted files on the file server. Setting up Windows 2003 in our domain wasn't too hard either. What was really bad was that we found that, due to an oversight over a year prior, none of our accounting data was backed up! All payroll, income, tax, expenditres, all of it -- gone! Needless to say, I feared for my job. Luckily I work for some great people, and the data re-entry from paper hard copies of all of our accounting data continues to this day.

That has something to do with why America has fallen off the top of Science and Technology. We use all of our great technological resources and understanding to make iPods. Then the consumers go into debt to buy the toys, and the economy is all-of-a-sudden very shaky. Another way of saying it:
. . . and they initiated the Renaissance by preserving ancient Greek and Roman writings.
It is important to know that climate plays an important role in the preservation of ancient documents. The arid climate of the Middle East is optimal for preserving documents, particularly those written on papyrus and vellum (animal skins). So the fact that many ancient documents persisted in the this region may not necessarily be credited to the extraordinary preservation efforts of the people of the Middle East; it may simply be that, try as they may, residents in Europe could not preserve the documents due to the temperate climate.
I am glad to see that Intel is addressing power consumption with the server chip Woodcrest. After all, desktops and laptops are small potatoes compared to servers when it comes to power usage. For corporations with large server implementations, I could see this saving a lot of power (=$). Good move for Intel; lower power bills are good leverage for new technology purchases -- many of us used that same argument to upgrade from CRTs to LCDs. It is nice to finally have something to be excited about from Intel again.
We were watching TV one night and my friend spilled a 12oz of Pepsi all over his iBook. Thanks to Apple's superb engineering, all of the liquid dribbled off the side, finding no crevaces through which it could enter and destroy the machine. In fact, the Pepsi beaded up as if my friend had waxed his iBook . . .
OK, I admint it, I am a dork. When I viewed the replies to my initial comment, the above mentioned was nested so that it looked as if it were a direct reply to mine. Since there was no quote in the reply, I was confused. Still, I think the points I made in my post are valid. People keep missing the significance of this story altogether.
Wow, did you read the article summary, the linked articles, or my post? The point of this article is that Apple is suing a news agency for documenting the OSx86 phenomenon. They provided information on how to install Mac OS X on a normal PC and they provided video to demonstrate that it can be done. Apple is not going after MacBidouille because they illegally distributed the Developer Kit DVD; they didn't. Apple is going after them for reporting the information.
Furthermore, Apple has no legal oversight of all the documentation which has been generated by OSx86 hackers. The installation docs belong to those who prodeced them; Apple does not own them just because the notes concern their product. As we all know, these installation guides have been distributed freely on the net, and MacBidouille posted these notes on their site. Also, the video depicts something that may or may not be a crime. As we all know from watching the news, distributing a video which documents crime is not a crime in itself. Apple did not produce the video, so they do not own it. The usage of their trademarks should be covered under fair use. It is not illegal (nor should it be) to document crime, even by telling exactly how it can be done and showing the crime being comitted.
The point is that this story and my post have nothing to do with EULAs, the GPL, licensing, copright law and basic tenets of private property. It has to do with news, freedom of information, and free speech rights.
Is it illegal to post this sort of information? If not, can Apple convince a judge that posting this information is harming them, and thus win a civil suit? I doubt it.
I am really excited and want to do this project . . .
. . . but I am at work right now.
I would love to see a torrent which contains an ISO which has been patched to that it will boot in my x86 machine and install OSX. Several pages have instructions for making patched bootable ISOs, but they never post the finished result. Can anyone help a brother out?
So fuel economy has a lot to do with it as well. This was during the big energy crunch when the U.S. was at odds with Iran in particular and trying to cut down on foreign oil consumption (sounds familiar). So since fuel efficiency has increased so much since that time, our speed limits could stand to increase without much harm.
Actually I did read the entire article summary and still thought the entire time that it was talking about PC manufacturers going out of business. I guess I am too dense and I have never thought of "failure rates" of PCs in that sense. Oh well.

Covering 49 square miles in Iowa would be nice and easy. But San Francisco? The topography may present a challenge.

Actually, the summary says that their design is inspired by the human eye, so it is more like intelligent copying.
I'm glad to see someone patenting an actual invention instead of just claim-jumping someone's idea for a website layout.
Actually, God already invented this. These guys just took advantage of the fact that God did not file a patent for the human eye with the USPTO.
If they are not banned outright, don't be suprised if your FBI file is augmented when you check this book out from the library.

This page has links to all the pertinent sites and torrents. It also lists several alternative methods to those in the main linked article.
It was estimated a speed of 55 mph used 17% less fuel per mile than a speed of 75 mph (120 km/h).
