This is slashdot. How many here have 2K USD? I think i'd rather just add a resistor to my CPU fan or ground it on the 5V rail. Or something like that.

Gee, it sure sounds nice, so to speak, but at 431.00 pounds, i'd rather build a real PC, and then get to work on quiting it down.
Mind you, i have no problem with the mini itx PCs, but i would rather have something with a bit more "bang for buck". I doubt the Hush would run Far Cry very well.

Even if you were able to create a completely silent PC, as in fanless, you would be facing another problem. Air circulation. No fans means no air means ambient temperatures rise, and the the PC isn't so cool anymore. Perhaps the best would be a compromise with, say, lownoise fans, or volt modding existing fans.
An electronic trail of stolen AOL accounts and free Web pages led agents to raid the homes of a professional spammer and a credit card thief, both of whom snitched on Carr, naming her as the ringleader of the operation
She isn't the only one going down. But, sadly, there are still many more to go...
Perhaps the "very lonely, depressed, negative, anti-social, brilliant people" are simply attracted to technology, and not necessary a product of it...?
Considering the relatively large amount of people running a pirated version of WinXP, and haven't installed service pack 1, i'd say the problem is rather contained.
Microsoft is already "giving away" windows, by allowing so many pirated versions to spread. If they wanted to, they could have made it very hard from the beginning. Didn't Steve Ballmer say something about piracy helping them to gain a market share?

this supports ogg vorbis. And mp3. But i don't think it does AAC

Trust is earned. You don't becone trustworthy, just by marketing. Ask yourself "Has Microsoft earned my trust?"

Saw the same thing over at Toms Hardware Guide. And it was overclocked to 3100+
Anyone reading my brainwaves would get a piece of my mind...
"Please come to the booth, converse, vent, tell us what you love about Linux and tell us what Microsoft is doing right and doing wrong," Houston said.
Why is MS suddenly interested in what Linux has to offer as advantages...? An MSLinux perhaps... Or maybe they are planning new "innovations"
Mr Thompson can babble all he want. The Internet isn't goint to change just because he dosen't like it.
I'll just make my own Internet. With blackjack. And hookers. In fact, forget the Internet!

now if they only allowed us poor windoze users to remove wmp in the first place, but no, it's a part of the os now
"In ancient Troy stood the Palladium, a statue of the goddess Athena. Legend has it that the safety of the city depended on that icon's preservation."
Now we're going to build a big statue of Bill Gates to protect us from the evil (windows) virii.
yeah right
