I watched the FTC and FCC chairmen in a news conference on cspam last week and they both made clear that all the information will be evaluated, digested, co ordinated; then acted upon with no ambiguities.
Overall IMHO listening to the comments in the joint news conference I think that they will go for the easy targets that get the most complaints first although they refuse to specify methods it is clear that they have the will to enforce.
On the desktop, liquid cooling is far from new, and has been used in mainframes and supercomputers for decades. Off-the-shelf cooling systems for overclocked PCs can be bought from dozens of hobbyist suppliers.
Ahem, most of the modern big iron and data centers in general have gone to air cooling so this is a bad example. In fact the problems with maintaining the chilled water system and the cost were the big factors in going back to air cooling but this is also an issue of reliability. Chilled water had a high of a failure rate.
I for one think if it is internal to the box okay but trying going outside the box with water based heat rejection will be a disaster.
My first science fiction book author and this is a great cause and in keeping with the fact that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
If they people at NASA had followed RAH writings we would have people living on the moon today instead of rotating around the Earth in a glorified outhouse. Sigh.
The first modern example that comes to mind is the team at Google
in that they have done basic research and applied that result for the common good on a mass scale.
and there is money to be made by taxing on behalf of the fcc, federal, state, town, boro and county. This is socialism imposed by the FCC by taking money from one class and giving it to another class of people . Write [fcc.gov] or call 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) the bastards [fcc.gov] and tell them what you think about Universal Socialism [fcc.gov]
My Verizon Tax Bill before Vonage:
911 funding fee 0.50
Dual party relay 0.11
Interstate access charge 6.50

This is the Free version of Voice over IP that will get the masses involved. The upgrade path is Vonage and company. This is a great thing. Thank you Kazaa Skype.
The 911 argument is and will come every time that VoIP is mentioned mostly due to the huge effort that went into building the system by alot of players. Getting the physical addresses changed and databased was big and kudos to those involved. This 911 effort is now built out and everyone is mapped so now all voice services can take advantage. Do not forget that every cell phone and telephone in the USA is required by federal law to be usable to call 911 out of the box and that no service activation or account holder is required.

They could use my parents as they have never had a cell phone and I do not think they have even used a cell phone.
The more important question to answer is "how many have died or been injured while using a cell phone." The number of cancers will pale in comparision. Well Harvard studied it and came up with a new point of view that there is a risk to benefit to be considered that precludes all of the above.
To myself it it is all about improving the quality of life and the cell phone does not improve my life.

How about a thread on "no more NYT stories on Slashdot?"
strikes again. The article said no such thing as the byline.
misquote: In specific, researchers are self-censoring what they publish, talented foreign students are being denied visas (approximately 20%, according to one source in the article)
Take a you look at CEBAF and SURA. They had a large number of non-US researcher-students when it was starting up and of course the applicants should be reviewed closely if for no other reason than it has government funding. Do you want to read about the next terror cell in a headline, "funded by US government research?"
SCO should be afraid of identifying any more code because they would have no earthly idea what the history of the code might turn out to be. Court will be a nightmare of surprises for SCO - just like SCO Forum.
This is a lawyer' dream retirement project...at least until SCO runs out of cash. Since this is a public company the Feds and State can get involved and end this non-sense er I mean string it out for years with no meaningful outcome.
and it does reduce the heat in my 'radio and computer shack' by about 4 degrees during the day. I have 150W of solar and they charge batteries and those power the UPS and 12VDC equipment like radios, netgear switch, and SMC router. When the sun comes up the load comes off of the battery charger and the temperature goes down= do not need at much cooling. It is about 100W/hr of cost savings at full sun.
The really bizarre part that has not been explained is that the frequency deviated. I saw frequency deviation alarms on my equipment (ups and pdus) on the data center floor in NY, NJ, and CT and this is the first time in my 20 years that this has happened. A glaring ommission is is that PJM stayed up as an entity. Kudos to PJM.
The blame will be put onderegulation and lack of government oversight.
