I don't know why windows doesn't just have a reset button for all the settings to return it to it's original condition. It's a bitch to reinstall it twice a year, you know.
This will never work on Windows. With all the registry crap it has, I don't see anything like this working. The registry is a nightmare to fix if anything goes wrong, it is ALWAYS easier to reinstall. In fact, I'm reinstalling XP tomorrow because of all the crap and bugs it has accumulated. I do this at least twice a year, and its a shame.
I'm tiured of people saying to need to pass high school. I didn't and I am making 60k a year. Ok, mainly because I'm a fricken genius with this shit, but still.
I have the Koolance EXOS, which has pretty much the same parts but this one has them built into the case.
I bought my Koolance about 2 years ago and have had many problems. First the raditor spung 3 DIFFERENT leaks due to crappy welding. I sealed it up with some silicone I had laying around, lucky for me it has not giving me leaks since. Next, I found the part where you hook the tube onto the CPU cooler was crappily made, There was this tab on the bottom of it (something left over from manufacturing) which caused the tube to leak because it could not make a seal. I fixed that with a nail file. AND THEN it started growing algae in the system becasue Koolance didn't put enough bleach in the mix. 1 year later, when I was opening it up to clean the radiator (you have to do it to clean all the dust off or the things useless) one of the connections to the resivoir spung a leak. This was no fault of my own, the plastic was cracked and by me moving it it finnaly gave way. It splurted green water everywhere (it has UV green dye in it and it sprayed because I had the machine on) The bleach in the water semi-bleached a nice shirt I was wearing, that sucked. I used 3 sticks of hot-glue to close it up. That took 3 times before it stopped leaking.
Since I fixed those 4 problems, it has been fine for me =) If it was anyone but me, they probably would have given up, however.
I am still extremely happy with it though (probably because I want to think the 400 dollars on all the parts was worth it) It is running right now and totaly silent.
(Mod me up, I realling need the points!)
I seriously question how these people can LIVE with themselves. Their products harass millions, slow down the worlds computers, and hurt the internet expirience. I could not stand to live with myself knowing I was screwing millions a day, an hour, a minute. These people MUST be heartless.
I have finnally saved up enough money and I am currently in the process of build 3 huge media servers. I am buying 250 gig drives and filling them all up plus putting PCI IDE controllers in them.
I estimate around 2000 gigabytes a server so that is 6 terrabytes all networked via bigibit ethernet.
The Army next March will begin to deploy Talon robots from Waltham, Mass.-based Foster-Miller. The robots will be mounted with M240 or M249 machine guns, said a Foster-Miller spokesman. The units also can be mounted with a rocket launcher. Defense agencies have been testing an armed version of the Talon since 2003.
Putting guns on robotic vehicles is a natural evolution of the technology, which is being adopted to decrease risks to personnel in the field, the company said. Several robots, including the Talon and the PackBot from iRobot, have been used to conduct surveillance missions such as taking pictures inside the caves of Tora Bora, Afghanistan, during the conflict. Other robots have been mounted with "distruptors," guns that disable bombs and mines.
A robot coming next year from John Deere and iRobot will ferry supplies to and from the front, navigating its travels with little human input.
A robotic vehicle with a machine gun will essentially enable soldiers to stay in a safe area while attacking an enemy.
Unlike most robots, the machine gun-mounted Talon won't be autonomous. People will guide it via radio commands or fiber networks and then have full control over the gun.
"Driving, observing and shooting are always done with a man in the loop," the Foster-Miller spokesman said. "The labs like autonomy, but the users themselves always like to have control."
The Talon weighs about 80 pounds, travels at 5.2 miles per hour and can go about 20 miles on a battery charge. In "wake up" mode, in which the unit conducts surveillance but remains mostly dormant, a battery charge can last about a week. The Talon was used in Bosnia to dispose of grenades and during the cleanup of the World Trade Center.
The company has received more than $65 million in orders from various defense agencies.
It's already hard enough to tell the difference between terrorists and friendlies in an urban setting, how are they going to tell on a crappy NTSC television?
This is awesome!!! Oh, wait.... You need to stand outside in the cold to get reception, you can't play the songs you like, every song you listen to is choosen by some jerk at a desk, you can't save what you hear to an external device, and eveyone will be asking how you could be so stupid.
This is despicable. The FTC is a government institution, serving the people, not the industry lobbyists. OH! WAIT! This is America, land of the corrupt.

Yeah, sounds great until you mix the DNA with human and make ComputerMan!

Oh...wait...
Its called "Echelon"
...And I used to think the US was intrusive. I have to admit, though, the feds already archive all the email sent over the backbones anyway.
In America, DRM music plays YOU!
Smarthome already has it's own control system, why do we need another?
So now two evil corperations can take away the right to my music AND my money!

They are going to throw that all away? For what?
I estimate around 2000 gigabytes a server so that is 6 terrabytes all networked via bigibit ethernet.
listed are the specs:
SERVER (x3) 2.4 ghz Pentium 4
8 250 gig drives
IDE controller
VideoDiskRecorder is a PAL only system. This will not work in the US, since we us NTSC.
Call me when it gets to the Pamela Anderson stage.

When will they learn that restricting the consumer isn't going to get them anywhere. IDIOTS!
Its GIGABITS not GIGABYTES
