Your mostly right, except it's called the H2H for the hydrogen version of the Hummer. (See www.hummer.com and click "Hydrogen Hummer" for a video of the governator of Kalifornia endorsing it.)
It saved by butt in the 90's to monitor and reboot e-mail routers the got hung up.
We had rows of 486 servers running a very early version of Windows NT as enterprise mail routers. Unfortunately, they'd hang-up, then so would the e-mail in some regions. Our initial solution was to keep a person monitoring the mail routers every five minutes and sign off on a quality assurance clipboard that everything was running.
This is not the kind of work that makes you want to get up and go to work every day. (It eliminated my at-work modem-surfing time.) A Lotus tech told me you could use REXX on OS/2 Warp to periodically test the state of the router software and if the session didn't respond back, reboot the individual instance of the router that failed on an OS/2 box. After a couple of weeks of frustrated swearing I got it working beautifully, eliminating several machines and the near full time job of walking down the rows checking machine hang-up states.
The downside is I had to spend at least a couple of weeks studying/experimenting with REXX and this wierd Windows-like thing called OS/2 on my own, because no one could help me with it. OS/2 was the first OS I used that come with everything in one box (wordprocessor, spreadsheet, dialer, browser, etc.)
It was good preparation for becoming a Linux geek!
You mean you'd let actual facts get in the way of a good discussion? So be it.
Knowing he was doing something wrong has more to do with eliminating the insanity defense than establishing guilt in a crime. Sheesh! I thought everybody who watched "Law and Order" on TV knew that. You guys spend too much time on the net when you could be watching TV.
...it seems as though the geometry of the light and camera would still have to be known...
You can find the geometry by applying the right frequencies of energy and interpreting the returned signal. I still think it's just easier to move the camera.
Hmmm...If I were Homeland Security and became aware of a "cruise" ship, just 3-miles off my country's coast loaded with antennas, computers and foreign technicians would I have a problem with that?
Would I allow them satellite ISP service or JAM it?
Would I allow water taxis to shuttle back and forth?
How about if I were the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) or Immigration, or Customs, etc., etc.
Did anyone actually think this through?
This used to happen on hard drives as well. In the previous century, I had a bunch of Quantum brand hard drives fail due to "sticktion." The lubricant became a "glue" over time. The data recovery tech used a tape measure to drop the drive from a certain height, held at a certain angle, to "unstick" the heads. He'd plug the drives back in, and recover the data.
It looked so simple, with no disassembly required.
I agree those Linux cluster setups are not easily scalable.
Try it yourself. Walk into any one of those supercomputer centers and ask if you can climb up on top of their equipment. Some will tell you that you simply can't. Others will give you all kinds of sensible reasons. Still others will mention safety concerns and, if you insist, others will mention Security.
Here's a calendar I'd like: You're going to be in Phoenix, AZ for some meetings the 17th through the 21st and want to know what other events will be happening in Phoenix in the same period, perhaps I'd extend my ticket to stay a day or two longer.
To do that right now, using the main search engine, I'd have to sift through a ton of non-calendar hits and probably try the search many different ways to get a good idea of events in another town. I'd want the calendar to search the local papers, hobby club calendars online, convention/concert center calendars, etc. and organize it for me.
Event ads would be targeted to Phoenix, AZ 17th through 21st as well. "Britney Spears, live in concert!" or "Security Expo!" at the convention center! Load up on freebie booth trinkets!
I'd like the results in a few seconds, instead of after a few hours of surfing on a secondary tabbed browser, so I could complete my Orbitz trip reservations in the other tab.

Here's a simple way. Boot with Knoppix CD or other "live Linux" disk.
I used to travel with a laptop, now I travel with a Knoppix CD. (much lighter & no theft worries)
It'd be better, and overall cheaper, if there were a few security storage companies handling all your info.
We here at Microsoft agree. We will work dilligently towards reducing the number of "other security companies" also attempting to handle all your data. If you fail to keep up with your license subscription fees, we'll even secure all your data from unauthorized access by YOU.
"...consider that your cell phone may transmit at about 5 watts right next to your head at a similar frequency..."
I'm not confident that cell phones transmit at 5 watts. I think the relatively powerful analog "bag" phones used 0.5 watts and the new digitals are a fraction of that.
I'd guess 5 watts would be a bit tough on the tiny batteries.
Switch? They're a strategic partner! Kind of like a regularly cheated on spouse (Viruses, anyone?), we hope they'll change so we don't have to leave them.
We can't reasonably switch because they are a "strategic partner" with my employer. That'd be bad politics. On the other hand, we have more than usual influence with the bank. I'd feel great if we could get them to switch away from Active-X for their corporate to corporate business services.

That's silly, he can't take his ball and go home.
Kind of hard to sell advertising on a channel with no content! The only way to make money without an audience is to do it Enron-style!
If he's serious, I better short-sell the stock.

Nope!

Paying less taxes is funding less evil. What more can one say?
Do you consider that relationship to have been a permanent one that failed early, or a transitory one that lasted longer than normal?
Very interesting question!

That's nothin'... I saw diet pill photo where one dude lost over 350lbs.

do we allow kids to throw salt over their shoulder, for good luck?
It works on my icy driveway. More salt=fewer accidental slips.
An underhand toss is ok for short distances, but an over the shoulder throw gets the salt further...you inconsiderate clod!

Not everyone has testicles...you inconsiderate clod!
It must depend on which sites and magazines you read. I see their "get the facts" ads in just about everything I open.

They're not big and not in the continental United States. Sorry, for the lack of a name --They are a strategic "partner."
What is this World Wide Web anyway? Can you make burgers with it?
I don't have the creativity to make a large variety of yummy burgers without it.
