My iTruck is smaller too. I'd post pix, but I fear the health of my poor little server in the hands of the/. addicted. I hook my iPod to the Line-In on my head-unit and the sound quality is perfect. A lot of head units have RCA inputs on the backside for CD-changers. I routed the RCA cables to a small stereo plug next to my cup-holder, and I plug my iPod in that way. It sits in perfect arm's reach as well.
The sound out of the RCA-Inputs is no comparison to the tape adapters. The bass is sharper, the sound is definitely clearer, and I don't have a tape player anyways, so yeah.
And don't even get me on the topic of those FM transmitters... BARF!
I spin 4 10,000rpm hard drives internal, a SuperDrive, a Zip, two video cards, a Gigabit Ethernet card, and an internal EIDE card, along will a full alottment of RAM (1.5GB), and an upgraded G4 (400mhz original, 1.4ghz now). My power supply never shows signs of inperfection.
So I doubt it's just drives.
I don't know if we really should have our society of nerds running around in Firebirds. Didn't we already have to put up with the mullets of the 80's? Now we're gonna have mullets with pocket protectors!
Why can I see an Audi monster truck somehow appearing as the result of a nerd with a mullet?
Or even more bizzare... some super genius might actually find a way to make a Firebird run right!
I can see it now. When Judgment Day comes, it's all going to be because of a Slashdotter who thinks he knows a lot more about what computers can and can't do than he really does, and goes off to solve unsolvable problems without considering the thermodynamic consequences of his actions.
Actually, I'm convinced Judgement Day will be the result of some yahoo using the SAE system instead of the Metric system. NASA [nasa.gov]
I'm still wary about pumping water into my computer. What if one of those microthin pipes were to burst? Then you'd get a microsized stream of water shorting out your not-so-micro-priced processor.
I'll stick to windtunnels and heatsinks... maybe a heatpipe or two.
In the future, the vast majority of our society will be incredibly proficient in Solitare and FreeCell. These mere "games" will be the building blocks for our future, and will pave the way into our future society.

So they have to take down a Windows server...

It's a no-brainer competition.
Step 1. Find IP address of server
2. Post link on/.
3. Server crashes 18.113 seconds later from overload
4. Collect underpants

6. PROFIT!!!
I think the mature rating should make this a no contest case in court. The parents shouldn't have been letting kids under 18 play a game clearly marked for mature audiences. Chalk it up to another case of eternal parental stupidity.
Darwin was right in this case.

Bah, mine's shinier, I use Zaino.

There is no sig.
Indeed, I don't see any oversized black anodized allen screws anywhere on these iPods. They're obviously not audiophile quality.
Actually, if you take the chrome case off, & remove the HD/battery piece, there are 4 small black anodized allen screws.
Okay... maybe they're painted. Sue me.
Man, it'd be great to flip this bastard on end and play Mars Matrix or any arcade-perfect top down port! You'd have to stand a block away though.

I don't think it's us... let's blame Fark instead!
The server is all Farked up... sounds better if you ask me.
