It's not a stability issue, persay. For me, and I think most having problems, it's that apt complains about missing dependencies etc and refuses to install/configure all of the necessary packages. Upon reboot you're screwed. I'm currently preparing the system so I can re-install from CD cleanly without loosing all of my stuff. That'll learn me to not have a separate/home!
I don't see this as a bad thing, as your still getting it the way they want (using the official link that selects a mirror for you) I'm just not waiting for them to post the link, so I wrote it myself;)

If e.g. the CPU warms the air inside the case and the air now is capable of holding more water, will not the humidity inside the case increase and then the water condensate when it contacts the case which is cooled from the outside?
No. For the sake of making up numbers, lets say the cold air can hold 50g of water per cubic meter and that the relative humidity of the cold air is 75%. This means that the air is actually holding 75% of 50g, or 37.5g of water per cubic meter. Condensation will occure when the air can no longer hold any water, so we have a ways to go before reaching 100% humidity.
Now the air is warmed in the processor so much that it is capable of hold 100g of water per cubic meter. It's still holding 37.5g of water because there is no where for new water to come from. This means that the relative humidity is now 37.5%. We are much farther from condensing that we were before.
Water would only condense on the ram if the ram were so cold that the air immediately next to it were cold enough to lower the capacity enough that water must condense. This won't happen unless the ram is COLDER than the ambient air, like a waterblock/peltier combination or a cold pop can. The pop can is colder than the ambient temperature so the air immdeiately next to the can is cooled enough to lower it's capacity (and thus increase it's humidity) until condensation occurs.
Just make sure that your computer parts are warmer than the air inside the freezer and you'll be fine.
Since cold air has a lower capacity to hold water, warming the air should decrease the relative humidity of the air, bringing you farther from the dew point and make condensation less likely. Just let everything sit in the cooler to get nice and cold before you turn anything on and I think it should be just fine.
It's just for things like water blocks with peletiers where the ambient air temp is really right and the heatsink is super cold that you have condensation issues (like a can of pop.) With the extremely cold (and thus dry) ambient air this issue goes away.
My only concern would be if the freezer was often open for long periods of time letting in warm moist air, but even then I would expect it to condence on cold surfaces like the outsides of your cases, etc, and not on places that will short out.
This constraint is a real bitch, just because it's so arbitrary. If you're really insistent on this, you're probably going to need something specifically customized for you.
Well, as he mentioned, PointSec has a product that does just that, but it's not OSS. It shouldn't be hard to add a patch to trucrypt that adds this as an option. Just forbid the creation of volumes on anything connected to IDE, SCSI, or SATA (or maybe only allow USB). I'm just not convinced their is much demand for that feature outside of this guy, but it I guess PointSec seems to think so, so maybe...
I'll let you in on a secret: if you consider all costs, and return on investment, using VMware is a competitive advantage over using Xen.
Xen: free. Linux: free. I don't understand where I would spend any money turning 1 linux server into 2 linux servers ith Xen. We don't use Windows on anything but the domain controllers, but Xen doesn't windows (nor would I want to virtualize our DCs...)
This noise device uses very high frequency sound. It will be my it's nature short ranged. How close do they have to be to his property for it to be a problem?
The product page touts itself as effective for "between fifteen and twenty meters" That's roughly 45-60 feet. If I had one of those on my porch it would definately affect both of my neighbors as well as anyone on the side walk in front of my house or in the steet.
Younger police officer probably wouldn't work, though. Police officers all have gun training on the firing range and probably all loose the upper registers a little younger. You'd have to get someone with undamaged hearing, not someone younger.
Besides, this old man can't even hear the device himself. If you disabled it in a non-visible way he wouldn't KNOW it was disabled.
This isn't mosquito noise (like recordings of bugs) This is a single high-pitched tone from something like a piezo-electric buzzer. There isn't a range of sounds, but an individual tone. Mosquito is simply the devices name
I probably would have gone crazy and snuck over at night to dismantle the thing after a few days of putting up with that whine.
That's a really good idea! Sneak over at night, pop the case open, and disconnect the buzzer! He won't know if you put it back together properly because he can't hear it anyway and it'll look the same. This is, of course, providing the device is on the outside of his house. But this is way better than that anything in the revenge book from amazon mentioned earlier
There was a piece on NPR radio a few weeks ago about an inventor who is marketing a device similar to the mosquito one in this article only it is specifically desinged to be annoying to teenagers
That's not similar to this device, that IS this device. That's what his elderly neighbor put up.
GPUs tend to be more vector processing units, whereas standard CPUs are less fine tuned for this type of processing. Using a CPU as a GPU would suck.
Now, AMD has talked in the past about using a 939 (or I suppose AM2 now) socket for either a CPU or a GPU. The motherboard would have the hardware to plug in a monitor etc but a graphics card upgrade would be more of a graphics chip upgrade. Want 2 CPUs? Put in a more normal graphics card into a PCI-E slot.
They've brought it up a few times; I wouldn't be too surprised to see that happen in the near future.

If MS Office can open ODF then people with special needs can just use that to open the ODF file and everyone else can use whatever they want that supports ODF. That's the beauty of an open format.
Massachusettes didn't pass a law saying all citizens and government employees of the state have to use OpenOffice, just that the state has to use ODF for public documents so anyone can read them. Maybe if MS wasn't such a duche about how they handled (licensed) their XML format, this wouldn't be an issue.

No, that's a different problem. My pretend complaint was that elevators were too difficult for Mac Users who are used to simple interfaces. What you're talking about is just a more efficient elevator, and it's been on slashdot 2 or 3 times when it was in various testing stages on a building in Seatle I think.
I like those password, but I would just type them in full. All of our passwords are phrases that are over 30 characters long including punctuction. This excludes those that need to be entered frequently and repeatedly, like that for managing printers, which is short and not very secure but doesn't really matter because that password can really only stop and restart printers. I used to abbreviate like you did, but I've found I can often type the whole phrase faster since I don't have to think of the word, then determine the first letter of that word and remember if it's capitalized or not. Now I just think of the word and type it.
