It's really just your call on the setting. At the beginning of my freshmen year, I was pretty paranoid about people going into my room and messing with my hardware. I would lock the door to go down the hall to the bathroom. But then, I got to know the guys in the hall, the setting, and I became really comfortable with it. I started to leave my door unlock, sometimes wide open, and my door even faced an entrance to the building that a whole lot of people had to pass through to get to the basement.
But really, it's your call. Whatever you feel most comfortable with.
The Doom Generation was quite possibly the worst, most disgusting piece of cinematography ever produced. I was watching it in someone's basement one night, and, I swear, the next day, I had forgotten how to do most of calculus.
That much of a brain rot. The best part of the whole movie was Rose McGowen topless, but it couldn't make up for the rest of the utter crap.
Actually, for the Envision Center tour, they show a 3D plane flying in OSG on the 12-tile. I've also heard of them running the Quake 3 engine on the "Cave" display
No, the reason that it is being billed as good for homeland security is because of the event that the screen was used for. Measured Response 2004 used the 140" Thomson screen for some data perceptualization, and also utilized the Purdue Envision Center for visualizations and user interaction in the event. In the Envision Center, there's a 12-panel display that was used as the "Central Command" center, but the screen can also serve up one big image. It's powered the same way the Thomson screen is, with a projector that can also output in stereo (put on some polarized glasses and it looks 3D).
I had a lot of fun working with this stuff and seeing my work displayed on it, because I work as a java developer in the Purdue Homeland Security Institute, but to be frank, these things were just used for an "oooo, pretty" factor. I suppose a large screen can be used in some kind of remote sensing, but it's not really necessary. One complaint that I had about this event was that we need to worry less about the "pretty" factor and more about the engines driving the simulations. The visualizations are always nice, but they aren't always needed.
Actually, USA PATRIOT is an acronym for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism".
Although I do think it's a shame that it is attributed to Patriotism...
There's also the case of a guy I've heard of who bought a 300 GB firewire drive, replaced the IDE drive inside with a non-working 1 GB drive, then returning it, saying it didn't work.

Did anyone RTFA?
They could also be used in electronics to produce heat sinks of just about any shape.
This _would_ make a wicked heat sink. And mentioning that it can be make in any form could really turn heatsinks from structures that jut far out from the chip to something that is conservative on space.

Maybe other countries will take notice and start expanding their space programs... just to drop "errant" pieces of spacecraft on dissenters.
God I need some coffee.
I think some nerds don't want to be associated with a herd of any kind.
While jobs are on the decline.

Running VNC or X remotely? Why is this so revolutionary?

Why did you happen to have a hard drive around when you got attacked?? Was it in a computer engineering lab or something?

I don't know, but the guy who gets sloppy seconds is giving the other guy a head start.
I'm a man, therefore I use MAN pages when I need help. ;)
Why argue? It's the liberal arts building! ;)

Americans "ought to have" universal health care too...
Just what I've always wanted... a dancing robot!
I wonder how that case has been turning out....
You'd have to be some kind of supreme nerd to require a lens of THAT prescription.

I mean, really, use some common sense here...
It's just on the computer now.
