I think that you have this idea laready, but i must steress the inpoortance of having a front end that can be accessed form a web browser. As a sidenote, why not use SQL and hardened PHP to do the back end?
First of all I think it isn't the best idea to insulate a computer compartment. Computers generate a fair amount of heat and tolerate cold quite well. Even a bit of condensation will not harm them unless it causes a short.
I think it would be more practical to make sure that the hard drives you are using are rated for those temps. But >0 Celsius isn't really all that cold. I would imagine that you can get away with just heating the hard disks or just leaving them running to keep them warm.
Most of the effects in this terrifying scenario begin to occur at much lower temps and the quick move from cold to hot.
The internet community had better start looking at how to integrate Bit Torrent into the internet itself It could very well save it from choking on itself. I beleve that eventually that in return for using the net you should be required to spread the love. This model also makes it a bit harder for illicit enterprises to operate.
Itunes music sharing is not set up to stream music with computers outside the subnet. There are hacks that allow the saving of music files but the software itself dosen't break any of these silly rules.
As a matter of fact computers don't use as much power as you think. The monitor can sometimes use more power than that computer itself. Run BSD on a G5 or Sparc and use flash memory, (a little expensive) but the fastest and least power using alternative and you should be good to go!
Ok, what we really need to do now is infect his daughter with HIV. I bet a cure would be found really fast then. I'm sure it would be some kind of patent encumbered and extremely expensive vaccine tho. (and he would make billions from it).
(This could be funny or flamebait, I don't know which way it will go but it had to be said)
Good work on your bittorrent link for that movie. Seems finally some posters are waking up to technology that prevents slashdotting. Nice try for the theora to java people but the movie still played slowly without sound. (mabye its my old computer but i don't think so). So, when is bit torrent going to be ported to java? (yes I know what azueraus is but it dosen't work from within a browser) BitTorrent needs to come to the browser and when it does I will be even more happy.
Dear Mr. Glaser,
Do you truly feel, from an ethical and legal standpoint that your company's practices regarding iPod compatibility are ethical and legal?
What are your feelings on proprietary formats have you considered that AAC is actually an open format? Given Apple's Quicktime file format being integrated into IEEE standards how does that change the standards war in your opinion?
From the picture it looked like a water cooled reactor. Might they take a que from the chineese and make it a pebble bed design? This would make it cheaper, safer and more efficent. Hopefully they will do it this way as it is the best technology available.
IF people pay for it willingly. Apple has demonstrated that paying for things you download can be worth it for all involved. As I was saying earlier to somebody i like mutually beneficial relationships.
If its worth paying for, or is legally shared by artists (such as live music.shn files) then HELL YEAH.
As long as they are going to screw us then the feeling will be mutual. Simple as that.
Im sure every hacker right now is thinking "damn I wish I had thought of that! However even if the incoming server used authentication as basic as caller ID it would help alot. (but with VOIP spoofing who knows)
Companies like Vonage should set up a system to combat this problem before it even becomes one. I am not quite sure how exactly it works but I would imagine that voice messages get delivered through a server owned by the VOIP provider. All that is necessary to prevent others from leaving messages or calling you is a simple D/H signature put on the messages by a reputable phone company or service provider. The messages or calls without this signature get thrown into the celestial bit bucket by your VOIP router. Lets nip this one in the but before it becomes the problem. Shouldn't be to difficult given that you are paying for a service that is controlled by your service provider.
This hypothesis seems to go against logic but maybe it holds some water until things change a little. When you have one very good point of control to access to the system where is the difference then? Also when distributed systems use multiple locations as well as multiple configurations doesn't this create a more survivable system? The laws of nature clearly say that biodiversity is directly linked to an ecosystem's success. An attack or technical problem can not effect every part of a diverse system in the same way. Lately I have been comparing the laws of nature to the laws of technology and I have come to he simple conclusion that since computer systems are governed by the same laws it is inherent that the laws apply equally to there functioning parameters and design. This area of convergence between the laws of nature and computing is to interesting to ignore. Software could be developed by writing an ancestor program and creating random variations that are 'naturally selected' by simulated use and disruption of the population of software being tested, evolving software basically.

I thought that was QuickTime for a second there. Then I realised that Quicktime is at 6.5.

What would be really cool is to set up some sort of dual band GPS reciever that uses both systems at the same time for never before possible accuracy.
I am using a pb g4 with 10.3.6. in Safari to try this and the sploit dosen't work against this machine.

Um, fireworks would be a terrible way to dump anthrax. Note the FIRE part. The spores would sureley get burned up in the proscess.
If it wasn't for the cost of the Microsoft Windows licence pcs would cost 100$.
Yeah, thinking about how assault weapons are legal in the us again and all... Maybe I should get a bigger gun than everybody else's'.

(by the way I AM just joking)

Any particular reason that Apple isn't represented? I think that the competition might be a bit more competitive if the G5 was available.

I'm glad he was using a helmet!
They should switch to Mac and save millions on the "computer security and support costs" that are associated with Windows use.

Let us remember there is no such thing as "secure" there is only more secure. Don't rate this "100% funny" its not funny at all.

This seems to good to be true. [Cow007s-Computer:~] c0w% Bull sweep completed.
