-go to an auto parts store, buy an engine intake filter and cut that up. try the foam filters. (hey, an engine really sucks air...so should flow fairly well.
Er, an engine sucks air at a MUCH higher volume than an 80 mil fan! you would never pull enough air through an engine air filter with a little bitch-ass 80-mil fan:)
Now, the furnace filter would work - IF it is not the pleated paper type. You have to get the "camel-hair" type (yes, that's what they are called, I worked in HVAC for a few years before coming to the dark side) that looks like fibers inside of a cardboard frame. The fibers are made of fiberglass. They also sell that material in bulk rolls, you can get it at Grainger - 14 bucks for 20 feet long by 1 inch thick by 30 inches wide.
You've lost those 6 seconds forever... ah, you would have just wasted them anyway...
You're right! And I wasted another 5 seconds reading your meaningless reply, and yet another 20 seconds writing this meaningless reply, in response to your meaningless reply (which clearly took you several minutes to come up with)! ! When will it all end?!?!
lol... The parent's website consumed 100% of my CPU resources (AMD K6-2 @ 500 MHz) for more than 6 seconds... With nothing else running besides IceWM and Firefox. Granted it was flash, but hell, my browser had to load the required libraries to load his/her website, much like a WP loads libraries. Oh, and Open Office actually loads faster (~4 secs). So who is wasting resources?
This is great! They are defeating cancer by attacking the very thing that keeps cancerous cells alive, apart from the rets of the body. This seems like the most promising path yet.
On the other hand, might this some day offer humans immortality, by using the telomere length modulation mechanism on normal cells? I will be the first to admit I am not educated in this subject, even a little, so is this way off base?
How exactly do you plan to kill people with a wee beam of blue light?
I dont. But it wouldn't be very hard for someone else to modify the design for more lethal applications.
Ethernet is typically connected by 8-conductor unshielded twisted pair cable. The wires inside are twisted so that they will have an immunity from certain interference. As the signal inside those wires travels farther, it degrades and it loses its ability to cancel out that interference. As the interference grows, the signal (and thus the connection speed) drops proportionately. That is why you need signal boosters, more commonly called repeaters, for distances over 100 meters.
You can connect two points at distances over 100 meters, but by doing so you would violate the Category 5 Standard and will not achieve the full 100 Mpbs potential.
Yes, the probability of interference is high, mostly for any two-way radio communication (like your wireless network, HAM radios, CBs etc. That's not to say that it will not interfere with other devices as well.
It is important to note that this technology would only work inside your home. It would never make it past the transformer at that speed, if even at all. Transformers, by their very nature, kill off any signal that would be sent down the line. Now if you could have a bypass, with a rather large resistor to cut back the outside voltage, then we might have something. Since that's not very practical, don't hold your breath.
For home networks that wanna, say, stream HDTV from a media server with something like MythTV, that sounds pretty sweet.
This has been going on for quite some time. That is why people who are fed up started their own Gnome branch, GoneMe that fixes the things they think are wrong with Gnome.
I was just discussing this earlier about whether Knoppix could do just that. I suspect it will only be a matter of weeks or even days before we see a Knoppix version that can also do this.
Or maybe with multi-session CDs, assuming that there is enough room on the CD? Programs could be loaded with the changes you have made, say, to config files... Doesn't seem impossible, and probably more reliable than a CD-RW...

is it just me, or is this just a little irresponsible to both build in the first place, then publish instructions for it? And on Slashdot?
I wonder what the legal ramifications of the author of TFA would be if someone used it to kill people...
ethernet cannot go anymore 100 metres
Ethernet is typically connected by 8-conductor unshielded twisted pair cable. The wires inside are twisted so that they will have an immunity from certain interference.

I wonder what the distance is on this deal
The range would be until you hit the first transformer, so not effective as an Internet service. See my top-level post for more information.

Let's just hope that this isn't a bad April Fools Joke!
Not likely, since it's only March...
Good point.
At first glance, I thought that the story read:
... holds degrees in physics, evil, electrical, and aerospace ...
But I wonder if a degree in evil would be such a bad thing?
Are there any drop-in-replacements for Nautilus that solves my issues?
Yup. Konqueror is exactly what you describe.
With the user base that GNOME has, can they spend the time to pay attention to all the users?
How long can it take to listen to three people! *watches karma float away*
You only say that cuz you know Gnome sucks! :) *ducks*

ha! it's a small world, after all
I was just discussing this earlier about whether Knoppix could do just that. I suspect it will only be a matter of weeks or even days before we see a Knoppix version that can also do this.
... that it's not Microsoft-sponsored? They have done just about everything else to push .NET down our throats...

... to let me sneak undetected into a ladies locker room, then we'll talk.
... that we can't moderate the article -1 redundant.
In fact, this brings up a good point. Maybe such an article-moderation system would give the editors feedback as to which articles we want to see.
Interesting theory. Who can say with any certainty that it's not true?
