You'd need to reverse engineer the code in the blueray players, which will already be against the DMCA. Putting such program on-line will probably result in one of those DMCA mob-threat lawsuits protecting the government while f*cking the consumers. In one or another way they will always win, such protection will be implemented in Windows, which has set the trend in MPC (Multimedia) and will probably again set a trend in "Trusted Computing" together with Multimedia like Blueray DVD players/recorders. These companies (including the mpaa/riaa/...) are fully backed up by the government and "their" laws. Guess that's not news. The best news we can have is that consumers stop swallowing blindly which will kill off the entire blueray idea and hopefully also the entire DRM "trusted computing" hell we will go to...
Can anyone explain me what the Department of Homeland Security really is? Because I've been thinking it was a crisis center that can react on any disasters by nature, "terrorists" or whatever. 3 days for evacuation for a million dollar department? plundering? Is New Orleans such a big city to support and guard for looting? Why don't they use water purification units or tablets? It was known something huge, big enormous was coming; why didn't they start evacuating?
I wonder where your money really is going to? I'm impressed and kudos to the guy who keeps up the good work though, he seems to be taking his work more serious than some others running the country... no offense intended to anyone of'course...

I am reading it (together with kuroshin) because it's keeping me informed in trends which are also coming over to Europe. The Patriot Act and DMCA (EUCD) laws are scaring me as hell. It's also a relaxed forum to read often with funny remarks; I guess each of you has a reason why you are reading Slashdot.

I studied for electricity and the way he build this setup is quite nice, only the controller board would not be legal in the same circuit-breaker-board, in Europe...
We got strict rules what can be and what cannot be in such boards, and putting a low-voltage board with a high-voltage circuit would not be approved by our electric companies.
Although, if this would be hanging seperately, with exceptions to the Ampere clamps, it would be a nice setup or even a nice addition to check the usage of your entire house, although I think about 12 circuits would already be enough...
I wonder if this equipment is for sale in europe. I used to use my own tools together with the K8000 of Velleman to measure humidity, temperature and load; although the board is a little bit too big to use + its slow.

---the vacuum way--- Hard Drive Cooling for 10 cent (you must have a vacuum cleaner):
I have purchased almost every hard drive cooling device on the market, some costing as much as $50 or more. I have systems that place fans in front of the drive that suck air from the outside, and fans that mount underneath. The problem with these setups are that they tend to be expensive, the airflow tends to be quite low, and in general they just don't cool down the drives by more than 1 - 5 degrees. I even own one that claims an 80cfm airflow. But alas I was never satisfied with any of these cooling methods.
For over a year now I have been able to achieve a 20 - 30 degree Celsius temperature drop on my hard drives simply by using a 10 cent roll of tape from a local hardware store.
- 10 cent ducttape bracket - vacuum cleaner (the higher the power, the better the cooling!) - 3.5" hard drive (duh)
-warmth on bearings- To be serious, I've been there, done that, and it graciously destroyed my harddrive when the fan was failing... I came home - the fan was hot as hell, it knocked before I left, the harddrive was fried too (one of those older 5"-size-scsi-hardrives)...
-vibration alert- It's better to use plastic or nylon strips instead of metal because the vibrations of the fan; Next to that the case will also take the vibrations and probably make lots more noise than in normal conditions.
-ventilator tips- I am using such ventilators to cool my server rack, I got 6 mounted in them, together with a temperature meter which is built in the rack.
The best tip you can have is to use fans of decent quality. Get the ones out of metal, because they give a extra cooling effect. Don't get the cheap (plastic) ones. Best is with ball-bearing, which is quieter than a normal sleeve-bearing.
-still my best solution, the direct cooling way- 8 years ago I found it it's best to use a plate under the harddrive with 4 smaller fans that blow the intake to the plate instead of suck it away - eventually put a heatsink on the harddrive and put it on with warm guiding glue/pasta and a few screws. The heatsink must be mounted on the harddrive and the fans can be mounted on the heatsink. Let it blow ON the heatsink!
I use this method in my NAS disk (Longshine LCS8210 - which runs ucLinux) and the harddrive is cool and steady. I used this same solution in my servers and it got very steady results. Currently they are running at 35-40 degrees continuesly.
-serverrack cooling with fans- The serverrack is standing in a seperate small room, which is in the winter and night 35-40 degrees celcius continuesly. The rack itself inside is mostly 30-35. The harddrives are cooled with an extra block on top and it works perfectly, the heat is reduced and gets sucked blown on by the 6 other system fans blowing towards the hard drives.
-cooling of the room- The room has 2 fans on top for the summer for extracting the air and 2 fans on bottom in the summer to blow in fresh air. This directly from a air-duct. It sucks in dust as freak, so I am still trying to find better solutions on that which still gives the best airflow but least dust...
The coolers give me 5 degrees celcius reduction, which is good. Everything stays steady and whenever it gets too hot inthere, like 45-50 degrees I put on a spare fan which takes it down 5 degrees atleast. The servers have enough cooling in them together with the rack anyways; it's just the room that gets the heat extracted out of the rack.
-real extractor- I still got a real air-extractor lying here. Which can be built in the pipe. Together with waterproof housing on the back I might get the temperatures cooled down using it. I do not know. Since it's made for fairly large rooms (25m2) it should be good for a very small room with only a table with kvm and a serverrack.
It's the thing what starts the Man in Black-syndrome; it's their answer for the airwaves they saw for the X-files, roswell stuff, men-in-black, ET, Aliens, and all those crap movies...
They just cannot take it anymore, and they have sent this asteroid with a bumper sticker "married with earth in 2040"...
I wouldn't be suprised it would introduce some weird disease which turns all male into female and all female into male...
You'd never know, it's running out of hand and shit has hit the fan...
Imagine, a thief with a scanner goes through the vestaire and finds all wealthy coats in there by their passport? No need to feel, that time is over, just wave with the wand...
Imagine, a thief in the subway with a scanner in his hand scanning for who to pickpocket?
Imagine, a stalker, who wants to know the identity of his victim?
Already three reasons of the hunderds more; Everyone can know my name, but please, let me introduce myself before I am introduced on some machine? I live in Belgium, lucky me for this, I would not be vulnerable (yet) to people with bad intentions (toward me) with this equipment.
