Likewise, the hazing incident at a local high school wouldn't have been noteworthy, except it was video taped. Club fires in 2003, or Rodney King in LA, or on and on.
People had died in huge numbers before, but now they could see it in theaters for themselves.
The ability to replicate a database, in real time, onto a slower system, would seem to be a key item.
As long as the DB is replicated onto a slower HD based DB. This would have other advantages, IE duplicating a DB to a remote site for disaster recover purposes.
I picked up a cheap hard wired color ccd camera, and now instead of a blank screen on a turned off TV, I have a video feed of the back yard, and the bird feeder, and wild life action.
A bare IP service, isn't going to satisfy anybody but the most uber geek, who can run his own server. Which brings up bandwidth, TOS, and other problems.
Who is going deal with it when your netblock gets blackholed?
I remember when the Howard Stern national radio show discovered someone, who happened to be hosted at my ISP at the time, discovered a realistic life size sex doll sold on the net. Did a whole show on it. 96-97?
Caused a brief problem, which the ISP solved by moving the site to a dedicated Pentium Freebsd Apache box on its own port on the switch. 4 point something million hits that day.
Wouldn't be much of a big deal, except that MS was running ads on TV boasting about their single server's ability to handle 1 million hits/day.
I've no idea what that bandwidth cost those folks, but I'm sure they sold enough to cover it.

It was the first big disaster caught on film.

How is the engine lubed? Gas two cycle engines "burn" the lubricating oil, a not terribly environmentally friendly process.
Maybe they had better things to do.
There is no reason that paper ballots can not be scanned and counted electronically, and yet still be available for recount and auditing.
That is, using optical scanning, how they do it around here, in the last (2002) election.
White paper sleeves, which I get in bulk. 6 cents each.
Then a wood rack, originally designed to hold jewel cases. Can hold a good mix of both.
Cyberguys.com has them, and Tyvek sleeves, for a bit more money.
My tax guy, with an office with west facing window, much prefers the LCD over a CRT, because he can see what he is doing when the sun hits it.

Or duplicate stories.
A tall cardboard box works well for this. Cut a small hole in one end, and tape aluminum foil over it. Pin prick a hole in the foil.
Cut a small opening in the side of the box, so you can see the image projected into the inside bottom of the box, when aimed at the sun.
That was the DIY rig my father used when I was a kid way back when, to view a partial eclipse.
I picked up a cheap hard wired color ccd camera, and now instead of a blank screen on a turned off TV, I have a video feed of the back yard, and the bird feeder, and wild life action.
It is like an extra window in the house.
Here in my town, someone captured the neighbor beating their kid. The video tape made short work of the legal procedings.
Yeah, about a year ago.
Get a low end system these days, with a big case.
Add in a PCI IDE raid card, and four drives. Configure as 0+1 RAID, to get thruput plus reliability.
Through on an old copy of windows, or your OS of choice.
With all new hardware, box is $300, drives ~$400. Good shopping should drop that cost down, or up as your needs demand.
OpenBSD just did an audit of their code for these kind of problems. So if this is an issue for you, that is the place to start.

There is nothing keeping one from building the entire GNU library on one of the BSD's.
Go into the ports directory, find what you want, and type "make install".
This is even better, in that you can just do the programs you are interested in.
One or more 20x20 furnace filters, and a box window fan. Some duct tape, or bungee cords.
Should be about $25 at your local mart, in the spring and summer. Hard to find the fans in the winter.
and installed the latest SP and has allowed MS to run software on his computer. Who is to say others haven't as well?
If you are a Windows user, you DON'T have complete control over your PC any more.
Yeah, how about the number of times a tune as been played? or the last time?
What I want is to be able to find the stuff I haven't heard recently in my music collection.
It is hard to build a drive with a partial platter, so a single sided drive is the smallest you'll get in a standard drive.
What is left is to shrink the size (diameter) of the drive, leading to microdrives.
was "none", which even after telling people, they still would have have problems getting into the account, not thinking literally.
Your typical RF modulator will do the job, put up the video to an unused TV channel, and run that to the TVs.
They come in 1 and 3 channel flavors, so you can monitor multiple things by flipping a channel.
This assumes you have a raw video feed, either from a camera, or other device.
Given that they are Canadian, probably a Molson product, eh?
They pick a small technical school (no offense to MTU). If they want some publicity, they should go after a large law school.
Oh, yeah, they want good publicity.
It isn't acidic until the co2 is mixed with the water, which forms carbonic acid.
The mixing is does at the head of the device, and isn't pumped through pipes.
