I'm sitting here typing on my Powerbook G$, oopps G4... and I have to say that my genital region is quite hot as of right now. If there flopping a G5 in there, it WILL be catching fire without some new sort of cooling method.
Maybe they would go the route of the huge PCs: Huge Noisy Fans?

The attack on the Pentagon was meant to intimidate our society. It was also for ideologicl reasons. I would condsider the attack to be both a Terrorist attack and a millitary attack, there is not a rule anyware that says that an attack has have one classification.
The biggest difference between LCDs and CRTs is how the image is drawn on the sreen. Since the individual pixels on an LCD don't flicker, they do not cause the eye strain that the CRTs produce. CRTs can have higher resolutions, but the eye strain goes higher and higher as your eyes try to read something that is smaller and smaller.
CRTs refresh rates include a time period where the screen in black. This is what causes the flicker, and is the same reason that when you video tape CRTs that they have that black line that cycles through.
LCDs in the other hand don't have the black screen that shows up, hence no flickering. The pixels are either on or off, but when they are on and changing a ccolor, they don't turn off inbetween. CRTs are generally better for anything that has graphics (video, images, games etc) while the LCDs are good at giving text and... giving an accurate geometry...
Many people at my work have a LCD for their coding and a CRT for their testing/viewing (3D artwork). Why you don't use LCDs for videos etc is caused by the inability of the pixels to turn off as quickly as those in CRTs. For instance, if you are using an LCD move your mouse moderatly fast across the screen. You can see a slight trail behind the pointer. In CRTs the pointer moves fine.
Anyway enough blathering: CRTs: Faster Screen Updates, but flicker. Bigger, heavier. Good for graphics/video
LCDs: Better Geometry, no flicker, smaller, lighter. Good for text.
I go to Berklee College of Music, and all the computers here are macs. We have almost no internet connection problems from the numerous student/lab computers, but we do have quite a bit of problems witht the actuall network infrastructure. There is no MSIE that is running by default on any of the computers (not even the students, because we are all required to get a mac...). We just went through a major update on all of our earlier computers that ran OS9 and installed firefox and the like.
This might be good if we ever have a colony/moon-base up there. We wouldn't have to ship up to them sea water... but then again they could probably get some energy from good old sol...
