Have you ever been pressured by [military, government,...] external companies to prove a myth a certain way? Things like weaponry or easy aids to crime, which is always proved to be impossible.
Try this at home, really! One day the local salesmen reps of a major networking company (that rhymes with Nabisco) came by to talk to my boss. Since he was on the phone they came in and talked to me so I showed them the etherkiller. I think it scared the shit out of them. I also got yelled at by my boss since he thinks we might not ever get warranty support again.
It's all pulpwood, grown expressly for the purpose of becoming newsprint. It's a farm crop, like corn or beans.
I won't deny that you have a point of newspapers using recycled paper, but I live in an area that has most profits generated from pulp mills and logging. Simply put - the trees are not on a farm, they're first-growth temperate rainforest trees. Although selective logging has been introduced, the logging companies and pulp mills are interested in profits, so many areas are clearcut when they can't be seen by the public (remote areas behind mountains, etc). Newspapers do use a lot of resources:-(
I did this for an old steel AT computer case, and it worked very well. Just some blobs of glue. It looks cool and didn't scratch my hardwood floor - but they came off as soon as it dragged on carpet.
Hot glue doesn't like to stick to things once it isn't so hot, so your idea works pretty well for temporary boosters:-)
Don't use a laptop as a gaming machine..but it's too late for that, so that won't help you. I just bought a Dell Inspiron 2200 with a Pentium M at 1.7Ghz, and it idles around 40-45C. When I'm gaming and the CPU is maxed and fan is on low, it only goes up to 55C..I think it shuts down around 65-80C. Anyways, there are professional laptop coolers you can order from various computer sites. They're basically a fan that sits below the intakes underneath the laptop, which means it's just as easy to build your own. Use a standard 12V fan and run it on 5V (USB is 5V). Quiet, plenty of air, and you'll get much lower temps with and without your standard fan.
Honestly, there's no point to more than 2Ghz on a laptop..especially with a P4 or latest AMD chips. Way too hot, and way too much power usage.
Then that's why! Generally, the only moving parts in a computer are drives and fans, and guess what is more affected by dust. Dusty fans will still spin if they've been kept in use, but they'll lose a lot of efficiency. Heatsinks fill full of dust too, and will cause your cooling abilities to fail - and for a 386, that isn't a huge deal. Most can run with a bare amount of heatsink and fanless, unlike today's genital scorching PC's.
200 DVDs = 800gb? No no, they store about 4.5gb each - unless you mean dual-layer, which would be 1.8TB (roughly). Single layer would be closer to 1200gb.
First off, burn your shows to DVDs and your ISOs to CDs. Why have them on the hard drive if you aren't going to use them? I'd set up an older computer system (P2 or newer or older..) with a RAID configuration. Something like RAID1 for simplicity and redundancy. Then you just store everything on that central server and your client machines don't matter.
Or get a bunch of chinese kids in your basement to memorize strings of 0's and 1's.

With a name like that, no wonder he doesn't want mispronounciations!

Nah, all nautical charts have a standard deviation. It'll just be...deviated more. Yes.
No, that's for http://urbandictionary.com/.
Or.. perhaps it will happen.

Use a LiveCD of Knoppix or similar? Then provide USB keys for document storage, or network drives?
It used a hub as a central point, and that was shut down.
But..the article is about Linksys dropping Linux support on their WRT54G routers. The product you linked to is a NAS unit.

Or haven't they already told us how it works? It's a laser rifle, and it halts them with a bright flash ;-)
"Ow my eyes".
Not quite done by Canadians then. Especially if it's getting funding from a US company...
Temperate rainforest is the stuff found in western Canada/northwest US..I'm not talking about South America here ;)

How do you stop condensation? Wouldn't the cold pack be literally dripping with it?

Nunavut isn't a province, it's a territory. And town names on both sides of border have fun names :)

They'd inevitably portray the player as a spastic in mid-seizure, flailing away on a joystick while jumping and twitching.
Wait wait wait....are the slashdot editors telling us that that isn't normal? Crap.
