I primarily use CD's for cheap, backup media - and now I'm forced to
pay this levy under the assumption that I'm ripping someone off in the
music industry. So now I burn audio CD's to my hearts content - guilt
free. And this is completely legal in Canada.
Making a copy of a sound recording for your personal use is called "private
copying" or home taping. This is not an infringement of copyright. However,
those copies cannot be sold, rented or distributed. Additionally, these
copies cannot be used for a performance in public.
Good luck in getting the genie back into the bottle up here in Canada.
My audio CD collection has grown more since the levy came into effect
than it had in the previous 5 years. Thanks CPCC!
While there may be no PSU fan to make noise, there are fans in the cooling base of the unit. While they are variable speed & controlled by a temp. sensitive controller, don't get your hopes up too high. The fact of the matter is that the fans have been moved one or two steps aways from their original locations. At some point the exchanged heat will need to be dissipated - and as of yet, I haven't seen a solution that doesn't produce noise. I've seen people brag about having zero fans in their refrigerant based cooling system - then the condenser/compressor kicks in and you have new "source" of noise.
the heated "exhaust" coolant from the first CPU is directly looped into
the intake of the second CPU, rather than having separate coolant loops
for each. I'd be interested in knowing exactly what the difference
in CPU temp was between the first and second CPU's when running full tilt.
(And yes, I do realize that the primary CPU in a dual system generally
runs under a greater load & therfore would require greater degree of
cooling,)
Maybe this isn't such a bad thing after all... if I don't hear another monotone version of "Hit me baby one more time" I may just be able to hold off from hitting some 15 year old teenie bopper "one more time".

Would that be to prevent your users from seeing what is in swap space? Or is this a paranoid "If the feds take my box..." kind of thing?
Keeping in mind that OpenBSD's primary concern is security at any expense, what kind of performance tradeoff would be expected with on-the-fly encryption/decryption of the swap space?
Essentially, what this does is shift cost from the movie studios (putting the movie to film and shipping it everywhere) to the ordinary theaters (cost of new projectors, maintainance on fancy new computers).
So in other words, theatre owners will be raising prices to recoup their costs - because you know there's no fscking way studios will be lowering their cut or subsidizing the equipment which could be used to show a competing studios blockbuster. Like $13 wasn't a rip off already...
Quick! Now is the time buy stock in you favorite compression utility as the masses swoon to find a way to mail that 4MB Flash.exe to 30+ people every morning.

Well considering that even if I wanted to get a PS2 I couldn't because they only sell them in Japan and you cannot legally export them. Plus I would rather not have all the technical manuals writen in Japanese characters.
Of course if there's a demand people will find a way to get them here. Now I can chuckle, no, laugh aloud at the folks who spent $750+ on eBay to get these units to North America.
And if the PS2's software (Ridge Racer 5) has the ability to corrupt the hardware (memory card), I can easily see Sony sticking it to the pirates if (when) the zone protection is cracked by dumping 'bad' warez to the black market.
All the warez pups rush to buy/download & burn Final Fantasy XII only to have it rewrite the BIOS with a boot up message of 'This unit has been rendered inoperable by Sony's Antipiracy division - have a nice day'.
But it's true that cars have not advanced as far as computers--if they improved at the rate that computers have over the past 15 years, today's car would deliver 1000 hp, get 100 mpg, and cost less than $1000.
I'm no conspiracy theorist, but don't yout think that just maybe OPEC/the oil companies had more than a little part in holding back progress & discouraging innovation?
...or maybe I'm just bitter that gas prices are 72.9 cents a litre ($CAN) despite the fact that it's produced here in Alberta.

Well the CRIA is pretty much shit out of luck on this one. Maybe if they had come to bat for the consumer when the Copyright Board of Canada blindly instituted a levy to all forms of recordable media, both digital and analog, then formed the formed the Canadian Private Copying Collective (CPCC) for the sole purpose of redistributing the collected funds toeligible authors, performers and makers of recorded musical works copied for personal use in Canada.

From the CPCC's own FAQ:

Once thing that I'd be cautious is running their dual CPU liquid cooler. According to the picture on the right of this page :

the heated "exhaust" coolant from the first CPU is directly looped into the intake of the second CPU, rather than having separate coolant loops for each. I'd be interested in knowing exactly what the difference in CPU temp was between the first and second CPU's when running full tilt.
