While they say it pushes 200mL/min, they don't say how much power it requires to do so... peltiers are incredibly effective, but suck an obscene amount of power to do so.
If this new pump requires 75W or more, then you're unlikely to win in the long run - you'll just need a bigger PSU (and bigger, noisier fan in it) to get the job done.
I was just looking at the traffic graphs on my home box this morning, and wondering "why is it never dropping below 3Kb/s?".
I took a look, and for some reason, my machine (debian linux) was chattering back and forth at a high rate with time.nrc.ca - 1.5Kb/s out, 3.2Kb/s in. Not massive, true, but certainly annoying.

Of course, I had to wait for MY neighbourhood's power to come back up as my UPS died about 4.5 hours into the blackout; my wife won't let me add the additional 300lbs of batteries required to last a full 24 hours.:( Still, I was up and running before connectivity in my area was restored.
Why would you want it all in batteries? Use the UPS to tide you over until you can fire up the gas/diesel generator. Those you can get pretty cheaply (well, compared to 300lbs of batteries) and are useful for other things too - such as going camping.

In fact, at the Esso terminal my dad worked at, the lockout "scissors" were set up with eight sets of holes in them. You threw the breaker to off, opened the scissors, then closed them so the "teeth" went through the hole to lock it out.
Then, you put your lock on, through one hole. Your buddy put HIS lock on through another hole. Anyone else that came along later? They put their lock on too, through another hole.
That way, the first guy doesn't mistakenly power the system back on, zotting some other guy that came along after him and went "Oh, OK, it's already locked out."
Did they fix the problem, though, or just patch a symptom?
It all depends what "the problem" is. If you think "the problem" is this one specific instance of bad programming, sure they fixed it. If you think "the problem" is their practices and system design that allowed this to happen in the first place, then no they didn't fix it.
My favorite is when they cheap out and buy a couple small load UPS units.
Then, since the new server and it's external storage need too much juice for either system to handle (and they don't want to power systems down to move things around) they plug one into each... and hilarity ensues since one has twice the life of the other.:/
They die, they bloat from rotting, they float for a while (the skin is really tough) until they finally rupture. The fatty chunks that washed up are all that's left by that point.
I wonder how long before you see "intro" ink cartridges (with only like 25% filled) being supplied with the original printer? I think three or four years ago?
Now if the sub was actually resting on the sea floor, then active sonar would have a hard time finding it. Of course this would be a risky maneuver for the sub.

Sit on the bottom, and wait... and wait... and wait some more. You know where the CG is, it makes huge amounts of noise, so you just scoot around into it's general line and hope you get lucky, then come up behind it and pop it one.

it's not a worthwile thing to do until ALL places are required to scan the pets and the national database is free for use. It's still worthwhile - perhaps not as effective or bulletproof as people may thing, but still worthwhile.
Why? Simply put, it's a chicken and egg scenario.
Until many/most pets have it, shelters won't buy the scanners/subs as they feel they're a useless extra expense. Until most shelters have scanners, skeptics feel it's a waste of money to chip their pets, and don't.
You can help break that cycle, and spur adoption of the chipping, by being the early adopter and chipping your pets, making the purchase of the scanners more reasonable for your local shelters.
Not only was the shuttle accelerating - and accelerating HARD - the chunk of foam was decelerating rapidly while it "fell" (or rather, tumbled upwards, but slower than the shuttle).
They didn't pull the number out of their ass, basically. As I understand, they used the two frames of film closest to the impact, figured out the time between them and the distance the chunk moved relative to the shuttle in that time... and there's your impact velocity.
(a) "Commercial e-mail" means an electronic message, file, data, or other information promoting the sale, lease, or exchange of goods, services, real property, or any other thing of value that is transmitted between 2 or more computers, computer networks, or electronic terminals or within a computer network.
I can't quite decide if this covers donations and political messages, the usual exemptions you see in these bills.
I'm guessing the word "commercial" was inserted in there to make the exemption implicit. A shame.

You RTFA, AC.
It is a pump. A pump with no moving parts, which uses electrostatic forces as the "pump".
While they say it pushes 200mL/min, they don't say how much power it requires to do so... peltiers are incredibly effective, but suck an obscene amount of power to do so.

Anyone have any more detailed links?

I restarted xntpd, but I'm wary as heck now.
It's more that they will all open their mailboxes, and the previously dormant worms, simultaneously.
The rest of the victims got it in bits and pieces - but the vacationers will unleash it in hourly bursts, as they come into the office.
It'll only be a 10-20% boost, probably, but it'll be the biggest "all in one" boost.

No, we just buy well designed servers.
We have one of these, and it kicks much ass, and strangely enough never bursts into flame. I guess we forgot the napalm addition.
