That's more steampunk than cyberpunk, but still impressive.

Submission + - Pop artists support Megaupload; Universal censors 1
TheSHAD0W writes: Several well-known artists, including P. Diddy, Will.I.Am, Snoop Dogg and Kanye West produced a song in support of the site Megaupload, recently targeted by law enforcement as a "rogue site". The music video was gaining popularity — until Youtube received a takedown notice from Universal Media Group, claiming it violated their copyrights.

That's what I finally had to do, when some entity (might've been download.com, might've been someone else) offered an alternative download location for my software - which bundled some sort of malware installer onto my software. After one attempt to remove them as an alternate, I was told I could request my software be removed, and that's what I did. This occurred back in 2004.

It'd be more cost-efficient to improve the air flow or add liquid cooling. Yay mineral oil baths.

So they're to be hated so they don't give EVERYTHING away?
Also, what they have available is really good quality, no crap.

Some large numbers on the sides or hood of the car would make image recognition, if not trivial, at least relatively simple.

As suggested by a comment to the video, it appears to be some water on top of a piece of glass in front of the camera, being blown around.

I think I'd rather remap my phone's keypad to have 7-8-9 on the top. Especially since so many phones now have the keypad on a touchscreen, where it all can be done in software.

Actually, that's a good question... Assuming no time constraints, at what point does it make sense to buy hardware rather than use the cloud? Take that budget above (roughly US$6K) and the best hardware you can get for that price: How many months would you need to run it, flat out, to equal the number of floating-point ops EC2 would give you for that cost?

It's not just money for CAT5; the DSL hardware is more expensive than the wire. The problem is that you can easily go beyond the maximum network diameter for Ethernet in a large hotel. DSL is good for thousands of meters, not hundreds.
