I built an oil cooled machine a few years ago in a fish tank, it was really awesome looking....but....The oil makes all plastics parts and wires so brittle, that in just a few months they snap with any kind of movement. One of the add-on cards I had also had some rubber parts to the capacitors, and when the rubber expanded in the oil it just popped the capacitor right of the board. Also while gaming the oil would push 130F until I put an external radiator that was air cooled on it, if it is run for under 8 hours at a time the oil will actually cool down, and it took several hours to even get 5 gallons of oil warm again. On top of that...don't get me started on maintenance....the oil "crawled" up out of the tank and up the wires. I switched to fully wireless keyboard / mice / usb hub, but the power cord really had to be wiped off every so often.

While neat, there are some major issues with oil immersion. Instead, a sealed case (hot glue anyone?) and externally mounted water cooled heat sinks would do the trick. The sealed units are awesome, and they don't freeze either as it is not actually water in the sealed units. You can even get self-contained water cooled PSUs now.

Hear hear! We switched from Debian to Ubuntu years ago on all production servers...there are some real polishes that make managing the servers that much easier. Yes, it can be done with Debian, but its already done on Ubuntu...

Oh yeah, the MacroMedia preloader (MM_)....haven't seen that since 2001....and they are seriously using tables for layout...

interestingly enough....

pd-chaos - Pd library for calculating various chaotic attractors

...well at least for the next 3-5 years until we decide to cancel this project.

Might be the car design, but even rain / road wash put a mist on it so it is basically useless.

The GPS in dash and heated seat trim level also came with a camera. Seat belts are always effective. The data on seat belt safety is overwhelming, there are a few other good comments here that outline how little backup camera's do to save lives.

Our rearview camera is completely useless about 70% of the time, as the snow and mud almost always have it covered unless you physically get out of the car and clean it off. But good thing for this, lets make cars even more expensive for average joe just trying to get by.

I totally miss the art of staring at a wall while running so that the people you are playing with don't know where you are...I do not mean this sarcastically...there really was an art to it.

Subtitle and multiple audio track support seems to always work....also xbmc really loves these files.

...and poorly written python sucks up server resources. You can't say a language is bad because there are people out there who don't know how to efficiently leverage it. The reality is it uses less power / network to say calculate an md5 hash in-browser than to send a json or a full http request to the server. Despite that "bulky" inclusion of Crypto.js

I'm kind of surprised that there is not one good comment about the benefits of javascript up above this yet. I mean you can off load sooo much data to the client cpu. With the latest in webstorage and the sqlite port to JS I can actually create a friggen database server running on the client. WebRTC and WebSockets are seriously about the change everything in the next 1-2 years....I'm curious how many of the above posts are done by folks who actually do web development? It is pretty much indispensable these days, and really pretty awesome, so get used to it.
