Now, if I could get one with over 1TB of RAM installed too, then I'd be in business.

If you're serious about this and your time is worth enough money, try a Dell r910 with 48 threads, 1TB of RAM, and 16 SSDs. More than enough PCIe I/O to add in a bunch of GPU's.

Man Wants to Donate His Heart Before He Dies 456

Gary Phebus wants to donate his heart, lungs, and liver. The problem is he wants to donate them before he dies. Gary was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as Lou Gehrig's disease, in 2008. Phebus says he'd like to be able to donate his organs before they deteriorate, and doesn't consider his request suicide because he's "dead anyway."

No, but there -has- been a mass breakout of 'hacked' Google Apps / Twitter accounts. What's that, social engineering and guessing of weak passwords? Well, that doesn't have the same cachet as poking fun at newsworthy companies, so we'll just sensationalize it and give it a misleading title instead.

This would be funny except it's scary instead ...

Also, sad. F'r instance, http://images.google.com/images?q=windows+powershell&imgcolor=black&imgsz=med

I will now translate "I hate what I fear, and I fear what I don't understand. Unfortunately I don't understand you, so now I'm going to take all your stuff and fish around with impunity until something is found with which to hang you."

Submission + - SDF Public Access UNIX System Celebrates 20 Years (lonestar.org)

Stephen Jones writes: "The SDF Public Access UNIX System Celebrates 20 Years!
http://sdf.lonestar.org/

It was on June 16th, 1987 that the SDF-1 received its first caller at
300bps. This little Apple ][e BBS of the late 80s turned into a Public
Access UNIX System with the demise of "killer.dallas.tx.us" during the
"Operation Sundevil" raids. Since then it has grown to become the oldest
and largest continually operating PUBNIX on the planet."
