For something like a server, 1 fan is a bad idea. Single point of failure.

Thanks... And I was focused on making sure I spelled the long words correctly :-)

Work on you reading comprehension... "not incompatible".

Alcohol & ammo are better things to stockpile for trading "after the fall" than gold.

Windows is still available and widely deployed.

Let google maintain it for you.

People were willing to fight and die to gain their rights as gay americans.

I'm sure some people still are.

Sure you can. You can fly with a gun on the plane. No ammo, and the gun has to be an approved situation (I forget if it's a locked box, or just a lock), and in the luggage you are checking, and you have to declare it. But you can certainly take a gun into an airport in CA.

at $3K, it's got 4 cores, but you an get 12 for an unannounced price.
Still, the box is probably 1000x more capable than the NeXT Cube I bought ages ago for $6500...

I can't imagine setting up something like Silk Road without a 'burn it all' setup like Mel Gibson had in Conspiracy Theory.

No, but all your base are belong to them anyway.

That assumes the fiber travels in a straight line. This is not the case, though people have been blowing holes thru mountains to straighten the routes to make trades faster...

Yeah, or turn the screen bright white... but the software would have to 'work harder' (and probably make it less secure) with wildly variable lighting.

Also, the phone could use the accelerometer to determine it's movement and compare it to the expected change in photos given the 3D model of your face stored in the phone.

No, not just a photo, but rather a video/series of photos from different angles, so you'd need a fairly realistic 3-D bust of the person's face.
