I'm running a Haswell Pentium on a Supermicro C202 based motherboard that requires ECC memory. Non-ECC will not work even though it is a Pentium class CPU. I found this out the hard way.

FTFY x2.

I hope PC Power and Cooling comes out of this OK too. As a power supply guy I liked the fact that they printed out test reports and their products were built like tanks.

I wish I could mod this post "Sad but True".

I do the same thing.
I think it's a matter of putting your situation into perspective like "yeah things suck but they could be worse" or "hey there's someone out there that feels like I do".

I've been toying around with making an alarm clock that uses the same idea.
It cusses you out Full Metal Jacket R Lee Ermey style (hitting the snooze button only intensifies the cursing) instead of the usual chimes.
This way there is a good possibility your day will only get better!

I was using Gentoo back in 2003 because I was interested in squeezing out every last bit of performance out of an old PC. Now I'm using Gentoo to do the same with a similarly spec'd Raspberry PI.

If I was tasked with printing out text that needed to be archived in a vault I think I would encode the text as a QR code with the error correction set to level H first.
I would also consider laminating the pages or doing something to protect them from moisture and dryness.

Personally I toss a USB drive in a safe deposit box every few months.

Therefore the criminal charge is invalid since a weapon of mass destruction can not exist.
The charge should really be called something like "using a weapon capable of destruction of personnel and materiel en-masse to convert the mass of said personnel and/or materiel into smaller bits of personnel and/or materiel".
If the definition doesn't fit you must acquit!

Seriously though I hope they roast this guy.

Tandy 1000 RLX with hard drive. It really was a neat small form factor (for the time anyway) PC.

Does this mean I'm going to die soon?

Fake Steve Jobs also died?

Yes, I've done just that with some Dell Optiplex 380 systems. You can also use the on-board video along with PCI graphics to get multiple monitors working.

What we really need to find on the moon is oil. We'd be founding the New Texas oil rig colony in less than a year if that ever happens.

Not if the toaster has Norton Internet Security Small Kitchen Appliance Edition 2012!

Maybe not Elec 101 but 401 (at least in the US). The idea isn't that complicated but there are regulations that make putting a system like that into practice a bit of a challenge (at least in the US). The system must go off-line if the phase drifts, if the line voltage changes by x in y milliseconds, etc...
