Should have been heat transfer from the CPU to the pot (or put if you prefer) of liquid Nitrogen.

Your post advocates a
(x) technical ( ) religious ( ) time travel
approach to resurrecting extinct species. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws.)
( ) Possibility of creating mutant monsters
( ) We are defenceless against brute force attacks
(x) People will not put up with giant stampy animals roaming about
(x) The police will not put up with giant stampy animals roaming about
( ) Requires too much cooperation from organised religion
(x) Requires immediate total cooperation from government regulators
( ) Time travel isn't possible
( ) Time travel into the past isn't possible without a wormhole which was (is) in the past already
Specifically, your plan fails to account for
(x) Laws expressly prohibiting it
(x) Lack of centrally controlling authority for mad scientists
(x) We haven't even sequenced the whole genome
(x) Being sued by Michael Crichton's estate
( ) Asshats
( ) Jurisdictional problems
( ) Unpopularity of weird old animals
( ) Public reluctance to accept weird old animals
( ) Huge existing animals occupying the evolutionary niche of the old ones
(x) Susceptibility of DNA to damage
(x) We don't even know how many chromosomes it should have
( ) Unavailability of any living relatives to carry the foetus to term
and the following philosophical objections may also apply:
(x) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever
been shown practical
(x) Religions will argue about playing god
(x) Pointlessness of an animal adapted for an ice age during a period of global warming
( ) What's dead should stay dead
(x) There are better things to spend the money on
Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
(x) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work.
( ) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it.
( ) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your
house down!
I only know enough about networks to be dangerous but, experts correct me if I'm wrong, this has the potential to allow DNS query responses to be spoofed sending the victim to either a hostile website or through a hostile proxy? Also, I guess, by injecting fake ARP packets you could deny someone access to their own wireless network?
Well, I don't know about Vista, but in XP one opens a command window and types "ftp" which opens up Microsoft's command line ftp client (presumably more or less the BSD client compiled for Win32).
We've had a hands free version for years, it's called a blindfold. It does kinda require the co-operation of whoever you're trying to cloak things from though.
I saved it in case I started getting sick from the bite.
After a while of not getting sick I was tempted for a while to see what it tasted like, never did. But meat is meat.
You do know that once you start getting symptoms from Rabies you have one choice, kill yourself now or suffer an agonising death later.
All an aviation medical proves is that you were probably alive at the time of the medical. I knew a fellow pilot who died of a heart attack the day after getting his aviation medical renewed!
