Funny I'm actually using NX right now. NoMachine hasn't released an update for their client in eons, and there are plenty of bugs that irk me. Maybe this competition will whip them into shape. Or maybe I'll switch...

The fun starts with HP's newer servers, which use the mini 2.5" SAS/SATA drives. Has anybody taken a DL-380 G5 and filled it with 8 SSDs in RAID 5?

Would be fun to have some research play moneys.

Correction - John Goodman wasn't available for the SECOND Xmas special.

Also of interest is the fact that Airbus's software is created by Honewell in the U.S. Not sure if any of their software is European.

Careful! Remember John Goodman voiced the original Santa in their first Christmas special. He wasn't available so John di Maggio did it. It was seamless. You almost couldn't tell until the DVD commentary.

If Will Wright doesn't get credit for this one, I don't know what to believe anymore.

I have my doubts. Have you ever seen the original Google rack? Powerful similarity. It looks legit to me.

Relax. Before you know it, all those deathstars will be replaced with SSDs and each server will have a gerbil running in a cage to power it. The gerbil bio waste will be routed to the ground and that crane will pick up each shipping container to rotate it to a fresh spot of grass every week, while the freshly fertilized patch is used to grow organic vegetables for the googleplex.

Luck. I'm a contractor and my site has my BIOS locked and set to start up every morning at 6:00 AM EVERY DAY - not even just weekdays. I am also unable to configure idle power management or hibernation.

No way! I just saw a commercial for The Colour of Magic which will be on TV this week. Sounds like I need to watch it. Or do I need to skip it and hit the book?

A program to make free long distance phone calls whenever you want. It may come in more handy on the iPod touch than a iPhone, which would be redundant.

Oh yeah - 4. Liquid cooling in every camera. Don't bump the radiator with your finger when you take those pictures.

To make the cameras of the future, you gotta have three things (any threebrain fans out there?): 1. HDR - floating point color channels to allow the adjustment of exposure in post. 2. Depth channel - either with stereoscopic setup or range finder. Allows depth of field focus in post. 3. Optical SVG - the ultimate! Forget pixels. Have cameras sketch accurate SVGs of a scene with the ability to show or print at any resolution.
