The next time you have an extra $20 million and decide to visit the International Space Station you won't need to leave the window to tell all your friends how cool it is. The ISS now has a new wifi network, so all you'll need to do is fire up Twitterrific and announce how much better you are than your Earth based friends."

That's why I voted for Power Consumption. I want a server that uses as much electricity as possible. That's why I have three old desktops in my living room acting as 'servers'. They don't really do much, I have my printer hooked up to one and the other I use for BitchX, the third doesn't really do anything at all. But they are all there, using as much power as possible.
