Radio waves? There is nothing electromagnetic about mechanical sound waves

McGinn had quite a few facts wrong in the press conference. The equipment is working fine now and the overheating only caused a minor amount of downtime. The major issue though was the backup generator never kicked in because as it turns out, the electric starter for the diesel generator is connected to the same bus. Labor Day weekend was then choosen to fix this majorly obvious design deficiency.

The datacenter is on the 26th floor of the municipal tower and the overheating bus runs up to that floor. The power company in question is municipally owned, either way it would be the city's problem.

I wouldn't quite call gma500 linux support non-existent. I have a dell mini 10 that includes the gma500 "poulsbo" chip and run ubuntu happily on it. While it didn't work out of the box, with a bit of fussing I got it working to my satisfaction. I can even play fullscreen 720p video on the 1336x768 display. The drivers aren't as polished as other chips but definitely far from non-existent.

Don't miss the klingon part near the end of the video! "To duplicate data is a great dishonor!!!"

Why would you use a laptop and a dongle to transfer data over this thing? What was the submitter thinking, why wouldn't you just use wifi?

This is just ridiculous the amount of work they have to go through to half ass archive geocities. Why can't yahoo just hand over a stack of hard drives to archive.org or someone?
