I enjoyed that segue. LOL, I did. Tastes vary.

To elaborate on tsotha's explanation that "Hydrogen only burns in the presence of oxygen": an explosion requires a nice mix of something flammable and oxygen. If the mixture isn't of the right proportions, no explosion. If the flammable molecules and the oxygen molecules are not nicely mixed, no explosion. Drop a match in a bucket of gasoline: no explosion. Throw the bucket of gasoline into the air and walk into the mist with a lit match: big explosion.
Hydrogen does have a high flame speed. So a better choice for lifting gas might be methane - super abundant and cheap, albeit with half the bouyant force of hydrogen.
The potential explosiveness in a fully fueled 747 likely exceeds that of the R100.
I'm too lazy to look it up, but I suspect the majority of deaths in the Hindenburg accident were from falling or choosing to jump or poorly designed escape routes.

I've started using a concatenation of many easy words, related to the system and my daydreams. According to xkcd, long plain word passwords are more secure. So at work, one password is "servertwomybitterlife". At home, it's "Anypornonthis24inchmonitor?" My bank account is "Ohlookabalancebelowzeroagain!"

A sister company of where I work adds some fiber-specific layers on top of ArcGIS. It's worth checking: http://www.telvent-gis.com/products/fiber_manager.shtml

One new thing they did here was put a heatsink on the SOC. I have not seen that before. Earthshaking innovation, I know.

What's in the same price bracket that has a SATA header, and you have personally used? The Cubieboard looks promising.

Or print out a case following the community's designs, using good old 2-d printing. :)

What sort of hard drive is connected to your fileserver? I'm thinking of doing this, but wonder about the reliability of a consumer-grade external USB connected drive. You're unlikely to lose data, but won't the USB-SATA interface cook itself if left on forever?

Shake the phone. App measures momentum. Hold onion in same hand as phone. App measures momentum. Determine mass of onion. Take picture of onion. App determines that onion is onion. Cut off portion of onion and eat it. Shake remaining onion plus phone again. Subtract, and log portion of onion eaten. Profit!

It just goes on and on with the relentless conflict..

A good Q&A at the end of the video answers some of the questions asked here. I'm disappointed no one asked him if they're using it for gambling. Although data mining of this complexity may not be needed. Anyone profiting using this simple metric to gamble on games?

Probably less expensive and more reliable to install a collection of fixed monitoring stations, watching your favourite ~10 locations. Game cameras, zigbee pro mesh and a concentrator or two to get it back to your alpine cabin.

Do you really mean open source? Or do you mean *nix? You don't mention what your area of expertise is, so the difference may actually be irrelevant. Consider imbedded systems, firmware, device drivers, etc. Down in the guts, the difference becomes somewhat meaningless.
