Speaking of Engadget: Did you see the low tech tea serving automata? You can build one entirely out of paper. [Manion]

Linux kernel 2.6.14 release impacts nearly every architecture. Lots of cool stuff has been merged like Centrino support and FUSE filesystem (think GmailFS). I’d be all over this, but still no Reiser4.

  1. Well, it doesn’t sound like we’re going to be able to softmod the Xbox this time around… But I rest assured knowing that you can always hack silicon. I suspect it won’t take TeamXcuter too long on this one. I’ll go practice my soldering skills.

  2. joelanders: sure, go ahead and coat the whole motherboard in a nice thermal insulator. of course, that’s only if you don’t want your system to live very long. there is current flowing through the system. current through resistance creates heat. heat reduces risistance. current increases. more heat. smoking silicon. it’s a positive feedback loop known as thermal runaway, and that’s why cooling is so damn important.
