http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/08/2354216
[0]big writes "NEC has developed the world's first [1]slim sized
water-cooling module for notebooks. It uses a piezoelectric pump
driving method. This water cooling-module enables a highly advanced,
slim sized, notebook PC with minimal operating noise." Toshiba has been
working on [2]water cooling in laptops at least as far back as the year
2000.

http://www.arstechnica.com/archive/2000/0400-2.htmlWarriors Of Freedom Prompted Rampage Attempt? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/09/0132204
Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a Philadelphia Inquirer
article [0]linking videogames to an alleged spree killing attempt.
According to the article, "Investigators suspect the three teens
arrested.. as they allegedly were about to launch a killing rampage in
the small town, found inspiration in violent computer games.. [police]
learned that the name the three reportedly had given themselves -
Warriors of Freedom - is also an Internet-based combat game." But only
a few media reports mention that the violent game connection was made
by Jack Thompson, a Miami lawyer and [1]outspoken critic of [2]violent
video and [3]computer games - is this a case of [4]shameless Googling
to find [5]any obscure game with a similar name and make a connection,
or is there genuine evidence here?

Armadillo Aero One Step Closer To Space

another step toward the X-Prize, dropping their re-entry vehicle from
2000 feet with no major problems noted. As usual, the Armadillo crew
[2]documented the event with text, pictures and video, and the story is
also [3]covered by Space.com (though without as many cool technical
details). It's a bumpy ride, though -- instruments recorded some 10 G's

Wi-Fi, Linux, And VoIP In Canada

WEFUNK writes "Canadian Business magazine has a [0]cover story
promoting Wi-Fi, VoIP, and Linux as 'Stuff that Works: 3 hot
technologies that live up to their hype.' The article goes on to
describe a number of Canadian success stories, ranging from [1]Spotnik
Mobile's growing network of Wi-Fi hotspots to the [2]Canadian National
Railway's use of Linux since 1993, and quantifies the benefits of VoIP
to a Canadian [3]insurance company's call centre. The article also
includes some shipment numbers for Linux servers in Canada, mentions
the growing number of Linux apps, and nicely downplays the SCO
debacle."

[0]This story, in [1]Government Executive magazine, outlines the range of programming glitches in what is a relatively simple database.

Officially, the theme of [0]this year's Open Source Software Convention
(OSCON) 2003 is "Embracing and Extending Proprietary Software," and to
that end approximately 1,500 attendees (and companies including Apple,
Active State, online book-seller Powells.com and MySQL) are sharing
space in three floors of Portland's downtown Marriott, and will until
the conference's close on Friday. ([1]Representatives from Microsoft
are along for the ride, too. Lunch on Wednesday is Microsoft's treat.)
An unoffical theme of ubiquitious connectivity and creative
collaborative in much in evidence as well: besides the
conference-furnished wireless access points throughout the classroom
area, numerous other base stations (like the one I'm connected to right
now) have popped up. What do you expect with more than a thousand
laptop-toting programmers in one hotel? There's also a
[2]"semi-unofficial" wiki ([3]applauded by Tim O'Reilly), an [4]ongoing
web log of the conference, and an irc channel filled with conference
attendees. Read on for more.
