Modding fanless computers

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

We have already made three modding computers without any coolers!

The growth of computers’ productivity is always held with the increasing of coolers power. Some don’t like noise from coolers in modern computers. We practically solved this problem. In our computers there are no coolers even hard disk drives are in special silent pc box with cooling. The device reliability is much higher then usual computers, now it’s not afraid of dust and the work of an expensive processor doesn’t depend from a cheap cooler. We don’t use water for cooling process, such systems are less reliable. We use only heat pipes and passive cooling. The results we achieved exceeded expectations, the device has been working for half a year and it worked during the summer time. (more…)

The Terminal (2004)

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

* Inspired by the story of Merhan Nasseri, an Iranian refugee. In 1988, he landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport near Paris after being denied entry into England because his passport and United Nations refugee certificate had been stolen. French authorities would not let him leave the airport. He remained in Terminal One, a stateless person with nowhere else to go. He has since been granted permission to either enter France or return to his own country. He instead chooses to continue to live in the terminal and tell his story to those who will listen. Reportedly, his mental health has deteriorated over the years. When given the opportunity to live in France, he refused because the documents did not name him as “Sir, Alfred”, and he claims to have forgotten his native Persian language. Reportedly, he left the terminal in August 2006 to be hospitalized for an unspecified illness.

* Bernie Mac was considered for a role, but had to pull out due to a scheduling conflict.

* While this is not technically a remake, the film Tombés du ciel (1993) is based on the same true story.

* Steven Spielberg cut a line from the film where Hanks’s character is getting help using an international calling card and says, “Home phone, home phone!”. Spielberg cut this because he didn’t want comparisons to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and the famous lines “Phone home.”

* A majority (if not all) of the flights on the departure board were flights operated by members of the Star Alliance. United Airlines is a founding partner of the Star Alliance.
