Student In Holland Finds Original Einstein Manuscript
A Dutch student has found an important original manuscript from
Albert Einstein in the Lorentz Institute for Theoretical Physics
of the University of Leiden. A spokesperson of the University
has acknowledged the rare find. According to specialists it is
an important article from 1924 where Einstein writes about his
latest discovery.
He describes what in the meantime has been named the so-called
Bose-Einstein condensation. It is the phenomenon where the atoms
of a gas experience a phase transition at extreme low temperatures.
The confirmation of this theory by a physics experiment was only
actually recently confirmed (1995), 40 years after Einstein's
death.
The student was doing research for an essay in the home archive
of Mr. P.Ehrenfest, who was a Professor of Theoretical Physics
at the Leiden University from 1912 to 1933. He was a good friend
of Einstein. The article has 16 pages, and Einstein was a guest
professor in at the Leiden University. The find is being called
fantastic, it is clearly recognizable as Einstein's copper script
handwriting. Here it is!

NEC PC With Water-cooling
A lot of hobbyists have created water-cooled PC's but not many
of the large hardware vendors have gone there. Up to now. NEC's
Valuestar G Type C is one. According to NEX you can keep a machine
with an Intel Celeron at a max of 30 decibel and that is truly
extremely quiet. It's NEC's first consumer water-cooled PC. You can
only order it online for the moment. THAT is going to cause a few
problems I'm afraid. Look for yourself:

Troubleshoot Disk Quotas In Windows 2003
Disk quotas are one of the most useful storage management features
that W2K3 offers. The quotas let administrators control the growth
of storage requirements and encourage users to employ storage
resources efficiently. However, because they directly affect users,
storage quotas can produce a lot of interaction -- and friction --
with users. For that reason, it is important that you diagnose and
fix problems or unusual conditions that arise with disk quotas --
quickly. Good article on the SearchWinSystems site:
