General Fan Performance Guide

Lars Olsen writes: "As a complementary article to his comprehensive General Heat Transfer Guide , Dave Smith has written another great article for Amdmb.com called General Fan Performance Guide. This is an indepth guide to the performance of the fans we have in our PC's. Here's a quote: 'The specific purpose of this guide is to take the science associated with fans and translate it into a meaningful document that will allow the reader to understand how fans work and how they apply to computers. It provides a brief summary of DC power and drives. It finishes with an introduction to the concepts of sound generation and measurement.'"

Re:I'm using Mozilla, and have a question:

[vsync64]

I just checked the HTML source, and it doesn't appear to be using tags. One thing I have noticed with Mozilla, though, is that if you are using tabbed browsing, any page with tags will cause the "Site Navigation Bar" to be displayed in that window. (And here's a bug... None of the buttons are even grayed out.)

Never mind... I just switched out of light mode, and Slashdot is indeed producing <link> tags. Which leads me to the question: Why does light mode leave out some genuinely useful stuff, like the aforementioned tags which could actually speed up browsing on slow links, and like being able to get the comment number right off a comment, without having to copy the "Reply To" link and hack it?

But that's still handy to know about Mozilla...

Not in light mode, it's not. Please reread my comment.
