Slashdot Mirror
Swaying CPU Fans
Vindi submitted a New Scientist story about a CPU fan that flaps in the breeze. 2cm metal or polyester
fan blades, and use less power then a traditional rotary fan. They move less
air then the traditional fan, but for laptops, using 99% less power
can't hurt. Update Hey its a duplicate from saturday! Guess I shouldn't
post while planning my trek to see LotR tomorrow. Go ahead, flame on.

The worst terrorist attacks, blah blah blah and you people have the gall TO RUN DUPLICATE STORIES?? My *god* people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!
You people disgust me!
Using 99% less power can hurt if it doesn't cool enough and catches the darn thing on fire.
As x approaches total apathy I couldn't care less.
Look for the most insightful posts from the original article and whore all you want:

Taco must not of had his COFFEE YET
I wonder if the amount of power conserved on the laptop would allow me to post the same story twice on slashdot on the same charge that previously I was only able to post the story once?
fifth post.
fucking poseurs
This previous story from a couple of days ago on...
Slashdot...?
Oh well. :-\
These sigs are more interesting tha
...A Beowulf cluster of Arab-killing CPU fans?
taco, pay attention next time.
and this is not the same as this how?
Do they have a taste for filthy camel-fucking towelheads too?
If so, count me in!
I thought this story was going to be about a bunch of Intel and AMD nuts getting together and drinking. Oh well.
well, as I mention the previous article I'm sure many others are rushing to do the same. I make a wager regarding the number of "Pay atttention Taco" duplicate posts I'll se as I return to the comments.
Damn, phone call... the number goes up.
In my best keanu-talk "Woah, Deja Vu".

This Post has been brought to you by the letter "E".
Seriously, this should be rated Insightful and Interesting.
You could've hired me.
they reject peoples stories, and then repost the same crap from a few days ago... maybe Slashdot needs to look at the submissions a bit more closly...
Than, THAN, THAN, T-H-A-N!!!!!
Learn it, use it.
less power THAN
less air THAN
This is only the millionth time you've made that mistake. Very slow learner.
It's English, your native language, using it correctly is better THAN looking like an idiot. And fire your copy editor, he or she is totally unqualified.
Light cup, beer drink, thin so chain, neck turtle fat, man I won't say it again
I need a PC that screams like my girlfriend when I'm shoving my tree trunk-sized cock up her ass.
Can you hook me up?
I think this has already been posted but, anyway, immagine a Beowulf Cluster of these?
I submitted this story 3 times and it was rejected all 3 times. I demand this story be reposted 3 more times giving me credit!
We still luv ya... :)
I do have a question. Why not just remove the article after you find out that it's a duplicate? Judging by the... er... quality of comments, is it really worth it to keep the article up?

Why isn't there a moderation system set up for the stories that are posted? What I mean is the stories themselves should be modded just like the comments. I think that would make the most open system possible. Also, the editors would have an additional measure to the types of stories that people respond to. That way things like this would be modded down as a repeat and ignored much easier.
This is not meant as a Troll, just constructive criticism.

Cmdr Taco is to see LOTR tomorow.
Which means he wasn't involved in the pirated copies seen in GB on VCD and tapes...
This post is a repeat of one from the LAST time this story was posted...
lets see three or less characters, or three or less days ago.
must be a bug in the SlashDot AI they are trying to develop in secret. Something OSDN is developing to see if they can dispense with human story selection, moderation, etc.
think about it. Can YOU tell the differance?

i dunno, go partying all night for 3 nights in a row, spend days cooped up with your girlfriend fucking her for hours...oh wait this is taco we're talking about, none of that has a chance of happening.
Taco gave us permission to flame! Lets go!
:-P
Flame #1: Why is Overrated/Underrated not M2'd? The conspiracy theory here is that since editors moderated with unlimited points, its a way for editors to moderate things they don't like (censorware, anything said badly about them) down without feeling the wrath of M2!
Flame #2: Is the AC privacy on slashdot really safe after upgrading to Slash2.2??
Flame #3: Do you really think that people with a lot of comments need to get out more even though they are indirectly lining your wallet?
Let the flame war begin!
And remember moderators, this is on topic, cause Taco said to "Flame On!" (at least gimmie a point for attempt at humor)
Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
Peizo fans are at least 15 years old
When I first read this , I thought you were defending some stupid anime show, by saying that the fans of the show were at least 15. TEE HEE.
Exactly! Wouldn't this be akin to putting a giant fan on a sailboat to blow into the sail? I mean, seriously people, think, Preview, THEN Submit your replies to stories!
Most CPU fans that I know are dedicated to their favorite CPU and it is very difficult to sway their opinion
They move less air then the traditional fan,
Here are some examples to help clarify the correct usage of Then and Than: 1. If you're ugly, then you're not pretty. 2. My dog is nicer than yours. 3. Back then, we had to eat bugs to survive. 4. More often than not, Sally would skip breakfast. Thanks.

Wouldn't it be a shame if Taco and his buddies had to get a real job instead of sitting on their taco butts thinking of better ways to bitchslap.
They only put up a handful of articles every day, yet it's too much trouble to check back even a couple of days for duplicates. And it's not like this only happend once or twice. This shit turns up at least weekly.
Taco, what are you and your kiddies going to do when VA goes tits-up and you have to actuall work for a living?
just like this story....

Damn right - we'll get those bastards.
Does it occur to anyone (besides the trolls) that slashdot is seriously broken. The answer is not to make it more complicated by adding more and more crappy perl code. I predict that slashdot will colapse when the killfile is implemented.
"What killfile?" you ask. What do you think that friend/foe shit is? They're getting ready to implement a killfile system. Do you think that will help?
is the answer to that question.

Then/than; what's the difference?
They use less power THAN etc. etc.
You can tell a lot about a journalist by their ability to spell (or not). I'd rather get my news from a source that can spell rather THAN one that can't.
English, the lost language.
I am a troll.
They move less air then the traditional fan
Point-o-grammar: When you compare something, use "than" rather than "then".
Thank you.
