Cancelling Out CPU Fan Noise
Percy_Blakeney writes "After realizing how noisy his computer was, a professor at BYU has created a new CPU fan that uses small microphones and speakers to cancel out its own noise. It isn't perfected yet -- it only nixes the whine, not the whoosh -- but it looks like it could be promising, especially given the professor's background: making jet engines quieter."

The sound your hearing is the mouse click of the moderator clicking the -1, troll button for this pust!
Of course! who wants to pay $2.00 for a fan, when you can pay $50.00 and get the noise canceling abilities! Nevermind that you could have built the thing using one of those zhalman copper flower heatsinks and not used a fan at all.

Does this method really work?
:)
In real life, if your other half is yelling at you, you then yell back equally loudly, does it cancel the yelling altogether?
Having said that, this cancelling method is quite widely used in ancient China (not sure about the modern one). For instance, if you are bitten by a scorpion, just find something equally poisonous, or more, to bite at the same spot, and voila!

In Soviet Russia, the computer silences you!
Are you jealous? Surely not. So then you must be just trying to make yourself feel better by putting other people down? That's kind of sad isn't it? Why do you do that?
