How to Cool Your PC with Dry Ice

Seems the owner of the whiteboxlinux.net and whiteboxlinux.com domains has decided to offer them on ebay as a peace offering between wbel and himself.
This is really great news so lets hope someone with WBEL enthusiasm steps up to build a respectable community site.
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you cat fanatics? I've been sitting here on my sofa in front of a cat (a sealpoint siamese) for about 20 minutes now while attempting to get it's attention away from a bug on the floor. 20 minutes. At home, with my labrador cross, which by all standards should be a lot dumber than this cat, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this attention seeking attempt, my children's attention is also held by the cat. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even trying to get the remote from my partner fails.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while dealing with other cats, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a cat that fetches as much as it's canine counterpart, despite the cat's faster ambulatory system. My terrier with one ingrown toenail runs consistently faster than this siamese at times, as the cat is often completely asleep. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the cat is a superior animal.
Cat addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a cat over other faster, cheaper, more affectionate animals.
Only 5 acceptable comments up and I already can't access the site? Does that set a record?
yes; but anybody spending this much time to comment on articles at slashdot really needs to get out more.
no wait. maybe the author does not post useless posts and instead writes this stuff up.
We sell windmills to offset COx. Windmills are cool. So run your PCs on renewable energy.
Nobody has a monopoly on wind (except maybe your municipality and zoning authorities) so it's even more like open source (or free, if you prefer piracy).
