Zalman Showcase Massive P4 Heatsink

Kez writes "I couldn't express the size of this heatsink in the space provided for the subject of this post. It's the size of a small country and when the fan is running, turbulence from it means a no-fly zone needs to enforced above it. At Hexus.net we've got a picture of this behemoth."

    This heatsink technology could help Beijing to accelerate the development of computer technology for its military machine. We should subject this technology to tight export controls.

    I know you're a troll, but the following from your linked site made me laugh out loud:
    PHR Report shows Chinese authorities routinely use torture as a means of political repression, punishment and intimidation in Tibet.

    Emmm, have you been living under a rock for the past three years? We do that as well!! As for developing military tech, name a US innovation that wasn't related to warfare...you're using one RIGHT NOW!

    The US hasn't been using torture as a means of political repression, punishment and intimidation in Tibet for 3 years.

    Nah, not Tibet. Just Iraq, Cuba, Afganistan and the UK to name a few. In many of those countries, you have a foreign military overthrowing an existing government for strategic gain and profit. Hmm. Basically, an American bitching about Tibet is the pot calling the kettle black.

    It would seem that the US has a different view of what torture is to the rest of the planet. Provided you don't draw blood (physical torture), anything goes, including religious torture (forced nakedness for Arabs), sexual torture (being forced to jerk off other men), psychological torture (sleep derpivation and intimidation) and loud rock music played 24/7 in cargo containers in desert heat.

    Oh, how much fun it must be to have been in the wrong place at the wrong time when the yanks come looking for the coloured people again. No trial, no lawyers, no representation, no Geneva convention. When are you going to wake up to the fact that you aren't the good guys anymore; that stopped when you allowed big business to control the entire electoral and political spectrum.

    And if you didn't think it was going on beforehand then you sir are blinded by your own hatred. The fact of the matter is that in war bad things happen. In peacetime bad things happen. This is not new or unique to the US.. The real issue here is that our unique stance on freedom of press does not allow the government to sanitize the media as it does in other countries. I in turn say that there is much more blood on the hands of those who did nothing while watching Saddam gassing his own people, and at the same time being paid large sums of money via the "Oil for food" farce. I'm not saying the US is without fault. We aren't perfect, but then no country will ever be.

    Search on Google News for "sudan" and please shut the fuck up. These "evil" things are HAPPENING RIGHT NOW elsewhere. Saddam did them decades ago, with your support I might add.

    There's no profit to be had in Sudan though.
