Raised Flooring Obsolete or Not?

mstansberry writes "In part three of a series on the price of power in the data center, experts debate the merits of raised flooring. It's been around for years, but the original raised floors weren't designed to handle the air flow people are trying to get out them today. Some say it isn't practical to expect air to make several ninety-degree turns and actually get to where it's supposed to go. Is cooling with raised floors the most efficient option?"

    Is this Slashdot or Martha Stewart's website? I mean, is this the most moronic topic. Is Slashdot really stretching this far for something to say? Why not a topic "Do neutral colors in your cubicle help you take the shit that your know-nothing, MBA packing asshole boss shoves at you all the time?"

    Wow! A manufactured commission study of your needs showed that nothing other then the bleeding edge thing they just spent money on producing could possibly work!?!? Unheard of!

    If the Extreme Density System was not available, the project would have been scrapped and millions of dollars lost. It's not like we were coersed to buy the system, there was no other option for the project's success, none, zip, zero, nada.

    Because it's simply not possible to invent a local cooling system? Seems kinda stupid to me. If that many millions of dollars were riding on it, someone would have realized that refridgeration isn't rocket science, and hired someone to build a system.
