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?"

    How long until the beleaguered French government notifies the invading Muslim punks rioting in cities throughout France that they officially surrender? Smart money is betting on less than two weeks, 'cause that's how long they lasted against the invading Germans in 1940.

    Apparently peta runs some animal shelters in which they follow the same guidelines on euthanasia for unadopted pets as most animal shelters, even though nokill shelters exist and are possible. Yes its a pointless website on a simple subject, interesting never the less.

    They lasted a full six weeks against the Germans. Expect France to adopt Sharia in 5 weeks.

    Gotta love the hipocracy, eh? PETA protests other animal shelters that euthanize animals while running some that does the exact same. There was a very nice P&T Bullshit! episode on these morons. Quite enlightening.

    No, that's not the bad thing.

    The bad thing is that PETA takes animals from no-kill animal shelters and kills them. Animals that were perfectly safe, and usually fairly happy, or as happy as they can be in an animal shelter.

    PETA kills 85% of all animals it takes in. This is a horrible track record compared to almost any other shelter in existance. Even the most uncaring city pound manages to get rid of more than 15% of their animals before having to kill them. PETA kills animals in vans as they drive away from picking them up, without making the slightest effort to give them good homes.

    2 PETA employees were arrested on 62 counts of felon animal cruelty in June, for killing animals without a permit and dumping their bodies in a dumpster. The unusual thing here is not the killing, it's the dumping in the dumpster, which admittedly is not normal PETA practice.

    This killing is because PETA lives in a universe where all animals should be free, and animals that can't be free, like cows, and animals that don't want to be free, like dogs, should die or be killed instead of being 'slaves'. The killing of temporarily unwanted pets is just taking this philosophy to the logical place.

    PETA is scum. Don't have anything to do with them.

    And, yes, this is completely offtopic. Bite me.
