Cost-Effective Server Room Air Conditioning?
at0mic26 writes "I am currently tasked with finding a cost effective solution to our 30+ degree Celsius server room. The only air conditioning currently provided is a single duct pipe from one of two air conditioner units. I was thinking of stealing air from the second air conditioning unit with some sheet metal work, but it likely will not be sufficient — and would not have tolerance for both AC units being offline for any amount of time. An ideal supplemental portable AC unit is what I am after, however I'm finding it cost prohibitive, with $600+ humidity controlled AC unit, plus 20 amp socket requirement, plus contract work to make a hole in the wall for outside drainage so that the unit does not flood the place. What sort of successful cheaper air conditioning solutions have you come up with?"
Holy crap! I live across the street from there! Behind (what used to be) Gators. Small world :D
Why is it a bad word choice? I think asked would be a bad choice, as I assume in his employer/employee relationship there was no asking taking place. "Tasked" is in my dictionary, and I don't see any reason to exclude it from the English language.

fuckin A! i live a few blocks from that place! what are the chances of someone mentioning it here. (Or maybe it's more famous/significant than I thought.) Oh shit - i see snakeyes also lives here. wow, didn't know so many people from bedford read this blog. (hey, snakeyes - sup!)
But languages evolve, else we wouldn't have half of the words we use now anyway. New words can be added to modern vocabulary. We don't speak Latin.
