Microsoft, Google Battle Over Energy Efficiency
1sockchuck writes "Microsoft and Google have opened a new front in their battle for global domination: data center energy efficiency. Just weeks after Google published data on the extreme efficiency of its previously secret data centers, Microsoft says it has achieved similar results with shipping containers (despite Google's patent) packed with up to 2,500 servers. The geeky benchmark for the battle is Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), a green data-center metric advanced by The Green Grid. Microsoft says its containers tested at a PUE of 1.22, while Google reported an average PUE of 1.21 for its data centers, which apparently are also now using containers."
Bored of Slashdot trolls telling you to vote Obama or McCain? Let's vote Kodos, for real hope and change! Lot's of people say, "Don't blame me. I voted for Kodos!" well this time, let's elect him and find out what he's made of.
Only Kodos has a solution to Iraq: all humans will be forced into slavery to build giant ray gun, no time for in-fighting.
Only Kodos has a plan to reduce unemployment to zero: all humans will be forced into slavery to build giant ray gun.
Only Kodos will deal with the world's over-population problems: all humans will be forced into slavery to build giant ray gun, so will have no time for breeding.
Only Kodos has a viable plan for the economy: economy will be shut down as all humans will be forced into slavery to build giant ray gun.
Only Kodos can do that Bob Dole impression everybody loves. We've seen the sort of mess Kang can create in this country, let's vote: Kodos for Change!
Using an and would mean that it would be more likely run over the end of my rss feed display, which would be annoying, therefore I am all for the lack of ands.
adding the word 'and' completely removes the dramatic pause needed... because it's a BATTLE.
"Action without philosophy is a lethal weapon; philosophy without action is worthless."
I think I just threw up a little.

Now it's even shorter!
The headline was set up to include Yahoo! but it was omitted you insensitive clod!
It's because they have a hormonal imbalance, genetic predisposition, and big bones. How they eat has nothing to do with how fat they are. If eating a super sized meal made people fat, then everyone who regularly eats at fast food places would be fat.
Well, if it is a written rule it is either not in the British Book of Journalistic Style, or UK newspapers just ignore the rule (maybe they're not into the whole brevity thing!).
I certainly used to find it odd when reading US news sources (by which I just mean the Onion, all other news outlets have too much bias - and I mean ALL, not just the US ones).
