  1. Re:Currently? on Ask Slashdot: What Video Games Keep You From Using Linux? · · Score: 0

    I'd agree with that list , especially BF3. also, don't a lot of games have driver specific patch add-ons? my nvidia drivers just updated a few days ago, and I check the release notes: many different games listed, tweaks here, bug fixes there. are the steam/valve folks going to be able to have the same level of Nvidia/AMD video card drivers for Xorg?

    right now i'm dual booting a Macbook pro 15" just so i can run BF3, and World of Warcraft. plus some older flight sims.

  2. You can use Air to cool 35KW why bother with oil? on Intel Embraces Oil Immersion Cooling For Servers · · Score: 0

    Oil immersion works, but why bother?
    99.99% of datacenters still rely on moving cool air through hot servers to cool them. in some instances you could make a case for mineral oil bath cooling. if you want to push the envelope of server cooling, try using our Vertically cooled servers. www.cirrascale.com. we believe that hot air naturally wants to rise.
    we pack 72 18"tall 1U wide servers in one rack, or 96 13" tall servers. 10's of thousands deployed
    we've been able to cool over 30KW of load in one rack with Air on a non raised floor datacenter. We've been doing it for years, and we don't void warranties to do it.
    "excuse me, Mr. Dell/HP/IBM service center person... this server isn't working.. can you take a look at it please"
    "Be happy to... Um uh, why is it in a plastic ziplock bag?"
    "oh that's to keep the mineral oil from dripping on your service lab floor"
        RMA declined!, Warranty Null & Void!

  3. I just left a message for the CEO of Linksys on Is Linksys Violating The GPL? · · Score: 1

    My dad once told me, "Always go to the top to get a problem solved, while that CEO/COO may not fix the problem directly, he/she will at least be annoyed with an underling that allowed the problem to rise enought to bother the CEO/COO." or words to that effect.

    Nothing nasty was said, just my name, phone number, that I used their products, and that there are online discussions on weither or not there is undocumented GPL code on their equipment. I also asked him to have his legal department check out if they had recieved notice from Busybox software maintaner regarding Linksys' use of Busybox in Linksys products.

    If he doesn't review his v-mail directly, then at least the polite informative tone of the message will prod the listener to forward the message accordingly.

  4. RackSAVER, not RackSPACE on Pixar Eclipses Sun with Linux/Intel · · Score: 1

    one is a High Density Clustering Solutions Company,
    one is a Webhosting Company.

    News.com got it wrong earlier tonight, but they have fixed the link.

    Http://www.racksaver.com/

    fyi Most of the best movies rendering CGI are RackSaver Cluster customers.

    check them out amazing GFLOPS per $.
