  1. Re:how is silent cooling on Computer Room Hot? · · Score: 2
    And how is sending the heat from your computer into the wall going to do that?

    Where will the heat go? The article says "into the empty space in the wall" but that's only about 16" X 3 1/2" by about 6' (some construction techniques differ). Not a whole lot of space, and it'll pressurize fast, making the fan useless.

    Pretty much a lame article, if not a troll.

  3. Re:tech unions? on AFL-CIO Proposed Reforms for the H1B Program · · Score: 2
    It's been my experience in other jobs I had leading up to my being in I.T.; that Unions are not good for workers, they are only good for Unions.

    Unions only care about their next contract negotiation, so they can charge their members fees that the company takes directly off your cheque. So long as they are collecting that fee from the membership, they couldn't give a rats anus about you, Joe Individual, or your problems with the company.

    RH 7.3 had a nice disk in the retail version. It was one of those business card type discs labelled "System Administrator Survival Disk". Bootable RH 7.3, 2.4 kernel, and enough tools to get most jobs done.

    It's been a real timesaver too. Anything it doesn't have that I needed, I just threw on to a 3 1/2" CDR.

    What's a "feral young child"

    A young child that has consumed too many chocolate frosted sugar bombs and has escaped through a window, or by vibrating it's molecules between the molecules of the wall.

    Don't laugh. I've seen it happen. Tragic.

    A sense of humour for my caffinated friend here.

    Possibility 2: It is a hoax, and it may be funny to some people (I peed my knickers) hence the "Laugh it's funny" icon.

    Agreed, it's not FP material, but none of the sections really are appropriate. And it's a slow day...

    I'd love for some news wire to pick this up and pass it off as legit. Not only would gamers be branded as violent, but they'd be branded as having a sick sense of ha-ha.

    Buddy, Desu Ex ROCKS!

    I'm replaying the GOTY Edition for the umpteenth time. Each time has been a new experience. Should I play stealthily? Should I go full out fragfest? Will I sell out to the dark side? Will I try to get zero kills, or just pop 'em from afar?

    I haven't tried the Thief series, but I have to say that Deus Ex was the biggest diversionary FPS (if you can call it that) since Duke Nukem 3D and Nocturne.

    Everything else just seems to be shiny replacements for Wolfenstein.

    Not just for CD's. The legislation applies to all recordable digital media. DVD+RW's, Hard discs, magnetic tape etc. That's why iPod's will cost more.

    So we get to pay the CPCC/RIAA just to be able to boot an O/S or back it up. Aren't we lucky!?!
