A better idea might be to vent it into the cold air return if you have forced air heating/cooling. Otherwise the fellow who commented about the walls being relativly sealed is correct. This wouldn't do much but hurt the fan.

I'M PAYING TO ATTEND YOUR DAMN CLASS! I'm paying your salary to do as I please, so long as it does not disrupt your ability to teach and other students ability to learn.
Profs have this fancy notion that by somehow speaking the words from the books aloud in their voice it somehow makes the info "easier to understand" and "more important." Very few lectures have I attended in my college career that were anything more than regurgitated book quotes with a few stories and examples in between.
They were running a low power test yes, that required them to turn off many of the plants exteranious support devices yes.
What caused the reactor to blow up was a FUNDAMENTAL design flaw which allowed for pockets of gas to get trapped within the core when operating in low power mode.
What happend was that during the low power test a system failed and the "operators" turned the reactor back to near full power (to get the emergency backup systems online) without purging the gas pockets they had created.
Boom.
The accident was caused by design flaw, broken system, followed by human error. Reving #3 back up is like blowing on dice for luck.
I purchased a $199 25" TV for my fiance for christmas 2 years ago..2 months into the 90 day warrenty the unit failed to turn on anymore.
We took it to the proper repair shop and they fixed some "cracked traces" on the board.
Out of curiosity I asked how much it would have been to fix this problem out of warrenty..(just in case it happend again later) his response shocked me.. $180 bucks minimum.
I said thanks and that if I had any other problems I'd just be buying a new TV.
As a long time BB watcher I can only laugh when I read people saying they were bored after one episode. These must be the same people who have to download donkey pr0n because regular old sex just doesn't do it for them anymore.
BB was, for the average 9-5er, a chance to dream and scheme about building the ultimate fighting machine. Sure I didn't have the cash, time, or tools but those guys on TV did, and I love to watch mechinized destruction.
To all those who have said (in the same breath mind you) "I didn't watch the show...then later...it just never evolved..." Can you tell me how you can make such a judgment after not watching the show? Sure it evolved, in the first few seasons you had all kinds a wacky bots with different types of construction. Of course now people realize that there are really certain requirements to even enter the ring. Therefore a lot of the bots do infact look the same (the wedge bot being the most common it seems).
Now your going to tell me "oh see thats when it got boring cuz they are all the same" WRONG again. Now all the bots in competition have to look for new ways to destroy the undestroyable bot. The way I see it BB is just getting good. Designers have worked out the bugs and are producing more proactive bots.
While its nice to see everyones opinion on the matter, if you didn't watch the show don't bad mouth it. I used to think/. was a neat place where people of like minds could share information. Now I see its really just a place to bitch about anything you think is below you. If you can't equate hacking a linux kernel with turning wrenches on a titanium bot (for those of us non coders) then I don't think there is any hope for you to remove that melon sized brain box from your anus.
I guess now I'll just have to wait for the state fair to roll around next year, all the tech schools do their own competition every year.
For the record: Carmen Electra pissed the regular watchers off, we'd much rather have Bill Nigh(sp?) back. Most of the time she looks so bored to be there it hurts to watch her.
I think AMD is losing more points with the people in its marketing game. No one cares to know why AMD chips aren't listed by Mhz (yes we all know that doesn't matter but the marketing hype runs deep in those with the check books) they just know it doesn't say "faster than the other guy!"
Unfortunatly, one can make a pretty good argument (to someone without extensive CPU knowledge aka most corporate purchasers) for Intel based on clock and bus speed alone.
Cyrix lost the CPU game with its silly marketing schemes and Intel is handily playing AMD into the same corner.
At least we don't have to worry about poisioning/. Seeing as how this story is recycled!

You still need reliable power to run the lights, respirator, heart monitor...and what not. I don't see how it being run off sunlight changes the requirements of a standard OR.
I think its time Intel and AMD called a truce and begin developing somthing useful for consumers. Adding 100Mhz at a time and re-releasing doesn't help me at all. It costs too much for too litle gain.
Why don't Intel and AMD spend a little of their expensive man hours on developing a way around the hard drive bottle neck? I have this great IBM A20 laptop that hums along at 700Mhz but runs like a dog because the HDD transfers at 4bits a second.

Question: What is the difference between shallots and a normal onion? All the cooking shows seem to prefer them, yet I've heard Emeril say at least once that you can use a normal onion in thier place. Why do we have these things? I find them rather anoying since they are so small and expensive.
Is it ok to substitute or are there times when only a shallot will do?
Actually it really easy to stop. Disable autorun on the servers. Somthing most IT admins do anyway.

Quoted from the article:
"Science is self-correcting," Berkeley Lab Director Charles Shank said. "If you get the facts wrong, your experiment is not reproducible. In this case, not only did subsequent experiments fail to reproduce the data, but also a much more thorough analysis of the 1999 data failed to confirm the events. There are many lessons here, and the lab will extract all the value it can from this event.""

"AMD is a huge company. One, two, three, or even four flopped products are not going to phase AMD."
That all depends on how much they have invested in the Fab to make the PC chips. Droping the line doesn't pay off the loans. Enter Bankrupcy.
