The power supply company is named "EMACS" (yeah I know hehe).
They are dual 400 watt powersupplies, hot swap. They probably will only work in cases specially designed for dual power supplies, like the CalPC 16 or 32 bay case.
Probably not of much use to you at home, unless you have the money to spend.
Are you serious? Seems to me it would take much more effort to ignore the server specified mime type, and do your own guessing as to what type of file it is.
They went out of their way to avoid doing it the right way. I don't see how that could be considered ignorance or stupidity.
This is all just more of the same. I have come to expect it from MS.
My experience with this is that certain web hosting providers (ConcordEFS, today's ebiz) refuse to send correct content-type headers for flash animations, since it "works in IE"(tm).
IE will guess the content type, and ignore what the server says -- real web browsers listen to the server. So it makes admins lazy, makes MS's browser monopoly stronger, and makes other browsers look broken.
I just wish that the people who don't think MS is a monopoly, abusing their power, had to deal with these little monopolistic tactics every day. If they did, then MS would be no more.
We just set up an AthlonMP 1600+ server using the Tyan Tiger board, and I have to say, Intel is going to have some serious competition in the server market.
This thing is incredible. With our RAID streaming 30-40meg/sec writes, and 100-130meg/sec reads, the Athlons barely break a sweat, sitting at 2X25% utilization, in the same situation where Dual 933 coppermine Intel chips maxed out at 2X100%.
The main reason we hadn't gone with AMD sooner in a server is because of the lack of a 64bit PCI board that didn't require special power connectors.
The Tyan Tiger was a godsend. In all, it, two 1600+s, 1gig DDR ram and a dual 160 SCSI card cost about 25% less than the Supermicro P3TDE6, 1GB RAM, and two 933 coppermine PIIIs (on board dual SCSI).
The Tyan board does have less 64 bit PCI slots, and also doesn't support 64bit 66Mhz PCI, but we didn't have any cards that supported that either. It does have four 64bit slots, and that was enough for us.
One thing I don't understand about the Tyan is why they didn't just make all the slots 64bit PCI. It is fully forward and backward compatible.
As a former die-hard Intel guy, I have to say AMD is finally a contender in the server market.
Man, it's because the air is heated more than normal air by the greenhouse effect in the enclosure part on the bottom.

No offense Lewisham, you were just the last straw in a rant that's been building up for a while.
By that logic, why have any laws at all. Then nothing would be criminal behaviour, thus no crime.
By your logic, we should just attempt to prevent people from comitting the crime in the first place. Heck, lets just put everyone into big padded rooms, one person per room, and slide their food in through a slot each day. That will prevent all crime.
Don't try to modify the world to prevent crime. Modify the criminal to not want to commit it. The latter is much more effective. Just look at how well we have prevented illegal drug use!
I'd have to say that silhouette shooting and playing a video game are very different things.
I have shot police-style silhouette routienes before, and it is a little creepy the first time you pick up a gun and aim it at a human shaped target. But you are there, holding a few pounds of metal, feeling it fire, smelling the powder.
When you play a game on a video screen, you have maybe a 15 inch glowing window on a cartoonish world. You can't steal a car in real life by clicking a mouse. I argue that the desensitization is NOT there, because the physical and mental cues are vastly different.
For example, I've played my share of violent video games in the past, from killing stick figure shaped blobs on a c64, to wolfenstien, doom, and more modern violent games.
When FOX showed one of those "amazing videos" shows where they showed a video of a man being shot, it still really got to me. Of course, I didn't have to watch it.
There is still a big difference in my mind, and I think in most people's mind, between watching someone on a video game or action movie get shot, and watching real video of someone really getting killed, and between that and committing the acts themselves.
If you mean Carma 2 for PC, wasn't it incredibly buggy for you? I bought it for about $30 a few years ago and it was terrible. You had to hack your own cd to get it to work in most cdroms, with a copy-protection disable crack that was put out by the original authors.
The copy protection really screwed up that game, it should teach them a lesson for being idiots, and believing the marketing hype from safedisk.
Ah, You don't understand the physics of action movies. See rule #2.
1. Enemies always leave their weapons on fully automatic.
Even if they have a clear shot from higher ground with a total element of surprise, they will hold their weapon sideways and let loose 30 rounds on full auto. Of course they all miss.
2. Good guys can always run faster than explosions.
If there is an explosion of some sort, a good guy can always outrun it.
3. Endless magazines.
Good and bad guys all have infinite ammo. They are regularly seen taking 10-15 shots from a 6 shot revolver, and hundreds of shots out of a submachine gun before reloading.
4. Ledge hanging
At some point, the good guy will always hang off a ledge of some sort. He will of course never lose grip, even if two other people are hanging off of him. The exception to this rule is when the good guy loses grip, and falls into something that breaks the fall.
5. Bad guys aiming.
Bad guys are terrible shots. When they do actually hit a good guy, it is only in the shoulder. This shoulder wound does not impede the application of rule number 4, however.
6. Tactical mistakes
Bad guys attack one at a time, even if they have the option of ganging up on the good guy. This allows the good guy to use his martial arts training to take out each bad guy. The exception to this rule is when the good guy can use a bad guy's body as a weapon to take out other bad guys.
This barely scratches the surface, as there are rules that apply to car chases, saving the female, hostage situations, etc. Even in war movies that try to be true to life, most of the time these hollywood-isms creep in.
I'd have to say that Saving Private Ryan was the only one where they managed to avoid almost all of this nonsense.

Is this a serious question?
Just set up the ventilation system to suck warm air from the top of the server room, and pipe it to the colder rooms in the house.
For air return, install intakes near the bottom of some of the colder rooms.
It would cost like $50 at a home improvement store to get enough flexible ducting and registers.
Go to a surplus site like www.mpja.com and get some AC powered fans with a good CFM output.
Those are PCI64- 66Mhz slots. You can't put a normal 32bit PCI card in those. You can however put a 33Mhz 64bit PCI card into them.
In a PCI64 - 33Mhz slot, you can put pretty much anything in it, even a normal PCI32-33Mhz card. These are what the Tiger has

The bill of rights enumerates some of the main rights that are retained by the people.
It grants no rights to government. There is a reason for that. Think about it.
Yes, it is a double standard, but that is the way our founding fathers made it, because they knew it was necessary.
Thus allowing you more time to post and read on /. at work.
Hehe.
I had trouble getting lmsensors set up at all on a Tyan TigerMP. I gave up after a while, so it might be possible with some difficulty.
The finger test works for me. They get pretty warm, but with stock coolers and sufficient case air flow, they don't get too hot.

Man, I normally don't do this, but "you're" means "you are", your mean "you" in the possessive sense.
I guess you must be one of the people that will run an underground garage that will disable or bypass these systems, for the right price.
Never push for a law unless you think about the huge criminal market it might create.
The aussie government can do whatever they want now. They banned all guns, so now there is nothing to check their power.
