Once the flow of air over a cooling fin is turbulent, moving the air faster causes the cooling rates to be worse, not better.
Look at the air intake of any sports car. It is very small. That is because it uses that small air intake and then widens the airflow (called a difuser) before the air engages any of the cooling elements for the engine. The designers of the car are slowing down the air speed in order to get better cooling rates.
Unfortunately, laptop makes don't always hire enough Mechanical Engineers to solve this problem, nor allow for the additional space within the machine necessary to get optimal cooling.
I have solar and an electric car. It is an amazing combination. A 10Kw grid-tie system is now about $3/watt installed, and that drops to $2/watt after a 30% tax credit. If most new houses built included a solar panel on the roof, I could see the US becoming energy independent in a decade.
I think you are suffering from myopia. Your 10Kw system may work at that rate in your home in Arizona. But in my Washington home, it's a useless vanity purchase that achieves nothing.
Also, putting such systems on your roof is not a permanent solution. Hail and other weather have proven that those systems require back up if they are to be livable.
I'm a staunch Republican. And I think we could agree that most of the people at CPAC are also staunch Republicans.
And it is overwhelmingly clear, per that video, that the vast majority of staunch Republicans were appalled and outraged over the comments of one ridiculous lunatic.
You don't think we should hold all Democrats to the views ridiculous lunatics within their ranks, do you?
Except West Virginia is NOT a Red State. Their Governor is a Democrat. As is their Leutenant Governor. And both US Senators. The late Robert Byrd (D) was their Senator for almost 50 years. Polemic hyper-partisan rants should still be based loosely on fact.
...probably the most unsexy story I've seen on Slashdot in ages. It's minimally controversial. And it leads to a minimum number of jokes and ridicule. I predict that the Limit, as time approaches infinity, of number of posts = 150.
People really get very preferrential about their mode of death. Robots seem to offend them more than the more civilized death of a soldier. Me? Hell, I'd prefer to die in the glory of combating a metal beast. That would be far more glorious than fighting a mere mortal.
In addition, this also allows code to be written that does something very similar, which doesn't actually infringe on an existing patent. Coming up with a new way of doing the same thing has always been protected by the patent system... until hidden mathematical formulas (code) began to be patented. In fact, mathematical formulas are the first kind of patent that doesn't require disclosure of how it actually works.
Let's take this case. Someone who believes that this product was harmful, may not be interested in whether it was safer in extreme industrial use to accept the risks in favor of avoiding the risks of a fire, in consideration of the safety of those working in an area. Industry also has means to mitigate risks that academia is often not aware of. Accepting the scientific ivory tower opinion, while not listening to the thought process of industry, is acceptable for professors and scientists. It's not acceptable for administrative government positions.
I don't think this is such a big issue. If someone who is a judge has publicly espoused opinions on a case by case level regarding the Constitutionality, they are likely going to be viewed as biased. The reason for this is very important: we want to be assured of government officials not coming into a job with bias. We want to them to decide ON the job, on a case by case basis while acting in the official capacity of the position, with the ALL the facts that someone in THAT position is privy to. If they come into a situation already espousing that they've decided the truth, it can come into a situation with a decision of what needs to happen, when they haven't considered the facts in each case.
The fastest way to look overly-sensitive and closed minded is to blame the press. It's just about the worst PR move you can make.
What they should have done is issue a press release that they were working closely with the reporter to find out what anomolies may have occured so they can improve the design if needed. They are in serious need of a new PR firm.
Being able to make all decisions regarding what you do with items you have purchased (barring those that infinge on the life, liberty or pursuit of happiness of others) is absolutely critical to the American concept of freedom. Maybe not the Russian concept of freedom. But it is absolutely engrained in the expectations of freedom in the United States.
Ok, so you're intolerant. Fine. If you were more at peace with your own beliefs and convictions you'd be willing to let others believe or not believe as they see fit for themselves. It's called "live and let live". And it's a great way to win friends and influence people. (Good book by the way.)
You made an assumption that I believed something. You were wrong. And while being wrong you flippantly hurled insults at me and ran straight for your ridicule bag. Own up to it.
If you're not interested in who I am, what I believe and whether or not I'm same..I'm ok with that. But do you really think it's right to go around flippantly telling slashdot that I'm crazy for what I believe then?
Try to not just shoot back some response. Seriously consider the question.

Bad? Part of the UEFI barrier for other OS's has just been Open Sourced.
And there was much rejoicing.
Dual boot into it. Problem solved. Everyone loves Chrome. And it's like a rock.
Broad controversial claims ... popcorn munching time.

He's not whoring himself any less than a reality-tv "star". Isn't this pretty much the same sort of agreement you make to be in areality tv show?
I'm argentine, and I care about the Doctor. a HUGE % of argentines f****ing hate the falkinas islands... but love lots of their art.
Don't hate them because their beautiful.
Is this supposed to revitalize my interest in Yahoo stock? The kid wrote a news app. Not a social media platform.

It's a headline with a question. So the answer is no.

Damn. Just used up my mod points. +1 Insightful to you sir.

Until we get up and do something about it to change the system.
I don't think LOTR fans understand non-fans in the slightest degree...
Encrypt it yourself...? 50 gig free is pretty damn good. Right?
