A parallel tubing configuration will always be superior to a series configuration (unless you are using a positive displacement pump for some reason). IF you have a method to balance the flow correctly to each component (such as throttle valves). The reduced flow resistance will allow the pump to operate at a higher flowrate and will make heat transfer in the radiator more efficient. This will reduce the outlet temperature of the radiator, supplying cooler water to each component. This makes all your components run cooler and also reduces the power usage of the pump.
If you don't have a method to correctly balance the flow then your best bet is a hybrid series-parallel configuration. The best solution will depend on the heat load of every component you want to cool and the physical characteristics of the pump and radiator.
f you have 2 equal radiators, it is better to attach them parallel so water goes slower and gives up more of its heat
I agree that the radiators in parallel is better for heat transfer, but your explaination is nonsense. Heat transfer improves with the flow rate of the system. Slower moving fluid transfers heat less efficiently than fast moving fluid. Attatching the radiators in parallel reduces the total flow resistance in the system and increases flow through each radiator.
Your post is nothing but bullshit you read on some web site and are now parroting to Slashdot.
Fuck you and your progeny, retard.
Assuming your first statement is true, and given what we know about evolution, isn't it better for everyone if no one ever carries out your second statement?
If you shape the magnets correctly and use AC to power them, then a magnetic field can (in theory) move any material that conducts electricity. Because a moving magnetic field will generate an electric field in the conductor, with will create a magnetic field that interacts with the original field. It may not be practical with all materials, but it is possible.
Wine should work if you enable 32 bit support in your kernel and have the correct 32 bit libraries installed. i know that portage takes care of all the userspace stuff for you.
Google Earth is working perfectly on my machine (amd64). I'm assuming the binary is 32bit since there is only one. Any chance of a native 64 bit binary in the future?
Try planning a road trip with (printable) driving direction (round trip). Sure Mapquest or Yahoo maps can do this too, but with them you can't double click on each waypoint and "fly" there. Depending on where you are traveling the photos are so detailed you can see what lane you need to be in to make your exit.
Maybe my choice of words was wrong. The GPG process can keep its memory from being swapped, but if you actually do anything with the encrypted data (view a document in your favorite text editor for example) then that process may be swapped at some point.
I use casual encryption for sensitive data. J. Random Thief isn't going to any more than look, find nothing and give up. Encrypted swap is overkill.
if you don't encrypt your swap, then you will leak cleartext onto your hard drive. How big of a problem this is depends on how determined the attacker is. I think that since it is at least as easy if not easier than other forms of encryption, encypted swap is not overkill at all.
Mainly because it is so easy to set up. I haven't set up any other type of encryption because it isn't as easy, but if I ever decide to in the future, I already have part of the work done. Also setup m/tmp directory as a tmpfs filesystem. Now stuff written there really is temporary.
All I care about is stopping casual snooping, or government/police trawling through data on fishing trips. I only want to force them to jump through hoops to guard my basic privacy. There's just nothing on my machine that could justify that level of paranoia.
Forget the NSA, what about Joe Random Thief? Are you sure you don't have any personal or financial information that could be used for identity theft?
The most reasonable threat that disk encryption can protect against is computer and/or hard drive theft. Big government has too many resources to use against you if they really want your data.
All my machines now use encrypted swap files. If you use Gentoo, it's as easy as "emerge cryptsetup" and un-commenting two lines in a configuration file.
Isn't the lesson of Google the fact that advertising doesn't have to be annoying if it is relevant? If this is topic that most of the readers are interested in, then is there reason not to post the "story", other than the fact that it is an advertisement?
No. I said that you could double the force by doing twice as much work. I should have been more clear that you could not use this for every muscle movement, actually only about half of them.
It is possible that you could make something useful along this line of thinking. Pretty much all the muscles in your body come in pairs. If there was some way that you can use one set to add energy to some kind of spring/elastic material so that the next motion the stored energe will add force from the spring to your (other set of) muscles, then somehow you might make a suit that doubled the force of each motion you make. Of course, you end up doing at least twice as much work... so maybe in some situations the tradeoff might be worth it.

Using your method, where is they key stored?
well, that and /etc/fstab and overwriting the original partion with random bits to destroy the old data... but it's still easy
All my machines now use encrypted swap files. If you use Gentoo, it's as easy as "emerge cryptsetup" and un-commenting two lines in a configuration file.
What happens if hundreds or thousands of years down the line, the volcano becomes active again and spews radioactive material into the atmosphere?
Every time a volcano erupts it releases radioactive material into the air. What do you think keeps all that magma hot?
Also don't assume that the process that occurs in American public schools and education are in fact the same thing.
The specific type of sucides they are talking about are a small (but growing) subset of the total number of suicides.
I didn't say that sata raid could achieve the same speed as scsi, only that it can achieve the same low cpu utilization.
You can buy drive enclosures that allow you to hot swap hard drives.
You'd be crazy to do sata raid without a dedicated controller card. In that case, ide/sata has the same CPU utilization advantage scsi.
I love the beeping sounds the old seagate MFM drives made. 40 Mb in a 5.25" form factor
