The idea of operating data centers at much higher temperatures for the sake of saving energy is flawed. The cooling load due to watts dissipated in the form of heat is constant no matter what the room temperature is. The heat gains through the building envelope are extremely small compared to the heat off the equipment and lights, and any small savings from a higher room temperature could be instantly wiped out by any equipment failure.
Don't do it. Just because manufacturers spec their equipment as being able to operate at up to 40 C (and can go higher than that) doesn't mean you should do it. And don't forget the people who have to work there.
Microsoft has introduced 36 new bugs (at least!) to Windows 7, calling them "features." In that case it's bound to be the most feature-laden OS on planet Earth!
For serious listening I play vinyl LPs. They just sound better, more like music. But my mobile phone has a hard time playing LPs, and the stylus keeps getting stuck in my ear when I answer a call.
I guess he'll never be promoted to chair-man of the board.
Imagine a young single woman named Eula getting hired by Microsoft, one day yelling in the back of a car, "Violate me! Violate me!" If the guy is also a MS employee, do you think he'll get canned?
I wonder if MS will eventually find that it has overextended itself by investing too much in competing with Google, and if that will end up eventually hurting them financially in a manner similar to the way the USSR went bankrupt trying to keep up with the US.
One can only hope. I'll make a toast in your honor for this thought.
It's because of Microsoft's track record, and you know they don't do anything out of charity without strings attached. It's just another example of their sly greedy practices. And after all, Ballmer has to keep his developers busy to have something to scream about.

Who's chairing these meetings?
So what does this mean for blind hookers?

Bottom line, it's a dumb idea.
The little voices in my head tell me you're wrong.
Meh, that's probably less than Microsoft's annual budget for office furniture, especially chairs. Now, Google might be a different story.

Other states should put huge taxes on stuff shipped out of Wisconsin. Watch cheese sales plummet. Milk it for all it's worth.
Does that mean the Developers! Developers! Developers! are done?
And when is Google's turn?
So much for the iPhone's alleged superiority as the supreme geek toy.
This ought to be a big hit in West Virginia.
they'll have a lot of empty chairs.
Yeah, some people at MS have seen Chair and say it really flies but crashes a lot.
Breasts!

...to come up with a silly name like Thumbtack.
But I'll be happy to put a thumbtack on Ballmer's chair.
Let 'em track all the pr0n I download.
I wonder if their "free" offer includes a jar of Vaseline to ease the pain?
When he wound up in Mexico, he said, "I knew I shoulda taken a left toin at Albuquoique!"
But I guess that means it's curtains (Windows, get it?) for Microsoft's PDF killer, XPS. Kill Google? Backatcha, Steve-o!

So much for the old expression, "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we may die."
Can I have fries with that?

> 'they read your mail and we don't.'
Translation: 'Our developers aren't smart enough. Trust us.'
it sounds like a calculated risk.

How long before all that computing power can fit into your shirt pocket?
Gimme!
