Cisco employs similar tactics, but since they don't have the license audit leverage, they engage in character
assassination of IT people who resist Cisco implementations. Isn't capitalism fun?
As opposed to the real assasinations that
are engaged in under socialism.
Yah, and people will never make the transition from the horse to the car.
Or from flapping their
arms to flying a Harrier Jump Jet.
It took me no time at all to get used to flapping my arms. I couldn't even figure out how to open the cockpit
of the jet, and I spent a whole hour. Sure, I did not RTFM, but what's your point?

A Million Moron March will take place in Washington to take iPods away from all the
people who don't use them for piracy.
Soccer Moms will drive 6000 lb SUVs to school meetings and town halls everywhere to urge that iPods be
banned, "For the Children (tm)"
A National iPod database will be created to monitor the posessions of iPods. Yadda, yadda yadda.
"heals" is what a cut does after you put a band-aid on it.
Ispell does not help you there.
I hear that the problem here is firmly between the keyboard and the chair.
However, only a heel would make fun of Taco's disability which sadly cannot be healed.
There is no solution once we find that their teacher could not help them in their budding youth, they're forever doomed to confuse like-sounding words.
Add up the heat input into the system (in watts) from the 3 drives. Then find the specs on the radiator, which should be a graph showing watts dumped at different CFMs of air thru the radiator,
as well as different flow rates of water, at different temperatures. The temperature will balance when the watts into the system equals the watts out of the system, so you solve for this equilibrium.
To make a first order estimate: if you put in heat from 3 drives instead of one, you need 3 times the air flow thru the radiator to keep the same water temp., assuming the flow of water is still adequate to move the heat around without too much temperature rise.
In practice, you may be able to live with the water temp rise
created without increasing the airflow thru the radiator.
The water picks (dissolves) metals from the cooler parts and becomes conductive over time. The pictures show bare copper parts in contact with the water. Deionized water is a very aggresive solvent.
The kits shown in the review seem to mix copper and aluminium components. If the coating on the aluminium parts gets scratched on the water side (like from screwing in the tube fittings) a galvanic (battery) reaction will occur and the exposed aluminium will corrode away.

Many of these pictures were taken around 1910. Even if CDs and DVDs last 90 years, why do you think there will
be reader mechanisms easily available around 90 years from now that will read them?
Can you get a drive to read 8 track music today? How about a player for Wax cylinder recordings? Or how about a tape recorder/player which works with spools of soft iron wire (used in the 1940s).
90 years from now CDs and DVDs will be as quaintly obsolete, and Slashdotters in the year 2100 will never have heard of them.
The only data sure to last thru time is that which can be read by humans directly: Text and Photos on film/paper.
Get rid of your TV. I did that over a year ago,
and now _I_ control what I am exposed to and how.
The insistent noise and flashing lights of the TV are designed to mesmerize you, in the same way a Cobra mesmerizes a Rat. You become just a passive target, too numb to even press the buttons on the remote.
And since all the stations show basically the same thing, changing the channel wouldn't save you anyway.
I sold my house 4 years ago without a realtor, by creating a website for it, and listing it with several online listing services whose names I of course do not remember.
I found that the realtors are incredibliy hostile and will do their best to steer people away from a "for sale by owner" house. The realtors realize that their 7% commision is in great danger if buyers and sellers can find each other. I would not be surprised if Realtors were actively trying to shut down home listing sites.
Let's say you're an older
guy (50+)...how would you feel, for example, if you never actually saw a Mountain Dew or MTV ad? Wouldn't
you want to know what kids these days are up to?
If I wanted to know what my kids were up to, I'd have a conversation with them.
Watching TV to get hints seems like a really unlikely way to connect with my kids.
You have put your finger on the crux of the matter- PHBs who are out of their depth.
There is nothing you can do to save this situation. You can be a great help to your talented coworkers by taking one of your offers, and helping those coworkers get jobs in your new company, or one of the offers you turn down.
The longer you stay, the more you will get worn down, the lower your energy level, and the harder it will be getting more offers.
Slashdot Mirror
I went to a used book store and got 340 classic science fiction books from the 1940s to the 1980s (Heinlin, Asimov, Bradbury, PK Dick, etc).
My cost was $93.75.
The ideas in most of these books are amazing, especially considering when they were written...
And put them into an inferior visual format you cannot read without the computer being working and on?
And you are going to spend about 100 hours to do this.. and the original books are going to be ruined.
All this just so you don't have to make 3 trips to move your books?
Mmmkayyy.. (backs away slowly)
Have you ever heard of a dolly?

A lot more people will see that, and they are your boss, not you.
The proof should be obvious:If you actually look at the picture, you see there is no swarm of flying monkeys attacking the Penguin.

The harvester and packager of the product is the huge machine which keeps the TV screen saturated with images targeted to specific groups.
The consumer of this product is the advertiser.
As long as you keep that in mind, all of this makes perfect sense.
The TV isn't on for YOU. It's on for them.
There has been a shooting. Let's take guns away from the people who did not do it.

Well, considering that you are not even given the ability to set the clock yourself, probably the same thing that happened to your divx player...
