I heard it was when they were warm, that the transistors operated faster on a relative scale and that resistors resisted the rated value at higher temperatures more consistently than the same resistors at lower temperatures. But the part about the CPU at room temperature, not too cold or warm is what I was trying to get at and the -7C figure the editorial pointed out seemed too cold.
From CmdrTaco editorial insert after the submitted text, what would cause someone to say that cooling fans are "gorgeous"?
Girls are gorgeous (the good looking ones), some cars are gorgeous (the good looking ones), but cooling fans in a case you only see for the few minutes they are put on a processor are not gorgeous. They are pieces of metal and plastic! What, are you going to try and convince me aluminum cans are gorgeous? Please, spend some time tonight with a girl (or guys, if that's your thing), not fantasizing over cooling fans.
Don't transistors (or whatever is inside processors) go faster/work better when they are hot?
I read in the headline that they got it down to -7C. At that temperature, shouldn't the nature of slower cooled transistors kick in and fundamentally (I've wanted to use that word all week) make the processor slow down? To achieve a balance, one of the many hardware review sites should run benchmarks with the CPU at different temperatures and maybe find out a temperature in the middle (~25C or 30C) or on the extreme hot side before it damages/shuts down (~55C or 60C).
Those temperature figures might be wrong, but you get the idea. Maybe the solution isn't to cool it the absolute maximum but to use or create a control system for this compressor to get the temperature constant no matter how much heat is generated.
I hope I conveyed what I'm trying to say and if I read this post again later today, I'll probably think I had a mental deficiency.
haha, I read everyone's responses and I know what they are talking about, I got hit by it a few times last semester (yes, my biological calendar runs on semesters, not report card periods, fiscal years or whatever). Good show old boy.
First, let me say I'm relatively new to Debian, but not to Linux (I used Slackware for a long time, then RH 4.2 for a long time). I have it installed in VMware and I use it (or RH 8.0) when I have the itch to use X (my server also runs RH 6.2 w/ KDE 3.0.3 and I use VNC too sometimes).
Debian is nice, I tried 2.2 and it was like 'eh, I'm used to RH' and didn't pick it up, but I like Debian. I'm still getting caught by the learning curve, not knowing Debian-specific command equivalents to Redhat commands that I do know.
To get what I'm trying to say, dselect is very confusing to me, I don't know what to do to install stuff at all, to resolve dependancies and whatnot. I have gotten very used to apt-get and other apt tools with their simplicity.
In regards to finding applications, I usually go on freshmeat.net and do a search for a keyword, like `ftp` or `spreadsheet` and I get a project name. Alternatively, I could run `apt-cache search ` with an optional grep if needed and that works fine too.
That's how I feel and sorry if my thoughts seem incoherent, they tend to do that past midnight.
You are the fucking man. I never thought I'd see a casual reference to Lewis Black in this place. Have you heard his new CD, The End Of The Universe? I got it, it's a lot angrier and it deals with a lot more political issues. Anywho, I had to give you props on that.
I had a friend that worked at an Electronics Boutique near my house. He told me about video games and trading cards that had that same arrangement, "don't shelf until this date or pay lots of money". He said it was to make the published release dates in advertisements coincide with the sale of the item.
I also saw on the news way back when the third latest Harry Potter book came out, a month before the book to be released, a local Wal-Mart (to me) put the book on the shelf and sold it.
It just goes to show you, video games are more important than books.
I've never heard anyone on the east coast mention anything about TiVo or PVR systems. There are other states beside California or New York, 48 of them as a matter of fact.
The name is "Clippit", the paper clip that comes around and bothers you. At least according to the Office XP (2002) setup program, it's named Clippit. Clippy does sound better, but Clippit is the updated name, time to use it.
If you had stopped to think for a millisecond, you would have realized the term rice or ricers was referring to a rice boy, boys that buy Honda Civics and other Japanese cars and race them. It's not about the people, it's about the car manufacturers.
Someone else pointed to www.riceboypage.com and Bryan, the website owner is an asian-american and he calls them rice boys because of the fact I stated above. Take your half-assed whiny PC complaints to the Conservative Coalition and stop posting.
I agree with you, the only thing that keeps the Final Fantasy series together is the name and the adventure/battle system concept. I think Square could have done better if the plots were organized in a series, so that you only knew the whole thing if you bought/played all of them in order of their release to get the whole story.
I also agree that Square has done a fine job of showing what kind of graphics power the console it was designed on can handle. My sister bought and played some of FF X for PS2 while I was around and it looks great.
If these peripheral games like Parasite Eve and The Bouncer are merely exercises in game design, I'd like the real masterpiece to be in a much different game than Final Fantasy [i+1]. I don't doubt that Square is a leading company in game development, I just want them to go in new directions.
Why can't square move on from the Final Fantasy name? Do they bank that much on the Final Fantasy name because they are that afraid of beginning another project? I think it's time for Square to move on gracefully now, rather than when Final Fantasy XV comes out and it's completely dead.
You get mad props from me. I can't stand it when non-Americans have to take it upon themselves to spout rhetoric and talk to us like we're arrogant.
Especially this line of posts about Alberto Santos-Dumont. It's like all these people are in his fan club with Alberto Santos-Dumont decoder rings when they drank enough Ovaltine. All these people like to regurgitate arguments by people stealing inventions.
Americans make all the cool and useful inventions, like
I hate those bastards in California that get all the events and shit. Why can't the Linux expo come to Richmond Virginia? Why can't they show special movies in Norfolk Virginia? Dockworkers and Naval officers want to see Japanese films too. What makes California so special, they're going to fall into the Pacific anyway.
P.S. The gold rush has been over for a few years, time to come home to the east coast, where America started!
Would you please explain to me why we should be thankful to a country who sat on their ass in two world wars until either they were attacked... or some of their people were killed.
That's easy, we're looking out for us. Of course the US would protect our own interests, we can't be the world police (even though in some situations [*cough*Mogadishu, 1993*cough*] it seems like we are). It may seem unfair that we are picking our fights, but thats because of our position in the world.
This ends comments back to you. I have some things to say to the general audience that they might like to read.
This anti-US rhetoric is getting boring, and do you know why? Because we do dumb things like any other country, but the world needs to put us on a stage and say "this is what a bad country is run like" and make us look like the bad guys. I bet many other countries with competing technology has their problems but they get swept under the rug while people from that country sit on their high-horse and bash the US. Don't say anything more about the US because it's all been said.
One last thing, for those people saying we brought 9/11 on ourselves is total bullshit. We didn't hijack planes and fly them into our buildings, that's totally proposterous. The real problem are the islamic militants, especially al-Qaeda that take the Koran and misinterpret what it says, and in turn use religion has some sort of support for their effort, like they are doing their God's will. Islamic scholars have totally disagreed with what al-Qaeda has done and said it has no foundation in the Koran. So, before you say everything that happens to us is our fault, get the facts first.
What have YOU done for your country... ? Or any of your friends, or your parents? Just because one generation had enough balls to go and die for what they believe is right doesn't mean you have the cahones to do it yourself.
It's because of the simple fact that since WW2, combat has grown up. Now we don't send soldiers to their death in hopes of winning, we fight with more technology and intelligence. The US hasn't engaged anyone in combat enough to draft anyone, we use only volunteers into the armed services. That's the difference between then and now, get it straight.

imagine Planet of the Apes as a cartoon.
Troy: [singing]
I hate every ape I see
From chimpan-a to chimpan-zee
No you'll never make a monkey out of me
Oh my God, I was wrong
It was Earth all along
You've finally made a monkey
Apes: Yes we've finally made a monkey
Troy: Yes you've finally made a monkey out of me
Apes: Yes we've finally made a monkey out of you
Troy: I love you, Dr. Zaius!

Don't forget the "Alan Thicke was found dead" troll too. My day seems to go by a little better after reading it.
Having women being raped by snakes and tentacles doesn't work well with real actors. Trust me on this one...
