Everytime some engineer dreams up a killer piece of technology, it gets banned. Figured out an effective shape that generates downforce? Get banned. Figure out how to recofigure ur car on the fly? Get banned.
And what about traction control? Adaptive suspension? not to mention 1001 other things that make a car go faster and safer, and turn better.
I hate it the way they keep banning technology. It used to be that F1 was the pinnicle of automative technology. Not anymore. Now you can buy a road car with more technology in it then an F1 car.
Personally, i don't think they'd include a pump driven system either. It's costly for one and it's a potential point of failure for another.
But yes, at the end of they day, i agree that all that was marketing and very little fact.
Yep. It's about as unnecessary as how my earlier post was modded troll because i expressed the opnion that this was a heat pipe and not a pump driven system.
Excuse me, but it IS a heat pipe and it's NOT pump driven.
FYI, I did RTFA and see this:
This system provides a continuous flow of thermally conductive fluid that transfers heat from the processors as they work harder. The heated fluid then flows through a radiant grille, where air passing over cooling fins returns the fluid to its original temperature.
That is clearly how a heat pipe works.
Furthermore, in relation to your question to another poster:
Mac OS X dynamically adjusts the flow of the fluid...
To control the flow of the fluid you would need a pump. You could put a valve in it, but that makes no sence, because a heat pipe adjusts it's own flow, passively, based on the heat load.
They did do it without a pump. And it's still a heat pipe. Heres how:
Mac OS X dynamically adjusts the flow of the fluid and the speed of the fans based on temperature.
By adjusting the speed of the fan that blows air through the radiant grille, they can control the cooling efficiency of the radiant grille.
So with the dynamically changed airflow, which in turn changes the temperature, the result will be a change in the pressure in the area covered by radiant grille within the closed system. This will cause a change in the speed at which the fluid flows.
Hence, Mac OS X dynamically adjusts the flow of the fluid
Read it properly next time and apply some common sense... Oh wait, this is Slashdot..
Does anyone else get the feeling that the rovers were actually designed to last this long, but the lifespan that was published was a PR version that was extraordinarily short, so that in the event the rovers didn't last this long, they could save having to answer questions?
Plus if it worked to spec, they could spin it up like this now, saying it lasted way beyond spec?
Anyway, I'm not complaining, it's good that the rovers are still healthy and are expected to last longer.. it's way overdue.
With Bit Torrent and a DSL line.. Plenty. heck just last night i burned 2 seasons of Enterprise to DVD and i have one more season to go.. not to mention other shows.
Then theres my work. I'm a design student, and this semester alone my work came to over 6 GB and that is not including all the raw data i had to delete.
Anyway, while not many peopel have work files that run into gigabytes, i'm sure we all download tonnes of stuff that we want to keep.
Is the day i absolutely refuse to buy any more music.
You know, I honestly hope they impliment this so that piracy can't take place, and no matter if you hear it over MTV or a mp3 or public radio you have to pay to listen each time.
Then the public in general will finally realise what a big joke the music industry is and revolt.
You might just be trying to be funny, but i'll bite. Capsaicin, the active ingredient in chillies, not only stimulates taste receptors on your tongue, but also pain receptors on your skin.
Capsaicin in concentrated form is extremely powerful, and is being tested in medical science as a relief for chronic pain by applying to the area that hurts and it will knock out the receptors on the skin for about 2 weeks.
So imagine what would happen if that got on your 'delicate machinery'.
They arn't exactly communist anymore. They are "socialists" now.
Anyway, i don't see how this is bad for China. If about 1/4 of a billion Americans can insist on using CDMA instead of GSN and using Imperial instead of metric, why can't OVER a billion Chinese insist on doing their own thing?
As it is, I don't see how letting China come up with standards can be any worse then letting some monopolistic companies come up with them.
you maybe trying to be funny, but i've read that in some places (Indonesia?) that is a problem. Apparently parents who want their children to score well in an exam will hire a syndicate where during the exam, the candidate will be provided with a phone, and the syndicate will obtain a copy of the exam paper and a genius outside will do the exam and sms the answers to the candidate.
So the way to make Star Wars better is to cut his budget?
And I'm only 1/2 kidding. I personally enjoy cheap films with a good story, then an expensive all CG and SFX animation 'wolf' in live action 'sheeps' clothing.

Sheesh.
The actual data might be retained but the models used for visualisatios could be compressed no?
if it's not a contarct then it's PR, which means it's advertising.
So why sue NW over false advertising?

The thing in it is not "liquid cooling" as modders usually install (the piping, holding tank etc.)
What apple is doing is simply hyping up marketing and PR on heat pipes, which Shuttle has been using for a long time now.
Nothing to see here. Move on.

I normally don't do this at all, but the Grammar Nazi in me just had to point out:

You started a sentence with a conjunction.
Suprisingly, none. Well i still do, but it all gets routed to the Junk folder.
I used to get about 6 a day, then suddenly, about 3 months ago, all the spam stop getting delivered into my inbox.
ALL. Well i think about 1 month ago, 1 got through, but that was it.
erm... exactly how muc sulphur is there in diesel made from cooking oil? Can't be all that much, considering we EAT the stuff it once was.
Yes, it does happen, but rarely.
One trick i know of is where guy has a camera in his backpack and his buddy has a small car battery or a couple of motorcycle battries in his.
Then all you need is some simple modding of the camera's power cord and viola, enough juice to last a whole movie.
Add to that, the writers "modern PC" is a modern in 1996. Which was what? a 486?
So while he may have been correct at the time the various parts of the project was underway, it's not true now.

There seems to be a lot of talk about India on SlashDot lately. Are the editors being outsourced there too?

If i were in your situation, I'd get my pal and wack him and hand him over to the cops for 'stealing' the cable.
Maybe thge sales person was talking about a 1 or 2 WAN port Router?
