  1. Re:Liquid cooling for datacentres? on Asetek LCLC Takes Liquid Cooling Mainstream · · Score: 1

    Liquid cooling hit the mainstream, mainframes in fact, 'way back in the early 1980s with the IBM 3090 mainframe. What we now call a water block, IBM called the Thermal Conduction Module. According to an article in Scientific American at the time, it combined a water block and chip packaging. The metal of the TCM directly contacted the chip substrates.

    Does anyone know about any water-cooled supercomputers?

  2. News You Can Use on ISPs Using "Deep Packet Inspection" On 100,000 Users · · Score: 1

    No regulation needed here, just transparency. Hey, WashPost, dig up the ISP names and report them. This is just part of the ISPs' service: better, more relevant ads. I want to know which ISPs in my area do this, so I can make a more-informed choice of ISP!

    Where's real investigative journalism when you need it?

  3. Re:because they've been conditioned on Why Is Less Than 99.9% Uptime Acceptable? · · Score: 1

    Wired telephone and natural gas don't have outages in the Gulf Coast and midwestern areas I've lived in. That only happens in New York, Chicago, and Southern California, where all problems occur.

  4. Re:Cue... on Fourth Undersea Cable Taken Offline In Less Than a Week · · Score: 1

    He isn't? Every Democrat is running against him.
    Safer target than the other democrats, perhaps.

  5. Re:Wrong question... on DRM-Free Music Spells Trouble? · · Score: 1

    artists are going to starve in a digital world without DRM! No, mostly they're not. Pop musicians get their money from concerts, not from CD sales. If you want to support an artist, go to a concert.
  6. Electric cars on Nanowires Boost Laptop Battery Life to 20 Hours · · Score: 1

    What would this do for a Chevy Volt? The article mentioned cars, but nothing quantitative.

  7. Re:I have seen the future. on Profile of the Russian Business Network · · Score: 1

    I agree that blocking entire people groups is a bad idea; we need the inter-cultural exchange. But the RBN's clients aren't interested in exchanging ideas, and they're not a people group. They chose their line of business. Block'em.

    Furthermore, I wouldn't have government take action. Leave it up to individual ISPs and blacklist maintainers. If you don't agree with what your ISP blocks, it's easier to change your ISP than your country.
