Again, no cooling effect. These are adding wind, they are sucking it up and converting it too electricity. Remember the 1st law, conservation of energy.
Dreaming that these things would have a cooling effect is like believing the following:
If you're on a sailboat and blow into the sales, you theoretically move the boat a little bit.
Don't know where they got this statement from:
turbines have a dramtic colling effect on the structure.
This is not true. The turbines would actuall warm the structure. The turbines could only cool the structure if they were self-propelled by some fuel, but the turbines actually slow do the wind. In fact for maximum thermo-dynamic power transfer, the wind flowing through would be losing at least 50% of its umph....
The above statement leads be to believe that nobody is really taking this seriously.
No matter what speed an object is traveling, the speed of light observed by that object will not change.
There's a direct correlation between this theory and the value or happiness of a retarded person's life. If you don't get it, then you just aren't traveling as fast as I am, but is your life worth living?
Also, please never forget, "God doesn't roll dice." (Einstein).
My question is, why is this? Is it a result of the DBMS itself? Is it a result of different training and methodologies? Is it a result of the developers being even more eccentric than program developers? It just seems like most often there is a much simpler way of getting the same result.
The answer is that our database applications are more complicated because they actually do something useful.
The language resembles Oracle's PL/SQL (Procedural Language/SQL), except that PL/pgSQL offers the use of functions only, not procedures. A function call always returns some result,while a procedure may execute certain operations without returning a result. In some cases, database developers prefer using procedures and "stored procedures,"
So call the function and ignore the results. Duh..
But seriously, the article must not be describing the problem correctly. Do these databases have true Stored Procedures, as in your code running inside the RDBMS with the benefits of transaction management? I doubt it.
The open source db's are way, way behind. Like 15 years behind. If you develop an App of any size, go straight to Oracle on Linux. You can use all the Open source tools with it.
Saab did this. They mounted a Solar powered fan on the roof.
With today's standards, You would need about 25 car's roof tops worth of solar panels to power a very, very tiny a/c.

Please change your stand for humanity's sake.
Think about the theory of relatively.
No matter what speed an object is traveling, the speed of light observed by that object will not change.

So it's just a compiled Java?
