  1. Re:Where is your datacenter? on Hot Aisle Or Cold Aisle For Containment? · · Score: 1

    So, expanding the solution further, build one side of the data-centre in a cold environment, the other side in a hot environment. Air flow could be solved by elevating one end, causing natural ventilation (the "chimney effect").

    Or have I missed something?

    I said the same thing 22 years ago...

  4. Re:Make them maintain their own damn computer on Computer Competency Test For Non-IT Hires? · · Score: 1

    Um, I used to pay for my own tools as a modelmaker. The UK government even gave me a tax free tooling allowance. It was my job to make sure I had the correct tools for the job and I was paid accordingly.

    Bring it on. I could make a small fortune on the side repairing people's lost icons.

    AVG burned us with proxies. Did you forget?

  7. Re:I just don't see the issue on Google Street View Logs Wi-Fi Networks, MAC Addresses · · Score: 1

    Burglars. I thought the same way as you did before they snapped my house (UK too).

    But there, in plain view, is the siren for my burglar alarm. 200 decibels of pure audible violence. And one inside the house for good measure.

    Nothing to fear here, move along to the next house.

  8. Re:The only question that counts: on An Early Look At Next-Gen Shooter Bodycount · · Score: 1

    I used to play FPS games way, way back before the RSI and sore shoulders got the better of me. I was never that good at them but still spent all evening playing and then some.

    These days I play FPSs solely on the 360. I'm forever getting the most kills, the most headshots, leading the pack - why? Either I've gotten better, or everyone else has gotten worse.

    I can flick the thumb stick and the crosshair lands pretty close to the target. No different than using a mouse. A little step left or right with the left stick and there's the headshot. No different than an adjustment using "A" or "D". The controller feels as natural as a keyboard and mouse.

    I understand that diehards fine the controller hard to use because I did too. It doesn't take long to get used to it though.

  9. Re:This is the meatrix on Cows On Treadmills Produce Clean Power For Farms · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the calorific value is? Surely burning them to heat water would be more efficient?

  10. Re:What about... on Google Says Spam Volumes On the Rise · · Score: 1

    Strange because my gmail account currently has 830 in the spam folder, down from 3,000.

  11. Re:Nooooooo! No more iPad 'news' items, please. on Israel Blocks iPad Imports, Citing Wi-Fi Transmission Regulations · · Score: 1

    The media overlord BBC is touting Apple products to the point of being obsessive. There's no escape. It's disgusting.

  12. Re:Bravo, Bravissimo on How Chat and Youth Are Killing the Meeting · · Score: 1

    Meetings are the practical alternative to work!

    Last week, I actually told someone to repeat the question as I was daydreaming. It got a laugh but I hoped, deep down, the speaker realised that long meetings are boring and non-productive. People who think that a 5,000 word speech makes them sound knowledgeable and important are deluded.

  13. Re:Please let me use the same password on Please Do Not Change Your Password · · Score: 1

    These alpha to numeric encodes make me laugh. Every dictionary attack app I've seen has a checkbox for this. Encoding doubles the cracking time from 3 seconds, to 6 seconds. Why bother?

  14. Re:Kin dle? on Microsoft Unveils 'Pink' Phones As Kin One and Two · · Score: 1

    Kin'ell is a popular phrase in these parts. It is obviously short for Fucking Hell. Well done Microsoft.

  15. Re:Isn't Google missing the point? on Google Incorporates Site Speed Into PageRank Calculation · · Score: 1

    I was going to say "Google Maps" and leave it at that.

  16. Re:interesting concept on Wake Forest Researchers Swap Skin Grafts For Cell Spraying · · Score: 1

    I beleive they starve the mice of oxygen. Hanging is too good for them. I would have liked to have seen gladiator style battles to the death.

    They should remake that show. I was too young to understand it the first time.

  18. Re:Where's my computerized credit card? on Warhammer Online Users Repeatedly Overbilled · · Score: 1

    Are you being sarcastic AC? It's so hard to tell from your posting history and your lack of emoticons.

    Computerised bank accounts are normal.

    Shell scripts are not needed. A simple online form is all that is needed. We call them Standing Orders.

    A Chip'n'Pin reader (encrypted), password, PIN, and customer number (not bank account number) provide more than enough authentication.

    Welcome to the UK.

    It'll get abused like the DCMA.

    And I honestly can't see Virgin Media cutting off my internet because that'll mean they'll have to cut off the phone, cable TV (two boxes, DVR, HD, Sky Sports), mobile phone, case of wine once a year and everything else Branson might like to sell me for the next 50 years.

    I like the nags and know a little about breeding. A single pair would not be enough to create a herd.

    That's cool. I think my garden shed, which is too far away from the house to make running cables worth the effort, is going to get two holes in the roof today.

    I hate imperial but here goes...

    60 miles per hour = 88 feet per second

    Now can people see the danger?

    Back in the late nineties I wouldn't have thought twice about downloading a whole site. It wasn't unusual. I had a program for doing it, although I believe the popular browser of the day had a feature that saved a good potion.
