Why not just try reducing the number of heat sources..that is where the biggest 'gain' will be, considering the overall goal.
Shut down systems and external drives, chargers, wireless phone cradles, and all those blasted heat pumping CRTs.
Keep this incident in mind next budget, and replace those CRTs with LCDs.
I bought a bag of those new 'Ricky Dean Low Fat Itanium Chips' just last week, but the dog got to them while I was reaching for the salsa, so I didn't even have a chance to eat just one....damn!
What part of "Do not let a very strong freak gust of wind rip me (the airship) out of the hands of my handlers" did it fail to understand?
...or...
"In case of a very strong freak gust of wind which will rip me (the airship) out of the hands of my handlers...shut down and stay put NOW!", DIAFTU?
'Intelligent' my airship anchor.
Teaching Computers to Work in Unison By STEVE LOHR
Computers do wondrous things, but computer science itself is largely a discipline of step-by-step progress as a steady stream of innovations in hardware, software and networking pile up. It is an engineering science whose frontiers are pushed ahead by people building new tools rendered in silicon and programming code rather than the breathtaking epiphanies and grand unifying theories of mathematics or physics.

Yet computer science does have its revelatory moments, typically when several advances come together to create a new computing experience. One of those memorable episodes took place in December 1995 at a supercomputing conference in San Diego. For three days, a prototype project, called I-Way, linked more than a dozen big computer centers in the United States to work as if a single machine on computationally daunting simulations, like the collision of neutron stars and the movement of cloud patterns around the globe.
There were glitches and bugs. Only about half of the 60 scientific computer simulations over the I-Way worked. But the participants recall those few days as the first glimpse of what many computer scientists now regard as the next big evolutionary step in the development of the Internet, known as grid computing.
"It was the Woodstock of the grid -- everyone not sleeping for three days, running around and engaged in a kind of scientific performance art," said Dr. Larry Smarr, director of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, who was the program chairman for the conference.
The idea of lashing computers together to tackle computing chores for users who tap in as needed -- almost as if a utility -- has been around since the 1960's. But to move the concept of distributed computing utilities, or grids, toward practical reality has taken years of continuous improvement in computer processing speeds, data storage and network capacity. Perhaps the biggest challenge, however, has been to design software able to juggle and link all the computing resources across far-flung sites, and deliver them on demand.
The creation of this basic software -- the DNA of grid computing -- has been led by Dr. Ian Foster, a senior scientist at the Argonne National Laboratory and a professor of computer science at the University of Chicago, and Dr. Carl Kesselman, director of the center for grid technologies at the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute.
They have worked together for more than a decade and, a year after the San Diego supercomputing conference, they founded the Globus Project to develop grid software. It is supported mainly by the government, with financing from the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, NASA and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
There has been a flurry of grid projects in the last few years in the United States, Europe and Japan, most of them collaborations among scientific researchers at national laboratories and universities on projects like climate modeling, high-energy physics, genetic research, earthquake simulations and brain research. More recently, computer companies including IBM, Platform Computing, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft have become increasingly interested in grid technology, and some of the early commercial applications include financial risk analysis, oil exploration and drug research.
This month, grid computing moved further toward the commercial mainstream when the Globus Project released new software tools that blend the grid standards with a programming technology called Web services, developed mainly in corporate labs, for automated computer-to-computer communications.
Enthusiasm for grid computing is also broadening among scientists. A report this year by a National Science Foundation panel, "Revolutionizing Science and Engineering Through Cyberinfrastructure," called for new financing of $1 billion a year to mak

He said 'body'. Not 'chassis'... He said 'innovator'...not 'technologically advanced'.
Coming in late to the party and qualifying what was clearly a shot from the hip doesn't change the fact that he deserved to be corrected...which you've helped to accomplish, thereby underscoring my original point, thanks:)
The qualifier was perhaps 'innovator'...which is different than 'volume production', and that was what prompted my comment:) Audi used aluminum in various instances in the past, I'm sure, but as far as a retail product, the A8 doesn't break any ground, body wise. Don't get me wrong, I think they are superb automobiles.
Wonder what preceeded the Porsche...who lays claim to the first aluminum body...?

At the highest resolution, you can always drop down if you need to.
You can't go up, however, if all you have to start with are low resolution shots.
That's why we call it 'capture'...and low rez 'loss'
Why not just try reducing the number of heat sources..that is where the biggest 'gain' will be, considering the overall goal. Shut down systems and external drives, chargers, wireless phone cradles, and all those blasted heat pumping CRTs. Keep this incident in mind next budget, and replace those CRTs with LCDs.
Not that I disapprove, but this is like putting their photos on the front page when they get busted for picking up hookers...
:)
Next thing you know, the impound yards will be full of winbox servers
That was last decade...this is today. Take another look. Multi-function is where it's at.
Multi-function...approx. USD$850.00 - Mac/PC
Details here...
More on that unit...
50% of those 80% will be running a dual boot XP/Linux under VMWAre.
:)
Linux under Windows under Linux....
It's a joke...you tightass...laugh! Read the submission guidelines, for what they're worth... :)
is anyone buying itanium chips
I bought a bag of those new 'Ricky Dean Low Fat Itanium Chips' just last week, but the dog got to them while I was reaching for the salsa, so I didn't even have a chance to eat just one....damn!
I'll see your gauss pistol and raise you my degauss automatic....wanna see it again?
As an aside, I no longer find myself 'just firing up' something or other.
Apps like Oo.O are run at start, and left running. Along with Safari, Mail, iTunes, Reason, SlashDock, etc. etc.
2gb of RAM seems to help. Why 'open & close'...'open & leave running', I say.
Are you kidding?
MS Word doesn't import MS Word documents properly...

...that bastard Scott is right?
The network really is the computer?
Where'd I put that mousepad......
I picked up a copy of Reloaded on DVD over a month ago... in Seoul....what's with this October noise :)
There is also a fresh iDVD software update today as well. Rumored to fix the "I don' wanna!!!" message...something about multiplexing :)
No restart needed!!
I've enjoyed a secure online connection with my bank for years now, and it has remained non-platform specific.
Any chance I can vote, online, from overseas, via my bank?
