    That is why he didn't jus put the computer in ther frezer - Instead, he set up the system to just cool the CPU and the GPU. Granted, anything that cold will affect the ambient temperature in the computer, but then didn't have it in a case, so the cool will disapate faster.

    I thinnk that you are still missing the point - He isn't trying to get the most for his money - he is trying to get the most out of that particular processor. Yes it would probably be a better use of the $ to spend it on a whole bunck of Opteron, as you said. And those Opterons would probably give more power than this one processor that is insanely overclocked. That, however, in't what he was trying to accomplish. He had a processor (2, I think from reading the article - an Athlon and a Pentium 4) and he wanted to see how far he could push them. IN which case buying a bunch of Opterons wouldn't produce te same effect.

    Besides, this cooling system would work on Opterons as well - and from reading this guy's site, he probably would try th same thing on a Opteron if he had one.

    More and more often these days, desktop and web applications need to display and interact with rich graphics. The Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format published as a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Recommendation in September 2001 is part of the response to that need. SVG allows you to describe two-dimensional graphics -- such as generic shapes, images, and text -- with an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) grammar. These graphics can be styled through Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) or XML, using advanced styling functionalities such as color gradients and filter effects. SVG is the W3C-recommended, XML-based, standards-based alternative to similar proprietary formats.

    Here is the Babblefish translation, it is a little rough on the gramatical end, but what can you expect form a machine? Mail of EMI (attention, long text) RF600R (27 October 2002 17:13) Hello, after bought CD ran in none of my devices, I had one Mail written EMI. Here can do you my Mail and the answer from EMI read. schnipp -- Ladies and Gentlemen, yesterday I acquired the CD of TOTO " Through the looking glass ". Up the back is to be read : " It is designed tons compatible with CD audioplayers, DVD players and PC-OS, ms Windows 95, Pentium II 233 MHz 64MB RAM or more higher. " These statements are definitely wrong! * Only the pieces of 1-8 in my DVD Player leave themselves actual play. The pieces of 9-11 appear not and are not playable. A common CD Player does not possess I no more, so that these CD becomes worthless. * My Macintosh with MAC OS X 10,2,1 with that actually plays Software of itunes only the pieces of 1-7. All remaining pieces appear as only one audio TRACK, which is playable to the half only. Result: the CD is worthless. * My PC with Windows XP actually plays the CD only with up that CD Player present off. Unfortunately you conceal the fact, that this Player is mandatory on the CD Cover. There I very much carefully the software selects, which I on my computer is installed and I do not force themselves leave, proprietaere Software to use, is worthless as result these CD. I insured myself fortunately with the purchase that I these CD if necessary. under refunding the purchase price to return can. This is but only possible, since the dealer was so obliging. In the long run the copy protection does not fulfill its task , because it applies obviously: Copy protection = purchase protection! This is the more unfortunaty, there I an expressed fan of the group TOTO among other things are and. all albums possesses. Too it harms that IT prevented that I also the most current work at my cabinet to place can. Because I tend to also hear the music , which I buy. PilotFederal Labour Office-close I do not need . Altogether I would like you from given cause mine comment to Topic copy protection convey: Unfortunately you that not only the bad robbery copiers debt survey on Their recession in sales are. Rather are the rather following reasons decisive: * The main consumer - young people - give a majority of their Budget for Handys out, * with the DVD a competition medium appeared on the market, that deeply into the Gefilden of the music industry it fishes because it applies that one a euro only once to spend can and everyone more or less limited budget has * by the copy protection is playing the CDs on DVD Playern not or only very reduced possible. Many households are only still with DVD Playern equips. Unfortunately you cut yourselves thereby in own meat. Much toericht. * there is no copy protection, which is not to be cracked : -) Altogether you ignore simply the fact that each salesman by law is permitted to make a copy of its bought CD. Their behavior is altogether illegal. Unfortunately it shows up here that those Disk industry obviously a too strong lobby has. Result: I become no more CD from their still from another house buy, which is equipped with a copy protection. They are in my household not playable and thus worthlessly. How do you intend to recover me in the future as customers? Faithfully, xxx ANSWER OF EMI -- Very honoured Mr. xxx, we save it to us, on those remarks from your Mail to be received, those are obviously unqualified. We would also not like you with one it bores detailed explanation why the music industry under duress copy protection begins, although we also rather something other one would do. Only as much: in this year become over 250 million Blank Discs and Tapes for music overacting again bought and uses opposite 213 Millions before-taped clay/tone carriers. That means : only for 46 % everything again used clay/tone carrier becomes also for musical contents to those Repertoire owner paid. To the comparison: 1998 still became for nearly 90 % all clay/tone carrier paid for the use of contents. Also without economical study might be clear to each reader that not continue to exist to such a development the music industry can. Massive clones of before-taped clay/tone carriers by burning CD R-S can only one opposite become i.e. , copy protection. That is also that Reason, why record Companies increases its CDs protect must. One Alternative one for the stop of this abuse is not unfortunately in view. We are not afraid only, all these facts become you at all interest, because with these measures the end of the free availability of Music on CDs one rings in , which might not please you at all. You should actually a playing problem with the lodged a complaint CD have, we would ask you to call us the exact Playertyp . We can then this type compare with the available list of that Player, up those our CDs problem-free run. From it it results whether that Problem really because of the copy protection is or however completely different reasons for it are responsible. The case spoken by you that same several different Player does not play, can after our experiences only out the range of the fairy tales come. Of us used Copy protection technology is State OF The kind, i.e.. there is to time nothing Better. If there should be something better, we become this also begin. The Abspielbarkeitsprobleme with conventional CD Playern are minimum, but and again occur it that copy-protected CDs up a Player do not run. We indicate these cases immediately ours Copy protection Provider of far, which is also endeavored, the technology accordingly to adapt and repair the problems . If you intend, to crack copy protection measures and itself the CDs otherwise to burn, we must point out you that this in Shortness with the conversion of the European copyright novella to German Quite is punishable. Kind of such injuries of copyright become then also criminally to be pursued . The responsible persons of the Consumer protection Ministry will say to you nothing different one - it were the straight politicians, who requested us in addition , finally To also begin copy protection measures . If you intend, against future CD publications also Copy protection further to protest, then we can calm you down: Copy protection Yes or No is long answered, and it is a question of months, to world-wide all CDs copy-protected to be more or less published . And that is also well like that, so that the music does not remain on the distance. But become we everything do, what is possible for us - whether it pleases you or not.

    Also, overshooting wouldn't work, because where the shell is shot down at is relitive to where it is fired from and where and when the laser is fired. Also, most of the debris would fall in the vicinity to the explosion, as some of it will be forced in all directions as the shell explodes.
