  3. Re:very old rev on AMD Athlon 64 Performance Preview · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    0301=2003 week 1 thats just 4 months ago or so doesnt seem like its all that early of a chip to me. but then again supposedly needing 3 months to get good yields from a change in design (i think). so I wonder what is AMD's poduction capacity for these chips?

  5. Not the best idea on Lycoris Build 71 Beckons For Your Desktop · · Score: 1
    lycoris isnt really all that great of an idea but it might be a step in the right direction. It _may_ help people to learn a little bit about linux and what type of animal it really is. but it could allso give a few people some poor opinions about linux in the long run.

    lycoris is in _NO WAY_ designed for anyone who is even moderatly experienced with linux it tries to hide the fact that it actualy has a command line. without windows compatability lycoris takes away a lot of the advantages of switching to linux.

  8. Re:I thought so. on Genome Surprise · · Score: 2, Interesting
    this is a little off topic but jsut a small fact (taken from the discovery channel) it takes roughly 20,000 years for the evoloution of white skin to black skin and vise versa. the further north you move the lighter your skin gets and is allso reduced in the amount of "natural sun screen" you skin has. and it was allso sugested that maybe the first humans where black because the harsh adaptation required to live in winter climates.

    Humans have allways been good at explaining why they are the better than someone/thing else

    when was the last time you time you heard about a chicken that came home and beat the sh*t out of his hen? you dont see a chicken hooking up another guys nuts to a car batery do you? no because chickens are decent people!

  16. 50 watts? on Cirocco Live Liquid Cooled Rack · · Score: 1
    50 wats isnt much at all (yea ya i know been said) but I was just thinking. With my current setup my cpu outputs around 172watts and with 120CFM fan on a heater core (thats the thing in your car that delivers heat) I get around 40~45C with an ambient of 25. do they use one enormous radiator or a few little ones cuz their temsp are pathetic (highest 43C) not to mention that all of those have peeked to 55C - 80C within the last HOUR! (supprised some of those are still working)

    geuse they know not to put gellow in it next time

  18. is it worth it? on Texas Rep Wants To Jail File Traders · · Score: 1

    not like this will make a diffrence but its simply something to think about. ok I have litteraly Never bought a CD I can never see the cost benefit in it. but assume that its true that they put 3 good dongs on a cd and the rest are crap. how long does it take for them to make those songs? how much work do they put in it? a CD costs 20 bucks (i think :) how much does a good novel cost? something that some person has devoted years of their life to creating. . . It just seems to me that these music people might be a little selfish. and if they say well I have to pay for my car and house etc. so what so does ever other person in the world you should be happy to be so fortunate!

  20. Re:The thing you people miss... on Vapor-phase Processor Cooling · · Score: 1, Insightful

    well heres my 2 cents to this first of what YOU are missing this is a novelty its not ment to be for high end servers although . . . its like people that supper charge cars to get more speed second off the reason that the processor runs soo much better at these cool tempratures is 2 things. The frist is that at room temprature anything that conducts electricity automaticaly resists the flow of electrons the only way to get true conductivity would be to freze the material to absoloute zero. which may or may not be possible. and the second reason is thermal expansion (or laqe there of) the more you cool something the smaller it gets.

  21. Re:Too cool for comfort on Vapor-phase Processor Cooling · · Score: 1

    it has to get pretty god damn cold for stuff of that nature to happen then your talking about the guy that uses liquid nitrogen to cool his computer. that would require the chip to be close to absoloute zero (the temp that atoms stop which may or may not be possibl)

  24. Re:This might sound really stupid... on Vapor-phase Processor Cooling · · Score: 1

    its a novelty its like people who mod cars and put niro into it etc. . . ya know most processors can run well with a crappy heat sink. its the fast processos that take more and more heat. they are constantly trying to make processors more efficient a p2 at 1.4 ghz would be ungodly hot and an athlon XP at 333 may not even need a heat sink.

  25. Re:immersion on Vapor-phase Processor Cooling · · Score: 1

    this is a bit harder than you may know :) first you have to get a liquid that wont conduct electricity. H20 de-ionized as soon as you taint the water with ions the becomes useless. I considered doing this but found it to be too complex to perform without major investments. if you use convection you have to have below room temp cooler to get any reasonable advantage. you could use a pump and run it through a radiator which would be dificult at best.
