It all depends on the heat conductivity of the materials.
By your logic, processors don't need to have any heat sinks or fans, since they are already surrounded by ambient air and are already transferring all the heat they can because of temperature difference. But we know that is false since fans and different materials don't make anything cooler because they are inherently cooler, but are required for high heat producing systems none the less.
Cement has a better heat conductivity than air, so does water, and so does copper. By using the copper tubing filled with water as a sort of 'heat wire' to the cement floor he is increasing the total surface area of the system for heat dissipation (Surface area is why heat sinks are designed in that porcupine manner).
I'll give you that maybe it won't be as great as he thinks it will be, but the theory that it is better submerged in the basement floor than in the open air is sound to me.
I don't think the idea is to use the earth as a cooling mechanism, but the large area of cement itself as a heat sink. Every basement concrete floor I've ever walked on in my bare feet is pretty cold and could be assumed to be a good heat conductor. As for the structure of the foundation, he's got a good six inches for the concrete from the pictures and plenty of re-bar, with proper saw cuts and a deep perimeter foundation, he should be fine.
Another strong agreement for both The Henry Ford and Greenfield Village.

If you are smart enough to know how to get men to pay you for getting naked on a web cam, then you are also smart enough to know that, duh, you have to pay tax for it.

Thank you for pointing this out. All I've seen so far is people bitching about bitching, senseless talk about shading and lighting, and retard elitists spewing off about "if you can't do it yourself, then don't criticize, durrrr..." like they've never criticized something they couldn't do before.
It's fucking Diablo, not WoW. The colors look like WoW, not Diablo. Can we please have the Diablo feel, the one that made Blizzard an earlier pile of money, before they made a butt fuck pile of money off of WoW.
The biggest changes I saw between the two 'screenshots', were textures and colors. Not what was behind candle light and what wasn't.
They both provide their own roles. I'd rather have standards done the right way then have a standard to be to push out shiny things done in a hurry before the next shiny thing comes out.
I think they did that right up until September 11th. I got my tour on a flight with the family out to California, although that was about 15-20 years ago too, damn I'm getting old.
And please don't repeat nonsense about going someplace else, before the indoor bans there WAS no other place.
That's because the culture surrounding smoking changed. A large part of the population smoked and you didn't want to lose that business, there wasn't a need, niche, or demand for non-smoking only. Michigan doesn't have state-wide bans on smoking (yet) but there are plenty of smoking and non-smoking areas to eat. What needed to happen was for the government to let the market innovate NEW non-smoking restaurants, so that it was marketable. Bars are still smoky, but after being in a non-smoking bar in Nebraska I think there would be a market here for it ALONG SIDE smoking bars. If only I had the funds... Stop making it so hard for smokers to smoke. THEY PAY THE EXCISE TAXES I DON'T WANT TO PAY!
Unfortunately I don't see this knee jerk society changing anytime soon. It's never about evidence, it's about entertainment and emotional appeal. And you're not going to take that out of children and cancer.
You should check out the BBC series: A Rough History of Disbelief it really grounded me to the thought that you don't NEED a label. Just like people who don't believe in ghosts or UFOs NEED a label. You can plug the name into any flash video site of your choosing and you can probably find the whole three part series as well as the appendices.
The roads are responsive to supply and demand, just not in terms of cash. There are limited supplies of road space at certain points in the day because of demand, you pay for it in commute time. This is would be an attempt to transfer how you can pay for it.
It would be all well and good if the money would then make better roads or better mass transit, but money eventually goes to, for the most part, the upkeep of the toll booths and 'fact finding expeditions' or whatever the kids are calling it these days. I also have my doubts at how effective it would be like a previous poster stated. Given that, personally I'd rather just stick to paying out my ass in commute time if I get up late.

I would argue that the burden would lie on ACME Electric to make sure they can get, at the very least, accountability from Plinko that their phones are capable of being mission critical equipment. Otherwise, why should Plinko invest in creating mission critical phones if all they are going to be used for is to discuss Britney Spears?
Should geeks really start shooting themselves in the foot over this? Should we really be screaming out: "Please fine me, jail me, and fire me because I wasn't writing code with the aid of a crystal ball"?
That's why we have these protections, so we aren't at fault when someone decided to go beyond the scope and requirements with the tool we created.
And someone else missed the point as well, awesome.
How about you read the first part and the last part of my reply over again, since I can't be mildly interested on slashdot about someone else's point.
So you have a beef with the American press and you bring out a hot spot bullet point... big deal. ... Show the Peruvian journalists that have died for their stories, put up the proof about how great their journalism is.
Yeah, google it, it was the first thing I did artard. But reading over page one of google doesn't instantly make one go "Wow! That is irrefutably correct!". And what source links do you give me? ACLU? Hardly an unbiased source, but proof, that journalism does work in America. Why? Because we're talking about it now douch-fag! And Reporters without borders? Yeah, they're REAL repressed here. Oh hey look at that nice shade of Orange Peru is in, while its slightly greener then the US, wow. Yep, real freedom of press there (yes, the shades of blue in other countries did not escape me, but that isn't the main argument now is it?).
Why don't you go over my argument again and look where I stated that I was only talking about mainstream press, not the countless independent papers still in circulation out there, without even counting blogs. Yeah, I'll wait here.

Git and Mercurial are more popular than Subversion? That's the big news to me, with all snarkyness aside. I best be getting out of my bubble.
Probably as soon as all the patents held by trolls in Texas run their litigious course. See you in thirty years!

I worked at a gun range for a few years (where every clay pigeon I saw saw was brightly colored hunter orange with black on the bottom, btw).
Trust me, there is definitely something sexual about men shooting off their multi-thousand dollar guns for 4 hours a day, every day.
