  1. Re:Missing info on Deprecating the Datacenter? · · Score: 1

    I was kinda tongue in cheek there.

    But would not need to heat the water ( and
    who says it has to be water... ) to 100 C
    if the pressure were reduced. And now that
    I am thinking on it, dont some dissimiliar
    metals produce current in the presence of
    heat? I keep thinking piezoelectric, but
    I know that is not it. Bimetallic junctions?

    And I would hope that they would keep the
    live steam away from the operators.

    Brings a new meaning to BOFH, eh?

    And, my parting shot of sillyness:

    If you cant stand the heat, keep out of the datacenter.

    No, the datacenter will be alive and well, here is why.

    Chips are running faster and faster and hotter and hotter.

    Right now, there is not enough heat to produce steam. Soon there
    will be.

    Soon, we will be using the heat of the chips to produce steam to
    generate electricity to produce part of the electricity to run
    the datacenter.

    This will only work well when the equipment density is high,
    therefore, we will continue to have datacenters.

    Good point.

    I suppose one would have to do a study on the issue.

    If 95% will not reoffend, then clearly ( unless our goal is vengance )
    we should not execute.

    I intended my point a bit different than you seem to have taken it.
    And I think I took yours differently than you meant it.

    The point was to have been that whatever sentencing they are doing
    for murderers seems to be working, if the reoffence rate is 5%.
    So, it seems to be working. Locking them up for longer is probably
    not warranted, was my point ( unless it be proved that longer sentences
    drive that percentage lower, and the false positive rate is also
    very low ).

    Conversly, if the number is correct, 95% wont reoffend,
    clearly, we should keep them all locked up?

  11. Re:So... on Microsoft Piracy Plan Means Concerns for IT · · Score: 1

    Of course you need to make sure it is working correctly.

    And it does make sense to log into the system, but if it
    is a server, and the services running on it are responding
    as expected, one might ( unwisely ) decide it is working
    without logging onto the machine directly. Especially
    if the issue was something that affected other machines,
    and they all need to be brought back to life.

    Why would anyone vote, if they had to wonder about the results?

    Apathy is a real issue, but why allow "why vote, my vote will not
    be tallied as I want it tallied anyway" to the many reasons people
    come up with for not voting?

    Ah, inside the room.

    Never went inside the room.

    I heard that a doctor had a patient who had an aluminum
    pin in their arm. Doc decided it was OK, since it was
    the iron things that were attracted to the magnet.
    Supposedly, the pin cooked the flesh around it, as it
    got hot due to induced currents from the moving field.
    Might have been one of those "dont let this happen to
    you" kind of tails, or maybe even nothing at all.
