  1. Re:Economizers not always usable on Data Centers Push Back On US Efficiency Rules · · Score: 1

    you will be bringing in some outside air anyways. As a data center is considered an occupied space, it needs to meet the minimum outside air requirements. The economizer just by passes any sort of heat exchanger. so if your OA is cooler than your RA you open the economizer. even if you need to cool it farther, at least you didn't warm it up.

    You know of a data center that is 100% recirculated air? better not have people in it then.

    take for example a password like '4ey3ts' now, lets say that i have rolling password updates, so i hash in the month that it changed as follows. '4ey3ts' + 'M2rc4"(march), so i get a password of '4ey3tsM2rc4', then in april, '4ey3tsApr17'. you could do this the other way as well, 'M2rc44ey3ts'

    they do, it's called off ramps and places at them. At least here in the St. Paul MN, there are exits from the freeways in town every 1/2 mile or so, almost every one has a gas station or fast food place with a parking lot for you to make your call at. In the rural areas there is less of an issue for other drivers, at least on the interstate system, on the highway system is just dangerous anyways, traffic going in opposite directions at 60 MPH, with nothing but a line of paint to stop them from crossing it. Also most of the highway system as nothing to prevent animals from entering it. Ever seen what a moose will do to even your largest of SUVs, or even an 18 wheeler

    They have, they fall under the "distracted driving" laws here in the states. Also if you feel that you should be allowed to do much of anything else while operating you multi ton vehicle, you sure need to have your license revoked. Set up pandora etc before leaving "park"(quoted for those that actually drive manual transmissions here in the states). Learn to navigate from memory. To be honest, if you hit me and i even thought that you were doing anything on your list or similar i would be looking for the maximum judgement i could get out of you and your insurance company. That includes talks with law enforcement that it was an unintentional attempt on my life(attempted manslaughter i think it would be). That goes for those in lifted trucks as well.

    If it was only 30 seconds every drive then fine, but it's 30 seconds every few minutes. At 60 MPH, 8.8 feet per second, 528 feet per minute, you will go 264 feet in 30 seconds, thats damn near a football field(300 feet + end zones). How is that safe? I mean *NOTHING* could happen in those 264 feet that you were not expecting when you looked away~

    no, the recoil force must be the same, but there are a fair number of guns out there that do not direct all of the force backwards, and almost anything mounted will provide a lot more force than the shooter feels.
