  1. But there are risks on Corsair Demos Easy Watercooling PC Rig · · Score: 2, Informative

    Watercooling in a rackmount solution, especially one which may me mission critical, would be fairly risky. Failure of the watercooling system would result in loss of the server and possibly loss of other servers.

    I think rackmounts will be fine with aircooling for the time being :) At least there's less risk.

  2. Advertising for hexus? on Corsair Demos Easy Watercooling PC Rig · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This may be slightly off topic, but I find the fact that hexus is trying to advertise their site somewhat problematic. It seems to be an increasing trend here at Slashdot, and I hope the editors can pick a new set of cue-cards and reject the advert/story hybrids.

    As for the story itself, meh. Its nothing new.

  3. whee! on Air Force Builds Quiet Mach 6 Wind Tunnel · · Score: 1

    Scramjets are one of the more interesting types of aircraft in research. I wouldn't mind seeing a link describing how it works :)

    (Watch it ed up as an unmanned payload delivery system -_-;;)

  4. hmm on 365 Nights of Skywatching · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Will the stars help prevent another massive hole from being discovered (not opened, discovered) in Windows?

    Ok I'll pass...

  5. Why not? on 360 Disc Scratching Serious Problem · · Score: 0, Redundant

    When Microsoft rushes something out the door (in this case, the XBox 360), there will be problems which inevitably show up. In any case, you have a warranty on it, and should Microsoft ever acknowledge that there is anything wrong with the game consoles, you can get a full repair/replacement :-)

    By the way:
    "I've spend $400 on that console and don't want to hear bad news about it."
    The perfect active indicitive would be "spent," not "spend."

  6. spot 18 on 2005 Good Year for Power Architecture · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "there is a very good chance that IBM may regain the coveted #18 spot on iSuppli's list this year!"

    Whats so special about spot 18?

  7. For the record on Orange Badge Culture At Microsoft · · Score: 5, Informative

  9. HDLoader! on Xbox 360 Kiosk Demo Spurs Hackers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well with the successes the hacking community has had lately, I wouldnt be surprised if we see an HD loader for the 360...

    I want HDLoader!

  10. nice on Linux Troubleshooting · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This book seems helpful for those who already got their feet wet in the linux seas, but what about for the ultimate linux n00b? I wouldnt mind reading a book which does a good job presenting linux to the absolute beginner.

  11. hmm on More 2005 Gaming Than You Really Want · · Score: 3, Interesting

    2005 gaming, but no mention of what may have been one of the biggest portable hits of the year? Mario Kart DS was very well formulated :D

    wait this just makes me a nintendo fanboy doesnt it? :P

  12. Re:As someone who has taken both... on Learning Java or C# as a Next Language? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    C# != MSJava;

    J# == MSJava;

  13. What about... on Cutting Through the Patent Thicket · · Score: 1

    What about software patents? I thought we all loved those :-s

    oh riiiiight, we arent multibillionaire software tycoons. Oh well. God bless capitalism.

  14. Smart move on HD DVD Player Delays in Japan · · Score: 1

    With hollywood, this was a good move...

    but then again, would hollywood win if all their movies were DRMed to the point where it breaks people's computers? Hell no. They wont have any customers! Thus, imho, bad move overall.

  15. Pfft! Whats next? on Intel to Develop Hardware Rootkit Detection · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Whats next? A hardware DRM scheme from Intel? *rolls eyes*

    Just get your son/daughter/niece/nephew/wife/girlfriend/uncle/au nt/mom/dad/secretary/prostitute/other-person an iPod nano/video for Christmas. It worked every year for me.

  18. Wow on Unpatched IE Flaw Extremely Critical · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Its so rare that most other things never see the light (or lack thereof) of this rating... I dont think firefox ever got an Extremely Critical rating for any of its bugs :P

  19. yea, but... on To Flush Or Not To Flush · · Score: 1

    If the system switches to a water based method once the filter "craps out," many people will become lazy and simply not buy the filter for it, citing the fact that its doing its job as is.

  20. A side note to this on To Flush Or Not To Flush · · Score: 1

    I think it was just under 100 years ago that we were using waterless urinals. Why is it that we need to patent them now?

  21. Wow on Nokia Declares N-Gage A Failure · · Score: 3, Funny

    NGage a failure? What a surprise *rolls eyes*

    seriously though. It wouldnt have worked even if they tried. No game system is ever supposed to have a screen taller than it is wide, especially in first person shooters. no one's going to snipe you from the top. theyll all use a chainsaw on you from the side!

  22. XML? Meh on Podcasting Hacks · · Score: 1

    XML? Who uses it alone anymore? Its time for AJAX (spelled a j a x ), baby!

  23. DMCA Porn! on DMCA Abuse Widespread · · Score: 1

    Isnt the DMCA also used by porn reseller sites to tell you that you need to own the original DVD before you can download it from them in their disclaimer?

    It's never enforced, is it? :P

  24. Gibberish box on Cube Privacy Via Gibberish · · Score: 2, Funny

    I saw this on Good Morning America six months ago. This is definitely old news!
