  1. Power? Heat? on NVIDIA and Dell Display Quad-SLI System · · Score: 1

    Currently, a 7800GTX-512 made by BFG requires a minimum 400-watt power supply, with a 12v rail rating of 26 amps, to run stable.

    One of these cards tends to run from 40-50 degrees Celsius at idle, and 60-75 under load.

    What these people suggest to do...is put four of the damn things in one place? So, what are we talking about here? Triple power supplies? Ten 8,000rpm, 200mm fans? Because I really don't see any other way around it.

    In the RSS feed, all you get for the subject (or title) is "Makers." The link to the story is not http://books.slashdot..../ but instead, http://rss.slashdot.../

    So, no. It's not our failing.

    It'll be 2006. Midterm elections are next November.

    And then, in 2008, we'll have another presidential campaign.

    What the hell is it that you think is in 2007?

  7. Re:*Not* policy, just a guideline on Wikipedia Founder Edits Own Bio · · Score: 1

    And, of course, the main goal of that guideline is to prevent high-school nobodies from writing pages about themselves.

    There are a wide variety of pages about people who also have Wikipedia accounts. In fact, there's even a template, which goes something like, "This page is about a person who has a Wikipedia account under the username {{{1}}}...."

    I think that once notability has been established, such as in the case of Wales, it's acceptable to contribute to an article about yourself. After all, nobody knows more about you than yourself.

  12. Re:I have a ULI-based motherboard... on Nvidia to Buy ULI Electronics · · Score: 1

    Seems somewhat similar, perhaps, to nVidia 's current product. An nForce3 board I just bought (an MSI) supports something called "AGR" or "Advanced Graphics Riser." It's really just an AGP slot that only supports certain compatible AGP cards. However, its main graphics system is, of course, a PCI-e x16 lane.

    It's really great for people making the transition from AGP to PCI-e. Of course, that's not an issue for me, because with this board I purchased an XFX 7800GTX.

  15. Re:Best. Job. Ever. on Supreme Court Rejects Microsoft Eolas Appeal · · Score: 1

    Well, the Supreme Court isn't a congress. The United States Congress, however, is a congress. The United States Supreme Court is a court. Congress's only control over the court system is the confirmation of judges to various courts, and the ability to set up any courts lower than the Supreme Court.

    Unless, of course, you left out your comma, and meant to say that Congress has the right to judicial review. In which case, you would be wrong. Article III of the United States Constitution strictly grants all judicial powers to the Supreme Court of the United States. And if you think that the power of Review has never been used, well, you need to brush up on your history.

    They are concealing their potentially-infected poultry from those who are trying to control a potential pandemic. Obviously, there's something not in-tune with them.

    It's also rather absurd of you to compare a relatively, mildly bothersome computer worm, to a virus pandemic with a death toll that could number in the millions. If I had reason to believe that my computer had that power, I'd microwave the motherboard myself.

    I have a much better idea. How about, the farmers hand over the chickens...and people don't die from it? Sounds much better and easier to me.
