Isn't cooling the room vs cooling the server a bit like trying to solve our energy problms by drilling for oil in Alaska vs spending $400 billion a year securing our oil interests in the middle east. Neither one is a good long term solution, while reducing our consumption helps the whole problem go away.
Perhaps the same argument applies to servers. If they are more efficient and throw out less heat, then it is much easier to deal with any heat that is produced.
I looked up my house - the satelite imagery is a full block off. Although I live in California, I don't remember a recent earthquake that moved things around quite that much.
Got my PhD in 2002. I called the hotline at Berkeley and my name was on the laptop.
Ahhh - the benefits of a Berkeley PhD.

Who needs a page file when you have a 10.00 GHz AMD Athlon, a 2000 MB DIMM, and a 30000 GB IDE Hard Disk http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000 22ACYK
I quote from a review:
"I was a little skeptical at first on how this thing would perform. However, when I installed and run the Seti@home program it started instantly finding alien signals, which where corrected, cleaned up and translated.
I am now listening and talking to the supreme galactic defense minister about Earths surrender. Apparently this computer is not only tapping into the sun for power but also into the mysterious dark energy and tearing the universe apart. Just comes to show how bugs always show up in technology when you least expect it."
From a comment posted below the article: "Arthur C. Clarke had it right --- spheres with tentacles; _that_ is the ultimate in agility and mobility, for robotic design. Plus, such units can easily link together to form a much greater whole, if required --- they could perform nearly *any* engineering, construction, or transportation task."
How about this quote http://www.president.harvard.edu/speeches/2005/nbe r.html from what he said:
"So my best guess, to provoke you, of what's behind all of this is that the largest phenomenon, by far, is the general clash between people's legitimate family desires and employers' current desire for high power and high intensity, that in the special case of science and engineering, there are issues of intrinsic aptitude, and particularly of the variability of aptitude, and that those considerations are reinforced by what are in fact lesser factors involving socialization and continuing discrimination."
Yah -
Like the PI (Principal Investigator) in a lab ever actually does any of the work. They are much too busy going to meetings and writing grants and papers.
If you read the actual article, you will find that:
- The research was performed in Arabidopsis, which behaves as a diploid
- There are no other copies of the hothead gene which could have corrected the mutant copies
There is something more complicated going on here
Funny how this story only quotes Dr. (Bob) Pruitt. Most of this work was done by the first author Dr. (Susan) Lolle. The other two authors apart from Bob are both female. In the actual Nature article, this is reflected in the authorship credits. All of the comments in the NYT writeup are from male scientists.
Why does the male scientist get nearly all the credit here? On the heels of Dr. Summers' (Harvard) comments that women are inherently less able to succeed as scientists, you would think the NYT would report this big story more carefully and give credit where credit is due.

Lots of good gadgets you could get for $30K
