  7. No Kidding on Sun May Be Warming Both Earth and Mars · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Global warming is caused by Man, what a load of crap. Put this in your pipe and smoke it Al Gore, you fucking opportunistic slime bag. He has no political legs, so he latches on to Global Warming, something he knows absolutely nothing about, oh yeah, he invented the Internet, I forgot about that one. It scares the fuck out of me that people like this have any power whatsoever. All Politicians suck big ones.

    Thanks Rick , I see these all over Dallas TX. Thank you again for keeping my favorite websites from going down in the middle of a purchase or entertainment. The only time this reliability could be a problem is when they are printing my credit card bill.

    I agree, and am willing to rent my PC time to anyone that will pay for it, any takers? No? darn SETI would not pay me either.

  17. Re:Why not just buy used generators on Generator Delays May Slow Data Center Projects · · Score: 1

    Yeah, try to get any General Contractor to sign off on used equipment for an IBM or Cisco, TI job, suicide. If it isnt't new direct from the factory it will never make it to the jobsite, great idea but would never be practical for corporate control freaks running these companies.

  18. Re:Aren't we supposed to be getting _more_ efficie on Generator Delays May Slow Data Center Projects · · Score: 1

    You think? Kinda like the logic that with the invention of the computer we would be using less paper products, sounds good in theory, but reality is that the use of paper has increased dramatically because of computers. The more powerful processors become the more power they require. Yes we are more efficient but we are also doing more and more, and demanding more and more everyday, growing our economy. The U.S. Economy has grown 20% in the last 4 years, doesn't sound like much? That 20% is equal to China's entire economy. It is the same problem with getting off foreign oil, never going to happen, unless someone discovers a way to bypass known physics. Enjoy the ride America.

  19. Re:There is a stopgap measure for this on Generator Delays May Slow Data Center Projects · · Score: 1

    But this would cause a hamster food shortage, back to square one. Sysadmins & continuous physical work, too funny.

  20. Re:DC power? on Generator Delays May Slow Data Center Projects · · Score: 1

    Battery backup is for instantaneous (milliseconds or less) switchover when the power fails, this gives the generators time to fire up and come online, to simply rely on battery backup for extended time periods is impractical at best, due to the number of batteries that would be required.

    Keep those "Trusted" people busy doing their job and they will have no time to read others Email, Hell I hardly have the time to read my own.

  22. Follow the Money on California Sues Automakers for Global Warming · · Score: 1

    What a bunch of BS, all the parties involved in the lawsuit should be sued first, for their part in global warming. How much pollution is going to be generated by this lawsuit, go calculate that one! I suggest the carmakers stop selling their product in California, until this suit is dismissed or settled, would not want to do any more damage now would we, it is all about money, money that California needs due to their incompetence in running the Califoria budget. This is becomming a favorable way to solve budget problems in the USA, hey just sue somebody to solve your own self made problems. It is always sold to the people as a good thing that is going to solve some kind of problem, remember the Tobacco suits, where did all that Money go? It is just another Money grab, Fucking Lawyers! And as far as global warming goes it is a well known fact that the known solar system we live in is warming, not just our little fucked up Planet Earth, Global Warming is just another Sales pitch for Politicians to grab Power and Money.Democrats, Republican's, Two Horns on the Same BULL. Humans love to take sides instead of thinking for themselves.

  25. Use a Hard Drive on It's 2006 and Backups For Home User Still Tricky? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Use a hard drive, using burnt discs is just silly,you need to verify the burn, they get scratched, crack ect...
    Microsoft has a free backup utility called Synctoy v1.2 It works better than any other sync/backup software I have ever used for home use. Bust out the wallet and get an external harddrive (usually comes with backup software) or build one yourself even cheaper. Using Disks for backup is just a bad idea.
