> The second problem is suppliers that want to sell you something prepackaged in a rack that is not water cooled. Trying to explain to them that you don't want their shitty none water cooled rack is in my experience is like taking to a brick wall. Another reason why you probably still need air handling units. That said our doors are currently providing net cooling to the room, that is inlet temperature at the front of the rack is higher than the outlet temperature at the back.

What bloody suppliers?

Only a handful of companies sell products that include a actual rack and from my DC experience over the last decade, few companies buy those.

If you mean buy a massive group of blade servers? HP, Dell, or Supermicro really don't care what sort of rack they are going into... although Dell and HP would prefer to sell you their brand of cabs...

Actually Claws is a fork of Sylpheed. Sylpheed use to be named sylpheed-claws.

The Nvidia drivers are fine. We don't have the performance issues with them over here on FreeBSD that people on Linux do. Graphics have honestly been very consistently better and smoother on FreeBSD than Linux for the most part.

Silent HVAC? So basically a miracle then?

HVAC is a standard minor background noise for any modern urban setting. It is no noisier for a DC than it is any generic office building.

Speaking as some one who lives in Chicago and is familiar with the Pace buses... the system is fucking useless. It is the sort of bus system the re-enforces car usage as soon as one can afford to, they stop using it.

It was dropped as it has a single stacked mag and 9x19mm is standard for the rest of NATO a double stacked mag of it contains significantly more than a single or even double stacked mag of .45 ACP.

> They're big concerns with the 1911, too. Even a commander-style pistol is still plenty heavy. And the 1911 has extra stuff to go wrong, especially if you load it up with an extra safety as Kimber does (along with many others.)

Unless you are talking about Kimber or some other drek 1911 show piece, series 70 1911s are great. 1911s don't become unreliable till you get some one who wants something fancy and with out rattle.

> Well, they cited the issue of fitting the hands of smaller shooters, so in the modern day none of these firearms are really applicable. They should probably be looking at a SIG.

This honestly is a load of crap. I own one and a 1911, both of which can be handle by some one small and with small hands perfectly well. I thought my sister to shoot and she is like 100 pounds soaking wet and did not have a problem with either.

In fact for small hands the M9 is way better for the some one small hands than the 1911 given the location of the slide release. With out a extended slide release, the 1911 can be a bit awkward for some.

If they think a M9 is to large, they are really fucked when it comes to choosing any modern side arm, unless they want a small cartridge in a single stack magazine.

> H&K M&P .45, then. The trigger is considered to be not that great, but there are mods that improve it, so perhaps with a little revision it would make a nice piece. Three grip sizes, external extractor. However, they're going to want to stick with 9mm because of the cost consideration, and the modern style of never using one bullet when five will do.

Any major cartridge, .45 ACP/9x19mm/10mm Auto/.40 S&W, all work fine from everything I've read. You don't see an issue till you drop down to like .380 ACP.

I actually would not consider this ready for every day use. It does not even play nicely with what I have at home as the following are broken.

1: It can't handle multiple columns.
2: No real support for index work.
3: Can't create tables or modify number of columns/rows.
4: No header/footer support.
5: No footnote support.
6: Embedded images tend to overlap text.
7: The equation stuff is not supported.

That said this is still bad ass and I look forward to seeing how it progresses.

This is actually a very bad assumption. Lots of software start off with the major version being zero as zero indexing stuff is extremely common when it comes to programming and it only gets bumped when there is a non-backwards compatible change.

Dedicated v. shared ethernet is going to vary per model and some models actually don't support shared ethernet.

Also even when using shared, that is only a danger when a DHCP server is present and the machines are being admined by a idiot who does not know what they are using.

Blarg? People are using these as servers, not desktops. Given this X support is entirely irrelevant.

Not sure about else where, but here in Chicago cyclists treat it as giving them the right away. It is actually a very major problem when it comes to pedestrian traffic and vehicle traffic here. And that is IF they even bother to slow down instead of just blowing throw a red light or stop sight.

PulseAudio has nothing to do with the Bluetooth audio support. It is just a sound server and relies on either ALSA or OSS to talk to the hardware.

The problem with this becomes they are communist and with that comes the baggage of permanent revolution.

Irrelevant. One should not have to rely on a specific company on that, but it should be a well layed out mechanism that allows one to sync to a server of choice, allowing one to host it themselves instead of relying on third parties.
