GSM Association Slams Euro Call For Ban On Wireless In School 271
jhernik writes "The ongoing debate over the supposed dangers posed by mobile phone usage and wireless signals has exploded once again. An influential European committee has called for a ban on mobile phones and Wi-Fi networks in schools – the GSM Association has denounced the report as an 'unbalanced political assessment, not a scientific report.' The report made its recommendation to reduce mobile and wireless use in schools, despite admitting that there is a lack of clear scientific and clinical proof. However, it said the lack of proof was reason enough to restrict use, just in case, comparing mobile phone radiation to other things whose dangers were once unknown, such as asbestos, leaded petrol and tobacco."

Our oil was much colder: we were using the cooling element from an old refrigerator (we planned on overclocking that old 386

Are you sure about the density? According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_oil the density of mineral oil is 0.8g/cm3 while that of water is 1gg/cm3.

Comment condensation problems... (Score 2) 213
When I experimented with mineral oil based cooling, the main issue I had were water droplets condensing on the surface of the cold mineral oil and then promptly sinking... towards the motherboard sitting in the bottom of the old aquarium I was using as a case. Of course there were solutions to this problem but it was a quick and dirty (you can take that dirty word quite literally) test back when I was a student, so we gave up on the idea pretty quickly.
I wonder how they have managed to solved the condensation problem.

"Here’s the kicker: if you calculate back the score that they assumed for Opera to score in Galactic, Opera scores very poorly: 26.00 Watts. It seems a little suspicious that Opera gets exactly (11.290 / 7.704) * 17.742 = 26.00 on a test that doesn’t even run" http://wwwery.com/13070-browser-battery-consumption.html">link
