I mean.. imagine Flatland made into a 3D movie.. what's the *point*?

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Dolph Lundgren... might have really changed the fight...

Sorry about the mixup.

Good examples of very bad Sci Fi.

I'm sorry, but am I the only one hoping that Disney chooses to remake these? You know, with a good story?

Agreed. I think Samsung is only wanting to increase prices for customers buying in quantities of 250,000 or larger. However, I hear that Apple is more open to the idea of increasing prices for quantities of 1,000,000 or larger. Gridlock....

Apple wins again. Apple is even considering repairing the bite mark in their logo. Apple 1 : Legal 0

If paypal we're regulated like a bank, I'd get charged $10 a month for NOT using it.

Well.. yes and no. Can you build servers that can take the heat? Sure. But that's not what most datacenters have. Sure, processors and maybe (and it's a big maybe) memory can take the heat... but in general, those 15K rpm disk drives are not going to like the extra heat. They have enough problems dissapating heat currently.

So.. possible, sure. But it does require some extra work. Your off the shelf HP, Dell or IBM, I wouldn't recommend it.

You do lower the life span of the equipment by placing it under enormous heat stress.. life could be reduced by several years if assuming a 10 year lifespan. If you have a 5 year life cycle, you may have to consider a 4 year life cycle. And even then, I'd avoid the 15K rpm drives and other things that aren't cooled very well (e.g. gobs of memory and even chipsets on some designs). That passive heat sink on your fibre channel card and/or 10Gbit ethernet... probably not going to cut it anymore... so that's also changes you'd have to make... there are many.

Again, you CAN do it.. but design has to be done... it's done with intent, not through random experimentation (unless you have money to burn).

I used to remember a time when it was the Republican that were trying to legislate behavior (morality). Now it's time for the Democrats to do this apparently.

Regulation about light bulb standards is certainly a thing that can be done, but wouldn't it be nice if people chose the "right" light bulb because it's "right" and not because they were forced to choose the "right" one? (and why are the Democrats so interested in "right"?... always thought they leaned left...)

The ban is really about child obesity and preventing further use of the Easy Bake Oven.

Exec: There's a lot of less than perfect reviews of the Kindle Fire. Any ideas?

I have no doubt about climate change... shoot, just wait about 6 months.. it will much cooler (you'll see).

No. There is nothing to see here.

Corporate network... it doesn't belong to you. They can do whatever they want. Corporations do have to follow some laws... but you are using their network... people need to remember that. Even so.. even if you had your "own" network to go through, realize that the Internet as a whole is a trusted network. It really doesn't support true privacy.... though there are many ways to try to protect your traffic.
