DonFundoshi: fucknows why they think these will cost $50k per ... looks to me like $10k each tops, and $5k for a back-yard size unit
DonFundoshi: I would pay that now for one in my own yard
DonFundoshi: then the power company can fricking pay ME for my connection
DonFundoshi:
DonFundoshi: stop telling me about the power shortage. there is no power shortage. there is a shortage of steel, and a shortage of welders.
DonFundoshi: now get to fucking work.

DonFundoshi: stop gloating
DonFundoshi: just cause the rest of us suffer under punitive quasi-dictatorial regimes informed by the fears of the mob and implemented by and for "consumers"
DonFundoshi: sheesh.
DonFundoshi: anyone would think you europeans invented the goddam intarweb.
DonFundoshi: re 'net neuter-ality': isn't TCP/IP supposed to "route around" obstacles? so what's the problem?
DonFundoshi: "During rush hour, 170 Gigabits of data per second -- the equivalent of over 30 compact disks -- travel through the exchange." OMG SOMEONE TELLS THE RIAA!!!

High-efficiency power supplies for home computers and servers.

coderman: "Most likely the computer you're using wastes 30-40% of the electrical power it consumes because it is using an inefficient power supply..."
DonFundoshi: aka 4 inch thick busbars for fun and profit
DonFundoshi: intel's suggestion is more sensible .. high voltage, but dc, so fewer conversions => greater efficiency
coderman: i run a mini-itx on a 500W power supply. the fan never comes on, and during a power flicker all my other boxes reboot, but this one is fine. (it can handle a few seconds of outage without a hiccup)
DonFundoshi: actually google's actual suggestion is sensible .. i mis-portrayed it because so many people misinterpreted it .. 12V single output voltage from the PSU would be sane, and 5V would prolly be saner, given the way stuff is going
DonFundoshi: put the intel suggestion and the google suggestion together ...

DonFundoshi: 'nother article here
DonFundoshi: "if you subdivide space into a whole load of equal volumes, what shape would the volumes be if you want to minimise the amount of material subdividing them"
DonFundoshi: "four layers of ETFE, each just 0.2mm thick. 'I think that every magazine article I?ve seen so far has said 2mm not 0.2, because people find 0.2mm unbelievable.'?
DonFundoshi: recyclable
DonFundoshi: the higher UV acceptance of EFTE wrt glass will enable the translucent structure will capture and transfer 90 percent of the solar energy for heating
DonFundoshi: erm i think it meant 90% of the energy needed for heating, from solar
DonFundoshi: at least i hope that would be .. maybe it is just 90% of solar energy gets in .. that would be a lot though, if the skin retains heat well
DonFundoshi: ETFE is sold as fluon by Asahi and as [|http://www2.dupont.com/Teflon_Industrial/en_US/tech_info/prodinfo_etfe.htmlTefzel] by DuPont
