[the fuzzy panda]

Mr. Panda does raise an interesting, yet tough choice.

And, Richie, nice post. I would only like to add that if it wasn't for the 90%, then Microsoft might not have the money they had to invest in Apple a few years ago to keep them afloat.

I've actually been thinking about locking this thread for a long time. But, the more I think about it, the more I think I shouldn't. This is a debate that will never end, so why end it prematurely? If people get tired of it, they'll stop watching it. Its fun to log in and check the new happenings on this thread, since no side can win.

An interview with Wallace Dangly, cooling engineer for the G5 project.

LS: Well, Wallace, I expect you're expecting to have a bunch of questions about the new design of the G5 using umpteen different fans to keep the interior cool.

WD: Um, yeah, well the G5 has nine fans....

LS: Nine?

WD: Yes. They're in separate compartments to conserve power. Seven of them are low-speed fans to keep noise to a minimum.

LS: Nine?

WD: Yes, we've established that....

LS: Nine? Nine fans? Any fans on those fans, Wallace?

WD: Huh?

LS: Well, you know, conservation of energy and everything. If you blow a fan, the heat from the motor actually warms the air. You have to put a fan on the fan motor to keep the fan motor cool.

WD: We just blow the warm air into the room.

LS: Uh-huh. Well, what's next for the G6?

WD: Pardon me?

LS: Obviously the G6 is going to be hotter than the G5. How are you going to cool it?

WD: We haven't even started speculating....

LS: Poor planning. Let me give you some ideas. How about a G6 with an attached fridge?

WD: Excuse me? I thought we were talking about the G5?

LS: Yesterday's news. See, if you attach a fridge to the CPU, you could put a little door on the front for beer or soda or push-ups or something. Right next to the USB port.

WD: We don't have any plans to include refrigeration....

LS: Then, for the G7, you could use liquid nitrogen. You could ship it in Dewars overnight through FedEx for like $10 for a bottle that lasts a week, and then....

WD: Listen, just who are you?

LS: I work for, uh, the government. Yeah. Homeland Security. I'd tell you more, but I'd have to kill you and Patriotize all of your relatives.

Sounds like the perfect cooler for Hawaiian punch!

Thanks man. It's been fun waging this little Jihad along side you and EMP and everyone else that took part. And about the locking, it's not that I feel the debate is over. Far from it. It just kinda upsets me that we've already attracted two ignorant people so far, and it worries me how many more may come.

Watching ignorant people is the fun part of the bashing forums, though! We also have an army of cool people to combat it.
