When I shut down my computers in my workroom there is an strange silence. It’s nice but feels strange since there is usually the whir of computer fans in the background. I have often though it would be nice to locate the computers remotely and simply have a monitor, keyboard and mouse in the room for each system. This passive cooling idea is interesting but you will never see this in an inexpensive off the shelf system since it would increase the cost tremendously. A small heat sink with a high speed fan is a much lighter and cheaper method of removing the heat from our modern heat producing systems.

"When designing passive cooling, first thing you have to have is lots of surface area to dissipate the heat that a modern computer produces. The second thing to take into account is the airflow. Without fans, the airflow rests solely on convection that is a very low force. This means that the places the air must go, must be open, and clear of obstacles. Convection means that hot air goes up. This would suggest that the heatsinks are lined vertically. This in turn, suggests that the case be modeled like a tower."

Video: Liberty City's Explicit Website Consequences

9:43 AM - Adriaan - 2 Comments

Earlier this week, we posted an article and video about using the mobile phone's camera in strip clubs. The same reader who initially e-mailed in about this, encouraging us to make a video about it, contacted us about another interesting thing, which coincidentally ties in with the whole "pervert" thing. This time it won't just be security guards coming after you, but the LCPD.



Accessible from the game's fictional internet service is a website with the URL www.littlelacysurprisepageant.com. Eyefind.info's description of it is a "website for child beauty pageants". But the website doesn't seem to be all that innocent, as you're greeted with a splash page set up by the LCPD after they had shut it down.






The message reads: "This website for child beauty pageants has been shut down. Your IP address has been cataloged and an investigator will be contacting you soon." Instantaneously, you'll get a 5-star wanted level and you'll hear an APB going out by the LCPD that says: "Units please respond, we have a sexual deviant attempting to access explicit images."



I asked fellow staff member Jordan to create a video showing just this, which you can download over here. Let us know if you know about something that you think should be featured on the website. Special thanks to Robert for e-mailing in about this!
