Don Imus and the rest of America

This issue should be one of simply not being tolerated, but as with most things these days, simple is seldom all encompassing.I would recommend everyone, including those that are screaming for the head of Don Imus, reading the following post by Michelle Malkin…Michelle Malkin: Imus vs. the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks Chart (language warning)Amen, Michelle!

There was an item posted on “Hardmac” yesterday about the Radeon X1900 XT video card possibly being too hot for the Mac Pro.Hardmac.com : Le “Macbidouille” in English:One of our readers has brought a problem to our attention that affects some Mac Pros equipped with a Radeon X1900 XT. After couple of months of intensive 3D use, the cooling system installed on the Radeon X1900 XT loses efficiency, the card then overheats and the user sees video artifacts and even complete freezes of the system.Hardmac mentioned in their post a couple of possible temporary solutions including changing the orientation of one of the Mac Pro fans to changing the PCI stage fan speed.I recently upgraded my Mac Pro to the X1900 XT card and I replaced the heat sink and cooling fan assembly before even installing the card…. It also features a solid copper base with duel heat pipes, a larger fan and is much quieter then stock.On some of these unit it’s been reported that the bottom of the copper heat sink is rough and should be polished before installing.
