Think of how much we'd save by not needing to reinforce the raised floors. Heck, we wouldn't even need raised floors, just some tie-downs. Mercury is even better. It's a nice round "8" and it's really easy to clean up when it spills, too. > >> Sources: >> http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/thermal-conductivity-d_429.html > > yeah - weird collection. salmon and silver; raw potato and portland > cement. > >> I went with the 3M Novec because it looked like "7000" was written on > > good spotting! > > thanks, mark. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
