Server makers snub whalesong for serious windmill abuse

Car companies have the decency to prop sexy models on top of their gas-guzzling hardware to make it more appealing. The server set does not afford us the same courtesy.

Andrew! You're using comments? I assumed you were allergic to them based on the fact that none of your stories have comments enabled?

Ker-rist

A ridiculous way to poach green kudos.

What emblems are left for those in the energy sector to lace their glossy brochures and promo videos with, when sweeping vistas with Vestas become cliché?

Is it just me...

...or is the squirrel soliciting to that train? Filthy, filthy stuff. Nasty, nasty Reg. Shame on you.

Mine's the one with the codpiece on the back.
