This reminds me of a recent product recall by Black and Decker.

They had a rechargeable cordless drill with a trade name of "FireStorm".

The name was prophetic, as they had to be recalled due to the battery
charger occasionally catching on fire.

Subject: RE: Sun's Opteron leaks?


The article says EMC, but this sounds a lot like safety to me.  Not a
good problem to have for a product called "Fire":

"Sun's v20z system with the Opteron Model 248 processor apparently runs
too hot to meet some regional regulations ..."

"The Sun Fire V20z server *is* available with Solaris x86..."

...regional regulations...? What about harmonization?
...EMEA...? What's that?
