Interesting article concerning server electricity consumption problems and the disturbing trends. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader about whether there's already an actual solution to these problems. I think the solution has been around for at least 10 years, in fact, and it has something to do with CMOS, IBM, and three levels of virtualization, although I can't quite figure it out. :-) Regarding the meeting mentioned in paragraph one, isn't that a bit like going to OPEC to try to solve severe dependency on imported oil? :-) - - - - - Timothy F.
