There are times when I hate being right

I'm starting to wonder if the HVAC guys that did our new system at home didn't take the old air conditioner and install it on this office building.

80° and climbing in my office. Should have eaten a lighter lunch.

Um...

Seriously...

Ambient temperature of that level means computers puke before YOU do.

The temperature inside the boxes (not in a climate controlled environment) will be surpassing 140 if the air around your ears is 80.

Hardware failure (both inconvenient and potentially coslty) are right around the corner.

If they cannot lower the ambient temperature, then all PC's/Workstations in said ambient temperature are in immediate peril and should be sut down until an acceptible temperature is reached.

Seriously.

I'm gonna get the bossman to spring for an AC unit for my office. We've already got one in what is now the server room, formerly my office, and he offered the other day so I may just take him up on it.

Pardon me but isn't the White Star Line the company that built the Titanic?

Titanic was commissioned by the White Star Line, and was designed and built by Harland & Wolff at their shipyards in Belfast, Ireland. She and her two sister ships (the Olympic and Brittanic) were specifically meant to compete with Cunard's Mauritania for trans-Atlantic shipping.

Yes, that is indeed the reference.
