>> I touched on the fact that I think energy conservation is another big global trend that's affecting us today. And that also ties in with the analysis piece, because our customers want to analyze their buildings or devices to see what the energy consumption is going to look like before they build it. But internally it affects us as well, so we're certainly thinking about how we choose vendors. We like to choose vendors who have the same sort of social responsibility that we do and that are doing things in a green way. And it affects things like how we manage our data centers. One idea that has been occurring to me lately is the idea we need as an industry hot computing. I think computers today have been designed for operating in an environment, the same environment that the human operators operate in. But, the reality is that that's not what they need to be designed for. They need to be designed for the worst case scenario in the data center, because that's increasingly where the computers are going, the heavy inaudible ones, anyway. And you've got to worry about what's happening to that server that's in the top shelf of the cabinet in the data center after you've had a power outage and before the generators have had time to spin up. And that computer can get, you know, up to 15 or 20 degrees higher in ambient temperature during that outage time. And so that's what the computer needs to be designed for is that temperature, that 20 degrees higher then ambient temperature. And if we can increase that level then we could run our data centers all hotter and dramatically reduce the energy consumption. Because cooling a data center is actually, I think the last statistic I heard might have been 60 percent of the power cost of running the data center.
