I'm seeing that more and more. CoolerMaster's been doing that, and it actually seems to make things cooler, oddly enough. Of course, as their brand name implies they design the entire case with that in mind.

It is actually better for the PSU and the computer to be at the bottom.  Because the PSU is ingesting cooler air, it stays cooler itself.  This provides all sorts of benefits, including longevity and more even power conversion.  Second, if done properly, it creates an airflow across the bottom of the case that can help keep your disks cool.  However, if you do have the PSU at the bottom, you really should have a secondary fan at the top of the case as well, to keep the heat from pooling there.

My current production machine didn't have that when I bought it, and it was loud and ran hot. One $6 CoolerMaster fan (with the cool blue LEDs) later, it's cool and quiet!

Alan Aragon does it again. :)
To add against the paleo stuff, there's the fact that humans have done this thing called EVOLVING for the past 1/4 of a million or whatever years since the Paleo times.  The ability to digest cow milk being one of those things.  So even if Paleo diet advocates were correct about what humans ate during that time, it's still irrelevant.

And as Shane said in response to that "DRINKING MILK IS WHITE PRIVILEGE" super fail:
"Our ancestors did LOTS of mutating: lactose tolerance, CCR5-Δ32, extended color vision, HbC...and it's all while they were doing this little thing called 'evolving!'"

This is a damn good cover.
"The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be."

This is a great explanation of a particular the problem with the kalam cosmological argument in the face of modern physics.  I think I will use it in future classes because the natural reaction, as the comments to the video show, of apologetics is to counter with one of the other four causes, which I think would be a modified form of Aquinas's sustaining cosmological argument, in most cases.
