Ground control to Major Tux: Space station dumps Windows, now uses Linux

There is no heat dissipation via convection without atmosphere.  

Nor did I imply there would be.

If you didn't, then you implied that laptops have radiators instead of heatsinks, which they clearly don't.

Nope. All I implied was that the mining rigs would be working via radiative cooling, and that they would need to be in the shade to do so effectively. You and 01BTC10 are the ones who assumed they would be using standard heatsinks, which, as you point out, make lousy radiators.

You further seem to assume that they would be using the Linux laptops as mining rigs. When was the last time you could profitably mine on a laptop?

If copy pasting part of the text was a faux pas on this forum, I refrain from doing this in the future. Some people do not like to click on external links posted on a thread and prefer reading the info withing it. I do both, linking the full article and pasting part of it if if it is a too long. The link is also proof of where I found the information and give credit to the original content creators.

Sorry if that was a problem on very small non smart phone screens.

My post was only meant as humor, referencing an inferior mobile device--TracFone--to further illustrate the problems Mt Gox supposedly has.

Got it.
