Thats funny..... but at least this isn't goatse

It doesn't it goes to DNF High Definition Video

SPec release of said computers can be found here

I own one of these and benchmark test to show for it

Yes it is finally being released and it has been confirmed all over the web

Duke Nukem Forever has been ANNOUNCED!!!!!

This is the fohootville loser again.

Incidentally, since tinyurl seems to exclusively used for goatse and myminicity, you should set preview. It sets a cookie so it's persistent.

A long thin wire will require more heat to get to the required temperature for incandescence. If you coil it up, the heat gets trapped, allowing a bit better efficiency. Let me guess; you think modern light bulbs work in a hard vacuum too...

It's really too bad I can't find that excellent PDF that explained how light bulbs work, one of the points was that modern bulbs work with a nitrogen filled envelope and that the filament is the way it is because of many reasons, one of them being the trapping heat thing. Other points included recovery of boiled off tungsten, etc.

I couldn't find my PDF, but perhaps this will convince you: http://invsee.asu.edu/nmodules/lightbulbmod/burnout.html

And I quote :

"The wire is then wound into spirals and double spirals to allow the filament to more efficiently maintain the high temperatures needed. The spiral shape minimizes the convective cooling of the filament by the inert gas in the bulb."

"What is heat if it is not the primary emission of the *heater* filament in your book then ?"

I'm not getting you here. You previously claimed that "secondary emission" is how indirectly cathodes work, this is untrue. That is not what "secondary emission" means. Indirectly heated means it's heated indirectly. I don't know how to be clearer. Perhaps this will help, if we were in space and didn't need the glass envelope, a suitable gas torch could heat up the cathode and it would emit electrons. It would emit them because it is hot, not because of secondary emission from the now non-existent filament.

"filament being wound doubly"

It's not wound, what is your obsession with a tiny minority of specialty triodes and power tubes? The filament is a wire with some insulation, folded over itself a few times. I've cracked open enough tubes to know that. Would like a copy of my Electron Tube Manufacturing Techniques book or what? Do I need to crack open every tube in my vintage Tektronix scope and mail them to you? You won't find a single spiral-wound filament in there. Err, except maybe the CRT. I won't crack that tube open for anyone... And the filament won't emit any electrons, and the cathode won't work by secondary emission.

What do you want? Pictures of a busted 6080? And even if for some reason all the filaments are spiral wound in my scope, it's still not the filaments that emit the electrons, which is how this whole thing started. They just don't glow hot enough in modern "dark cathode" tubes.

Just because I love you, I just went through the trouble of trying to take a picture of a RCA 6AU5 I happen to have lying around. http://tinyurl.com/2ej2og

I trust you can see with thine own eyes the folded bit of wire coated with a bit of insulation that has cracked away from the kinks? That is the filament. It gets red hot. It indirectly heats the cathode. Which emits electrons because it is hot. Not because of secondary emission.

"grid starts emitting electrodes"

That would be awesome.

"and with that I'm off to bed"

Please I urge you, you seem smart but are mysteriously stuck with many misconceptions. Perhaps you are self-taught. Commendable, but it's never OK to just assume what you know is gospel truth; investigate and keep learning, always be ready to discard notions proven wrong.

If you're asking whether the movies were depicting things based on real events or fiction, it's mostly the latter. Our only major criterion for inclusion was that the scenes show violence that could theoretically happen in real life -- i.e. shooting, stabbing, etc. but no Alien v Predator or anything like that. We verified that having seen any of the clips before, i.e. in the subject's own movie-viewing life, did not have a confounding effect on the variables of interest. You can see screenshots from all of the movies we showed our subjects at the following link: http://tinyurl.com/28fc3d

Here's the text:

VATICAN --

Reports coming in from all over the globe are confirming it as true.
Zombies posting from "delphi.com" are taking over Usenet and are start-
ing to get a firm grip on the Internet proper.

These "posters" are filling up available bandwidth with rehashed arguments,
flames, extraneous punctuation, inability to quote, and bad sentance struc-
tures. They are unstopable short of putting "delphi.com" in ones kill file.

It is belived that Delphi corp. is unaware of their users actions and that
the actions themselves are caused by some lone hacker sending subliminal
messages to users at Delphi.com. Such as:

                Hbi, Chris55!

                                Heow are ysou? I'tm, fiune, so farp. Whein cand I see
                you again?

Users everywhere should be aware that this could start happening at
any site.

A suggested course of action is:

                Do NOT put "delphi.com" in your killfile -- there may be some
                intelligence left at delphi and we need to rescue it if we can,
                killfileing "delphi.com" would also encourage the hacker to in-
                filtrate another site.

                Do NOT reply to dumb Delphi zombie posts. This only wastes
                more bandwidth on the same crap that was posted origionaly.

                DO reply to any posts from Delphi that have actual informational
                content. This would exclude any posts containing "!!!1", "......",
                "d00d!", "u st00pid", "get a job", "l8r", "l8er", etc, ad. nausium.

Dear Microsoft,
 
    I sincerely hope you will correct this list of errors.

I heard from another source that this just isn't the case. I think it's just mass hysteria.

I was looking at these starter kits just earlier today. Unfortunately my son is a little too young at the moment!

because i will only say this once. Take heed.

The "marginal minority" would be those who know that
Facebook was bought out early on by a group of CIA &
DARPA financiers with a decidedly NeoCon ideological
committment. Ah-yup, Total Information Awareness (first
renamed "Terrorist Information Awareness", then dragged
out of sight under TS cover) is alive and well, and
Facebook is one of its major data harvesting assets.

The arrogance of Facebook's position reflects the arrogance
of its owners - themselves a gang of criminals who hate
American freedoms and work dilligently, day in and day
out, to put a final end to them.

To whom it may concern:

I have been a faithful user of Google for several years now. I'm proud to support a company that offers great products (search, email, calendars, photo management, videos, etc.) while remaining consumer friendly. I especially appreciate Google's efforts to "not be evil" when asked by the U.S. Government to hand over searches performed by Google's users.

It is for these reasons that I daily attempt to switch people from less consumer friendly web services like Yahoo or AOL. I warn friends and family that Yahoo has given information to the Chinese government that was used to imprison at least three Chinese journalists (Shi Tao, Li Zhi, and Jiang Lijun), while AOL released to the public every search term made on their site as well as a personally identifiable user number. Thank you, Google, for standing up for free speech and user rights.

I am, however, quite disappointed in Google today. This morning, when I logged in to my Google Homepage, I was greeted by a story on Slashdot discussing the recent YouTube banning of Egyptian blogger and free speech/anti-torture activist Wael Abbas. I realize that Abbas's videos demonstrating police brutality and torture may have been somewhat graphic and against YouTube's Terms of Service, but American users regularly post videos of people being TASERed or getting in fights. If something is indeed graphic, it is normally tagged as "mature" and still allowed to remain on YouTube.

So I ask you, Google, why are you suddenly censoring videos that were used to fight police brutality? What happened to your motto "Don't Be Evil"? Why do you stand up for the rights of Americans, yet censor free speech in other countries?

Thank you for your time. I eagerly await your response (email is fine).

The danger of being discovered by a criminal because of this Verizon alarm is really disturbing. I would want out of my Verizon contract or , use the Casio only after using my GLOCK so as not to endanger myself. Then tell the police, " I had no choice, I had to shoot the suspect. If I would have called 911 first, it would be me in the body bag ". A few of those incidents and I'll bet Verizon fixes the problem. Cheers
