IBM To Repair Smoking Monitors
Rio writes "A local6.com story says IBM is recalling to repair 56,000 G51 and G51t computer monitors because the circuit board can overheat and smoke, posing a fire hazard. IBM has received several reports of monitors overheating and smoking, including one report of minor property damage, according to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Comission." And I thought all that smoke was just my mobo overheating.
smoke this!
Will we be seeing those lame "truth" ads lambasting IBM and their nicotine laced monitors? Oh wait...
Rasta Monitors Inc. has just announced the purchase of 56,000 monitors from IBM for their new Bong Monitor line.
My IBM monitors has burned last year, the fire has spread in my house, burning everything, including my wife and my 4-year son who were sleeping!
I'll never buy something from IBM until they refund ME!
down it suck, you must
Yet another story that serves little purpose than to blatantly promote the homosexualist agenda. The liberal jew media is hellbent on shoving these so-called "alternative lifestyles" down the public's throats. They would like you to believe that if you aren't gay you are not "hip", you are behind the times, you are missing out. This sexual solipsism has pervaded the farthest reaches of our society, and very few people seem to be willing to do anything about it. Even many branches of Christianity have no begun to accept this infernal practice as commonplace. I believe that it is our duty as the educated and moralistic public to stand up and say NO to the constant promotion of the homosexualist agenda in all forms of media. We need to let them know that we aren't about to have our children turn out to be gays and lesbians. The time is coming soon when these sinners will be dealt with, and dealt with harshly. But until that time, we need to stand up for what we know is right, and not give into the constant pressure that comes down on us from every side.
To the editors of this website, know that this time is near. Remember the words of God when he spoke through the prophet Daniel:
31 And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation. 32 Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. 33 And those of the people who understand shall instruct many
Not in the Dinosaur Pen in a company I interned for about 6 years ago. They had Ops in the pen most of the time (apparently because the PC and MAC servers were in with the big iron) and an alarm system. When I was given the tour, I was told "if this goes off, you have X amount of time to get out the door, or you're dead, because the room will fill up with Halon."
Posted signs all over the place gave the same information. Signs in the NOC outside the Dino Pen indicated that if the alarm went off, get the hell out of the way of the door, because people would shortly be hauling ass through it.

That's just silly. Everone knows IBM replaced their standards-compliant "mirrors" with proprietary "light-reflective image replication" devices that plug into the MCA bus back in the late '80's.
