    Really. Marked as a troll, WOW i am impressed. Did people actually read all his comments nothing people say can turn the guy around. He can't even see other peoples points. The very definition of a troll. Just continually sticks to his point that any credit usage is bad. Even when its good.

    You can't beat this guy. It is like trying to destroy a tank with a baseball bat. His definition of living on credit is different then every other persons. He is just credit card hater.

    Yes the number of new hams since the code requirements were dropped has gone up. However the number is so small you might as well consider it a rounding error.

    I have been licensed for only 15 years a drop in the bucket to some hams. Still, the code requirements were dropped to reduce the depreciating number of new licenses. Your numbers while technically true. Are marginal compared to a decade ago or the decade before that. All the code dropping really did, Was get most of the technician class to upgrade. Not really the goal we were after.

    I can't speak for any numbers. One thing that I hope will give the FCC pause. Is the thought that hams like me will continue to operate in any spectrum they take away. I am not some company that can write off the useless gear I would possess. Or just as easily replace it.

    The FCC could try to take away some of the amateur radio spectrum. Every now again they try to take some away. In so far they have not been successful. It is only a matter of time though. What with the number of new hams decreasing every year.

    All the new fancy crosswalks with countdown timers for the pedestrians do exactly that. It allows me and others (i assume) to see how long before the light turns yellow. Allowing me to make better judgments.

    I picked up the 600D. Love Corsairs attention to detail. I picked up such a large case as it was difficult to find a case that would hold both an extended video card and multiple hdd's. While still looking like something other than a transformer.

  18. All in one on Self-Contained PC Liquid Coolers Explored · · Score: 2

    liquid coolers are not attempting to compete with the liquid coolers we have known of for years. They are competing with high end air coolers. As someone who was looking in to some of the all in ones. I ended up with one of the high end air coolers. Granted my case had the room for one of the dual 120mm fans with the corresponding heat sink. Price, Noise and cooling capability for all in ones equal the larger traditional cooling methods. The other thing they are good for is getting people into water cooling with little risk. Less i not forget the "cool' factor of a water cooled rig.
