I learned this from MaximumPC, and was actually suprized at how small a temperature variance can affect efficiency. But I'll direct you to sources so you can read for yourself.
As some of the approved models in Bronze are rated for very high output (750W to 1200W), at 50% or 100%, the heat they're generating is prodigious. Even at 82% efficiency, the heat produced with 1000W output comes to 219W, which will invariably cause an increase in the operating temperature of the PSU and its immediate environment inside a computer. Why does this matter? The efficiency and capacity of electronic components such as capacitors decreases as temperature rises. At high loads with real applications inside a real chassis, a PSU gets hot and its efficiency tends to decline. By conducting the qualifying tests in unrealistically cool conditions, many of the higher power models that fare well in the 100% load test get off easy. A more thermally rigorous test would see fewer high power units achieve such high efficiency numbers.
I never mentioned capacity, only load. If you have a 400w psu using 200 watts at 70 degrees it will use more at higher temps. That's all I was refering too. I do appreciate your thoughts on this though.
So does your computer, powersupplies get less efficeint the warmer the room is. So while your useing only 200 watts, at 70 degrees, at 85 degrees, it's probably past 250.
Every method I have seen so far requires physical access. Quite frankly, it's a threat, but no more than the famous slashdot meme: If you have physical access you have root.
Who would abandon their celly? I take mine to the bathroom w/ me. I don't let strangers in my house, and it doesn't leave my pocket unless I am making/recieving a call.
I think this is really just FUD to freak people out. Hey whats that? Why does my phoen blink? Oh, it's just a reply to a post on/.!
The main difference is that the router is easy to set up to allow only the Homeowner access, Also the Router broadcasts an ssid that says: "HEY! I am an available Network! You can use me!" Your house doesn't say anything, except what kind of neighborhood you live in, and your level of affluence.
Also, "stealing" open Wifi is more akin to taking a drink from the owners hose(like the kind used to water a garden) that rests in their front yard. It's not even clsoe to the same level as breaking in and stealing everything the guy owns. Petty theft at the least, with the greatest value being what? $60?
Hard lines went out when The Matrix went out of theaters. I know there is some frequency scanning intercept type things they can do, but I thought digital cells w/ voice privacy and all that were pretty good from phone to switch???
Lol, was just a picture that was NSFW... No big issues there, just a mistake none the less.

AA isn't really meant for High Resolutions. It's meant to curb "Jaggies." The higher the resolution your set at, the more taxing AA is, and the Lower the visual benefit. Your allready packing more pixels, so your lines will have less jaggies in the first place.
I allways find it interesting how people want to run crazy resolutions, w/ AA maxed.
Am I way off the mark here? What does/. think about that?
So I checked my settings and I play @ 2048x 1536 (I didn't think I set res that high but I guess I did I'll turn it down, and graphics up, but out of time this evening) but all options other than physics and sound are set to medium (those 2 at High).
I am in the middle of playing it now. Do you turn off AV when playing? What about indexing services (Msft indexer slows me down / distributed clients (FAH, Seti) / Torrents
I'll double check everysingle setting I have on, but if your running a high res (like I do, I am either @ 1280 or 16x1200 can't remember, but I'll check tonight) TURN OFF AA. The higher the res, the less AA you need! 800x600 You need it up there. as you increase resolution, decrease AA. so for 1024x768 go down to 4x (or 2x), and 2x (or none)for 1280x1024 (asuming 4:3 ar) and just drop it from there up.
Most people want to run 8x AA on a 2048x1536 screen becuase it's the "MAX setting" but AA was designed for medium/poor resolutions. If your up in the 1280+ range, do you need it? Because the higher the res you go, the Harder (more FR costly) AA is to implement (pixel averaging a line w/ Greater and greater pixel counts, and more lines/frame.)
I wasn't trying to be too much of a jerk but 3K is a lot if your designing your machine for games. I build gaming rigs for friends / family / coworkers. First thing I tell them, set a budget, cause the sky is the limit on specs. But thats the hard work. The rest is easy, spec out w/ their budget, divide your budget (3K) into 3rds, spend ~ 1/3 (or a touch less) on proc, 1/3 on videocard(s) (again or a touch less), and scrape teh rest together w/ what's leftover 8') Most procs take a 10% OC stock. Level load times are Proc dependant not so much HDD. Two mid to cheap drives Raid 0 are often faster than 1 fast drive, and often cost less. PSU / Mobo is important don't skimp, but be reasonable. You don't need a $150 PSU! Good mobo's are about 130-230. Ram is cheap these days. You allready have a Case/mouse/Keyboard/Monitor right? If not Then re-start calc dividing it into 1/4ths w/ 1/4 budget going to monitor (the Main Output of your PC) 1/4 going to proc, 1/4 going to vid, and scraping the rest together.
No, I just forgot to list my source for average consumption. Your right though, I was an arogant ass, And for my last sentance I am sorry. I only went off of Fuel economy because that is all that was originally listed. Personally, I'd by a Geo before I bought a Prius, for the full economic efect, Most hybrids just are too much more to justify the efficiency.
However, For people who actually use the S & U in SUV, 20% is still 20% Even if you drive 1/2 that it's still a fair amount. If your towing during the summer roadtrip, that is HUGE. Not to mention that it's a great big Arrow pointing to the fact that we still can get a ton more efficiency out of ICE if we combine some technologies. Imagine a 6 stroke Hybrid, w/ electrical components run (partially)from a steam generator powered by exhaust fumes!

True but on that note, the wife also has root on the computer, and since she is married to me, she also has access to whatever records she wants.
I often chirp on $200 a piece tires (265/40/18's) w/ a mild touch of throttle. I only have an LS-1.
