Predictable power-drain, you mean and a predictable shortening of the life of your hardware -- assuming it doesn't just overheat and underclock itself, which I've seen happen a few times.
Assume away. I'll repeat myself: at full load the replacement heatsink runs substantially cooler than the stock (and warrantied) Intel cooler. The Intel cooler at 90+ deg. C - barely within the thermal specs. for the CPU - did not thermal trip; why would the replacement cooler trip at 65 deg. C?!
Your overclocking examples pushed the core 50% and 33% above spec. - it's hardly a surprise that you had issues! My setup is a more modest 12.5% overclock with corresponding memory multiplier reduction to keep it at its stock speed (1600MHz.) With Turbo Boost, the CPU is overclocked to the same speed with two cores loaded, and less that one core loaded (3.46GHz) - it's hardly pushing the envelope.
I bought an Intel i7-860 recently and the supplied HSF is barely able to keep the core temperatures under 95 deg. C with eight threads of Prime95 running. Eek!! I replaced it with a cheap Hyper TX3 cooler (larger coolers won't fit with four DIMMs fitted), and it run at least 20 degrees C cooler under the same conditions. The supplied fan is a little noisy under full load, but for gaming etc. it's not a problem.
Turbo Boost is cute, but I've opted to overclock it at a constant 3.33GHz (up from 2.8GHz) instead for predictable performance, with no temperature or stability issues. YMMV.
Break into an occupied home in the United States and you have a decent chance of being shot. Perhaps this explains why the United States has a lower rate of "hot" burglaries (burglaries where the home is occupied) than many other countries?
Nice cherry-picking. Compare homicide, armed robbery etc. statistics with other countries and you'll find that things aren't so rosy. (No, you can't pick Somalia.)
Bring on the sequels: "Modern Warfare: Cease and Desist", "MW: IP Violation" and "MW: Litigious Bastards".
Then again, the learning curve might be too difficult: do you call in a counter-suit or a Supreme Court appeal when your position is about to be overrun by litigators? Maybe make "Serious Sam: Lawyers" instead.
It's probably more important to ensure the lung is unrecognisable and drowned in vinegar (or in the case of haggis, whisky.)
The same goes for the Aussie "meat" pie - finely chop/mince the "meat", smother it in gravy, conceal it in pastry, drown in tomato/HP/BBQ sauce. You'd almost think it was edible.;-)
Like this:
Someone sees headline
They assume they know what is in the article, and in a panic frenzy to get slashdot cock waving rights, they just submit the story...probably by justs clicking on a button on the webpage.
... and a month later, when it is no longer news (for nerds or otherwise), the story makes the Slashdot headlines.
The financial crash shows that capitalism does work to regulate banks; if they take too much risk they eventually lose out, lose all their customers' money and go bankrupt, exactly what is meant to happen to companies that are poorly run in a capitalist economy.
Fixed that for you. (Can't fix the US banking system, though.)
For the record, I hate Valentine's Day. It's just silly to assign a day of the year to plan something romantic.
Agreed. I tried using logic, but Valentine's Day isn't about logic:
"Honey, I love you every day of the year. Valentine's Day is too commercialised; why don't we skip it?"
"Right, so when my friends ask me what you gave me for Valentine's Day, I'll tell them 'a big fat nothing'?!"
"Oh."
There's a difference between being alive and living. PVS patients are kept alive by virtual of life support, but they are not living. You can't "save" anyone from death; it's inevitable. If there's no brain activity, it's game over dude.
I use to work tech support for a huge hosting provider (they're in the top 5). We'd get threats of lawsuits every day, but one time someone blogged about us and management had an all hands meeting, telling us to ignore lawsuits because those are easy to fight but if a customer threatens to blog about us to escalate to a manager immediately (usually we could only offer manager call backs... yes i know stupid).
Translation: Management has just found a way to justify spending all their time on Twitter.

Do both.

There's also a website called Groklaw. Is anything would give you Tourette^Wcopralia, it's SCO's legal antics.

No, that's just doubly wrong. Try: Schweizerdeutsch.

Archaea, by definition, are a fundamentally old form of life that has done very nicely for a few billion years.

Gamma Ray Fog of War?
A gamer allegedly slipped a threatening note under his door.
The launch footage posted on SpaceWeather.com is very impressive.
