They'll have to be some premium earplugs to even manage getting the level down to 125dB, which is still very unpleasant. There is no mention of the frequency involved... very high and low frequencies are not attenuated very much by most earplugs.
Spend a little time looking through the list, and you'll see the whole thing is such a big clusterfuck that neither variant can claim to be more "true" English than the other can.
The constant attempt at various corporations to conflate morality with legality in the minds of individual citizens is very ironic in light of the fact they have no such confusion themselves. What is moral is irrelevant to them, and even the issue of legality is only addressed as far is it doesn't hurt profitability too much. They have the option of being able to easily change the legal goalposts when they find the legal issues too much of a hassle.
Morality and legality can overlap, but they are not at all the same thing, and any attempt to claim they are is only convincing to children.
My 60GB PS3 (purchased in Jan 2007) recently folded its 1500th work unit. Unlike my Linux SMP folding box, which needs to be babysat constantly, the PS3 always uploads and downloads new work units without me having to do anything and has probably run F@H without a shutdown for a full month more than once. At an average of 6-8 hours per work unit, my PS3 has spent an awful lot of time at 100% CPU load. In contrast, I probably don't have more than 500 hours or so of disc usage time on it.
If solder being overheated was the issue, I would figure heavy folders would be the first to run into the problem. I have heard that Stanford has had some PS3s folding 24-7 since the introduction of the PS3 folding client... I'd be curious to know if they've had any YLODs.
Actually, I see I was probably thinking of the above Gulf War link... the NP article I recall reading is pictured to the right of the GB in the museum display.
I recall a NIntendo power story about a GB surviving a house fire. The letter included a picture of the GB, now partially melted and very discolored, turned on and running a game on the mostly non-working screen. Pretty sweet.
The real issue is that I can walk into Walmart right now and buy a computer that comes with XP on it. Adobe may not support a 8 year version of Photoshop, but neither do they continue to sell that 8 version today.
I use the driver from www.fs-driver-org on my Win2000 box, and it does seem to have one limitation. An ext2 file system created with gparted's default settings will not mount in Windows. You have to use the flag "I -128" in mkfs.ext2 during the formatting of the ext2 file system to make it Windows usable... after that, the driver works flawlessly.
The whole point of statistics is make estimations that take less effort than counting out what you are trying to examine. Most studies could only dream of having a sample size of 10K. If there is a problem with the sample, it is the fact it was not randomly selected.
I undervolt my laptop. Up until the most recent kernel releases, this could be done by simply loading a small module into the kernel. A group of people on Ubuntu Forums would work together... one person would compile a module and put it up for others to download.
Currently, the way phc is handled was changed, and it requires a recompile of the whole kernel... please either include this module in the kernel or let it be loaded seperately again! If I wanted to compile my own kernels, it'd be running Gentoo.
The current price difference between the two consoles in the US is $50... and it's hard indeed to argue that extra $50 for the PS3 doesn't buy some you some far more capable hardware.
But then again, I paid $600 for my PS3, so what do I know?:)

Chrome without the crap... the current Linux alpha works great for me:

It seemed to me the same sort of logic that the RIAA uses... piracy=lost sales being the analog.

This is human rights abuse, plain and simple.

Publicity has nothing to do with logic, smartypants.
Right now we are stuck with Flash... so HTML5, standard or not, would be much preferable.
If you actually used Demonoid, you would have known the site has been down for more than a week.
You can't fool me, Kilgore Trout!
Your computer puts out 360 kW? It must get terrible gas mileage.

The current problem is (at least in the US), you have to pay WAY too much to experience all that.
The system is broken and desperately needs to change.
Demonoid now prevents people who are not logged in from browsing any torrents, making it useless for people who are not registered.
The site has also been down for "maintenance" for several days now.

According to Wikipedia, Uranus has the coldest planetary atmosphere, at 49K.

A BMW car is a "Bimmer" and a BMW motorcycle is a "Beemer".
Now you know.
Screw Win98... Win2000 will run fantastically on 256MB, and it offers 95% of what Vista can by my reckoning.
The 160GB should be added to that list as a third gen.
Really? For me, when I open a /. article on v10, the whole browser goes unresponsive for 30 seconds, no joke. This is on Ubuntu 9.04.
