Maybe I am simply dense in this case, but does that really have any relevance to what the 2nd poster was saying as to who bought the first iPad...oh well.
I guess the 2nd poster could have put this instead:
You know what Steve Jobs thinks is neat? The fact that you own the first one, and are seriously contemplating already buying the second one.
But frankly, that has no material difference from his original post, does it truly matter who bought the original iPad? it is still money in Steve's pocket, and I am sure Steve wouldn't care either way in this case, but would think it was awesome that people who have the original are seriously considering buying the second one.
Anyways, MobileTatsu-NJG (946591), I apologize, I thought that you were trying to say that you did not own the original, and that had me very confused, definitely reading comprehension failure, and thank you BasilBrush (643681) for enlightening me on what it was he was trying to say.
Agreed, even failing components don't concern me terribly, a failing power supply is unlikely to shoot flames out for long enough to ignite the cardboard. A failing video card should trip fuses in the power supply or motherboard way before heating to these kinds of temperatures. MiniITX uses low power equipment, the power supplies on these things rarely go over 100W, so what's the big concern?
I don't know how accurate their supporting links are, but either way, as someone below stated, sparks can't ignite paper, so as I was saying, I wouldn't be to concerned.
Yes, paper ignites at 451 deg F, and can be treated to raise that temperature, one other person in that thread specifies 450 deg, and another says the glue catches at 451, but all of these are for paper, not cardboard. I would not be concerned about the normal heat caused by components igniting the box, especially when speaking of MiniITX boards which are designed to be passively cooled. I have never seen a normally functioning piece of equipment that went this high without a thermal shutdown. There is the possibility of a fire starting from a malfunctioning piece of hardware, but as that is extremely rare, would concern me just as much as in my desktop case sitting on my wooden desk, or my parents computer that is completely enclosed in a desk.
He said that the iPad 2 did not seem to be good enough to look at replacing his iPad 1, how is he indicating that he doesn't own an iPad 1? Later on he claims that, but the first post in this string clearly states that he owns an iPad1, so which post is false?
It takes 451 deg F to light paper on fire, probably even higher for cardboard, and the cardboard will probably be treated with something to make it even less likely to catch. That would be some serious sparks to light the case on fire.
Yup, and playing decent online games, many people who play MMOs of different flavors face GB+ patches once a year, voice comms which is a pretty constant data stream, and the data for the game, which can be quite large.
When did me become a someone else word? Last I checked, in English, and Spanish, Me is only talking about you. Unless this is your second personality talking. They didn't convince you to replace your iPad 1 with the iPad 2 would indicate you have your own iPad 1.
Like you did? I claimed that Apple is the true copycat, as anyone, even a fanboi should be able to admit. Every product Apple came out with in at least the past 10 years was a copy of someone else's idea, but you call everyone else the copycat, I call you out on it, and you come back with me calling the iPad run-of-the-mill. Please learn to read, it will help you considerably in the future.
I wouldn't give him the HD and RAM, on any other laptop, it is very easy to access these components (and cd drive too!) on a MBP, it is tearing open the whole case, how is that easy?
Most laptop manufacturers allow you to get an upgraded screen that matches or exceeds the Macbook screen, take a look at the custom configurations from your favorite manufacturer (I can speak for HP and Dell, but don't know many others).
perhaps that should be a requirement in the future, since Apple is the only manufacturer that I have ever found who doesn't do these things, due to their obsession with looks over function.http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/02/28/233215/New-MacBook-Pro-Teardown-Reveals-Shoddy-Assembly?from=rss#
Yeah. And we know how the US self-defended itself from... something... by invading Iraq
Um, we disposed a dictator who was committing attrocities against his own people, was denying UN inspectors access and was generally trying to provoke a war
and Afghanistan.
Lol, we were invited to the country by the lawful government to help them control the Al'Qaeda problem they were having.
I thought about doing this with my telescope, but my understanding is that the ISS crosses the sky pretty damn quickly. How do you get a telescope to track it at those speeds?
Except that English has rules which we call grammer. When you fail to follow these rules, you are really speaking (typing) another language, this language is commonly called Ebonics. This is so much fun, perhaps you will call me an idiot for pointing out your mistakes yet again.
Actually, police can be trained to gage a car's speed by sight, but it is no longer considered good enough evidence when compared to a radar gun. You can get a generic ticket for speeding without a radar gun, it just can't say you were going 72 MPH, and gives far less penalties.

Doubly so.
I also initially read it that way.
Needs +5 hilarious. So true of today's society.

Thats odd, but doesn't change my point, 451C is WAY higher temperature than 451F. According to this quick Google result though, it is 450 F:

Except the iPad that is more expensive then most laptops...
It looks neat, but they didn't quite sell me on upgrading from my iPad 1.
The fact that you bought the first one...
That is not a fact, that is an assumption.
Huh? You said it yourself, unless that was a generic me
God, you made me laugh so hard. Copycat nature of everything else? You mean the ones who did these things way before Apple did?

Do they mitigate it by making it easy to replace/upgrade the most commonly replaced components?

ur mum's face're an idiot.
Not even English, what does face're mean anyways?
shift keys do not change the meaning of my words, they only serve to aid those deficient in reading comprehension.
You mean they serve as an aid to those who can't type properly? If you aren't going to type in English, don't type.
you're completely pathetic.
I know you are, but what am I?
