Go with fiber optic. Nothing fancy. Just future proofing. That or conduits with pull strings.
Avoid wall mounts. Those are too limiting. Make space for a rack cabinet, even if a small one like 16U. Don't back it into a wall. Make sure you can move all around. And a small mini-split cooling system just for that room (it will accumulate heat if closed in).
The amount of heat produced is the power going in. The power going in is lower. So the heat produced will be lower. The temperature inside will rise until it reaches a point where the convection rate matches the input power. The more "insulated" the CPU die is from the outside, the hotter it will get to reach equilibrium. Think of the temperature as a form of heat movement pressure.
... because that tells me the judge just doesn't want to hear both sides in a real courtroom where we can see what the real case is about. Maybe he's on the take? No proof of that, but situations like that do get lots more summary judgments. It does sound suspicious, to me.
The 3:2 pulldown gives you 3 refreshes of one frame then 2 refreshes of the next, then 3 of the one after that. That variation in timing is what is annoying. Now with 120 Hz, it does NOT do 6 refreshes then 4 refreshes and such. It just does the obvious 5 refreshes each time. Now motion at least looks consistent. If it detects that the source material is already goofed up with the 3:2 pulldown, and corrects it to 5:5, that's a plus.
Motion interpolation can then play hell with that, turning your beautifully balanced-in-time 5:5 into an effective but lousy 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1 that looks like someone just video'd it.
What twitter? Nothing as straight and as forwards as just outright telling the system exactly what you want it to do, rather than playing the game of find the menu.
Banks should have the responsibility of providing a means for people to be 100% certain they are connected with the bank's own website instead of any imposter.
We all know DRM is, at best, an inconvenience. I agree that it should be removed, and publishers should face up to the reality that people are willing to pay a fair price--even an inflated price, honestly--for a product as long as it's convenient. Piracy is only more appealing when it's easier than buying.
If the publisher did not consider me (a Linux user) to be in their market (by making something directly usable in Linux), then they clearly do not expect a revenue from me. So why should I go out of my way to pay? Yes, I would pay if they want me to. But their actions indicate they do not care about me nor the market I am in. But there's some guy over in Russia that cares because he's making it available in Linux-ready form.
But if you're using DRM as an excuse to not pay for the book, you're full of shit. Seriously.
That's not it at all. Ask the publisher what their excuse is for not making it ready to use on Linux. See what kind of shitty answer you get from them. I don't care about them because they don't care about me. It's as simple as that.
You should buy the book anyway and send an email to the company explaining why their system is counter-productive. Downloading books without paying shortchanges authors. These are the people that you're ostensibly trying to support.
That provides no incentive at all for the publisher to correct the problem. But maybe what I should do is track down the author and send my payment (which would be more than the publisher pays) to him/her directly.
iTunes ended up DRM free because the middleman (Apple, obviously) was convinced by consumers that DRM wasn't necessary, and encouraged the labels to drop DRM as a requirement. It became obvious to everyone that people are happy to spend their money to support artists they enjoy. I'm sure there's still quite an active music trading scene, but there's money changing hands, too.
Take that up with the publishers. Until the publishers are at least trying to care about the little market niches like Linux users, why should we care about them?
Your positions on downloading and trading are inconsistent with your positions on supporting artists and convincing companies to remove DRM. You have to show them that the market is there and willing to pay (assuming they're not fleecing us) to convince them that DRM is unnecessary. In the meantime, you're just entrenching them further and making it harder for your favourite writers to do their work.
If they are getting revenues from the market they clearly do not yet care about, how is making an extra effort to pay them, in addition to doing the downloading from the internet, going to encourage them? What they need is to realize that they won't get the revenues from markets they don't make things for. That is how Harvard MBAs and all other kinds of business people think.
Buy books. Pay for them. If you can, buy from a publisher that's already DRM free and thank them for their decision. If you can't, buy the book and remove the DRM afterwards if you like and stop falsely complaining that you can't device-shift your collection. Then get off your lazy ass and write the publisher and remind them that you ALREADY paid for the book and that you'd appreciate it if they considered changing their policy.
I'm find with buying from non-DRM publishers. For example, I have a lifetime membership to Magnatune for music. It's the ones that don't have a clue that I have an issue with. Now maybe if you were suggesting to write them a letter for each download I do because they aren't making things for my market, then maybe I might think about that. But I don't give a damn about the publisher. I do care about the actual author, artist, composer, musician, etc.
Yeah, that movie theater experience. I just love squishy greasy buttered floors, and crying babies, and the couple in front of me making out. And the cost of gas to drive to the theater.
Not!
I have DVDs shipped, but have been thinking that even that has a carbon footprint on the environment. So I'm looking at doing downloads. I'm sure there is someone out there that has converted movies so they are ready to play on Linux.
See... DRM doesn't work. It just encourages piracy because the pirates see LESS competition from the original publisher, who typically is trying to find some way to make it harder to read the books, like denying it on certain devices or under certain operating systems.
And look at that attitude from Jim Butcher... "The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you."
If he is wanting to whine about pirates, he's not going to be getting that whining around very far by cutting people off from it. So I simply cannot take that guy seriously. And no, I did not register or sign up at his site. There's no reason he needs my personal info. I suggest if you think his writing is important for us to know, you copy it to a followup post here on Slashdot. Then maybe we will read the writings of that lunatic.
I think they have the cause and effect backwards. It is not that abuse causes short telomeres, rather, the short telomeres cause abuse. No, really. Most child abuse is from family members... who also have the short telomeres in most of these cases. Short telomeres also make people bad and turn them into abusers, bank robbers, and even spammers. And I think Anonymous Coward has short telomeres, too.
Can we please adopt programmers that are not susceptible to writing bad code? It's really pathetic that after all these years, that's still a huge cause of security issues.
Actually, suing is a very good way to ask questions. The difference is that in a lawsuit, you can ask the judge to order the other party to answer. And she might just do that for a reasonable question.

The ATSB said the incident highlighted the dangers of using unauthorised repairers.
And this also should highlight manufacturers trying to restrict the scope of authorized repairers.

I'd go with fiber optic, at least along side the cats.
