I must admit that I'm scared to upgrade. MythTV has a fairly high WAF, when it behaves (which is most of the time). It took me quite a while to get the machine to do everything we expect out of a TV while training myself and the wife to use it. "How do I exit? I thought it was Esc." "No, that's in the TV and Recording view. This is a video. I had to set it for Q"
Hmmm, there should be no reason you can't have the same key exit in videos. Either you are using the internal player which has the same controls as recording or you configure whatever key you have assigned to "Esc" in myth to "Q" in your external app in your.lircrc.

IDE? Are you kidding me? It's only been around 10 years.

And actually, I've always learned that warm dishes need to chill down to room temperature before putting them in the fridge because the sudden cool down is even worse when it comes to bacteria etc.
This is wrong. The goal when refrigerating hot food is to have the food in the "danger zone" (41 F to 140 F) for the least amount of time. Letting the dish cool down before refrigeration increases the time the food is in the danger zone.
The only thing is, each time you update the kernel, you need to reboot, re-install the driver and reboot again. With the Fedora system, you update the kernel and kmod and reboot once, or update the kernel, reboot and let the akmod do the rest. Either way, it's only one reboot for a kernel upgrade. No problem if the IT guy does the updates, of course, but it's a tad faster.
Are you sure about this? I swear the last time I upgraded the kernel on my desktop, DKMS built the new nvidia module as the machine was booting and the GUI was able to load normally. The wiki article says Fedora uses DKMS as well, perhaps it is the underlying mechanism to the akmod-nvidia package that you mentioned?
We're talking about the WSOP here, not a bunch of randon sng's where you can average your losses (and wins) out over as many games as you feel like playing. With sng's, it doesn't matter if you lose one, because you will win more than you lose, but that's not how a big tourney works.
You were talking about the WSOP? You post talked about "in a tournament" and "Tournament play", not "In the WSOP main event". You were making general statements about tournament poker, not specific statements about the WSOP.
I wasn't talking about SnGs in my post, ICM is every bit as important in a large tournament, although the effects aren't usually seen until the final table unless it is a satellite.
I'll agree that in a major tournament if you think you have a significant skill edge on the field you should try to avoid large confrontations, but if someone is pushing into your aces you call - even in the ME. Just like any tournament, you can always enter another, although for the ME you will have to wait a year to try again. If you think one has troubles winning a tournament from too many confrontations, try winning a tournament when you are folding a hand that KILLS all the other hands because your opponents are aggressive. You'll always be covered in every confrontation because your opponents will realize that you are afraid of confrontations and will 3 and 4-bet you mercilessly. You sound like someone who has heard a few things about stack management and pot control and has completely misunderstood the point.
Know how I know YOU are bad at poker? You don't understand what I am talking about.
If you get dealt pocket aa's 100 times in a row, and each time you go up against someone that has you covered, your tournament *WILL* be over.
Not if you have a stack that is 99x bigger than everyone because you won the first 99 of those 100 hands. I love people like you who fold AA, you pay my mortgage. The ONLY time where folding AA preflop would be correct is in a satellite tournament where every place pays the same amount and you have enough chips to be able to fold into the money. In any other situation folding AA preflop, covered or not is a huge mistake. cEV == $EV in almost every case and if you have folding when you have a HUGE edge vs. your opponent's range you are giving away money. Go ahead, plug in whatever numbers you like into an ICM calculator, please show me these situations where folding AA is +EV.
Because the rake would be unbeatable by even the most skilled of players.
Are you saying that the most skilled players have less than a 10% (pre-rake) ROI? Because I can assure you that is not the case. Even in today's post-boom tough games the skilled players can easily see 20-30% ROI post-rake on Sit and Go tournaments, which are raked at 10%.

The missing link here is that the study gives people large doses of ketamine to produce a similar experience but I'm not aware of ketamine being produced by the body. If the body does produce ketamine during NDEs, then they might be on to something, but without that, I don't see the science here. It's more like a bunch of religiously challenged people reinforcing their own world view that they are right and more importantly that religious people are superstitious nimrods.
There is nothing inherently wrong with that, but it aint science. You have to be extra self critical when starting from the hypothesis side. If you have strange data, then you can have all kinds of wild hypothesis. If you have a single hypothesis, you better have lots of data.
The paper actually did have a hypothesis on what was happening but I don't think the article mentioned it. When the neural receptors to which Ketamine binds are blocked the neuron is protected from cell death during a glutamate flood which can occur due to several conditions which someone who has undergone life-threatening injuries may be experiencing. The hypothesis was that the body had a natural mechanism for protecting the brain during a glutamate flood which could produce ketamine-like effects.
FTFP:
When glutamate is present in excess, neurones die via a process called excitotoxicity. Conditions which have been proven to lead to excessive release of glutamate include hypoxia/ischaemia, epilepsy and hypoglycaemia (e.g. Rothman, 1984; Rothman and Olney, 1986, 1987). Blockade of PCP receptors prevents cell death from excitotoxicity (e.g. Rothman et al., 1987). The brain may thus have a protective mechanism against a glutamate flood: release of a counter-flood of substances which block PCP receptors, preventing neuronal death. Considering the sophistication of the brain's many known defences, and the vulnerability of neurones to hypoxia, a protective mechanism against excitotoxicity seems very likely. This is the only speculation in the process outlined above: the other statements are strongly supported by experimental evidence (Benveniste et al.,1984; Simon et al., 1984; Ben-Ari, 1985; King and Dingledine, 1986; Rothman et al., 1987; Westerberg et al., 1987; Hoyer and Nitsch, 1989). A peptide called a-endopsychosin, which binds to the PCP receptor, has been found in the brain (Quirion et al., 1984). Certain ions such as magnesium and zinc also act as endogenous PCP channel blockers (Thomson, 1986; Westbrook and Mayer, 1987; Cotman, Monaghan and Ganong, 1988), and it is possible that these ions are centrally involved in producing NDE's.
Power is usually limited so that the battery does not blowup. Batteries like to be slow-charged at 1/10th C over several hours. Faster charging will work, but it typically damages the internal components and causes premature death, while the "15 minute" charging suggested by the article would make most batteries explode.
Which makes me wonder - How on earth did the Japanese develop 15 minute charging? That's a LOT of energy to dump into a car.
Most of the fast vehicle chargers I have seen use a coolant (usually water) that circulates through the battery pack during charging. Batteries can be harmed when charged quickly because charging is not 100% efficient due to the internal resistance of the batteries. The waste energy is heat that is usually just radiated away in a normal slow charge but can build up enough in a fast charge to damage your batteries. Cooling the pack using an external mechanism is perfect for this application. For normal charging you can just plug in the electrical connection, or for quick charging you can have 2 extra coolant lines on the connector to pump away excess heat.
Here is another thing, I believe the engine will NOT run on e85. I cant find anywhere any info on e85 compatibility of the Volt.other than wild speculation from blogs that dont have any real info.
I know that e85 is a joke, but I am saving money on it right now as it's cost per mile (to me) is less than gasoline at the moment.
Hmmm, obviously you did not look very hard, Chevy's site for the Volt says that it is capable of running on E85.
You're talking about a hybrid system like on a diesel locomotive, no cars currently in production use such a system, they are all mild hybrids where the electric motor provides assistance to the motor but do not disconnect it from the drivetrain. 100+ HP electric motors are too expensive and too heavy to do a pure hybrid design.
You realize this article is about a car that uses just an electric motor to the wheels, right? Wikipedia says it is a 160 HP electric motor. Although it isn't in production now, it is pretty late in the development. There was also the Chevy EV-1, which while not a hybrid, did use just electric motors to move.
I think you meant "two feet incoming web requests", which probably means "manually submitted web requests" - mind you, I'm going out on a limb here, could mean roughly 61 cm.

This statement is meaningless without knowing what percentage of California's energy came from wind power last year (I am too lazy to look it up). It is only valid for X5% you're wrong, and for X>10% you're an idiot.
It was 1.4% in 2004. You could have looked it up in the time it took you to type that you were too lazy to look it up. Is being lazy supposed to be some sort of virtue?
