But it gets better. At musicdirect.com you have power cords for $2,699.99 !!! Obviously it's "The Absolute Sound Golden Ear Award Winner!" Of course. http://www.musicdirect.com/c-650-power-cables.aspx
But it gets better, again. At nordost they build power cables made out of "99.99999% oxygen free copper conductors." I let you imagine the cost of production. A mere 1.25M of power cord is 8,795.00 (and these are UK pounds, worth more than a dollar). For 5M count 20,495.00 pounds. Yes, that's about $31K !!! http://www.highendcable.co.uk/Nordost%20ODIN%20Power%20Cords.htm
But it gets better, so much so that it gets boring. But still. Can you spend more than $31k on a simple pair of wires? Well, yes, you can. Look at the bottom of that page, 6M of speaker cable for only $50k. A bargain, really. http://www.audiofederation.com/dealership/prices/nordost/index.htm#prices
It is astonishing to say the least. That said, it some people have the money...
I've had numerous computers and I have NEVER dusted off a heatsink. These computers have run for multiple years, in a garage, in a cupboard, under my desk, at work, at home, 24/7 for YEARS (some up to 7 years) and nope, no dust in any heatsink. Lots and lots of dust at the bottom of the case and/or behind the motherboard, but nowhere near a fan. That's excluding "slow" (aka silent) fans with grid on the site of the exhaust which seem to accumulate more dust, but still I have never had to clean anything.
Of course YMMV and the dust condition in my house might not be yours.
Every time you dust an electronic component you take the risk of destroying it. This is, IMO, utterly useless most of the time. Dust presents no danger, thus, there is no need to remove it.
Unless you have filters in front of your fans (then you should clean them or they'll clog the intake pretty quickly) there really is NO NEED to clean anything. Yes, dust will accumulate. Big deal. Dust will NOT accumulate where it matters because there's a lot of air blowing at it. It will accumulate in remote corners of your case where you could not care less if there's an inch or two of dust.
Whenever I open my case (less than once a year) I get my vacuum cleaner and suck the big piles of dust. Then I try to clean the fans as much as I can. I have some PCs that have been running 3+ years with no cleaning at all and no issue has ever ensued.
440 ppi is much finer than the eye can resolve. How it is subdivided says nothing about useful resolving power. Only morons would argue what is better based on subelements that, taken alone, mean nothing
Nitpicking much he? Dpi is as meaningful as how you define "d". In printing world for example, d means one dot of one color, either full on or off. Hence to have a decent quality you need to go up in the 3000 dpi or so. In a RGB screen, 300 dpi means a much more detailed picture because a d means a pixel that can take 16 million different colors, from black to white, including most of the visible spectrum.
So yes, the definition of d is of a great relevance when comparing two densities. If you do'nt use the same unit, your comparison is all but meaningless.
I guess only morons will assert blindly that 400 dpi is greater than 300 dpi when d in both units isn't the same thing.
You forgot one important factor: The 3GS had the first half-decent camera. The 4S had the first decent camera which to this day still outperform the GSIII camera on any and every shot I tried. White balance, overexposed areas, underexposed ones, focus, panoramic abilities.... The GSIII has a camera at the level of my old iphone 3GS.
This is actually the reason why I upgraded my iphone 3GS to the 4S. The iphone 5 has the same camera for all practical purposes.
Don't worry, it's coming. If the progression between Windows 7 and Windows 8 is to be extrapolated, it will have 5 different UIs, weight 512GB and will have IE 17 installed. The same battery life though.
But at some point in those 5 years the EU is going to fall on us for public debt and failed economy. Just like they did with Greece. And the plan will die at the door of the rural areas (smartly we begin by the urban areas).
It's more like the French are doing it because Australia is doing it.
It's cute the way they appreciate and imitate our Aussie culture and style. And they almost get it right, but there's a certain je ne sais quoi they never seem to manage. I'm not sure what it is though.
What we do is the following: Look up for ideas around, take the best ones, add the "French touch", fail miserably.
So out of your 9 word post only one was relevant and the other 8 garbage? And you expect us (readers) to be able to decrypt your message with such a low signal/noise ratio?
When I was in highschool many years ago it was the ones right out of college I remember being the best
Obviously you were perfectly qualified to judge them.
Actually the summary says "I think you're even more unlikely to get a job if you do some of the things on this list." pointing to Forbes, where the list on Forbes is of people that were all hired. Quite the opposite of the summary in fact...
Have you tried PowerShell? It has replaced the "MS-DOS Prompt" if that is what your experience is of. In some ways PS is more advanced than UNIX, for example it allows you to pass data in an object-oriented fashion, avoiding the need to constantly parse data delimited with spaces with various commands (awk, sed, xargs...).
It has some good points, true, but it still lacks the shitload of userspace utilities (mostly GNU) that we enjoy on unix and linux in particular. Also, it doesn't help for a remote control type of operation when most server apps have their configuration in a nice dialog box.
Now I know what's in the proposal, and it spawned two things in my mind:
1. It is far less dangerous than what the ridiculous Slashdot headling led me to believe 2. It seems even more ridiculous than I though it could. Actually, pathetic is a better word. Pointless, vain, plenty of words fit actually.
You didn't get DRM at all apparently. It's not a matter of ME willing to solder a chip to my hardware, it's a matter of someone, ANYONE, willing to do so and then seed the movie on BitTorrent.
All it takes is ONE person breaking the DRM, and the entire DRM is defeated for EVERYONE because it becomes simpler to download the movie on TPB.
Slashdot Mirror
The linked article features $500 for some simple cables. But people can spend MUCH MORE MONEY than $500 on simple cables. For example:
$699 for 3M of speaker cables: (look for STEREOVOX Firebird Speaker Cables, 3M): http://www.gcaudio.com/products/steals.html
Ironically, the products are labelled "steals". Very true indeed.
But there's more. Not all products are "steals". "The next step up is the LectraLine cables priced at $295 for the 1M" http://www.gcaudio.com/products/newArrivals.html
But it gets better. At musicdirect.com you have power cords for $2,699.99 !!! Obviously it's "The Absolute Sound Golden Ear Award Winner!" Of course. http://www.musicdirect.com/c-650-power-cables.aspx

Trolling aside, I've found that the best way to clean those ISA/PCI/AGP connectors is to leave them alone alltogether.

No, LG has no intention of releasing anything web-OS related. All that is irrelevant.
Exactly.. this is one case where getting FORKED is a good thing!
There are cases where it's a bad thing?
Your view of the future of computing is particularly gloomy.
if you "don't know much about WebOS", then how do you know HP's mismanagement was to blame?
Because they released a tablet and killed all WebOS products the next week?
I got a Nexus 10, where's my Windows 10? :)
Don't worry, it's coming. If the progression between Windows 7 and Windows 8 is to be extrapolated, it will have 5 different UIs, weight 512GB and will have IE 17 installed. The same battery life though.
But make no mistake: It's coming.

This works (or fail if you prefer) all the time.

soory, but my best friend is a teacher...sources?
Good for you. Did you have anything relevant to say at all?
ok, thx. I guess I was having a bad day.
Thank you for your thoughtful answer which is not adressing at all the sentence I was responding to: "which everyone should visit at least once"
If only one did it, the other one knows it and is silent == conspiracy.
Both did it, both stay silent == conspiracy.
That was pretty simple.
What if none of them did it (e.g. the DNA got on the scene accidentally)?
Are you suggesting that his sperm got into the victim's vagina accidentaly?
actually redwoods in NorCal, which everyone should visit at least once
What the fuck are you implying here? That California has the most beautiful trees in the world? Just like everything else?
There are trees in every continent and in every island. Yours are great, true. So are many others.
Actually the summary says "I think you're even more unlikely to get a job if you do some of the things on this list." pointing to Forbes, where the list on Forbes is of people that were all hired. Quite the opposite of the summary in fact...
Yes it is. And to be fair, it's a lot more accurate than Nostradamus will ever be.
There, FTFY.
