Congratulations on your first post achievement. All Slashdot readers know how difficult and time-consuming it is to get "first post" status - and the accompanying accolades and international honors. It takes a lot of effort - as I'm sure you realize - and not everyone is up to the task.
Again - congratulations. And may your digestive efforts be rewarded with success.
The problem is not expected to affect other brands, because it is a part related to Philips' unique Ambilight feature, which casts a colored glow on the wall behind the TV.
Is that colored glow before or after the capacitors blow?
...don't forget the - to me - absolutely precious term:
PRAIRIE DOGGING!...naturally I mean the cube-farm-heads-popping-up kind, not the "I have to go to the rest room really bad" kind. Although the latter is mildly amusing too.
I think there are a number of things to consider about this information:
1) As has been pointed out in the comments, educated folks have more to lose, and (arguably) notice it sooner than less-endowed folks. 2) The thought processes of (most) educated folks are (arguably) more "conscious & deliberate" rather than "habitual", and therefore would be more succeptable to the Alz. degradation - and more noticeable to the victim. From personal experience (Mom-now) I can state that the thought and behavioral "habits" go last. Its "present" cognition and the active thought processes that degrade fastest and worst. 3) Personally, I look askance at just about ANY medical research that quotes a.3% variation in ANYTHING. Sorry, but the unavoidable noise level in med research - especially in thought, cognition, and learning/retention measurements - is just too high. Its just too subjective and the "norms" too variable to measure that accurately. IMHO, of course.
Uh...yeah...but I'm from the year 802701 (AD) and we planted that article in 2006 to delay you folks in 3042 from discovering temporal warp and then running into the hidious and irresistable...well...you'll find out.
The "truth" isn't the subject of discussion. The FACTS are what's under discussion. Fact is, the guy said he'd decline another term. Fact is, he didn't decline another term.
It is this inconvenient FACT that his flunkies are trying to erase.
Now that I vented a bit I'll grant that this statement is probably excessive, but - dammit! - this guys crud affected us all. Throw the book at him. He should never be allowed access to the net or a PC again.

I'm quite familiar with forces you name and the (several) formal mathematical theories underlying their relationships and interactions. But a magnetic field no more produces gravity ("Levitation" is not gravity) than gravity "produces" a strong nuclear force.
The article assertions are - not to put too fine a point on it - pure BS.
And as for what school I went to: One that teaches semantic rigor.
We'll have to grant them equal rights and welfare and low-cost PC-housing benefits. Shortly after that you'll hear remarks like, "Well, there goes the memory-page!"

That's badly.
I sincerely and abjectly apologize, but I couldn't resist.
Don't you just hate it when that happens?

How 'bout compiler engines? Will it detect knocking in them?

ugly websites do a few things that beautiful websites tend to (not do).
Ugly women often have the same virtue.
