I'm sure it would actually. hell a 150mAh charger produces [I'd guestimate] about 20C of heat over ambient in my AA NiMH. So chances are good that a 120Ah charger would produce much more heat.
Let's not forget that the battery actually resists being charged [hence the heat]. So it's not like you can just dump a shitload current on a battery and have it all absorbed instantly....

What bothers me is the "method" of attack is exactly the same each time but because they change the text around people are caught "off guard".
Well no... you're a moron. There is a reason why I turn off attachments, HTML previewing, etc.... When I get email I want just text. If I want to see web page I goto a browser [Konq mostly;-)]
The problem you realize is that the "web" was being marketed as the peoples medium not a techies wet dream.... so supporting less than 100% HTML would be a good idea.
For the most part forgetting a tag or here there while violating the almighty standard really poses no huge problems. What pisses me off is the demand for huge graphics, flash, sounds, ActiveX, etc...
Seems people can't express what they want to say so they make up scores of useless animations that don't say anything.... for them!
"anything to do with it".... I submitted patches under GPL to the developers. They refused them without even opening them.
This isn't a case of the arm-chair critic going to town....
As for why I hate the GPL it's because people hide behind it and call their software "free". I write public domain software because I want everyone [including commercial users not to interested in sharing their work] to use it. I truly give away my software without any direct renumeration [money, street cred or otherwise].
Forking projects is a *last resort* since it means that you pollute the user space with two programs that basically do the same thing.
My point isn't that OSS is bad just that YMMV with respect to people adhering to the rules of the game.
In particular with GNUPG forking just to include my patches wouldn't make sense since for the end user they wouldn't notice a difference [that and I don't believe in the GPL personally so I wouldn't work on it].
That isn't always true though with open source. Look at GNUPG's/cipher directory? It's been stagnant for nearly a year and the code quality is simply pathetic. Sure it "works" but if OSS is supposed to furnish the best quality code then it ought to at least allow for improvements.
I've sent patches to the GNUPG folks and they flat out refused to even look at them let alone merge them in.
Say what you want about me or the quality of my code but if you actually look at the patches I wrote you can appreciate the things I fixed up for them. Nothing earth-shattering but still a clean-up nonetheless.
My point is YMMV with OSS just like proprietary software. Some people just don't like being told they're wrong.
Hey UT2k4 runs just fine on my 2200Mhz [essentially] 80786 [athlon though...] with 512MB of ram.
Now here's the fun part. That sounds routine now. Now go back say to 1992 and read a computer ad from there.... "high end P55C running at 60Mhz and other medium end 486DX4 running at an impressive 133Mhz"...;-)
I have a GeForce 3 [ti200] and I can certainly tell you that software GL and nv drivers do not make for good gaming. UT2k4 runs awesome with the latest nvidia drivers and I wouldn't imagine trying otherwise.
Note that you could use the nv drivers and the software renderer [I think it has one for linux... I never tried since I'm fine;-)].
Sure writing LaTeX is a bit harder but when you get your 100-page user manual coming out *properly* with automatic table of contents, list of figures, page numbers, pagestyles, figure numbering/caption etc.... It becomes a godsend.
Taking from personal experience. In my "soft eng" class in College two of us [out of 6] decided that LaTeX was the way to go for our design documentation. We started the document [wrote a fair bit] then handed it off to the other part of the team [the other 4] so we could get to coding the damn thing.
They took our LaTeX and converted it back to MS Word. Net effect? Errors in the TOC, none of the figures had labels, etc....
I'm not saying you can't produce good documents with Word [for you OSS types replace Word with any other WYSIWYG editor] it's just that to get document finess is much harder.
That and once you learn the basic tags [e.g. chapters, sections, figures, labels, references] writing in LaTeX isn't that hard or slower.
So far I don't have a van so that part of #3 doesn't look likely.
As for "suffering for my art" I'd like to think I'm more humble than that. Sure I contributed stuff but it wasn't earth shattering can't live without. I helped a few people. That's what I was looking for [and maybe a job down the line].
See I don't "work/think" like the average person. I can't live in the world where you basically have to lie to your customers because everyone else does it. This is how it started... nice warm day in the 1950s somewhere in the USA...
Two competing lawn mower companies...
Company A: Our mower gets 30 mins per gallon! Company B: So does ours now! Company A: Um, our mower cost 17$ Company B: Ours is now 16.99$ with the mail in rebate! Company A: [aside] Holy crap batman we gotta outthink these people...
Meanwhile in the evil lair of Company A HQ newly formed marketting department...
Market Droid A: Well we have the same product so we have to distinguish ourselves or the "consumers" will mistakenly buy the equally capable Company B mower.... hmmm oh I know, Slap a "made in America" on the side.
Market Peon A: Don't we import from Taiwan because of their slack child labour laws?
[5 mins later....]
Pogey Peon A: Damn, honesty sucks.
[2 weeks later on channel 2 "cable"]
NOW FROM COMPANY A!!! A genuine whole gourmet quality made in america 100% guaranteed multiple gear lawn mower. Yes, you will certainly impress the commie spy next door pushing around your own 250lbs "snapper" lawn mower!.... 54 years later....
Now with AOL NetSpeed DSL Turbo you can download things upto 200 times faster [compared to the TCP pigeon...]. So drink young, have fun enjoy coke-cola while you look smart driving your 3,500 lbs land-yacht seal killer "sports utility vehicle" down to some latte sipping yuppy establishment.
blah blah blah.
Anyways moral of story is I'm Peon A. I don't "buy" marketting and because of that I also don't push it either. That makes me a hell of a liability for any company... and why? Because I believe in integrity, honesty and responsibility. It got me fired from my first job [cloakware], kept me from my second [entrust] and is the reason my only jobs now are for the AMC movie theaters and freelance software companies.
Anyways point is I don't want to be all mellowdramatic. I'll plug along as best as I can. Doesn't mean it won't get me down once in a while though.
Um, squatard I have audited my code quite a bit [you will note that most bugs in the LTC changelog are attributed to myself].
I *think* my code is secure [or at least statically secure]. Hey, you think otherwise? That's good, you want to scream about it in public? Why not prove it?
Well I can't think of a valid reason to ignore my patches. And those 200+ people how many were oh I noticed 1 char is out of whack... how many contributed more than 10 lines of code?
Just like allegro for instance [which is a wicked coo package] has a whole slew of "authors" [I'm one of them] who have mostly just contributed a line or two at most. [IIRC I contributed about 7 lines or so to a 3d clipping function...;-)].
As I say in sci.crypt if you find fault with my ideas, posts, projects, packages, etc, then actually post what exactly is at fault. Hand waving and wild accusations make not for good argument.
BTW I hardly doubt 240 people worked on the/cipher dir. Cuz the code is really horrible and not that big to begin with..

180W can be over 100C [hint: an 80W Athlon can hit over 100C].
That may be bad for a battery to be running that hot.

ok I fail it. Mod me -1 please.
I thought so. It had like words and I think a verb or two.
