So, if I have this in my PC cooling system, does that mean that once a month I have to open my box and wipe the grime off my cooler? I'm all for dual purpose but this really can't be all that great for dust levels inside my box.
I was merely representing TFA in the comments. The gp made an error in summarizing the content of the article, so I tried to make that clear. Opinions and logic expressed were that of the article.
Frankly, I find it ironic that you're trying to draw conclusions about a user name that, in itself, contradicts anything you might come up with anyway.
The Halo references were the whole point. And, if you've seen the graphics I'm sure you'd think otherwise about changing them. They were stunning examples of low-poly 3D modelling that were damn-near perfect replicas of Halo models. The screen shots posted might have well been taken from a sky-cam from the actual Halo game. It wasn't so much that it was quality craftsmanship, it was the fact that it was pretty much a perfect replica of Halo's 3D look in RTS format.
It's kinda like that diorama of the 47 Ronin in Ronin. At first it's kind of lame because you don't know what it is, but once you know the story those excrutiatingly detailed figures are really cool because you can appreciate their inspiration and origin. If they change Halogen to something else, it's gonna be just another lame mod. If you can look at it and recognize that it's Halo-but-not-in-Halo, then any average schmoe who's seen Halo can appreciate it instantly.
One key mistake in the parent's summary: Ink-4 limits the ability of adult stem cells to divide. The article suggests a theory that because damaged adult stem cells are prevented from dividing by Ink-4, unchecked tumor growth (cancer) is averted later in life.
How this supports embryonic stem cell research is: we now have evidence that adult stem cells will not be effective when used as treatment because they will be naturally suppressed. Thus to get stem cells that will divide and provide therapy, we must use embryonic cells.
If you RTFA, you would have seen that manufacturing variations yield differences even among the exact make and model -- e.g. that minor circuitry, amplifiers and antenna variations differences yield a unique signature.
So, will this mean that if I buy a new antenna or break off my old antenna that my network will no longer recognize me? How much variation will it handle? When my antenna heats up will it still have the same signature?
The assumption that DNA exists solely to produce proteins is wrong. Current research suggests that DNA (via mRNA) has a direct role in memory formation in the brain. In fact, many genes have been identified whose role it is not to produce proteins, but serve as a mechanism in thought and memory formation and reinforcement. Considering that there may be many similar or identical functions in the brain with regards to thought and memory, intelligent organisms having multiple copies of these memory controlling genes is unsurprising.
To draw a software analogy: Lets say the compiled binary + all configuration and data files of your program is DNA. There are parts of the of the program that define proteins and physical structures i.e. data files, string constants, etc. There are also parts that define the sequence of events from start to finish, growth, and change i.e. the instruction code that gets sent to the CPU for processing.
For DNA that controls memory and thought formation, we can think of this as meta-code or configuration files. These files dictate what parts of the instruction code get loaded, linked, and run and under what circumstances. This meta-code may not actually perform computation or build useful data (no growth, no respiration, no protein production), but it defines how the program (organism) operates.
e.g. One bit of code might load the appropriate vectorized FP library when there is hardware support. Or, biologically, one bit of DNA might make a person always remember technical information under normal circumstances.
If you own a car with "suicide doors", you do not open the door while you are going down the highway. The door design isn't defective. What's defective is the head of the owner that opens the door on the freeway.
Ooh! It's time for useless analogies!
How about first generation airbags, smart ass? When the gun powder melted the nylon to the driver's face: were those drivers obviously so stupid for driving their car with airbags? How about using their well designed and perfectly functioning car seat with first generation passenger side airbags? Oh! They must be defective in the head for using their purchased products exactly how they were DESIGNED TO BE USED. And if that last example isn't useless enough for you, please tell me WTF exactly those rabbit ears on my power brick are supposed to be used for.
When apple starts putting warning labels on the power bricks warning of death by normal use, call me back. Mean time, take your troll somewhere else.
How then, do you suggest I store the cord? I'd drag it around all unfurled like, but I imagine that'd be bad if not worse than coiling it so it fits in my bag. And, as it happens, I regularly change the direction and starting point of my wind in order to not bend at the same places. It's still progressing.
Just to note, my definition of "carefully" is to minimize stress on the cord, not to be as neat as possible. Loose and free of twisting. I turn the brick, not the cord. Yes, I'm that anal. Yes, it is still getting worse.
And now, for a baseless comparison: { The Pornhound: Lust, the Manhunter: Envy, the Shopper: Greed, the Obsessive: Gluttony, the Omnivore: Sloth, the Newbie: Anger, the Basketcase: Pride }; *This is my post-RTFA relational array.
My favorite example search is in the Basketcase category: 'i hurt when i think too much i love roadtrips i hate my weight i fear being alone for the rest of my life.'"
I can't speak for everyone else, but so far I've gone through 2 mag-safe power adaptors. The current one has the same disease that killed the first two.
From what I can tell, it's probably the strain-reliefs. The wires inside the cord seem to be stretching at different rates causing the grotesque deformation of the cord. Near the DC end, it looks like the cord is coming out of the cheap heat-shrink'd connection. (No, I don't try to straighten the cord) The first mag-safe adaptor I had came out of the heat-shrink exposing the wires inside. Mind you, I consider my usage to be very mild. I carefully wrap the cord around the rabbit ears on the brick, I always leave a lot of slack on the cord, and I use the 3 prong extension cord on the brick itself to maintain slack. I unplug my MBP by grasping the white plastic DC end (not the cord). And, for the life of me, I can't figure out why this cord-disease progresses as rapidly as it does.
I'll probably have to get this adaptor replaced within the month. That'll be the 3rd replacement in 6 months. If they don't get better, I'll have gone through 18 by the time my Apple Care is up. $79 x 18 = $1422. Seriously, I don't understand how Apple can not fix this.
Also, don't forget that you can even quith apps while cmd-tabbing. Just hit Q to quit an app as you tab/backquote over it; hit H to hide it. One hand, two fingers, no awkward shift key reach. (Though if you're a windows junky you can still shift-tab to go backwards)
The thing is, anytime Apple launches a new product they gamble not only the development money, but a large portion of their reputation. iPod paid off, Newton didn't, and so forth.
Aside from price and minor cosmetics, how is the MacMini not the PowerMac G4 Cube? And don't say "quantifiable success".
Pretty soon FB-DIMMs are going to be cheap. May not tomorrow or next year, but soon. And when you're stuck with your 4GB of main system RAM, I'll be laughing at you with my 192GB.
Load the entire video project into main memory and scrub through my timeline? I think yes.

Considering the Segway makes you stand rather than sit, if you're too fat walk I don't see how this is worse than a 3 wheeled scooter.

So where do you get the energy to travel around the fields?
...the future!
Plutonium.
And how fast do you need to travel to make a decent amount of energy
88MPH.
And how much energy would it take to travel that fast?
1.21 Jigawatts.
It's got to come from somewhere.
I'm wrong for using it how it was designed.
Does anyone have any rational argument for why this product is not defective?

Dude, just don't buy RAM from Apple.
Also, don't forget that you can even quith apps while cmd-tabbing. Just hit Q to quit an app as you tab/backquote over it; hit H to hide it. One hand, two fingers, no awkward shift key reach. (Though if you're a windows junky you can still shift-tab to go backwards)

16GB RAM and 2TB of disk is overkill, but...
Is there anything preventing the MacPros from sporting 8x8GB FB-DIMMs or 4x750GB drives?
Will this box be able to achieve the max 192GB ceiling for FB-DIMMs?
And Dizzy was a man! ...wait, wait... Does that mean that in Verhoeven's transcendental universe Johnny Rico is gay?!?!
