Then again, for years GE has made parts for nuclear warheads, and I don't see the anti-war crowd buying less of their stuff. Actually, I shouldn't say that. Some might take it as a positive endorsement.
Excuse me? The boycott went on from 1984 to 1993. A Google search for "GE boycott" yields stories dating back to 1990, and they left the nuclear weapons industry in 1993. I'm no anti-war nut, I just think their consumer electronics are crap.
That might not be from substandard capacitors, but from substandard electrolyte used in the caps. A lot of Taiwanese mobos had that problem a couple years ago. I have an dead Abit KA7 sitting on the shelf until I have time to play with it. Here's a link concerning the "Leaky Capacitor Fiasco".
They may be for digital guages, but it's still an analog signal. In the case of an oil pressure sender theres a small bourton (sp?) tube attached to a rheostat or potentiometer, and with temperature senders its a cheap thermocouple. The only thing in cars that could be called digital (besides the computer) would be the switches and idiot lights (12V = on, 0v = off).
I don't know where you got your information from, but if I were you I'd take it back for a refund. With CPU's running at 3Ghz+ and buses running at speeds upto 800Mhz (With nice, long, traces on the motherboard! Gee, sort of like an ariel..) your computer transmits all sorts of electromagnetic radiation on bands upto and surprasing your kitchen microwave.
Like I stated in a previous post there are no frequencies above 200 Mhz outside of the processor. An 800 Mhz bus is actually a 200 Mhz bus quad pumped so it transfers as much data as an 800 Mhz bus would. There's simply too much stray capacitance on the motherboard to tolerate the distance between the CPU and RAM. Tomshardware explains it all here.
I think most interference would be in the 33, 66, and 100 - 200 Mhz range. The only frequencies over 200 Mhz are inside the processor, under the heat sink and heat spreader and far too weak to cause any interference.
Any mention of Japanese and fair in the same sentence is a invitation for laughter. Japanese companies have a recent history of helping each other due partly because of recent anti monopoly regulations from decades of monopoly abuses, and now competition from other asian markets. Microsoft may have helped develop "embrace and extend", but the Japanese developed "dump and pump". Flood the market with inexpensive products, and when the competition keels over, pump up the prices. Now they're in the same boat as we were in the 70s, and they're doing everything they can to survive.
How about I look in the fridge one in a while and check whether I'm low on milk/butter/beer whatever, instead of Hal 9000 figuring it out for me?
What they need is a standard to unfuck the back of my entertainment system. I mean, really, why does there have to be over a dozen wires going to/from my home theater? It *should* be 6 speaker wires, and a couple USB/firewire connections. Is it that hard to produce?
Scavengers typically have immune systems thousands of times powerful as humans.
Quote from HereVultures have long been perceived as loathsome birds because of their feeding habits. We now know the important role these birds play by cleaning up dead animals. The Latin name Cathartes aura means "Golden purifier". Turkey Vultures are immune to botulism, anthrax bacteria, hog cholera virus and many, many more that would kill other animals as well as us. Vultures were once blamed for spreading diseases. Scientific research has shown that their digestive tract and immune system actually destroy all pathogens and help to control these diseases. Ongoing research in the medical field on the Turkey Vulture's amazing immune system may some day yield valuable information that could be applied to humans as well as livestock.
If he ran rsync between his home PC and a work PC to maintain file state across two systems, the first time he could easily send 40GB to the home PC as quickly as the bandwidth would allow.
That qualifies as buisiness use, and would violate most home users TOS.
It's called cash, that's why it still exists. Unless they start RFIDing greenbacks, I don't see why we need anything else. You may also search Google for "Swiss Bamk Accounts" if you need to laund^H^H^H^H^Hmove lots of cash out of the country.
It even included annoying DJs talking over the good songs. I was hoping for a mission where I had to whack all the DJs so the station can replace them with a CD changer.
Apparently this is supposed to happen every 600,000 years. During the flip everyone on Earth will be exposed to elevated levels of cosmic/solar radiation increasing the chances for cancer. The good news is we'll have multiple auroras all over the planet as the fields move around.
what would become of games like RtCW, where in multiplayer you can play on a team that killed a lot more people than any organized crime group, real or fictional.
Actually, Joseph Stalin killed over twice as many people as Hitler did, but Stalin didn't descriminate. He rounded up millions of his own people during his "purges", labeling them traitors, and sent them to gulag (Siberian labor camps), including heros of the siege of Stalingrad who were getting too popular for their own good.
Yes, this is 2k, not XP, but I believe it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that a similar thing could happen with XP.
Pre SP1 XP is vulnerable to the same RPC exploit as unpatched pre SP3 2K PRO (you need to have SP3 in to install the one of the RPC patches). I saved the service packs for 2K and XP, the security updates for Blaster and Welchia, as well as the removal tools from Symantec and burned them to CD so I avoid this headache. I don't worry about my home machines, but the minute I plug a vulnerable machine into the network at work I'll get hit with one of those two exploits, usually Welchia. Welchia actually patches itself after installation removing the vulnerability, but then floods the network looking for other infectable hosts.
With all the WW2 games out nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised if thats what they'll replace the Haitians with in the censored version. Hell, if they did that, I'd buy the game again just so I could hear German ghetto talk.

Oh yeah, a Mercedes S class with hydraulics would be better than those slow Voodoos.

The problem is some kids are so afraid of getting their ass kicked they need something to bring them comfort. Its even worse if they already got their ass kicked, they feel the need to save face by killing the person that made them look like the pussy they are.
I think nm is Nautical Miles. Gotta love it when they mix metric and imperial measurements, then make up abreviations and assume everyone knows WTF they're talking about. I think NASA had the same problem.
If you think that AOL service is worth nothing, then your math works, I suppose, but...
IMO, it is worth nothing. In fact, they would have to pay me to use AOL. But yes, I suppose that the dozen or so people in the USA that don't have internet access now have an opportunity to find out how shitty AOL's service is.
Have you ever used AOL? Would you like to be stuck paying for AOL for a year even if you don't like it just to get a "new" PC? Sure, you can install Linux, but try to get support from AOL if something needs to be replaced under warrantee, and forget about even getting on to AOL with Linux.
Ah, the days when Solid State meant solid state, not planned obsolescence. I believe I had an old Pioneer mid 80s-ish receiver/amp that survived a fire. The knobs were melted off and replaced with generic Radio Shack ones, display didn't work, etc. It was later passed on to a friend and fried by his ex-girlfriend that decided if more speakers = more power, then 10 speakers = much more power.
