Here's something interesting -- studies have been done on children in war-torn countries like Afghanistan. They mature faster and become hardened and more cold-blooded at very early ages. You're right -- they *are* able to handle it. Its also almost irreversable.
Afghanistan has an entire generation of warlord children out there trying to figure out what this peace crap is all about.
Just because they *can* handle it doesn't mean they should have to handle it. I don't want my kids having to experience the stress of life that I experience, and they shouldn't have to figure out porn either.
Considering we here in Canada have no such right to refuse testimony and we still don't torture citizens for evidence, I'm not sure what your point is.
Do you have that little faith in your law enforcement? Mind you, what I see on TV is somewhat damning some days.

Here in Ontario, Canada, they're debating the merits of mandatory retesting every 5 or 7 years I believe it is. I'm all for it, personally -- I know I'd pass and have hopes that the last idiot I watched cut off a transport truck (which almost jack-knifed) won't pass.
Glad you commented on knowing what's going on having not played pt 1. I was wondering about that myself, having never played HL1 and not knowing if I should try out HL2. I'm sure the game is gorgeous and sounds great, but I want to enjoy more about a game this big than how nice it looks.
In our last election here in Ontario, Canada, the now-elected McGuinty promised he wouldn't raise taxes. He has. He's being sued by a consumer group here. I'm loving it. Maybe we can actually make people stand by their word?
I use Enlightenment -- I can create "window groups" and move them around together.
Also, I cam have it remember the size and location of each individual window so if I close and reopen a tool window, it comes back up where I wanted it. Otherwise, it makes reasonable assumptions about where to put it.

Linux Kernel to Fork?

I'm only really replying to give your comment a bit more weight -- that writer is as dense as lead.
I'm not sure he's ever actually followed kernel development before.
For all those wanting to know whats going on without reading the linux-kernel mailing list, just run over to Kernel Traffic -- a summary of the week's happenings on the list.
One of the most touted features of developing for the Newton MessagePad was always its Sloup-based system that was much more "intelligent" to write software around.
Contract law depends on good faith -- you are probably (ask a lawyer) breaking good faith if you lower the priority of your competitors' packets vs. your own when that competitor has the right to expect equal service to any other customer.
I've worked in Internet routing for a very long time and on many occasions have been buying bandwidth from direct competitors and I can tell you that I received equal priority to their own servers.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. We live in democratic countries (US, Canada and most of western Europe for example); if the majority of people think a thing should be done a certain way then they're probably right.
That's what democracy is about.
If we all think we should be allowed to download music or movies without paying for them, then pay if we think they're worth it, then maybe we should be allowed to. Of course, corporations as currently defined have no need to respond to public wishes whatsoever. If a currently profitable company suddenly realizes that their business method is flawed (assuming they're that bright), they'll probably flail around like someone drowning trying to take everyone with them rather than change the status quo.
I live in Canada -- downloading of music for personal consuption is legal. Period. Uploading is a gray area, but P2P software and filesharing networks are legal.
The RIAA can't touch me, now go talk to your legislators and get them to realize we did it right.
The rest of your post is almost humourous for those who are literate... however...
The issue is two-fold. First, your exhaust fan is pulling air away from the intake of your CPU fan. The size and/or speed of those fans, which you insist on throwing in, are irrelevant.
Please go ask whatever professor taught you fluid dynamics whether they're relevant. Without getting into 3D diagrams and smoke movement videos to prove it to you, my previous posts about pressure and fan exhaust directions are in fact correct. Yes, I've tested them. Yes, I've tuned them. No, you have no idea what you're talking about since you don't seem to be able to put together what's going on in this case.
The fact is, it will keep your CPU much cooler, just by turning that exhaust fan around.
You had originally said I should remove that fan -- that was incorrect as I stated before. If I turn that rear fan around, the CPU will be cooler and the rest of the case will go up in temperature astronomically having to deal with the 85W+ of heat my CPU is putting out. The CPU should always be exhausted directly to the outside, not back into the case.
For reference, I used to build PCs with smaller AT cases that had a drive carriage near the CPU and one up above the power supply. The drives mounted near the CPU ended up failing within a few months and the ones mounted near the power supply did not. The CPUs extra heat, even back in the "no fan needed" heatsink days was enough to cause component failure elsewhere in the machine.
No matter how many times you claim its irrelevant, the internal case temperature is what determines the air flow requirements for cooling the CPU with internal case air (as opposed to with an outside->CPU->outside circle). That said, creating such a loop is inefficient in terms of turbulance unless the CPU is placed alone in the air path, which then requires more fans for the other components (think Compaq Prolinea servers from a few years ago).
Saying that your CPU fan blows "back" not "down" or however you phrased it, is utter nonsense no matter how you describe it. Your heatsink clearly does not allow for a side-mounted fan, so the airstream is not in-line with your exhaust fan, therefore the exhaust fan is hurting, not helping the CPU fan.
Please take a look at the HSF; I have a very large picture of it on my website. The fan draws air in from above itself (beside when mounted vertically in the tower) and from "in front" of the exhaust fan, yes. However, that is a high-pressure area because of the faster intake fan and there is plenty of air for both fans. Also, when the fan blows, the "downward" path is blocked somewhat whereas sideways air paths are wide open and the air moves down then outwards, radiating from the HSF in all directions. Hot air radiated toward the rear of the case is drawn out by the slower rear fan because of the proximities and height of the CPU HSF (did you even look at those pictures?).

Umm, "WAH" and "Poppycock" would be trademarks of "I lost the argument so I'm demeaning myself in public in hopes that nobody notices".
Please either take a debating course (or preferably a logical thinking course; I enjoyed having a good logic teacher) or study some actual philosophy so that you can understand why people say what they say instead of just shooting from the hip and hoping you sound intelligent.
Please learn to read a thread -- this discussion came out of my comment about having a very quiet home PC and therefore yes, noise is the main issue to the thread -- I really don't care about heat when dealing with noise, as long as its kept within manufacturer thresholds.
Also, you failed to respond to anything I said about how my component layout affects noise, which is precisely what we were discussing in the first place -- how quiet a PC can be and why. My comment about fluid dynamics was re: your comment about the Zalman CPU HSF design being irrelevant to noise whereas I claimed it was relevant.
The penis comparisons (my 2500+ Barton is running at 46 degrees C right now and I have a case temp of 31 with high CPU usage and three drives running constantly serving several gigabytes to the Freenet network) are just stupid. I didn't start them; I pointed out that it is possible to take an ATX case and motherboard layout and make it quiet.
Perhaps BTX designs are more naturally suited to quiet design (I'll disagree elsewhere) but for now, please deal with the issue, not your own sense of superiority.
