Have you considered switching to depleted uranium? I hear there's lots of it lying around Iraq you could get for a song. You might want to avoid Yankee Doodle, though....
Overpriced? You obviously haven't compared Lian Li with other aluminum cases. Hands down, they give you the best value for your buck. You wanna buy plastic junk and hide it in the bedroom, that's your decision. My computer sits in the living room next to my stereo/surround/DVD/LCD system, and it looks as good as any of the other components, better in fact than some.
Pure twaddle. I have had a PC68 for years and none of your bizarre energy level problems. The only reason anyone uses steal and plastic is cheap and cheaper. Isotopes? What, are you nuts or something? Do you even know what an isotope is?
That's funny, I've had a PC68 for a few years now and have found it to be a really stylish and flexible piece of hardware. My only complaint is the screws that stick out the bottom that will scratch your desk if you don't slide it off completely horizontally. I guess the wheels solve that problem.
I think the word you are looking for is "symbiotic." Keep in mind, though, that as Wild Bill Burroughs has pointed out, symbiotic relationships often deteriorate into parasitic ones. If I recall correctly, "synergy" was a buzz word of some multinational corporate monstrosity that they used in their TV advertising. "Better living through synergy," or some such muck.
What is this gmail system? You mean you don't have your own email system on your own website? What, has Slashdot been taken over by a herd of little old ladies in flower hats?
They are trying to sell a format that doesn't do anything for anyone who doesn't have a bloody 80" LCD monitor and they go and shoot themselves in the head with this WebTV crap? Yes indeedy, these are the guys who brought you the Betamax. They already need Samsung to make their LCD glasses for them. And their computer drives die after a year. You don't suppose they are seriously self-destructive do you?
"Why the hell would you have a corporate database directly accessible over the Internet?"
Well, the problem is, once you put sensitive information on a machine that's part of a network that includes machines that have internet access, you're fucked plain and simple.
As were all the Egyptian kings pro forma sons of Amun-Re. I suspect that the average Egyptian in the street at the time knew damn well these characters weren't REALLY sons of the composite sun god and city god of Thebes. At least the ones who could think their way out of a paper bag could. There are always idiots who think any old mumbo jumbo is real.
It's ironic you IDIOT! You know, tongue-in-cheek? Sardonic? Making fun of your enemy by mimicking his stupidity? I don't want to fight obesity. You wanna stuff your face from sunup to sundown until you look like a frigging elephant with an endocrine problem, GO RIGHT AHEAD. Just be sure to do it before you reproduce. I do not care. It's your business. Just be sure to keep your nose out of my business in return. And that goes double for your silly ass religious beliefs.
Er, getting back to the point...They don't have to publish the reviews in the first place, but having decided to do so and then claiming, at least implicitly, that those reviews represent the honest opinions of their customers, to then turn around and post what is basically a lie is deceptive and unethical and not likely to endear themselves to anyone who might conceivably be a customer of theirs.
And yes, I agree with the guy who said you should know what you want before you go to Newegg. Their service and prices are good but they aren't the place to do research on a product.
In under two weeks your hand-eye coordination gets to where you can put the pen on a spot on the screen without thinking about it. And it eliminates all of the carpel tunnel problems people have with mice. The only physical problem I've ever had was a case of writer's cramp after using it nonstop for several hours, and that only happened once. If you're going to just surf with it, the smaller, cheaper ones are best. If you actually want to draw, a slightly larger one is nice. I've never used the tracing feature. Where it really shines is picking out the edges of an object so you can change the background, or do a head swap.
"if you got to know them, it's very disappointing to give them up later."
Using a tablet at home and then having to use a decidely stupid mouse at work is definitely disappointing. Why do you people even use the damned things? All they're good for is clicking! Have you ever tried to draw something with a mouse? Just because Xerox invented it doesn't automatically make it good.
Exactly. Haven't you ever jammed on the brake in a parking lot because the two cars next to you were backing out simultaneously and you could have sworn you were rolling forward?
Then we can enact a 25% tax on all food sold online to fight obesity! Next we can enact a 25% tax on gun-friendly sites to fight domestic violence. Oh yeah, and we can enact a 25% tax on government sites to fight monomaniacal presidents who want to conquer the world. And then we could enact a 25% tax on religious texts sold online to fight ignorance and superstitution. Wow, we could enact a 25% tax on video game sites to help fund education. I'm on a roll here, this is fun! And...and...we could enact a 25% tax on pay-per-view news sites to fight STUPID POLITICIANS who think their job is to pass idiotic laws that make them and their constituents feel good!
But remember, it's ILLEGAL to use any of this data for nefarious purposes! No one would even consider doing so because their elected representatives DID something about the problem by passing law #187,302 that everyone immediately went and memorized so they wouldn't violate its terms accidentally.
The fact is, the whole concept of legislating solutions to real world problems is flawed in a world where no one in their right mind still believes they will be punished by the gods for breaking the law. And there isn't enough sense of community to make it emotionally painful to harm the interests of ones friends and neighbors.
No, he'd just fly to Europe where it was legal like rich folks used to fly to the Caribbean to have abortions before the Supreme Court found that it was protected under the constitution. When you're rich and powerful you are above the law, or so they think. Just watch them try to justify what for anyone else would be high treason.
The trouble with advertising is that it distorts the normal self-organizing tendency of people to value the best product and depreciate the worst. Do you honestly think the Bronze Age ended because the iron sword manufactures ran a worldwide advertising campaign boosting the advantages of iron?
Time zones destroy any possible contention that our method of measuring time is accurate. Accuracy demands that noon be when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. With the introduction of time zones, noon ceased to be accurate except at a vanishingly small strip in the middle of the zone, assuming that the zone is even symmetrically laid out. So you folks are arguing over a second a year when your local time can be out as much as ONE HALF HOUR, even when standard time is in effect, or even more in areas where the zones have been artificially altered for geopolitical reasons.
As for the dodos in Washington who think this will convince us they are doing something about the coming energy crisis, they are playing to an ever decreasingly smaller group of no-nothings who wouldn't know a real answer if it got up and bit them. I am beginning to think the ancient Stone Agers had the right idea when they would have the local king for lunch at the end of his allotted year in office.
Yes, unfortunately this is most probably evidence that even worse characters are trying to take over the spam industry from the currently only moderately evil ones. That said, I too have imagined just such an event, even down to the hammer. What else would we expect from the folks with the black helicopters from the Lumber Cartel? Like Hell TINLC!

It may not even be real. The sample may simply be skewed for some reason. One data point is never indicative of anything.

Lian Li makes many many cases. You want innovative, try the conch shell design: http://www.lian-li.com/Product/Chassis/M_M_PC-777. htm. You want quiet, try the V Silent: http://www.lian-li.com/Product/Chassis/M_V_S_PC-V1 100plus.htm.S _PC-6077.htm.
You want no holes, try the PC-6X series: http://www.lian-li.com/Product/Chassis/M_C_PC-6X_

There's no accounting for taste, I suppose.

"Password? What's that, man? ... You mean, like, a secret word you can use to confuse the snoopers? Like, way cool, dude. I'll have to check that out!"
Yes, Virginia, there really are some dum'ns in the world.

The big fish ARE the government, or own large parts of it. The only folks they CAN go after are the small fry.
