"Here is a tip champ, certs dont mean shit to anyone but HR."
Oh, how ignorant you are.
You won't get hired in my company without at least a Master Gardener's certification. Oh, and we don't have HR. I do all the hiring.
And testing.
Also, some states won't let you do shit without a certification. Oh, say, California. Most counties require a FOOD HANDLER'S CERTIFICATE to even work in a fucking McDonald's.
HR has NOTHING to do with that. That's straight-up LAW.
"Of course if their root key was compromised they're fucked, but that one is deep in a vault deep in the bowels of Microsoft and the only place it'd come out would be in a secure facility to sign a new signing key."
Yea, right. Root is the first thing that will be reverse-engineered.
Get enough devices with the code, you'll figure out what the root key is pretty quickly.
How do you think we got so far on the PS3 and 360?
Because even with 2 contact points a properly-lapped copper shim actually works better.
With thermal pads you have two contact points as well.
Ditto thermal grease. One side contacts the die, the other side contacts the heat sink.
"If introducing a shim or any sort of additional contact layer actually improved heat transfer"
What do you think thermal pads, thermal compound, and cooling plates are for?
"then why not sandwich 5 more shims?:P"
Because that'd just be a waste of money.
Hi, I design high-power LED systems that consume far more power than most CPUs. 300w array in a 30mm x 30mm package is just the latest breakthrough, and it's kept cool by....
A copper shim connecting the nickel-backed contact plate to a copper heat sink.
"Spy cam software secretly put in place by a third party."
Doesn't matter. You were warned that you could be audio/video monitored. Your agreement to walk into such a store CLEARLY destroys that right.
Exactly the same thing at my porno shop. We have people trying to go "You can't tape us without permission in the arcades!" Bullshit, child. You see that sign? You go past it, you're fair game to every possible hidden camera on ourselves, our employees, and the customers that walk in there, because YOU ARE EXPLICITLY NOTIFIED.
ALL EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY GOES OUT THE WINDOW.
It doesn't matter. We've won this lawsuit multiple times across multiple states, starting from Colorado, out to California, then going the other direction, to Tennessee, and New York.

Hi, you're on CANDID CAMERA.
Your chosen source is wrong, outdated, and easily behind the times, especially when it comes to already-existing shows which do EXACTLY what has happened in TFA, and those shows have been around for 20+ years.
"but I don't think it means quite what you think it means. It isn't an enumerated power of the U.S. Congress but rather something in the preamble. The preamble doesn't hold any weight in terms of what the government can or can't do, all it does is establish why the constitution itself was written"
That in itself is a law. That is the binding directive for the government.
"You can take pictures if you want, but to publish them in any way, be it a magazine, website or artistic display, you need to get permission from the individuals in the pictures to do so. It's called a model release and every ethical photographer knows about them. "
You're not a photographer, then, because in public venues, you have no right.
Yes, I do photography and film. Yes, I attended school for it.
Quit talking if you're not educated on the subject/hold any certification.

"XP is approaching the end of life where you can say it 'works'."
Yet earlier today I saw a person browsing 4chan on a 75MHz Pentium running Windows 95.
Ahem, what was your point? Looks like software even older than that is 'working' just fucking fine to me.
Looks like an AC beat me to showing you how idiotic you truly are.

What's illegal, again? If you do it for noncommercial use (such as making a backup to your hard drive) it's perfectly legal.
Welcome to several years ago. Do try and catch up.

That was free, too. And the battery bank and charge controller.

A copper shim connecting the nickel-backed contact plate to a copper heat sink.
And still maintaining ~40C temps.
Ain't shit new about it besides being silicon and carbon.
I've got copper shim sheets that have far higher thermal conductivity and perform better, and outlast any thermal pad.
I can't stop laughing.
Ah, how the ACs never cease to amuse with their ignorance.
"I vote for Turkey. Kindest. People. On. Earth."
I can tell you've never been on Camfrog.
We typically BAN TURKEY on all of our video chat servers. For good reason.
Plenty fine here since I lap all of my heatsinks and tops of CPU die casing, and use a lapped copper shim as the go-between contact.
Thermal paste? Not needed here!
I'm nowhere as ignorant as you.
One of the benefits of being smart enough to hold a research director position.
Go play in your fantasy torture world elsewhere.
Try 236 years old - nowhere close to 'barely' 200 years old.
This is slashdot. You can guarantee just about anyone with a UID over 900,000 is gay.
"lacking ESD protection on the HDVI port"
This isn't the 90s. Devices today are much better in resisting ESD damage.
It's been at least ten years since I've killed any piece of hardware via ESD.
Hey guys, check it out, a spammer trying to spam a site when people can just hook up at your local porn shop's arcade.
I haven't seen anything funnier on here in a long time.
Well, from new (totally unused parts) obtained from a garage sale, I have a fully-functional 800MHz PIII system running Linux with a GUI.
Was like $25 for all the parts, case as well.
Someone doesn't know how to bargain shop.
"Show me SOMETHING that is made inthe USA."
Every bit of medical cannabis I use is USA-produced, typically locally, at that.
I manufacture hydroponics systems. Plenty of plastic forming companies here in the USA.
The alcohol I consume is USA-made, right to the can.
ALL of my guitar equipment is USA-made, excepting my Japanese Jackson, and including my hand-built effects pedals.
What weak argument were you trying to make, again?
"Pretty off topic in my opinion"
No it's not off-topic. Man can make it, man can break it. That simple.

>implying people RTFA when we like to go by what should be a fucking accurate title and body of a summary.
You're inside an Apple Store - you're already on camera. It's even stated so on the premises.
Sorry, your entire highlighting doesn't work in such a case. There is ZERO expectation of privacy.

Otherwise it is useless.
