He does mention the caveat that there are increased temperature levels, and this likely would lead to reduced drive life. It's a matter of tradeoff. He wanted a quieter PC and was willing to risk extra wear and tear on the drive.
That big sale of spectrum for TV actually got my theatre ten brand new shure wireless mics/receivers because we could go to the Dean and say 'hey, our old wireless system is literally obsolete.'
Sounds like progress to me.
It's about the way the power is delivered. I believe the idea is that the way the charge is pulsed, either at a specific or varying frequency (I don't recall) disrupts the nervous system.
Just because there's 50kV doesn't mean this relies on voltage. It takes a fairly large potential difference to make much of an impact against skin resistance (typically 1-2MEGAohms, remember v=ir or i = v/r, and that current is important).
Space might be big. That certainly doesn't mean there's infinite room around commuter destinations. Vehicles like this would likely be converging on a few locations, much like vehicles now do.
I'm not terribly familiar with Monster's offerings in the power conditioning area. I do know that a good UPS will clean up spikes and dips, as well as provide the power backup functions.
I know power conditioners are claimed to 'clean up' some of the noise inherent in poor wiring, as well as regulate voltage levels. I have never personally tried one, so I can't tell you much about them.
I don't think it's fair to include the 'wall receptacle' in your list of things that don't matter. It's important to pay attention to your ground paths, and really shoddy wiring can introduce that unfortunate 60 cycle hum into your audio.
I live in Fort Wayne, IN and verizon recently installed boxes in all the apartments in my complex, and FIOS will be available to us in another month or two. Fort Wayne is hardly part of the "Top 20 most populous cities" by any means. It is, in fact, 70th. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Wayne
I was actually very pleasantly surprised to discover this change this morning. I'm the type of person who likes to know as much as possible, and this presentation of information is very glanceable and usable.
I know i'm in the minority, but I will enjoy this while it lasts.
I work at mcdonalds, and I had to run to Kroger to get some cheese and ranch sauce yesterday. Another time I got sent to get some chicken from another McDonald's.
kevlar WILL NOT stop a knife or bayonet. That is exactly kevlar's weakness. The point on the knife/bayonet/rifle round spreads the threads of fabric aside, nullifying the energy-spreading effect of the armor.
you raise an interesting point. If, perhaps, the primary complaint against DRM is the bricking of current media at some indeterminate point in the future, would a possible solution simply be to invalidate the DMCA once a particular DRM scheme is no longer in active use?
I don't suppose the media companies would go for that though.
v. loosed, loosing, looses
v.tr.
1. To let loose; release: loosed the dogs.
2. To make loose; undo: loosed his belt.
3. To cast loose; detach: hikers loosing their packs at camp.
4. To let fly; discharge: loosed an arrow.
5. To release pressure or obligation from; absolve: loosed her from the responsibility.
6. To make less strict; relax: a leader's strong authority that was loosed by easy times.

Magic.

Because it wouldn't be annoying getting 'pushed' around by the jackasses who can't 'drive'.

The bit about the hissing/ticking/knocking I swear I've been hearing more over recent years than I ever did
God forbid that something like tinnitus gets worse as you get older.

The McDonald's I worked at made coffee using metal vacuum pots, we brewed the coffee and removed the pot from tbe heat.

with current CFLs perhaps. There exist dimmable flourescant fixtures.

...you listed seven games. Five first person shooters, 3 of which are fairly old. Two strategy games. What if gp is an RPG fan?

no. pounds are a unit of weight. slugs are a unit of mass.
if you buy from dell, you're probably going to be buying a copy of windows too. That's $100 down the drain if you're just gonna install linux.
Not the same. Ford says 'If you tinker with your engine, no warranty for you.'
Media companies say 'You can't tinker with this.'

a friend of mine, for his senior project this year, built a device which includes a plasma tweeter.

Am i the only one who thinks this guy is not only really whiny, but also seems to miss the point of games?
