Sure, diseases, medications and "bad genes" can dictate that a person gains weight more readily than others, but they still need to consume more calories than they burn in order to gain weight. Period. It still means a lack of control. If you're becoming fat, you're eating more than necessary to stay alive. It's just a matter of self-control to correct it.
I was talking about television monitors. Note how I gave NTSC and PAL frequencies. Granted, my number were incorrect for computer monitors, but I did say that they were less noisy because their scanning frequencies are outside the human hearing range.
What you hear in CRT whine is the horizontal scanning frequency. NTSC has a frequency of 15.734 kHz and PAL has a frequency of 15.625 kHz. Try it out in Cool Edit or some other sound file editor that lets you generate tones. Computer monitors aren't always as noticable because their horizontal scanning frequencies can range from 20-30 kHz, outside of the range of human hearing. I couldn't give you a dB level, though.
What you hear in CRT whine is the horizontal scanning frequency. The PAL system generates noise at 15.625 kHz, and NTSC creates noise at 15.734 kHz. Computer monitors aren't always as noticable because the horizontal frequency can extend from 17-30 kHz. I couldn't give you a dB level, though.
This issue basically boils down to common sense. If you listen to your music at excessively high volume, you will eventually suffer hearing loss. People also need to realize that their hearing adapts to different sound levels. European iPods ship with a volume limiter for this reason.
Both HD DVD/BluRay are redundant and will bomb. So why should Dell start considering supporting either yet.
If Dell doesn't side with one technology and start including it in new PC's, customers will complain. I'm sure Dell would prefer to have half of their customers complaining about not having HD-DVD rather than all of their customers complaining about having neither technology.
Oh well. It's best to stick to convention and standards when it comes to file formats anyway. Not to mention how much easier it is to send files cross-platform when the file extension doesn't have "Windows" in it.
An internal combustion engine? One thousand PSI of hot hydraulic fluid coursing through steel veins running throughout my lower torso and legs? And gasoline? On my back? While I'm being shot at?
I'm game!
How about spending more money to decrease the weight of soldier-carried equipment instead (like using lightweight carbon fiber rucksacks)? Lower the water, don't raise the bridge.
Now, what if you're running a server room? A single 150 watt server running 24 hours a day for a month uses (150*24*31/1000)=111.6 Kw/hr. Imagine 3 or more of them... it can easily break the bank of a business that's struggling to stay afloat.
The name probably does a great job of preventing its illegal distribution on filesharing networks, though. Also imagine how hard it would be to pirate a piece of software called "Hot Lesbian Sluts".
On the other hand, if manufacturers actually used the complaints of Slashdotters as a basis for product improvement, we might start seeing more products with fewer faults and useless features.
Think of it as a free, obsessive-compulsive quality control department.

Pioneer just released a Blu-ray DVD drive for PC's: http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?typ e=te...
The only problem is that it's not a user-mod if it was an option when the car was purchased.
How long before someone finds a way around that?

Maybe you should consider installing a heat pump so you can use the server room to heat the rest of the building during the winter!

First, it reduces the risk... and only THEN does it proceed to eliminate it. It's a testament to IE's inefficient nature.
