I beleive you meant DEhumdifier. A humidifier "magically" put water back into the air, thus making it dissapear. A dehumidifier actually pulls the water from the air so it "magically appears.
I see why you posted AC... it seema slashdot is not for you, please move along.
And just how is soldering a capaciter all that hard hmm? granted i havn't had to do anything like that on a higher end system, but i have done it on a few old compaq 200MMX boards. Whatever those boards were they liked to pop caps.
Dude, just spend the $20USD on a DC/AC inverter that plugs into the 12V supply in your car (the same one as the cigerrete lighter or you mobile device cable plugs in) then you can even charge your laptop on it. at least i could charge / use my laptop ( 2.0GHZ not he fastest but not too slow either) the inverter i got can power up to a 90 watt draw.
Personally, i don't give a crap what the X-Box / 360 costs. Why, because the Controller is just a blatent rip-off of my Dreamcasts controller... and feels crappier to boot.
It all comes down to preferences, some people like how sony renders graffix and gameplay, and some like the old school sega look (like me).
there are plenty of people who will throw their money at all 3 systems also no matter what the cost.
Actually i would bet on say 3-4 days from the final release of vista that there will be someone posting a way to force aero on on "insufficient" hardware. probably just a registry hack /.dll unregistering....
Not to mention, I beleive the user would be pardoned in this case since there is no way to turn this "service" provided by the device off. The one who would be responsible would be the implementer of the DRM scheme... IE Microsoft. It would be a totally different story if the DRM could be manually turned off on the senders side, but it does not sound like the user will have this choice.
what kind of crack are you smoking? on the NT kernel line if the kernel panics ( IE crappy driver from 3rd party most of the time) the kernel will do a core dump and at minimul a selective memory dump, then automatically restart. Now on 9X / ME you get the pretty blue screen with the programmers shopping list written in HEX ( ok my bad i read tooo many web comics) and at the bottom of the screen it says press any key to restart windows. Not trolling or anything here but wouldn't the NT way seem better for an apple? I mean why do you want to be told to restart your computer when the crash handler could automatically do it for you?
And for the record in 4 years i only saw my XP box do this once, and that was after i updated my ATI capture drivers.
You sound lke you have a AiW card, have you had any luck getting it to work in Xorg 7.0 yet (the GATOS project was supposedly merged into this release) Because i still have not gotten mine to work, i have gotten it to be recognised and even to accept the firmware initialisation but any time i try to access the TV tuner it seems to shutdown the video output of the card. I would definately use mythtv if my capture card worked, but i am too cheap to buy a new card that is more linux friendly.
1/2 OZ. ?? I thought AOHELL CD's would weigh more for some reason. Curses, there goes my idea for scanning for crapware by weighing the actual bits....
What about the age old simple solution? Just gently peel a edge of the sticker up a little bit and use Zippo (or Ronsonal or whatever the local liquid fuel lighter fuel is) to dissolve the glue? Ironically I just did this last night to the " Designed for Windows XP" sticker last night on my laptop....
Hmmm try the root cause is USERS not the OS.
Case in point i have one file server behind my home firewalls that i have not even bothered to put SP1 on. It has been running (other than hard disk upgrades) nonstop since july 2003. And no i am not worried about any of the virrii or worms, basicly because for it to be infected the rest of my networks is most likely gonna be in flames.
I seem to remember there being an option in Xine to set the full screen resolution to whatever you want, couldn't that be used as a base "hack" for linux users? Thats as soon as open source drivers are written for these drive (assuming that they can't use standard cdrom access drivers).
An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, "Ah, you're an engineer. You are in the wrong place."
So, the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day, God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"
Satan replies, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."
God replies, "What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake. He should never have gotten down there; send him up here."
Satan says, "No way." I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him."
God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."
Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are you going to get a lawyer?"
A man died and was taken to his place of eternal torment by the devil.
As he passed sulphurous pits and shrieking sinners, he saw a man he recognized as a lawyer snuggling up to a beautiful woman.
"That's unfair!" he cried. "I have to roast for all eternity, and that lawyer gets to spend it with a beautiful woman."
"Shut up", barked the devil, jabbing the man with his pitchfork.
"Who are you to question that woman's punishment?"
Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Bill Gates all died in a plane crash and went to meet their maker.
The supreme deity turned to Al and asked, tell what is important about yourself. Al responded that he felt that the earth was the ultimate importance and that protecting the earth's ecological system was most important. God looked to Al and said, " I like the way you think, come and sit at my left hand".
God then asked Bill Clinton what he revered most. Bill Clinton responded that he felt people and their personal choices were most important. God responded, " I like the way you think, come and sit at my right hand".
God then turned to Bill Gates, who was staring at him indignantly. God asked "What is your problem Bill Gates?" Bill Gates responded " I think you are sitting in my chair".

No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
1. They replicate quickly.... Okay, Windows does that.
2. Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so.... Okay, Windows does that.
3. Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk.... Okay, Windows does that too.
4. Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems.... Sigh.. Windows does that, too.
5. Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware.... Yup, Windows does that, too.
Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.
So Windows is not a virus.... It's a bug.

Hmmm, if i have a gas leak in my house go ahead and use your candle. i will be FAR FAR FAR away. In my weldshop on the other hand it depends on what is leaking, cutting torch fuel gas... see above, welding sheilding gas i would help out with (since it is non volitile).
Assuming this is true, and that's a pretty big assumption, this could have pretty significant legal ramifications. In many jurisdictions, you have to have the consent of all parties when recording a conversation. In others, you have to have the consent of at least one party.
