    All of this new cool hardware is why GOD made CRT's in the first place She knew we would need fast responding analogue displays.

    That configuration thermally speaking is a peace of garbage.
    There will be so much turbulence in that case it cannot cool properly.
    Furthermore one of the cpu fans blows hot air into the other cpu. Smart guys does it take a girl to show Y'all how to cool a computer without doing the Tim The Tool Taylor lameness.
    I am surprised the case isn't ether diamond plate or stainless steel.

    One think that Intel would do something a little more modern like peltier assisted liquid cooling for the processors and and one large low RPM fan to replace those four imported peaces of junk.

    besides real hardware geeks use 115 VAC fans with trac base controllers that monitor the case air temp and regulate the fan speed from that.

    Oh well i guess the engineers at Intel can't build it unless they can bolt it on.

  3. Re:Stupidest lawsuit ever on Apple Sued Over iPhone Non-Replaceable Batteries · · Score: 0

    Oh but please stick to the fact at hand. The battery is not user replaceable. Another example of a Steve Jobs screw job on the people who buy products simply for their looks and not their function. Apple has again shown they lack the engineering common sense many other companies have. They call themselves a green company and yet tons of green house gasses have to be expelled into the air to send products back for battery replacement. It's no wonder most Geeks don't own Apple products.

  5. Re:The results... on Music Listeners Test 128kbps vs. 256kbps AAC · · Score: 0

    Your comment is consistent with what I have seen.
    It is a sad commentary on the state of those who work with recording equipment when they have no idea why analogue is better. There has been a decline in this country in knowledgeable people in many of the engineering disciplines.

            It's a sad commentary I am not very young, as a matter of fact when I received my first ham radio license all the equipment I owned was built with vacuum tubes and gas was $0.35 per gallon. People who were technically adept in those days really knew how things worked and why. Things have changed many of the "techies" are little more then highly trained appliance operators. This no doubt is a side effect of throw away society we have evolved into. Nobody fixes things anymore except for a few of us who are able to find our way around without a schematic diagram.

            There was a time when the recording engineer repaired the equipment when it broke down. She / He knew what was inside those boxes and could get the parts in a day or two usually. Being the only woman in my junior college electronics program back in 1974 wasn't enough reason to excel electronics has been my hobby ever since 1965. I worked at the college electronic music lab, and rather enjoyed it. Sometimes I miss those days.

    Take care,

    15 ips mag tape.
    Most people here are too young to remember open reel tape.
    most home machines would only record at 7.5 ips which is still better then CD.
    The open reel tape used in the studio was recorded at ether 15 or 30 ips.
    good CRO2 tape and a quality recording and playback deck and you really couldn't tell the difference between live and tape.
    That was the birth of the phrase "is it live or is it Memorx" came from.

    The whole test is a joke.
    The sampling rate on a cd is 44.1KHZ not enough samples to properly reproduce the higher order overtones in the music.
    Garbage in Garbage out.
    A CD may have superior dynamic range over analogue recordings but they beat the pants off any standard digital recording in terms of frequency response.

    The Day the Music Died was the day Digital recording entered into the scene.

    Good Headphones or not anybody with good hearing can tell the difference between an analogue recording and a CD in terms or realism.
