Interview on camera - Antec PSU's

Scott Richards answers some questions about Antec PSU's.

Most terms should be known here, I didn't know about the over current protection though.

On Area 1, scenario 1, you score a 17 (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4), there is a minimum score of 5, and a maximum score of 20. The midway point is 12.5, so therefore 12 is a weak agree, and 13 is a weak disagree overall. While all the areas/scenarios seem to mix up well enough, this particular area/...

Maybe the Swiss are overreacting slightly once you know there are a total of 4 (four) minarets in the whole country, built over a period of 40 years.

I'd like to point one thing out here: As you may have "observed" in the past, many questionnaires are manipulated by the very wording of the questions that are asked, that is why 2 questionnaires taken at the same time asking the same question, but with different wording will result in dramatically...

Body temp is about 37 °C, skin temp is about 28 °C.
In a shower, anything over 37 °C, perhaps 38 °C, you'll be screaming your lungs out. You may not get burns but this is too hot for the human body.
Fingers might be another story, not sure.

Ofcourse, all I wrote is made up to ridicule you in the worst way, just like Pat Condell is doing to other people (but he means it, or he's just very inconsiderate).

I thought it was the biggest religion in the world, and it aims to be the only religion in the world, so it will by definition of what it is, not be a minority in any country. Christianity still is the largest religion: 33% or 2.1 billion people. Islam: 21% or 1.5 billion. The Islam is the fastest ...

To my knowledge, Media Player Classic is the only media player which supports GPU acceleration. You need this program ( free ) to even be able to test if the GPU is powerful enough. It only supports bitstream mode, you need at least an NVidia 8(9)xxx or Radeon HD card for this to work. I don't think...

For the most part I'm with Bendit. Manufacturers do have to differentiate, sometimes try new designs (and perhaps fail in the process), in order to survive.

You won't get a reply to that because we all assume it was rhetorical.
