for me, it's the influence of an unhealthy obsession with anime and manga.

So it occured to me, that the reason why Scythe had all these Japanese names for their products is because it is a Japanese company. Now names like "Kabuto" and "Mugen" may be pronounced somewhat differently in English to Japanese, the structure is still mostly the same. But what about "Kaze"? The ...

Here in Massachusetts we pronounce the English place names just like they do in England ....... except that we mangle it. For instance, Worcester is pronounced Wuss-ter instead of Wor-ses-ter, but most of the locals pronounce it Wista. i always called it more wor-shes-er. :/ that shit always confus...

walnut is definitely one of my favorite woods. (maple just barely beats it out.)

Supermicro has some Atom mini-itx motherboards paired with the ICH9R southbridge, which means 4-6 sata native ports: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/ATOM/ICH9/X7SPA.cfm?typ=H&IPMI=Y Those would make a sweet NAS, imho. there's a zotac intel board at newegg (new chipset, like h55.. i d...

I think the idea is green. A lot of computers idle a lot, some close to 24/7 so all that can be done is good to do. Reducing voltage doesn't have much efficiency but even a bit is good when done in several computers. To reduce any computers power consumption (and heat & sound level at the same time...

hmm... i dont particularly care when snails cross my snail poison. though i'm thinking it's probably absurdly painful for them when they sizzle out and die.

i'm aware of that. i was trying to quote someone who quoted you, and truncating the quote got screwed up. i'm gonna fix it now.

Ah, the old "it's their 'culture', so it's not our place to criticize" argument. Yes, of course it's up to them, but what do *you* think? Are you saying that torturing an animal to death for entertainment is *not* sick and barbaric? If you're simply saying "I'm not Spanish, so I have no right to an...

You sir, just made my day. Copper makes me drool, especially this much. This is beautiful craftmanship, but I foresee a big problem. Since the copper fins are below the case, the heat rising from it will move past the components, warming them up again. I don't think it'll make the whole circuit ver...

really inefficient use of desktop space 0.o

The way I've heard it explained is that you can use EITHER the DVI OR the HDMI for a single digital output. You cannot use both the DVI and HDMI at the same time. That is true for most IGPs but not for graphics cards in general. no, it's definitely true for the 5000 series when it has a DVI and HDM...

However DVI and HDMI are not free standards and the manufacturer has to pay for every port it puts on devices. Display port standard however is free and hopefully replaces DVI completely. Display port also does not need as fat cable for 2560x1600 as DVI. Is Display port the connector used by eyefin...

DVI is newer and I suppose better than the old VGA connections for video displays, but why is it better. It seems like as you go to higher resolutions, with DVI you need to start using dual cables. But not so with the trusty old VGA. What is so good about DVI that you would accept that disadvantage...

every time i see a reference to comparisons of thermal compounds, i keep thinking of this.

while i'm no fan of the lobbying system, i really can't think of a better way to do it. people vote with their dollars in addition to their votes. it gives a gauge of how much people want some specific legislation passed or something.
