    Best movie you've seen

    That is partly because people are culturally conditioned to seeing the jerky 24 FPS, 180° shutter capture from film and partly the DR and color characteristics. The latter 2 are getting better and better.

    iPhone syndrome

    How important is the provider vs. the phone? Everyone seems to complain about the AT&T more than Verizon, yet there is no Galaxy on the Verizons. T..Mobil will be out of the business soon and I have not idea how well that transition will go.

    I guess you would have to RAID 0 a couple of those to increase the transfer speeds. It's probably not worth it.

    Apparently I am making a fool of myself, but keep in mind that I'm not from an IT background. Wikipedia indicates the Turtledove is a fiction writer. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with any of his works.

    What did he do for AMD? Anyway, my comment was originally that it had been nearly ten years since fans were needed. Then I decided to make it a decade, but left in the ten by mistake.

    I can't find anything about that. According to their site AMD started in 1969.

    Given the current Canon and Nikon situations I'm doubting there will be higher res bodies anytime soon, so 64GB is not really the best idea for risk of data loss. They are also more than twice the price of the 32GB cards.

    I agree that there there are millions of bad drivers, but not necessarily any particular model. Certainly if I had to make a sterotypical uneducated guess, the vehicles marketed for agressive driving are more likley to be driven by dangerous, selfish a**h*les. Nobody has tried to force me off...

    The last time I had a board with one of the those small fans was nearly 10 decades ago on an AMD system. Why don't they make the heatsink larger, or is that too expensive?

    It is ridiculous to stereotype people by vehicle. There are millions of people that drive vehicles like Camrys and Accords, etc.

    I have 400GB of 8GB and higher cards of at least 300x grade. I'm trying to decide whether to buy 10 more of the 32GB cards, thus increasing the total to 720GB. That would be enough for most 2-week outings so I would not be so dependent on the computer, PSDs, HDs, etc.

    The shock, the horror!

    What kind of branding is ASRock? It sounds like someone is sitting with their ass on a rock. It looks like a goofy design. Why are there memory slots on either side of the CPU? It looks like the heatsink/fan would be even more of a hassle to install than usual.

    Antifreeze has less heat capacity too. Depending on the system it has other useful properties though.

    Shaving solutions, or, what do Gilette and all those companies do with all their $?

    It works reasonably well. You may need a few more treatments up front and some touchups later, but it cuts down on shaving or the painful chest/shoulder/back waxing.

    It is opposite of how I run projects. I would establish the objective to be: Make the internal home environment comfortable for the human inhabitants. Then I would define the user requirements, functional requirements, etc. I could go into the usual 45-50 minute design control speech, but the...

    Large-scale water cooling (heat transfer)

    Oh for Pete's sake, just hire an engineer. This is not the pioneer days or MacGyver. ;) In most areas electric heat is very expensive compared to gas or even a heat pump (which works well if the outdoor temperatures don't get below ~freezing).

    Presumably they are being replaced with a new series of cards. I did order some additional SDHC cards for the D7000. It tops out with the Extreme cards though.

    Since it is a WD and will not be heavily used, most likely I won't need one. When the Samsungs die, I will dispose of them rather than attempting RMA.

    You are doing all that to move 100-150W (assuming 100% CPU) of heat from a CPU to another room? It won't all get there and the pump will need power too.
