I always got the impression odd-order harmonics were considered more troublesome. Not that I claim to have any kind of knowledge here, just a passing interest I've picked up from seeing adjectives such as "benign" applied to second order harmonic distortion in audio equipment. Or does this not apply...

If you can educate enough people that, in spite of their perceived differences, people are very much the same the world over Reminds me of Richard Pryor's skit about flying to Africa: "Don't matter the colour of your skin, if you're black, white, whatever... people are exactly the same the world ov...

that's the point of keepvid.com and clipnabber.com - no software and not inconvenient

+1 for downloadhelper. interface could be better but it gets the job done. FYI the conversion add-on for the add-on puts a watermark on the converted videos.

other than that, or if you don't want to install anything then clipnabber.com works along same lines as keepvid.com

I'm not actually listening to it yet, but Depeche Mode's new album just arrived in my grubby paws and I can't wait to get home. The fact that I'm planning to knock off early to go home and listen to an almost thirty year old band's new record says a lot about my opinion of current pop "artists". Gru...

Too true. The "church" of Scientology comes in for a bit of flak* for being an insidious cult that abuses its victims and takes their money, yet isn't that just what the Catholic church has been doing for centuries?

Just reading all the stuff on their website, all the home made PDF flyers with random microscope images, I think it's odd that there is this sheen of it being aimed at industry, when the language and applications discussed are clearly aimed at PC enthusiasts. I think I will file this one under snake...

Interesting links thank you Xan.

Aris, what's gassing out

Don't take that lightly

Just bought myself some ear defenders. Sincerely hope it's not too little too late

Cheers Mike, reviewers and community mods alike. Been reading since '03 and in that time both me and and my family and friends have benefitted enormously from your hard work. Thank you!

I've always found eBuyer to be quite fickle and on again/off again in its stocking of specific brands. I'm betting its down to what quantities of stock they are able to hoover up cheap off the market. For example a few years ago they would frequently have no Abit boards for months and then a massive...

Funny you should say that, as I was considering a build using the WD and setting it up in an acrylic display box on a marble plinth attached to the top of my case, moodily lit with some halogen spots, but now I'm not so sure...

Bit tech slated it in their preview after building a system. Seems like it will be truly impossible to get a neat or satisfying build.

Also did a stupid yesterday: had the case upside down for some filing and then some drilling...on the worksurface...covered in metal shards....plastic on top looks a bit rougher than it did. *sigh* D'oh. I removed the plastic top completely then glued it back on once I w...

Interesting to see the 7-sec head unload continues with the 2TB drive. Wonder if WD have made changes to the max load/unload cycles "failure threshold" value in the drive's SMART data?

I got that bit, I just didn't understand the Conservatives and death thing. Whilst I would agree that for many people in this country, voting Conservative is roughly the moral equivalent of eating babies, I don't know that it follows voting for them will lead directly to deaths on the scale of the w...

If your PC is "off" because you shut it down, and it is still connected to the mains then there is still Voltage available to the motherboard (often this can be seen in the tiny lights indicating the supply is present). This allows the kind of power control circuitry used by PCs, where the PSU is "j...

I think the PSU will still draw a little if it's just soft-off as opposed to the cable being pulled out.

Ok, so conspiracy or not the results aren't in question, but would you not agree that the caricature of the conspiracy nut does little to help the cause of people who would fight for change? A lot of the "conspirators'" ability to brush off claims of wrongdoing comes from their facility to rationali...
