Aluminum wire, before it was phased out, was front page news on every newspaper on the country and the first story the nightly news. It was, and is, a well known problem.

There are very, very few who are the audience for this laptop.

Slashdit had its hayday, 4chan never did. Anonymous likes to think they had an impact, but they never did.

Not the members of 4chan. Arguably the most worthless site on the internet.

I pay mine. $40/month for 1.5mbit.

If you want food, grow it yourself.

Sports are entertainment. Murder, not usually.

The fact that none has makes your speculation as bad the author of this article.

I have six CFLs in my bone-dry, unfinished basement. They are all in open porcelain sockets and they last, at best, six months. I've tried different brands, cheap and expensive, it doesn't matter.

My best guess is that the voltage is killing them. They are rated for 120v and my outlets measure at ~127v.

$5/bulb is the tipping point for me. That was when I switched to CFLs. I don't need or want gimmicks like wifi and color changing, just a low-price, warm colored bulb.

Electricity is cheap here.

The bulb is usually coated in plastic as well. I use a few in my garage and wood shop.

If you are referring to the USA, we know we are being watched. It's in the news every day.

The hump is there to run the exhaust and to hold the catalytic converter/muffler/etc. It's above floor pan level to protect it.

I one cracked a head because I crushed a catalytic converter when going over a speed bump (hanger broke and the exhaust was sagging). Engine overheated on the exhaust side and the temp gauge never raised.

That's a good point. My car currently looks like it's covered with dirty white sand and it's get covered with snow when I drive. My backup camera is useless unless I clean it every time.
