A sextuplet is a tight-knit group of 6; typically used to refer to the birth of 6 kids together.
I guess that's why they call it "nitpicking".

News for nerds, remember? Ten is simply the base-2 representation of the same number that two represents in base-10. It's exactly the same statement.
So is that base two too? I can understand a reference to seeing "2" in a binary datastream when talking about bending strength, but I could never really get past second base myself.

because you've dumbed down the language to make it more user friendly, you've likely also taken away a lot of its power. The archaic syntax of languages is often for a very good reason.
IMHO, good languages are fairly terse, because they allow you to see a bigger picture at a glance. Mathematics has plenty of examples of this -- you often devise some ad hoc notations to make a complicated problem easier to visualize. In programming, the obvious equivalent would probably be functions and classes etc. but it helps if the language is not too verbose to begin with.
But my old boss is definitely a "genious," and has had more than 10 years experience as a computer technician. (I wouldn't trust him to insert RAM sticks.)
That's why they are called "ram" -- you don't insert the sticks, you ram sticks.
Noise can also be defined as comments that are moot and not conductive to the thread. Hmmmmm.... I can't really think of an example right now. Maybe you can post something asinine yet without understanding and someone can point out that it is noise as well.
In this case (pun intended), I too would be worried about thermal conductivity.
To get back on topic, I'm aware of the general meaning of "noise" in physics/electronics, but I couldn't help the comment, since people generally mean "unwanted sound" when talking about "noise", and unwanted sound is one of the first things to come to mind when discussing badass computers.
Don't forget the acoustic noise.
As opposed to non-acoustic noise - the kind of noise you cannot hear?
