I have it on good authority that those two people are Santa Claus and Jesus.

Yes, copper heat sinks get hot fast because they have high thermal conductivity. But once they are hot, they don't cool down very fast. The limiting factor is the copper-to-air interface, not the CPU-to-copper interface. Why do you heat sinks are designed to maximize surface area? Why do you think case fans are so important? Because these improve the heat transfer from the metal heat sink to air. Copper's thermal conductivity obviously isn't the limiting factor. Water cooling is far superior because water has a very high thermal capacity, so it stays cool over a much longer period than a metal heat sink. In addition, the warm water is pumped out and replaced with cool water constantly, so the thermal differential stays high (where in a metal heat sink, once the metal heats up to 70 or 80 degrees, it loses its ability to cool the CPU).

Lol...that reminds me of this: http://cdn.slowrobot.com/72420...

If a Tesla hits a mime in a carpool lane, does anyone care?

For those wondering, Pluto has a diameter of 2302km and ranges 30 - 49 AU from the sun. So these rocks range from 2 to 20 times as far from the sun as pluto, and the one mentioned in this post is about 1/133 the volume.

Well if this gives Ebay a run for its money, I'm all for it.

Actually, he sold his big pharma investments in 2009: http://online.wsj.com/news/art...

Maybe you should try reading the ingredients on the Kool-Aid before you drink it. >.>

I wouldn't say it will do 'almost nothing', since the stats clearly show otherwise.

Still, if police were *required* to submit video evidence for any trial that involves an officer or have the case dismissed, it would certainly cut down on police corruption. Police wouldn't be able to use the 'oh, my camera was broken' or 'I forgot to turn it on' as an excuse.

I thought he died...

I wonder if Elon Musk would donate a Tesla as the presidential car. One the one hand, it could be great advertising. On the other hand, the thing might catch fire on the highway.

Maybe. But don't forget that the analog to digital conversion is itself a lossy process, so the only REAL way to listen to music is to carry around a record player in a briefcase. That's what all the real audio hipsters are doing.

At least he's not misusing apostrophes when making fun of someone's spelling. :)

Interesting...why do you say that?

I was referring to the 99.9% who eat mass produced eggs :) But your point is valid.

Most vegans I know talk about how hard it was to give up eating meat (especially bacon), eggs, butter, etc. They do it because they believe that abusing animals for food is unethical. Not because they don't find it tasty. Fake eggs lack the ethical baggage, which is fine for ethical vegans who still want to eat eggs, or for the general population who continue to eat meat and animal products because they are so tasty, but feel guilty that animals are harmed in the process. If you had the option of choosing eggs which didn't result in harm to animals, would you, assuming that the eggs are identical, and the price was the same?
