Comment STUPID (Score 2) 110

For all the reasons outline here, unless MS is going to embed their own metadata into every image I use that promises the image is safe, and that if it isn't, MS will foot the bill. Even so, that won't help me if I print something and lose the original digital version with the metadata. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

The whole engine gets hot if you drive long enough. You can tuck things (on older V8s with roomier engines) on top of the intake under the air cleaner housing and it will get warm enough to cook some things. You're right, putting things on top of the decorative heat shield of a modern car won't do as much -- but still, you could wrap some hot dogs in foil and they'd cook enough after a while, even in a modern car.

The canonical tome on the matter was first written 25 years ago and has been revised twice since.

I've had the opposite experience. I just get basic APC UPSs and I've never had one cause me a moment's trouble. I can't say I WOULD have lost data if I HADN'T had them, but it HAS saved me the bother of having all my machines unexpectedly do a hard shutoff when the power dips for a second. You just have to test on occasion and replace batteries as needed because they WILL fail silently -- if the battery is dead, you won't know until the power goes out and your machine goes down.
