Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

Sure, if there's a competitive reason to do so.

After all, they do the same for power/data/audio connectors too. (or at least they did.. *cough*nokia*cough* )

So... someone started a really big Civ V game. This is hardly news, even for nerds.

In Search Of... consolation...

Worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, as bright as a quarter moon for a while, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry.

There would be considerably more worrying were it not for Slashdot filters.

Based on a study that shows the average Briton doesn't take nearly enough placebo.

Not if it's integral.

I've heard this too, though on mine it was only audible when amplified to absurd levels (well, relatively).

Have you ever had a computer that made odd sounds though the speakers when you move the mouse cursor? In my case, it was a very similar sound. Again, quiet - but if you have it loud enough or it's otherwise quiet enough, you can hear it.

I believe this was a Sansa e200r. It didn't have an SD card, but flash memory - in either case still a lot of digital signaling.

Nope, because the image data is already pulled from the CCD and has undergone some minimal processing before writes to the SD card start to happen, so I don't expect RFI from the SD card circuits to matter.

SD cards are commonly used in handheld recorders, in very close proximity to some sensitive condenser microphones.

Maybe I'm lucky and mine is just quiet - I don't hear any noise even when I record at 96khz and play at 11khz... but I can certainly see this having an affect.

... derp, I was thinking of adblock. No idea if adaway works.

Doesn't work on kitkat, even rooted.

That's less for comfort and more for not breaking the engine. Generators tend to have a coolant heater as well.

If the coolant system is frozen, it doesn't work, and the "ambient" heat transfer from the engine to the auxiliary equipment isn't fast enough. The engine will damage itself before the coolant system is thawed enough to begin functioning.

I would say "sold" but with BTC in the $250 range that works out to roughly $0.000025 so it isn't worth the hassle of setting up an account, and it's too small to withdraw. Besides, agents of His Majesty Felipe VI are the ones who really need to do the collecting.

I hereby declare the number 90185349087539845793845389573985739485739487593857893 in the name of the King of Spain. What will you give me for that?

That certainly was a fun experience. I use the term "fun" loosely.

One of the trees in the front yard exploded. The trunk just... blew. Wood shards everywhere. Not to mention all the transformer lightshows to rival a 4th of July celebration!
