Consider how seeing an object depends on light being reflected from it's surface. Consider how its appearance would be altered as its level of reflectivity of incident light reduces...

The Prosecution rests, M'Lud.

Re: Apple's design is slipping

It's not that the design is "unreasonable" or "out of spec", it's the use case of that design that's causing the concern.

The backlight voltage line being directly next to a signal line doesn't melt traces or cause any sort of problems... until you let a user get near it and (inevitably) spill liquid onto the device. At that point the liquid is allowed by the case layout to reach the connector where it either directly shorts the backlight voltage to the signal line, or corrodes the connector leading to the same result.

So what? Well the signal lines don't have any protection built into them, and as they lead straight back to the GPU in the CPU on the newer models - your entire laptop is immediately dead.

Which would be easily avoided by, say, not putting the backlight voltage next to the signal lines?

Re: Not Unique...

I also remember that the old AT towers had a power switch on the front that was at ${mains}V across the terminals, as this was the good old days before ATX and soft-power on.

The first time I ever had 240V was when I was digging under the IDE cables and the hand that wasn't holding the well-earthed case came upon the bare terminals of the switch. Certainly took me by surprise...

As far as the companies mentioned go, I thought that we were the product - not the customer?

Aren't they more thinking of G, A, F, F (8vb), C ?

Re: Gimme speed

"but in their current configuration I don't believe we will ever see a CPU that can be clocked much above 5GHz"

You might want to Google up the overclocking world records...

c.f. Little Titch, and his ever-popular "Big Boot Dance"?

Sorry, I don't accept your argument... "perhaps" $10 a month is a pitiful sum, approx 1 hour of UK minimum wage, and will not be supporting the output of a channel in the slightest. If you're willing to do it for almost nothing, you're willing to do it for actually nothing.

As Brexit hasn't happened yet, you must be posting from the future. While I appreciate the tips on upcoming trends in commodity markets, could you possibly furnish us with lottery results or excerpts from a book on sporting contest results?

Re: Obviously...

It's probably better putting it in the code...

if OS.env.bits > 64 then dont_run_malware();

Re: So...

Concrete5 needs shell_exec() turned on to even start up - which I've just had to turn on for a customer :(

(and it shell_exec()'s generated code in parts as well, so that's not open to abuse in any way is it?)
