Reply to Monitors: Is it just me or do they die too easily? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Most manufacturers will quote an MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) of somewhere in the 30,000 to 60,000 hour range, EXCLUSIVE OF the CRT. The typical CRT, without an extended-life cathode, is usually good for 10,000 to 15,000 hours before it reaches half of its initial brightness. Note that, if you leave your monitor on all the time, a year is just about 8,000 hours. The popular rationalization for what is most often just laziness is that power-on is a stressful time f

Reply to theme xp in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I thought Themexp was a cool site. The site design was sharp amd modern. They had what appeared to be some good "stuff" too. Too bad I couldnt get at it. To kinda sum it up, i would modify a broadband catchphrase and call it "Blazing Slow". I remembered my dial-up connection as being faster. I simply couldnt insult my cable modem by asking it to perform at such slow speeds. I could be wrong. I seem to recall something about this guy Einstein. He had some nutty notion called "Relativity".

I don't think this thread should "die", there are obviously a lot of different opinions and some interesting points made. As was mentioned way earlier in this thread, Anime and it's fixation with female youth, is a cultural issue. "Japanimation" was a word I used to hear often. Is it appropriate for this site? Maybe not all of it, but some of the arguments against it... well Lets see... The Road Runner/Coyote episodes i remember and love, did that contribute to Columbine? Did it mak

OR... Why has Microsoft reissued this bulletin? Subsequent to the release of this bulletin and the associated patches, a performance related problem was identified with the Windows XP Service Pack 1 version of the patch. This problem is unrelated to the security vulnerability discussed in this bulletin, however the problem has caused some customers to notice performance degradation on Windows XP SP1 systems after applying the patch. Microsoft has corrected this probl

thanx Koasati and Pasley, so we are looking at a WB3.5 issue. But Pas, your comment suggests a remedy. Eliminate the use of pink/transparency altogether?

I dont see any Hippy. Event is welcome to his opinion and I respect it. But I would be concerned if it resulted in something like that being pulled. What are we talking about here? Its a pic of a girl. A cartoon no less. Is it provocative? Dunno for sure. Offensive? definately not this particular pic. But if someone does find it so, that lies with them, the viewer, not the Artist , or the
