why isn't it flipped, it'd be upside down whenever you're playing with it, that's silly
[QUOTE=digigamer17;38446776]So... Reading the availability section on Lenovo's UK site, apparently if the product becomes unavailable, they cancel your order. Why[/QUOTE] How can they deliver something they don't have?
[QUOTE=latin_geek;38447348]why isn't it flipped, it'd be upside down whenever you're playing with it, that's silly[/QUOTE] Just like old laptops, I don't see how anyone ever thought having it like that was ever a good idea.
[QUOTE=HolyCrapAWalrus;38444936]I'm trying to get a job at best buy. Yeah I know they're a shitty business, but hey money is money and I'd rather do something related to technology than flip patties.[/QUOTE] Why not Microcenter?
It's amazing how working out an outline can help a project. I started doing it for video projects. This is the one I currently use. I just sit there and type out small ideas for things to cover. And when I know what to cover, I instantly want to work on it. [url]https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxkadV3iYUtYclZUQ05GNWtnRkE/edit[/url] Towards the bottom I get more detailed for my monitor, DAC, and NS2 review. I need more time to experience NS2, but I think it'll be good. Also my review title is going to be "IMHO" I think it's something I can brand in the future.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;38446997]Dat power consumption. a 125W TDP is not good enough.[/QUOTE] Yeah, power consumption is pretty damn high, but I personally give more shits about performance in that price segment.
Okay guys, I don't know where to ask this, but you might know it. Light moves as a Electromagnetic ray right. What happens to light when a nuclear bomb goes off? It makes electromagnetic pulses, right? Does it happen below the 400nm wavelength what is the violet color wavelength? Or over it? Does it happen just as a white flash? It got me and my sleepy brain confused and my physics teacher got confused too. Maybe you know more of it?

Maybe you know more of it?[/QUOTE] I'll suspect you'll have all kinds of wavelengths going on, but you'll see lots of light with wavelengths longer than 750nm. I'm not very educated in this matter, but if I've understood it correctly, the hotter it is, the longer the wavelength (pretty much) - this will all be very "white" light. Think of when you heat up iron or something, the hotter it gets, the longer wavelengths it emits. You'll also see (or won't see) some gamma radiation, which is light with extremely short wavelengths (sub-0.1nm). Violet is around 430nm plus minus a bit, if I'm not totally off.

If you heat up iron it's going from a longer wavelength like radio, microwave, infrared, to red, orange, yellow, blue, etc. Hence why you have kelvin ratings for lighting. 5000k represents hot filliment or the sky. Indoor incandescent is sort of 2500k or yellow.
Doesn't EMP just mean an omnidirectional pulse of EM radiation (Basically just shitloads of photons, photons in all directions) [editline]14th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Brt5470;38448376]hot filliment[/QUOTE] filament
EMP is a pulse of electromagnetic radiation. Light is an electromagnetic radiation of a specific set of wavelengths. Nuclear EMP emits loadsaradiation, mostly gamma rays which we can't see but some within the visible spectrum which we can see - the white flash. Basically, most of the EMP is invisible.
So, apparently, I'm getting access through my school to this stuff for free, any of it something I might actually want? [img]http://i.imgur.com/V3k6l.png[/img] I haven't paid any attention to VMware, Virtualbox has always been my choice.
I've tried VMware before, I preferred using Virtual PC 2007 for Windows guests and VirtualBox for Linux guests.

[QUOTE=nikomo;38448558]Explain?[/QUOTE] IIRC (I don't know for sure, I use HyperV now) Workstation has very tight-knit support with ESXi, from flat monitoring / remote working to migration / deployment of local VM's, along with a buttload of other stuff. Try it and see if it works for you anyways

It emits all sorts of stuff, ranging from infrared to ultraviolet.
[QUOTE=tratzzz;38448589]Most of the EMP is visible, but what the hell does the visible part look like? And how the hell would it feel?[/QUOTE] The white flash, I presume.
[QUOTE=tratzzz;38448589]Most of the EMP is visible, but what the hell does the visible part look like? And how the hell would it feel?[/QUOTE] You would feel very intense pain in your eyes, then see nothing, maybe very short white flashes as the burned rods and cones in your retina would "malfunction", give off small signals as they cease to work.
[QUOTE=tratzzz;38448589]Most of the EMP is invisible, but what the hell does the visible part look like? And how the hell would it feel?[/QUOTE] It's visible. So you'd see it. Probably a blue-white flash and glow. That's it.

You can pick up thermal radiation with an infrared camera, though, and the fact that it picks up more and more infrared the hotter it is, kind of goes with that. I don't why thermal energy isn't released as a short-wavelength radiation ('cause that would be quite logical), but it's what I can gather.

Photons are energy packets. Emitting a high-energy photon requires the transfer of an equal amount of energy from an object. Like another particle. The warmer things get, the more energy they emit like this at once, thus bringing up the energy and lowering the wavelength. Or something.
