Everything you said is correct but when it comes to the clothing argument I used to think the same. A white road surface reflects more heat than it absorbs. But there is no layer on top of it with air circulating under it to speak of. The argument for loose fitted dark clothes in the heat is that while white clothes reflect the heat from the sun, they also do the same back to one's body whereas black clothes absorb it from both ends. Now if there is wind, the cooling effect of the black clothes is higher than it is for white clothes. Hence their preference for dark clothes. As one of the websites said, if they had seen value in wearing white in the Arabian desert, they would have figured it out by now. Actually started reading about it because I saw some stuff on REI for sale in their outlet section and was looking for hiking shirts and they surprisingly came in very dark colors. Looked up why such dark colors would be used for hiking in the sun and came across those websites.

Nope, was referring to desert folk...bedouins, tuaregs etc. Although I forgot the fact that wind/air circulation plays a role so you would need to place the router in a box and then paint the box black. Or something. http://www.theguardian.com/science/2012/aug/19/most-improbable-scientific-research-abrahams http://io9.com/5903956/the-physics-that-explain-why-you-should-wear-black-this-summer http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v283/n5745/abs/283373a0.html http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1886/does-black-clothing-keep-you-cooler

Can't speak to his tendencies or if he would like a new flavor of windows. Only suggested it as a free alternative to buying windows 8. As I said before, if he doesn't like it, you can buy windows 7/8 as you were going to in the first place. Alternatively, if you have the serial key as Todd suggested, you can download a kosher copy of windows and use your own key instead of purchasing a new license. If you do end up purchasing a new license, check abenity.com. They have a lot of discounts for students/teachers if your institution is affiliated with them. I have seen MS stuff on there for deep discounts.

You can get Windows 10 for free from Microsoft if you don't mind waiting a couple more days - I think the release date is the 29th. Don't know if it will be better or worse but no harm in giving it a try. If he doesn't like it or if it causes issues you can buy 8 anyways. Edit - didn't realize the 29th is tomorrow. So you'd have to wait until tomorrow. Upgrade instructions: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-upgrade

Try http://www.eset.com/us/home/products/smart-security/ Free for a month. Used them when I had a PC and continue to use them for my mac. Never had any issues. With Windows, for better or worse, once something got inside, formatting and starting anew was the only thing that kept my mind at peace. Since your dad doesn't want to do that, I'd keep throwing different AV at it until you are happy/less concerned.

Not in the casino anymore so can't see that thread but non metallic paint I would think wouldn't interfere with the antennas. Also while recently trying to figure out which color shirts to buy on sale from rei, I found out that darker colors remove head better from your body in hot weather - it absorbs the heat from the environment and your body equally. That's why most if not all desert tribes wear very loose fitted black clothes. Again all of this is speculation on my part so do with it as you wish

Airport express and a can of spray paint?

Have purchased five SB6121 in the past 3 years. For myself, Julie, parents and one of Julie's friends. Worked perfectly. 6141 is a bit more expensive. I don't know why but if it is moar bettar then go for it. I currently get ~90mbps on my 6121 so speed is not an issue.

Ok fairly bright boy, care to explain how my opinion of Cumberbatch's portrayal of Holmes being better than Brett's reflects in any manner on your like or dislike of the stories? I'd love to see that leap of logic.

Because the best way to determine someone's liking of a piece of literature is to judge their liking of the portrayal of one of the characters by an actor vs another. Makes perfect sense.

Forgive me for the poorly written paragraph. I prioritize not dropping classes over erudite writing on the internet.

You seem to make the mistake of thinking that I care about other people's frame of reference. There are plenty of people here that I get along with just fine. The people I wronged in the past, I apologized to. Some accepted the apology or just simply moved on while others didn't but that is where my responsibility ended. If I wanted to grovel and ask for forgiveness repeatedly, I'd take up religion. As to whether my local maxima is the universal maxima or not doesn't really matter. In the grand scheme of things, my life will go on with or without your largesse. I have made no effort to hide my feelings regarding the people I don't get along with. They seem to do the same so I consider that an even playing field. I haven't had an issue with you nor have one now but you seemed intent on going off the deep end for an opinion I offered all because you woke up on the wrong side of your bed (I hope that that is the case as at least it offers an excuse for your uncalled for outburst). You say that the mistake to think your mind was the universal maxima was a mistake that you made many years ago. I submit that you haven't stopped making it if you think that being an admin on an internet forum requires people to be nice to you when you aren't nice to them. Your god complex has only been embedded deeper. If sharing contradictory thoughts on here is a ban worthy offense, go for it. Watch me care. But I must warn you, you might be waiting for a very long time before I start to. As for bright boys having value...I've already proved that to people that matter in my life.

Wait, I practiced this all night last night. Hold on...I almost got it. God dammit. I still can't care. I'll try again tonight. It's really important to me that I can some day care for what some random guy on the internet thinks of me especially when my opinion doesn't agree with his. Please give me time until then. I promise I'll get there. And don't go smashing your hand into a wall out of anger and breaking it. Please be patient with me. I'm trying very hard to grow up.

And Cumberbatch is better. Not complaining. Was just expressing disbelief in the previous post.

What? In what universe?

New internet.

I wish there was something I didn't like about the DL 3 that made me want to spend more money. $400 is just a little bit more than what I paid for the dac but don't know how much better the dac really is especially since I don't care about DSD. Pretty happy with the speaker rig so going to stick with the current set up. But seems like a good deal. The only other dac I'd be interested in would be the emotiva xda 2. If anyone wants to buy the DSD DAC and wants to trade their emotive dac + cash with me for the DL3 I'd be glad to help out.

Is that the case with larger ssd as well nate? Won't be cheap but if you already have the touch and like it...

After remaining clean for over 3 years, I had a cup of some very well reviewed cold brewed Ethiopian coffee that my advisor had prepared. And then ordered 2 lbs of the same coffee before leaving his office. Julie is not going to be happy

Thank you . Should I be worried about the cable modem as well or is there nothing in there that could be compromised security wise?

Yup changing everything right now tethered to my phone's LTE.

Just read the article. That's the exact behavior. She entered her billing address but nothing else luckily. The router was begging to be replaced as it is. So just going to play it safe and replace it.

Fucking fuck. I unplugged the router a while ago but had a feeling that a hacked router would be the only thing that explains the behavior. And yes, I forgot the 'had' in there. Ordering a refurbished Airport Express right now. Wish they had them at the store...The wiping of the laptops is not terribly bad as they are both on the chopping block anyways but its going to be far more annoying to change all our passwords.
