Noctua has a 6 year warranty on their fans. I don't have personal experience to say for sure, but I'd expect that covers buzzing.

As others have said, positive pressure is generally preferred these days. Silverstone has a nice explanation of what the two systems look like:

An often overlooked aspect of fans is not just how loud they are, but what that noise is like. There are limits to how good you can get with the noise/airflow ratio, since moving significant volumes of air is going to make some noise, but what noise it makes can make a huge difference. Whether your fan simply makes…

What did the five fingers say to the garnish?

The two-body problem really is a bitch, isn't it?

Anybody else surprised to hear deflecting blame on the list of preferred excuses? I usually figured that didn't go over so well, although I can see it working better when the blame is being deflected to a shared annoyance.

Buffalo known for pizza? Don't think so. Wings and beef on weck, however, are amazing (probably about the only things I miss from the WNY area, aside from family).

I must admit, my inner Apple hater was hoping for a blank page.

My recommendation would be a reasonable size SSD for OS and programs (e.g. the 250GB Samsung) and a big HDD for storage. You'll pay half as much, get more storage, and still have the speed where it counts.

Straight men can't dress nicely (and have the wardrobe to do so)? I'm more of a jeans and t-shirt guy, but I've been told that every girl is crazy bout a sharp dressed man.

Chances are he's getting paid to get his PhD.

Most of what you learn in a PhD isn't in a textbook. The vast majority of your time is spent doing research, and even when you are doing coursework the reading is likely to be papers.

Now rotate the lime so the stem is facing you and make the same cut just to the right side of the stem again. You should have five pieces of lime: four oval-ish pieces and a lime core.

This is nice, but it only tests for 2 drugs (GHB & Ketamine), while there are dozens of drugs that can be used as date rape drugs. I guess this is useful as an added precaution, but it certainly isn't a replacement for being vigilant about your (and your friends') drinks.

I don't really have strong feelings on this one, but I'd choose ebook most of the time. The feel of a physical book is nice, but the convenience of ebooks is just awesome (as well as the lower environmental impact). I do, however, feel quite strongly that the best source of either type of book is a library. Don't…

I think that's a fair statement.

Your first and second lists don't exactly match up. Unless you consider a free plane ride "how to really move around in a city" and being invited to eat at a stranger's house "finding the best places to eat."

How else do you find the best places to eat, get invited to local events, or figure out how to really move around inside a city?

That's quite a lot of random assumptions to justify his douchebagery (not to mention it still isn't justified).

407 Veyrons have been sold according to Wikipedia. So, no, not even close.
