This is primarily what I suspected. I didn't really think GoogleTV was meant to replace a cable connection, but augment it (I may be wrong).

@Tyler Woodfin: I was born 10 years before you. I don't feel old. You're just a kid.

I feel like my LensBaby would almost be cheating. I'm going to use it anyway.

@jethro1138: Yeah, in reality, it will probably sit in a shell pocket which will be above freezing or at least close to it. I'll probably pick this up when it hits stores. The GPS tagging seems like a really handy feature for hiking.

So, this was convenient. I was looking at reviews for the TS2 earlier today, as I am looking for a P&S to bring hiking. Unfortunately, the hiking I want to bring it on are the hikes I don't want to lug my D90 on, and those are the winter hikes. -10C would be a good day. I haven't seen anything rated for much colder,

@BrknPheonix: I'm not saying charities don't have overhead. I'm saying it is disingenuous to say that $.99 out of every $1 is getting there. This is only referring to the 1% overhead on the donation and says nothing of how much gets spent on the charity's overhead. Looking at some of the comments here, people are

@BrknPheonix: It seems to me to be a little disingenuous to declare $.99/$1 "getting there." It's true in the strictest sense, but of the $1 you give, it may be only $.25 that actually end up helping people.

Are the selected charities reporting 100% usage rates on all donations? If they normally get $.75/$1 to the people who need it, but cut a deal so that these dollars are $1/$1 to people who need it, then the charity is just ransacking other donations to fund operations. Every charity is going to have some overhead, so

@venc: AbioCor. This is real.

I would recommend Countdown to Zero to anyone with a Netflix account. It's a great documentary about the world's nuclear arsenal. It is only tangentially related to this article.

@FaceTimeSmoke: I have no recollection. The PC was a product of constant upgrading, so there's no way to know how much that was. I'd say it was probably $30 in fans and fan grilles, and another $30-$50 in Home Depot parts.

@rtmlepage: It doesn't need to be sealed. If you're pumping air into the case from outside, it will naturally keep room air from coming into the case (for the most part). You will get condensation on the outside of the case, though.

@oppdis: I ran my system (which moved more air than this) down below zero degrees F outside ambient temperature without ever getting any ice build up. There is very little moisture in the air in winter. My hygrometer right now is reporting 18% indoor RH.

@bombastinator: When you are pumping enough winter air through the case, you don't need to worry about condensation. I had a similar setup back in 2004 with two hoses and a 120mm fan on each end of each hose in a push-pull setup. Room air did not get into the case at all as it was all being pushing in from the outside

@rjp is protected: I have no context for this image except I know that I was using the fresh air intake. It is dated late November, and I know I had a colder record than this. I have no idea why there are temps X'ed out.

@bombastinator: You can insulate it all you want, but the air coming into the PC has to go somewhere. I would have either had to vent back to the outside, and seal up the rest of the case, or just let it out into the room. Generally, I like the code, so it wasn't too much of a problem except on the exceedingly cold

Here are the pictures I dug up from the rig I had in 2004. [ytrewq.org]

I had one of these.... 7 years ago. I have pictures somewhere. I had two dryer ducts, and a 120mm fan on each end. I managed to bring my CPU temperature below freezing. No need to worry about condensation, since the air coming in from outside was dry.
