4 37 The Sad and Sorrowful Tale of Aetherknight

4 37 The Sad and Sorrowful Tale of Aetherknight You dont even know me! Yeagermeister This is a tale of woe, of inside jokes, mockery and profanity. Youll learn the value of a quality Richard Nixon impression, uttering the words "I SHOULD DRIVE THE SIEGE ENGINE." Youll feel the exhilaration telling a guild leader to fuck himself and his guild vault. You will come to appreciate the notion that some people are not meant to play World of Warcraft. And you will, from this day forth, see footwear as nothing more than a meme. But this is a tale of revelation and of self-awareness, so I warn you, dear reader, that these tales do not often have a happy ending. Our story begins as all poignant tales should: it begins with a dude falling off a horse. Late into the evening of October 12th, 1947, a 24 year old pilot crashed to the ground without an aircraft in sight. A closed gate and a horse with bad eyes resulted in a mid-fence collision, catapulting the rider off. When the World War II...

3 37 The Illusion of Truth

3 37 The Illusion of Truth Early art for one of several patent applications for a moving staircase, a.k.a. the "Escalator" Committing Genericide Convenience is a dastardly foe. In 1950, it fooled a company (as it had the rest of humanity) into changing the perception of its own greatest invention , a blindside which ultimately cost them one of the most important trademarks of the 21st century. An inventor named Charles Seeberger began working for the Otis Elevator Company at the turn of the century. Thanks to his careful purchase of several unrealized patents bearing a similarity to his newest invention, Charles was able to not only provide his employer with a world-changing machine, Otis itself would retain any and all legal control of the trademarked named. Charles consulted a Latin lexicon and devised a term which loosely described a thing as "a means of traversing from" -- it was to be pronounced "es-CAL-a-tor", much like He-Mans arch nemesis. Thus, th...

42PF9631D 37 TV Issues My roommate purchased a Philips 42� Plasma TV for her bedroom three years ago.  The TV worked great until a few weeks ago when the TV started not powering up; hitting the power button would turn the power indicator LED greed for a few seconds, and then it would flash red seven times.  Luckily this is a pretty common issue as there are several posts (another here) and videos on the web detailing this issue: I removed the back from my TV and it looks fairly intimidating: A slow review of the mainboard revealed he capacitors mentioned on the posts; and they are blown� The Capacitors are electrolytic 3300UF, 10V 105C units.  The part on DigiKey is P13117-ND.  I ordered four of these (two for extras in case I mess one up or one is damaged before delivery) and they are being delivered USPS priority mail.  They should be here by the end-of-the-week. I have pulled the power supply board and I will install the new ones when they arrive....

Negeri kepulauan dengan lebih dari 7.000 pulau ini selain berpenduduk (230 juta) terbesar ke empat dunia juga memiliki garis pantai terpanjang di dunia. Secara garis besar, Indonesia akan dikenali dunia dalam beberapa hal, baik sisi peninggalan sejarah, pariwisata, kebhinekaan, vulkanologi, gempa dan sebagainya. Setidaknya ada 36 keistimewaan Indonesia yang tercatat sebagai rekor dunia. 1. Letusan Gunung Terdahsyat di dunia Hari ini pada pukul 10.20 WIB satu seperempat abad yang lalu, 1883, sebuah gunung berapi meletus di Selat Sunda. Gunung Krakatau (orang barat menyebutnya Krakatoa) yang saat itu menjuntai di Pulau Krakatau memuntahkan amarahnya dengan kekuatan setara 200 megaton TNT. Asal tahu saja, jumlah TNT sebesar itu setara dengan 13,000 kali Little Boy, bom atom yang meremukkan Hiroshima di Jepang pada 1945. Benar-benar dahsyat. Kedahsyatan ledakkan Krakatau bisa dilihat juga ...
