Anyone have the stats on how much power the normal computer uses?

[DarkMatter]

A current clamp meter is fine for measuring the current, e.g.
for sizing conductors and fuses, but it's no use for working
out the power consumption and energy costs as these appliances
will have a power factor less than 1.

Assume no less than 0.6. Typically around 0.7 or so. Easy to add
into the calculation and be reasonably correct.

Another sloppy snipped up grandiose claim from Don'tMatter!

Read it again, retard boy. Nothing was snipped from that post. It
is a reply to your original.

Could you possibly be any more retarded?

Just make it up
as you go doper boy!

You are the retard that said "we", MP boy.

Yeah, like you said...."You don't even have to try" and you don't.....slug
the bong water kid!

This is sad, you retarded twit.

And hey, cite the posts....of course you won't and can't....just more

Yes, I can. And Yes, I will. And Yes, it will show you to be the
total twit that you are!

TardMatter rhetoric....
You speak of multiple personalities....a quick google group seach shows us
all your deep rooted psychiatric problems...

Sorry, dipshit, but you still have yet to learn that my posts are
not on google, and any you find there are very likely forged.

Go ahead, dipshit... dig one up, and I'll demonstrate just how much
of a Usenet retard you are.

Remember... not a reply to one of my posts... you need to get an
original post that is at least a month old.

Back to alt.drugs.pot with you GrandioseMatter!

Back to puppy dog trolling for you. How very sad you are.

Dell, for one, has both 1600 x 1200 and WUXGA (1920 x 1200) laptops.
For desktop use, you can get the 24" WUXGA Samsung 240T, but it's over
$3K for each one.

I already know about the wide form factor offerings. That was not
the issue.

I've also got a cheap 15" LCD, and I don't think it's as good as the
same $$ spent on a 19" CRT monitor, but it uses a heck of a lot less
space and is okay for low-intensity use.

What is low intensity? For CAD or any other purpose CRTs are finer
resolution. Nothing can beat illuminated pixels. Backlit LCD is lame
from any refined display POV.

And forget them for gaming.

For TV use (but not computer), plasma is still better.

Plasma? Plasma is lame, grainy bullshit. From a distance, it is
fine, but up close, in your living room, it is quite lame.

With laptop video at the low point that it is at in comparison to
desktops, I'd say that 1600x1200 would be near impossible to game with
on a laptop.

BTW, the IBM OLED is 19 million pixels. Tat runs at 24 Hz at full
resolution. The target market is the movie industry.

I want one.... hell, gimmie two!

You have been making that "forged" claim for a long time.. funny thing,
there is a guy with your name and your limited vocabulary and same grandiose
claims with the same name.....forged???.....get a clue ya alt.drugs.pot
poster!

 

[sQuick]

Show me the written rules for posting and I will follow them. BTW I am not
using usenet...so you will have to post the nonusenet rules.

You have just top posted a binary on a text only group,
Very bad thing to do.

I'm also rather interested how you can post this message without using
Usenet?

sQuick..

A 19" that can do at least 1600x1200 at 100Hz? That's at *least*
what it would take to replace a good 17" LCD (though I don't know
where your prices come from). Remember, LCD screen sizes aren't
rated the same way as CRT displays. A 15" LCD is almost the same
size as a 17" CRT.

A 17 is about equal to an 18 inch tube.
I get my prices from www.tigerdirect.com and from Costco.
Every time I go into costco they seem to be cheaper and better.

 

[bushbadee]

an idiot.

Only a tripple DimBulb post, Bush. You must try harder.

I do not even open them.
But I will try to hit a four bagger homerun.

 

[bushbadee]

Now inbetween posting that you used in this post is also ok with me and I do
that a lot when there are specific points to answere one at a time.
In fact i do it most of the time.

 

[bushbadee]

As I go down the list of posts I feel like I am tip toeing through turds,
opening yours and skipping dm's

I sure hope so.
My son just spent 7000 dollars on a 51 inch plasma tv.

RFC 1855 discusses and allows top-posting.

There are *dozens* of available guides to appropriate Usenet
posting. Some are better than others, some are worthless.

Well put Bushman....that's why I occasionally call him TurdMatter.....take
care, Ross

For a moment there I thought you were referring to our
double-bagger...errr....anyone care to wager who that might be??? (hint: It
starts with Dark and ends with asshole)!!

It is indeed cause to wonder when someone who claims to have
been using Usenet that long says they've always top posted and
never saw it any other way or heard any complaints. That is
utterly ridiculous! And it is all the more foolish given that
we all have access to the google archives and can go *look* at
how it was being done "13+" years ago.

I just now took a look at about 50 articles from the first few
months of this group's existence in 1995. 1 top posted article,
and that was a 1 liner, quoting only 3 lines of text and telling
the guy he was in the wrong newsgroup.

I then went back to 1990, and pulled up a dozen threads that had
more than 10 articles. Not a single article that I saw used top
posting.

In fact, one can search for "top posting" or for "bottom
posting", and discover that *neither* of term was even used
(with the meaning we are talking about) on Usenet until about
1997, and didn't become common until 1998... which incidentally
coincides with Microsoft finally having discovered The Internet
and we became plagued with people using Outhouse Express under
the mistaken impression that it was a newsreader...

Incidentally, I've been on Usenet a bit longer than any 13
years, and what I found on google's archives confirmed exactly
what I remembered. I don't think Col is a retard, nor simply
mistaken either. He's a liar.

Get a life "Bear Humper"...Your full screen posts about Usenet don't
impress. If it bothers you so much, you should just plonk everyone that
doesn't post "just like you'd like them"....Then the ng's, from your side,
would have one person in them!
And hitching your star to FecalMatter....nice! I see only one thing in
common here...Two total anal retentive assholes whith absolutely no
lives!!!!

That's funny, you have made many a plonk announcement to me

Not true.

"Don`Matter" wow a mafia troll!

Col.

Like DimBulbs grammer or spelling is ever even close to correct.
As usual, he avoids the issue and does his usual sidestep!!!
(Thought I would put some extra exclamation points in there...another thing
that apparently irrittates Don'Matter)
Why...I have no idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Col]

I like that, A huge round of applause for you sir.

Col.

 

[Col]

Carefull dont upset floyd, you`ll be attributed with some one elses post
then called a liar at the end.

Nice

Col.
