Interesting, but as lisab mentioned, does that make it more harmful than regular cigarettes?

Lots of misinformation is being spread about e-cigarettes without any evidence to support the claims. The following is another actual legitimate study.http://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/23/2/133

Resurrecting and old thread, but just came across this study.Comparison of select analytes in aerosol from e-cigarettes with smoke from conventional cigarettes and with ambient air http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0273230014002505

I suppose it depends on the OPs budget. Two 970's in SLI will more than outpace a 295x2, but you're also taking about almost double the cost. The only caveat is that CrossfireX isn't as widely supported as SLI, which has come along way over the years in terms of compatibility/support. From what...

The R9 295x2 doesn't have 8GB available. It's a marketing gimmick. The same way having two cards with 4GB of VRAM in SLI doesn't give you a total of 8GB, AMD is simply implementing Crossfire on a single slot solution.

And after building a flowbench out of PVC pipe, what do you do with the spare parts? Build a potato cannon of course! :D Also had to perform a series of tests using common flammable workshop liquids. A 20,000 volt stun gun works much better than a grill lighter.

An older pic, but back in '07 or so I built a flowbench for testing cylinder heads and manifolds. I had it set up to measure up to 36" of depression, but it could probably have pulled close to 96" if I had two more motors and a taller U-tube manometer. Sounded like a jet engine with all of the...

I think there's a grey line between being senile, and just not giving a sh*t anymore. :D

Another example would be comparing a 27" monitor @ 1080 to a 32" monitor @ 1080. The 27" monitor will have a tighter pixel density, therefore producing a better higher quality image vs the 32".

For something high quality you're going to be staring at the entire time you're using your computer over the next five or six years, $600 is more than reasonable. I've spent over $1,000 on a monitor before due to the desktop size demand. $1,000 was actually on the lower-end for the ones in the...

You can actually get a 28" 4K for under $600 now. The reason why I'm still waiting is because the technology hasn't progressed yet to have a 4K monitor at 120Hz. Right now, everything on the market is 60Hz. Quite a few companies are borderline false advertising saying their monitors are 120Hz...

Definitely overkill at just 1080. If you're wanting to max out the FSAA and AF, you'd save almost $400 by just going with two GTX 970s in SLI which would do just as well at 1080. The bigger video cards don't really shine until you start cranking the resolution. For example, at really low...

No real difference with gaming. The cache size is also the same, which doesn't even really matter with games anyway. Gaming performance nowadays is entirely GPU bound. A slightly overclocked 3770k will perform well on-par with a Haswell-E. The only real issue where you would worry about a 3.0 x8...

Honestly, that's not a bad idea at all.I didn't think about high school. We were toying with the idea of getting a recent automotive graduate from the local tech college and taking them under our wing.
