    2) Usually we use the rear fan as an exhaust because heat rises and since it is conveniently placed at the same level as the CPU fan so makes for a nice pulling fan; it pulls the heated air away from the CPU fan. I'd recommend as Nekko mentioned, mount the CPU fan so that it's blowing in the same direction as the rear intake (either mount it on the other side of the heatsink or reverse the direction so that air is flowing in 1 direction.)

    Remember Kiss Dum? People said the same thing about those mechs. He just has this style.

    Mike is correct. When Windows installs, it will put itself into the root directory of the drive and generate all appropriate folders from the root directory. You can tell it to put itself on your D-drive, but it will still place itself in the root directory of the drive/partition (D:\Windows, D:\Program Files or C:\Windows, C:\Program Files). These days, I see particular drive letters being needed by certain drives as less of an issue as long as I'm not making drastic changes that would necessitate me doing a bunch of path remaps. I usually stick to the default paths for most of my apps (C:\Windows\, C:\Program Files\, C:\Program Files (x86)\, etc.). Only when I'm installing to a different drive/partition, do I use a different path. But I still make it easy on myself and just change the drive letter, not the whole path (prevents me from accidentally misspelling a path). For example, let's say WoW wants to install itself in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Blizzard\World of Warcraft\" and I want to install on my D-drive. I just change the letter from C to D (i.e. "D:\Program Files (x86)\Blizzard\World of Warcraft\"). It's much less complicated than trying to remember something like "D:\Games\MMPORPG\World of Warcraft" and hoping I spelled it right or remembered if there was a space-character in directory names. Plus, if I ever need to remap the directory, I just change 1 letter.

    technoblue is correct. There is no standard for where saved games or player profiles go. Only within the past 10 years have developers started to place those files into a directory other than <install directory>\<game directory>. Some use My Documents, My Saved Games, Appdata, etc. But there isn't really a standard. As we've all mentioned, play to the strengths of the drives. SSDs are fast, so place the most used files onto the SSD. What's constantly accessed? The OS, drivers, general apps (web browsers, security software, day-to-day applications) or apps like Photoshop, that would benefit from the speed of a SSD when loading. The HDD has lots of room, so use that as your storage and for stuff you access less (like games).

    Probably narrow it down to the top 2 or 3, unless there's a clear choice. Too bad we won't be able to see Round 2 auditions. Even if we can't pick, it would be nice if to see how well the top 15 can hold a note.

    It could happen. It just won't look like what they [think/hope/desire/have-wet-dreams-about/etc.] it will look like.

    I have a hunch where the flashpoint where take place but we'll find out on the season finale of the 2 shows.

    It's io9. Fanboy's answer to a question no one asked.

    Hmmmm....

    You can run any fan on any header. It just helps if you use certain headers for certain fan placements to help promote air flow, hence why they want you to place certain fans on certain headers. It is best to just follow the flow of air. Air comes in from 1 direction and exits out the other so connect those fans accordingly.

    I believe it was mentioned earlier. 8000+ people applied. Out of that 8000+, they probably narrowed it down. Now I guess now we gotta thin the herd. By a lot more.

    Please stop giving them ideas for free. Hey look, Transformium.

    It was a new, standalone story. And it was suppose to be set in 2031. But as I said, it never made it to pre-production.

    Never made it to pre-production. Any work that was done is likely in a box in someone's storage shed/attic/closet.

    You can always buy some dust filters like the magnetic ones from Silverstone. I would consider 2 exhaust (1 back, 1 top), 2 intake (1 front, 1 bottom). Having extra air from the bottom fan blow at the GTX960 will not hurt it.

    It's unfortunate, but age is certainly catching up to these actors who have played a certain character for a while. Even though Robert Downey Jr. is a perfect match for Tony Stark, he knows he can't play him forever, and hence no standalone movies on the horizon for Iron Man. No one can do 1 thing forever.

    David Remember, heat rises. As technoblue mentioned, the back and top fan mounts should ideally be exhaust. The front and bottom fan mounts should be intake. This setup can be adjusted if you used a different cooler, liquid cooling, or have a funny GPU cooler. Circular airflow usually doesn't work well. Especially if the fans are next to each other because as one fan is pulling in air, the other fan is immediately pulling it out. So it doesn't have much of a chance to pull heat out of the system and essentially the effect on temps is zero.

    Take out the battery and SIM. Open any port plug caps. Place the phone in the oven overnight to 24 hours. DO NOT TURN ON THE OVEN. Any moisture in the phone should evaporate.

    Ah, my mistake. WB copyrighted a few things with HG.

    Maintaining a trademark registration (older, but easier to understand version) (Here's the new version) http://www.uspto.gov/learning-and-resources/trademark-faqs If nothing was filed between the 5th and 6th year, then yes, Maguire Ent. and WB decided to let it go. Which is why Sony has just over 5 years to get something going or the rights are going back on the market.

    Minmay will be played by a Miley Cyrus. Yeah, I went there. They got 5 years to do something before the license renewal period comes. Start the clock.

    Doesn't matter. Macross designs are owned by Big West. If they want Kawamori to draw mechs specifically for Robotech, they have to pay him for the job of designing a non-Valk VF.

    FIRST LOOK: Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Yeah. I got no problem with this.

    From all interviews and panels at PaleyFest, the only response to this is "Just wait." Sounds like they'll get to it. Maybe not this season or in Season 2, but they'll get to it.
