Yes, I know this is an old article, but I found it fascinating (Tom’s Hardware).

Basically it shows just what can happen when a heatsink is suddenly removed. I was very impressed with the Pentium 4 performance. Presumably, AMD has improved in this area. (One would hope).

So Helpful

I’ve just been going through the System log on a computer at work and found it was having trouble locating the time-server. I used the net time command and must say I found the message so helpful.


Z:\>net time
Could not locate a time-server.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3912.

Z:\>net helpmsg 3912

Could not locate a time-server.

Sarcasm should be noted. (Also, the sky seems very red at the moment, despite the rain, so it may well be the end of the world).
