De Beers in a Dither

The way I see it is that if it is not possible for an ordinary person to tell the difference what does it matter if it is made in to rings. I think even if people were told this is natural or this is synthetic then there would be a market for both. Like the article said, some people will like the idea that the diamond is synthetic in the same people would prefer to wear a synthetic fur coat. --Colin Mackay--
I wonder if similar spin for synthetic diamonds can be used as for synthetic fur? People seem to care more about slaughtered animals than ravaged land though. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans.

Weingarten the jewel dealer says - "these stones will bankrupt the industry." Good job, the cheaper the better. The sooner we get rid of fans in PC's the better. Either it by a static diamond heat sink or carbon based processor I dont care just stop the whirring noise. :(( What is beyond the universe?
An integrated diamond heat sink and substrate would be ideal. At least, for a while, convection may be enough to keep the thing from melting down!

You should try the AOpen box my dad has. He asked me to fit a new HD awhile back. I walked into the room, did not hear a thing, unclipped the panels, did not hear a thing, reached for the IDE cable and a knuckle brushed the CPU fan. Zing! The damned machine was on! Gave me such a fright. Helluva quite machine that. My point being; Fans can be made quite :) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans. Crikey! ain't life grand?

God, what's wrong with you? It's all about the females, they need to know that the rock on their finger is a real diamond, even if you don't care. They need to know you spent a buttload of money on them that has absolutely nothing to do with your relationship.

If the relationship hangs on how big and expensive a diamond you give then I don't think much of the relationship. --Colin Mackay--

Paul Watson wrote: My point being; Fans can be made quiet Yes, but people buy cheap machines. And if you buy cheap machines then corners have to be cut and the fan is one of the easiest. --Colin Mackay--

I get your point but just so you know, that AOpen box was the cheapest on offer. The other thing is that if people buy cheap then they should expect cheap. I have no sympathy for people who buy cheap and then complain because it falls apart or is noisy or is not as svelte as a G5. And since you are a pro I am quite sure you know all too well that cheap fans cost dearly in the long run. We have a stack of cheap fans in the cupboard, I cannot convince the boss to buy better quality even though every month at least one of the machines in the office gets it's fan replaced. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans.

Good point. But here is a better one; All computer gear should be manufactured so it is totally quiet. ;P HELP, my monitor squeals. It is a Philips 109P4. Any body else have the same problem? is this normal? should I try and return it? :((:((:((:(( What is beyond the universe?

Yep but what if you are like me and have your PC stolen (with projects :((:((:((:(() and then the replacement from insurance (that I could not choose) is noisy. And what about the CD R/W drives x52 they can be like a jet taking off. I would rather have a x32 and a quiet room. They should multi head them and cut the speed back, thus maintaining the data transfer and killing the noise. What is beyond the universe?

>should I try and return it? Definitely return it or get it fixed. It is a good sign that your monitor is going to pack it in. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans. Crikey! ain't life grand? Einstein says...
