quote this post

Stereo systems, speakers etc that are rated in PMPO watts or "music power" watts. Both are completely meaningless in that there is no definitive way to calculate RMS power or another value that can be objectively compared. But they get used anyway as they can be big impressive sounding numbers.

 

Yes I am aware that "RMS power" is not a technically correct term. But I (and many others) use it as it is an easy way of saying - power calculated by VoltsRMS*AmpsRMS

People who have emails or usernames with terms like "sexy" or "babe" in them, they creep me out to an annoying degree, especially as its often pudgy guys in their 40s with weaselly facial hair and BO.

That the one and only BDFL and Memuneh - surely capable of retrospectively fixing such an issue - chooses instead to express annoyance....

Sure can. But decided to leave it on. No one mentioned it. After almost 22 months.

 

Fixed now.

It can easily be reprogrammed to do nothing or imitate any other key. For those afraid of the Registry, there are simple utilities for this. A quick Google search will bring up several.

I'm sure that someone mentioned the original lack of an apostrophe in this thread's title way, way back. Do ya think I can find that post now? No. How annoying! laughing
