  • Well now i think im inclined to agree with you.
    I have been defining it as a true chicken is the animal that came from the egg and reproduces the same animal in egg form.

    But if you were to say instead that the final mutation that created the gentically distinct animal we call a chicken, would still be that animal regardless of how it was created.
    Similar to if a chain of self replicating robots is traced back to the origonal unit, its still a self replicating robot even if the first was built by hands.







  • I didnt have the analitical skills at the time to test its performance as i was ~12years old, but i remember it always ran full speed CPU fan and only very occasionally shutdown on overtemp, once i removed the plastic it went back to normal/expected fan speeds. It was probably the AMD Athlon generation CPU from memory, so it probably wasnt being pushed too hard to perform, mostly running Snes emulators and sim city 2000 probably.


  • I once inherited a PC from my older brother, he had built it himself and i decided it needed a sping clean. I opened it up and airdusted with the help of an old toothbrush, but couldnt get some fluff/dust out of the CPU cooler so i took it off to get behind it properly.
    The little plastic cover over the thermal paste was still on the heatsink sandwiched between the heatstink and the CPU.
    He hasnt heard the end of it.
