Matt,
I found your article compelling. I however am curious as to how you found the disease to have two primary "symptoms". When the symptoms you describe are quite possibly each their own disease, and effect all the parties you bring up in your arguments.

1. Repeatedly mistaking intelligence for knowledge.

2. The belief that anybody not in [their field and/or] industry is stupid.

Seems that It would cut through a lot of the fat, to say all parties are capable of having said diseases. And I think you hit on it yourself in your third to last paragraph.

I'm not sure what to think about the portrait you are painting against HN, and that it carries a disease? It's a community. A community of like minded people. People who generally want to help, and advance the collective knowledge and intelligence of the group. Sure, their shared passion for a topic can boarder on the emotional and crude.

Perhaps a better argument would be to advocate an outreach to bring some new tools and perspectives to the community. To increase it's collective intelligence and knowledge, in order to fight the disease. Another argument would be to try and bring people back to a composure, that wasn't as emotionally filled or crude.

I guess what I'm trying to say is a better article would have been one that offered solutions. As you made a clear definition of the disease you where talking about, it would be nice to see that clarity in offering solutions.

Actually It's best to add a slightly smaller then teardrop sized "dot" to the center of the CPU Die, and then apply the heat sink strait down and evenly. Newer Proc's don't tend to have a problem with a little seepage, however older one's tended to run into some possible shorting issues.

I dropped 20 deg when I put some new, and better quality paste on one of my systems.
