Just want to say:
Please don't breathe solder fumes.
That picture of everyone hunched over their PCB boards while soldering makes me cringe.
Use some form of protection via a fume extractor or face mask and when possible solder in a well-ventilated area.
I've met people who've completely destroyed their lungs and ended up with nasty lung cancer after years of day-to-day solder fume exposure.

You are right. And without data and performance numbers there is no way to extrapolate beyond "potential" scenarios and outcomes.
Please forgive me, but what are you really trying to get at? Otherwise it just seems like naysaying and rabble rousing to me..

Honest question:
Why do space rockets and rockets in general always so closely resemble penises?

Question: Is this compatible with OS X 10.9.x or earlier? Or is it only for the latest pieces of shit that are 10.10/10.11?
edit thanks for the correction netheril96!
I'm curious about the state of compatibility because I've drawn a line in the sand -- and refuse to upgrade from 10.9 (since many things seem to be getting only worse and less stable in MAC OS land :).

It appears to be used extensively for posting comments just like this one!
Personally, I am a fan.
