Customizing and Installing the Lenovo W540 • Helge Klein Having made the switch from my trusty Lenovo T520 to the W540 here is my account of what works well and what does not. If you wonder what made me choose the W540: read this. Hardware The W540 has two M.2 slots. One hosts the WiFi adapter, the other the WWAN adapter if you ordered that. Since the laptop can be equipped with two 2.5″ drives I went for that option instead (see below). Second 2.5″ Drive The W540 comes with a DVD drive, which is totally useless to me. Display Never buy a TN panel! Power Supply When the W540 is ordered with a quad core CPU it is delivered with a 170 W power supply. 135 W power supply: weight: 446 g size: 14.3 cm * 6.3 cm * 3 cm = 270 cm³ 170 W power supply: weight: 565 g size: 15.2 cm * 7.4 cm * 3 cm = 337 cm³ [Measurements are my own] Software BIOS Settings The defaults were largely sensible. Creating an UEFI Bootable USB Drive from an ISO Rufus’ dialog now should look similar to this: Performing a clean installation of Windows Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 (may?)
Brittney Lee Hooray for good news! Bill and I will have a table at APE (Alternative Press Expo) in November, and thus will be selling our stuffs there. That means that from now until the end of October, neither of us will be getting much sleep in order to make said stuffs. I know it will be a blast though, so I can't wait! That being said, this will be the first of several prints I will make available at APE. I have always been fascinated with Hawaii and its culture, so I will be making a series of illustrations of Hawaiian gods and goddesses for APE. Update: I added this post to IF because it fits the topic better than my posts normally do. Vitamin Supplement Prevents Noise-Induced Hearing Loss In Mice Our delicate ears are very sensitive and can be damaged by a variety of things, such as noise, trauma and certain diseases, which can all cause us to lose our hearing. Intense noises, for example, can induce hearing loss by triggering the degeneration of the nerve cells, or neurons, that are connected to the tiny hair cells of the cochlea. The cochlea is a fluid-filled, spiral-shaped cavity of the inner ear that looks like a snail shell. Since it is known that damage to the delicate nerve endings which lead to the spiral ganglion is what ultimately leads to noise-induced hearing loss, scientists from Weill Cornell Medical College and the Gladstone Institutes wondered whether it might be possible to somehow protect them from harm. NR, which is found in trace amounts in certain foods, is a precursor of NAD and also a source of Vitamin B3. The researchers also took this one step further by identifying the pathway by which NR prevents nerve damage. [Via Weill Cornell and Cell Metabolism]

Publiek tijdens de openingsnacht van het Amsterdam Dance Event, op 16 oktober in de Heineken Music Hall. Wat Kamilla (28) dit weekend in de Amsterdam Studio's tijdens ADE zag, was echt extreem. De dansvloer leek wel een slagveld. Terwijl zij rustig van haar biertje nipte zag ze hoe minstens 1200 jonge mensen ('max 20 jaar oud') met uitpuilende ogen en malende kaken afzonderlijk van elkaar dansten. De rij was meters lang.
