No, I don't think so. The author seemed to be using the term interchangably with increasing clock speeds. And no way would you increase the voltage by as much as 50 % or even 30 %... Last time I looked at overclocking, it seems increasing the voltage by any more than about 0.2V is a recipe for disaster (dont take my word on this however, I could be wrong). I also think (I know I could with my old PII's and celerons) that you can do a mild to moderate overclock without increasing the voltage. |

| 558901 | 2007-06-18 05:39:00 | JackStraw: Greg says he found three grammatical errors and one factual error in a couple of pages of PC World. I found one grammatical error in four lines of his posting, and his "factual error" wasn't. This makes me stupid? Like that other sad guy, Greg appears to think that abuse is a substitute for rational discussion. I doubt I'll ever learn anything from anything he posts ... certainly not grammar, nor courtesy. He's the fourth on my ignore list. ;) That way I only see anything of his if someone quotes it. |

My point being, my boss(72) is always picking up errors in some of the publications we do, he has noticed a real decline in grammar over the last 20 years especially the last 10. I don't know what all the fuss is about to be honest, but for a man that has spent 50 odd years in the industry it surely upsets him.:D People just aren't fussed about that sort of stuff anymore |

| 558905 | 2007-06-18 16:19:00 | Heh, I wonder if I'm on the ignore list, Lmfao. You have to be direct with him to get on list. So if you wish to avoid, do not question him. For me,it'd one of my joys in life. |

Great stats - this just tells me to buy Netguide - Kiwis love the underdog . :rolleyes: |

I found one grammatical error in four lines of his posting, and his "factual error" wasn't. This makes me stupid? From Wikipedia "Being referred to as a pedant, or pedantic, is generally considered insulting. However some people take pride in being a pedant, especially with regard to the use of the English language. In an attempt to avoid censure, people who wish to make a correction often preface it with "not wishing to be pedantic, but ..." or "without being a pedant, ...". Pedantry can also be an indication of certain developmental disorders. In particular those with Asperger syndrome, or high-functioning autism, often have behavior characterized by pedantic speech.[1] Those with Asperger's tend to obsess over the minutiae of subjects, and are prone to giving long detailed expositions, and the related corrections, and may gravitate to careers in academia or science where such obsessive attention to detail is often rewarded. Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is also in part characterized by a form of pedantry that is overly concerned with the correct following of rules, procedures and practices.[2] Sometimes the rules that OCPD sufferers obsessively follow are of their own devising, or are corruptions or re-interpretations of the letter of actual rules." Hmmm, Well as for that other "Sad" guy he was correct. You were, shall we say, mistaken? |
