Re: [gentoo-user] RE: Thunderbugs
There real name is thripids. And are a darn nuissance. They seemingly have stopped moving after being fried by watching youtube clips of the real Thunderbugs. Flashplayer actually has got some use after all. --Original Message-- From: Pandu Poluan Sender: Pandu Poluan To: Gentoo ReplyTo: Gentoo Subject: [gentoo-user] RE: Thunderbugs Sent: 11 Jul 2011 04:09 -original message- Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Thunderbugs From: Mike Edenfield kut...@kutulu.org Date: 2011-07-11 06:26 On 7/10/2011 5:20 AM, john wrote: Had a pesky invasion of little insects behind my screen.

They're visible and pretty much equivalent to a bunch of dead pixels. It's virtually impossible to get them out again. This is the reason I never bought a TFT monitor with cooling slits on it; only tightly closed ones with external power supplies. No insects can get in that way.
