    Executive wage limits may be extended to all US companies

    Sorry about going off topic but this made me cringe after I realized what I was reading. I refused to accept the truth in that quote thinking maybe it was a typo. I'm not talking about the proposed idea by Geithner to extend that restriction to all companies. I'm saying I was a little...

    Why are you patriotic?

    The most basic form of patriotism, for me at least, comes from the love for my fellow Americans. Having said that I'm a little confused that this wasn't mentioned. I think it's human nature to love your family and relatives, other people you come in contact with meaning other Americans because...

    Wow does anybody know What component is to blame for this strange freezing?

    I promised an update and here it is. I replaced the stock Dell power supply with an Antec Basiq 500 and the freezing is still there. So it wasn't the power supply :laugh:. Or maybe I got the worst luck and the new PSU is defective. Can anybody tell me if this is normal for this PSU...

    Wow does anybody know What component is to blame for this strange freezing?

    Thank you for your responses. @ mpilchfami Maybe you're right but what puzzles me why doesn't it die already. I've had this for about a year. And I thought hardware especially cpu or mobo either works or doesn't. I would switch them both out in an instant if it wasn't for dell's...

    Hm this price looks like ownage. Any inspiron 530 owners here? How's the power supply, is it of decent quality and will it able to handle a mid range video card? On second thought I'll jump on this like a cowboy cause its too hot to pass up.

    What is everyone addicted to?

    I have been playing that shooter for 3 years and still am. Tried to quit numerous times but kept coming back :laugh:. Despite the poor netcode and patch issues its still a great multiplayer and I'm surprised that only a small percentage of buyers decided to play MP.

    just received my most expensive traffic infraction yet!

    The problem with traffic tickets isn't the sometimes ridicilous enforcement by cops, rather it is the fixed pricing structure of tickets with regards to income. Tickets are a source of revenue and just like income tax they should be progressive. Probably most other sources of civic government...
