    New York forgets to exempt law enforcement from their magazine capacity limits

    Why are the cops scared that they will have magazine capacity limits? High capacity magazines are banned. They should have no reason to have them, because no one else does.

    Can the APU be fried...

    Update: I tried troubleshooting some more. One thing I notice is that when I leave the CPU 12 V connector unplugged it acts pretty much the same as if it was plugged in, except I can't shut it off by pushing the power button. I noticed I do not get any beeping from the motherboard, even...

    Can the APU be fried...

    Thanks Puppies! I am not concerned with RMA. I am honest to a fault at times. :( I was concerned the PSU based on the volt readings. it would only spike to about 1.2 Volts and shut down. I just want to get this system up and running.

    what political or social injustice riles you up the most?

    The biggest social injustice that riles me up the most is prison rape. The justice system knowingly allows these crimes to happen. But it's ok because these subhumans in prison are the victims.

    Can the APU be fried...

    Thanks guys. I will probably purchase the APU first. If that doesn't work then the motherboard. I have to get a PSU too because that is dead. Could plugging in that 12 volt connector wrong break the PSU? If not I wonder if the PSU was faulty to begin with? But this is Corsair...

    Can the APU be fried...

    ...if you plug in the 12V CPU power backwards? (don't ask how :( ) I believe the black wires were plugged into where the yellow wires were supposed to go. The orientation was such that pin 1 went into the pin 4 socket on the motherboard. The computer would start up for a split...

    Are we EVER going to get new consoles?

    Have you ever switched positions on an issue?

    Well, I went from Conservative to Anarchist. Kind of weird being at one time pro-state, taxation, war, torture, slavery. After reading Ethics of Liberty and For a New Liberty by Rothbard, It became abundantly clear to me that the state is the cause of all of life's problems. When the entire...

    Religion shoud be outlawed

    Right and wrong. If it is a form of government, it is a form of voluntary government. Being that it is voluntary, outlawing it sounds like a dictatorship-ish suggestion. All religions and governments should be voluntary.

    The Fed is Taxation without representation.

    They print more money to fund pet projects like banks and war, the purchasing power of my money goes down. Sounds like a tax to me.

    3+GB of memory not needed for gaming?

    I guess I am questioning the methodology of the review. The review is testing gaming on Windows OS both 32 and 64 bit, Xp Vista and 7. The average FPS seem not to change much if at all. Makes me think I don't need to jump on purchasing a 64 bit OS when 32 bit works fine according to the...

    3+GB of memory not needed for gaming?

    I understand, I was just curious whether it was worth the hassle to reformat and go 64bit when a 32bit OS would run games fine given the memory limit. Given the benchmarks showed virtually no difference between 32bit and 64bit. And 32bit should limit the 6GB of Ram they used to about 3GBs. I...

    3+GB of memory not needed for gaming?

    I came across this Firingsquad's benchmark that compared 6 different operating systems. XP 32 and 64 bit. Vista 32 and 64 bit, and windows 7 32 and 64 bit. Knowing that 32bit can only recognize about 3GBs of memory, when they were comparing primarily the performance of the OS's, I kept...

    Republicans kill 9/11 first responder aid bill

    I understand. I hate people less who don't vote party lines. I would have never approved of the Bill the amendments were attached to in the first place. Very few bills promote freedom. Most strip it away little by little.

    Why do some people think Dr. Paul is an anti-semite? He's not and neither am I.

    There are some old newsletters or something from a former staff of his, but the whole situation is sketchy. He also does not support Israel, so that makes him an anti-semite from the start. Plus, it is so easy to take Paul out of context. One has to understand his ideology. He does not...

    Audio of the explosives which brought down WTC 7

    I think I read a similar report from a US General saying it was a controlled explosion. With photo evidence even. Backed up by scientists. The US is not new to these types of actions. They intentionally allowed US citizens on the Lusitania, even though foreign authorities pleaded the US...

    How big of an issue is overpopulation? What would you do about it?

    Overpopulation is not a problem in a truly free market. And yes, the left and right are to blame for the problem. Government is to blame for the problem. Prices would adjust to compensate the amount of people. Water shortages would not be a problem because private property would protect it...

    3.25 GB of RAM instead of 4GB

    My vista is reporting 4 GBs. I know about the RAM limit. I am just confused because my 32-bit PC is showing 4GB, while on the new computer I just built, it is recognizing only 3.25 GB. Whether it is utilizing all 4GB is not of concern for me at the moment. I have a Mint x64 DVD I can...

    Cali wants to remove those clips that prop the handle on the gas pump nozzle

    Maybe if gas stations weren't so riddled with regulations, we'd see better and safer clips. Heck, want I want to see is express gas stations that shoot out gas 1 gallon/second. Remove price controls so that the poor people running the stations have a chance to make money.

    Republicans kill 9/11 first responder aid bill

    My understanding is that Democrats have a majority, so they can get it passed without Republicans. Personally, as long as this is a straight money given to sick people, I am ok with it. If there are lines in the bill that raise taxes, empowers government, I would be against it.

    3.25 GB of RAM instead of 4GB

    On a windows vista x86 system, I put 2x2Gb DDR 2 sticks in the PC. Under My computer, only the odd number of 3.25GB of RAM is being recognized. What usually is the cause of this? I have another vista x86 system with 2x2 GB DDR sticks and it shows 4GB. Should I run a memtest on them?

    HDTV Tuner USB vs. Pcie?

    Thanks! I like USB option because of price and portability. I can just unplug it if I need a slot. i have more than enough USB ports. A big con with USB is that say I am moving a lot of files off the USB stick, and I decide to watch tv. That might affect transmission if the transfer...

    Hard drive upgrade for a Thinkpad R31

    Hard drive upgrade for a Thinkpad R31

    I appreciate the quick reply, was not expecting a response so soon. My concern is what hard drive would be compatible? Not how to assemble it in. Last think I want is to spend $70 and get a hard-drive and find out it doesn't fit, or i bought the wrong ATA version, or doesn't see all 160 GB
