    Replay official in OU/Oregon debacle receiving death threats

    Actually, the referee's calls does not define reality within the context of the game. The set of rules that has been predefined and that both sides agree to is what defines the 'reality'. The referee's job is to make sure both sides abide by those rules. Obviously when the referee makes a...

    "Thank you, Israel"

    I love how all the Muslim and/or terrorist apologists choose to ignore the fact that Hezbollah captured the Israeli soldiers so they can hold them for ransom. Where is the outrage now? This was an unprovoked, deliberate act of war. But you guys don't want to call it war because Hezbollah does...

    Looking for a Small Carry Gun

    heres a suggestion noone has mentioned: get a gun that you can shoot. Buying a gun that doesn't fit you isn't going to do you any good. My suggestion is go to the range and rent different guns and see which one you like or fits you best.

    I really can't take credit for the idea of the exposed cooler, I've seen pics of several other people's comps who have done it.

    Check out my case mod and please tell me your opinions

    thanks guys! Really I'd rather not cut out the side for the cooler, it was the biggest PITA. The exposed blower should be ok since its one big of aluminum underneath, so any dust thats sucked in is immediately blown out. (none of the video card is exposed. I changed my front LEDs from red...

    Dremeling Fan Hole

    I used a dremel for my case, using the heavy duty cut-off wheels. Each hole probably ate 2-3 wheels. Check my sig for pics.

    Check out my case mod and please tell me your opinions

    the chrome trimming was a really good idea, but it was the biggest pain in the butt to install. I had to increase the hole for the trimming, and I ended up cutting the rails off on the shell. Even right now the hole is still slightly too small. Whats wrong with the fan grills? :)

    Original Gas Thread: Americans enjoying $4 gallon despite oil oversupply highest in 8 yrs

    Like I said before, the law of supply and demand does not apply to oil/gas like it does to almost every other product. If gas is too high, can everybody stop using it? no they can't. Yes I do. The low federal interest rates first increased the demand, then demand for profit in the real...

    Original Gas Thread: Americans enjoying $4 gallon despite oil oversupply highest in 8 yrs

    Vic, it is your argument that is flawed, not mine. You are the one taking a figure of speech out of context. Also, I am trying to have a discussion with you yet you talk very condescendingly towards me and the other posters. I'd like to point out that the economics of oil is unlike any...

    Original Gas Thread: Americans enjoying $4 gallon despite oil oversupply highest in 8 yrs

    yes I apoligize I did mean gas prices. Since gas comes from oil I got them mixed up. It still does not refute my argument. My point is that the govt can not simply raise the interest rates on the oil/gas market like they can on real estate to curb the inflation. I guess you are saying that...

    Original Gas Thread: Americans enjoying $4 gallon despite oil oversupply highest in 8 yrs

    Are you insinuating that the oil prices is actually an artificially inflated bubble that will burst and bring the oil prices plummeting down to the point where it is cheaper than water? No, I didnt think so. What's a more likely situation is that the oil prices will continually and steadily go...

    it's extremely depressing when you hear record profits from oil companies.... where does all this profit come from? its not like the consumer demand for oil all of a sudden shot through the roof. This government sponsored price gouging is ridiculous.

    Ticket Re-sellers

    I agree with what you're saying, people should and in most states do have the right to sell what they own (ticket wise). However, I suppose there are very few things that fall in the ticket category. What else could you purchase for $50 and sell for $1000-2000 without doing any work? And...

    Ticket Re-sellers

    Selling tickets on Ebay is not illegal unless it is restricted by state law. Private parties can and do re-sell tickets all the time on ebay. People use ebay to buy tickets and CDs because there is documented proof that the transaction took place, so that is somewhat of a safeguard for them...

    Ticket Re-sellers

    well since no one else has brought this up, but the reason for licensed ticket brokers (compared to joe schmoe scalpers) are for two main reasons: 1. guaranteed that they are not fake. 2. tax implications. Profit generated from joe schmoe scalping tickets is undocumented and therefore the...

    Theater Pulls Trailer for 'United 93'

    does anybody else feel that it's morally wrong for universal studios to make a profit off of a movie/documentary like this? I feel like nowadays anytime there is a some sort of disaster you can bet there will be a hollywood movie on it for the sole purpose of making money off of it. No...
