    How many would support Jesse Ventura for President

    I agree with nearly everything he says besides the open border thing. In some parts of the border states... illegal immigrants are basically staging a sleeper occupation as it is. La Reconquista er some such thing.

    Story time is over.

    IMO... the only way we really had a chance for 'change' and 'hope' was with Ron Paul. Everything else is stacking up to be varying degrees of crazy/failure. /flameshield

    As I watch AoC fall apart....

    I've been in this position even since I grew tired of WoW. Around March. I tried PlanetSide again.. but.. eh.. too dead. FFXI is horseshit. EQ2 was/is dying/dead and generally too confusing without motivating factors to entice me to learn. So.. now I'm playing KoTOR I and II, Mass Effect, and...

    Gaming mice!

    Awesome for gaming.. especially if you have the patience to calibrate the settings/options, which are expansive. I guess I hold it in a hybrid palm/claw. The top of my palm rests on the mouse, with my fingers bent and kind of perpendicular to the buttons. As opposed to parallel, which is what...

    WTF? Inmate held in MD jail for running over and killing cop; murdered in solitary confinement

    80% of men are sexually harassed by women at work

    I'm just so certain this is bullshit. A man is absolutely crippled by the sexual communication barrier. How many other studies have shown that women communicate sexual desire / flirting in a competely different way than us? Acts of respect, being friendly, accidently brushing up against someone...

    U.S. drops even lower in educational measurement rankings

    Actually, I think this is interesting. More or less HS is a joke anyway. Now.. you're giving kids independence, and incentive to learn. I would have kicked much ass in HS if this was implemented in my school. Instead I became a jaded, under-achiever, that was removed from school my senior year...

    Gaming mice!

    I'm madly in love with my new G9. I really really didn't think I'd like it, but my G7 was starting to bother me by only having 1 side button. AND.. because I'm anal and I need my peris to match color/manufactuer where possible. It's more of a top-palm/claw style grip... which is how I...

    Supreme Court (Child rapists get to live)

    So.. just because I'm curious.. Do you have the urge to rape children.. and the only difference between you and them is the physical manifestion of that urge?

    What IS Bushes fault????

    The only problem with associating some of these problems to Bush, is that psychologically, on some level, we might feel like we have a victory in finally having him out of office. Some people are more than willing to give a free pass to the next Pres as long as he 'isn't as bad.' I come from a...

    Another rampage shooting

    Is this even a real train of thought... I... what the hell... The fact that... wow.. You really believe that the only reason I don't murder my boss is because I'm ill equiped at the exact moment the disagreement occurs? How are you safe in a place that 'doesn't allow guns' ? Amazing...

    So when are we going to stand up for our right to own a gun?

    I always appreciate the fact that a notable percentage of Americans think that there is literally no chance of a malevolent government stepping into power. (unless you operate on the principle that one already has.) In addition, these also tend to be the same people that believe no war could...

    X48 vs P45 vs P35 chipset for Crossfire

    This is upsetting to me... What is the significance of PCIE 2.0? It seems like it isn't factoring in. In fact... I had no idea that the current cards were even saturating the 16x PCIE 1.0.

    U.S. School District to Microchip Students

    Schools are kinda like indoctrination centers. Social programs like this most often pilot in schools and prisons. I graduated in 2003.. and my class was close to being forced to buy lunches using biometric identification. Those purchases were placed into a database for market trend research I...

    MAX Temp for 4850??

    Evidently the first iteration of the 4850 series uses worthless TIM... or at least an improper amount. If you correct that, and your results are anything like the others I've seen, you'll be well within safe temperature ranges.

    *Official* ASUS P5Q Deluxe Intel P45 Board Thread

    Has anyone played around with the DriveXpert feature? I'm not entirely sure I understand it yet. My first install used Raid-0 on the Xpert ports which was configured in the SSD Linux OS. Windows saw it as 1 drive @ the merged capacity. I was thrilled to skip the whole slipstream/F6 driver...

    Has ATI given up the high end race?

    Thanks for the reply. I can't view that link tho, not here. So the HD3870x2 used a driver similar to a CF rig with similar scaling? How bad was the launch support? Do we know if the HD4870x2 is using the same software level communication between the GPUs?

    Has ATI given up the high end race?

    I don't understand this line of reasoning. What is the actual benefit of having a less powerful card but with 1 GPU, vs a, presumably, more powerful card with 2 GPUs. Especially considering the current restriction of doubling up the stand alone GPU using the current process? I'm not trying to...

    Cache Stacking in Raid 0?

    What is the effect Raid 0 has on the cache of an array striped over 2 discs? Both of my drives have 32MB for a total of 64MB. I imagine that it would act like it's just a regular 500GB-64MB drive.. but I haven't seen anything solid relating to cache behavior in this situation. Thanks in...

    I would get.. Asus P5Q-Deluxe (Or similar variation). Mushkin, Corsair, Crucial DDR2 @ either 1000 or 1066 2-2GB of course. Seasonic Modular PSU... I forget their model stepping.. I think 700, 600, 500. I have no ability to suggest cases to anyone.. ever.

    New Rig - Power:Price:Future

    I'm currently building another gaming rig... and as usual.. I'm unable to decide on a video card. Considering the possible release of the GT200 series within a few months.. Is it foolish to invest in a high end video card at this point. Just kind of thinking out loud. Any input would be...
