    Newb build gone bad, what went wrong?

    I had a similiar problem with my first build(the fans twitching and the system not powering up). The computer loaded windows fine, loaded drivers, etc, restarted the computer and the power just went off. Couldn't get it to power-up. I eventually just took off the main 24-pin power connector...

    Contradiction in Arab cartoon views

    Odd, anyone paying attention to the Middle East knows that Islam plays an absolute vital and prominent role in politics. I mean Hamas is a political party that uses suicide bombings as military engagement; they call it a Jihad or Fatwa against Israel and scream Allah Ackbar during detonation...

    Hospital Execs Making Huge Salaries?

    Does everyone here know that the health care industry is the most regulated industry in the country, right? Regulation, typically, lead to high costs and stagnates competition which drives down costs.

    Hospital Execs Making Huge Salaries?

    If you are poor, you get Medicaid and don't pay. So this is targeting the middle class with no insurance.

    The debate over these cartoons of Muhammad is ridiculous.

    Yeah, no harm at all, burning embassies aside. Ignoring your inability to perform basic math, I agree that discussions in forums get muddled. However, I believe you can have a pretty good discussion as long as you type clearly. I think you suffer from not expanding on your thoughts, and I...

    Bravo Saahmed, please keep your word and do that. The world can be changed by people like you. You have no idea how important you are in this struggle against the radicals.

    The debate over these cartoons of Muhammad is ridiculous.

    Well then, what are you talking about? Fanatical Muslims are the ones threatening Europe with beheadings, terrorism, and burning embassies. I mean, I'm assuming the ones doing that are fanatical.

    The debate over these cartoons of Muhammad is ridiculous.

    Buddies or lip service? Should we alienate Saudi Arabia, in turn, they refuse to sell oil to us and ultimately criple our economy? I wonder if Canada and the rest of the western world would be effected by the US economy collapsing. Got any ideas how we could not be friends with the Saudis and...

    Come out and say it Earl. Why the cryptic posts, why the ambivalent points. Do we, as Americans, have nothing to fear from fanatical Muslims?

    Hezbollah leader wants free speech laws changed in Europe

    Meuge, don't forget that the US pressured Israel to return the Sinai peninsula. Kinda odd, since I was starting to get convinced that the US is run by Israel.

    Hezbollah leader wants free speech laws changed in Europe

    Again all conjecture. You assume they are going to take land because they are growing. How can you be so sure? You can't, plain and simple. Good luck with your war against Israel and predicting the future.

    Hezbollah leader wants free speech laws changed in Europe

    All conjecture. If the population of Portugal, or Holland, or Kuwait keeps growing and growing, your logic assumes these countries will start taking land from their neighbors.

    The debate over these cartoons of Muhammad is ridiculous.

    Saahmed, instead of wasting your time posting here, find some muslim fanatics that are protesting violently and tell them they should do it peacefully. Post on radical muslim forums that call for death to america and europe, and type to them that they shouldn't use violence. If more people...

    Hezbollah leader wants free speech laws changed in Europe

    The Luxinator said this: "The Arabs find themselves in a struggle for keeping their land, while the Israeli's are in a struggle to gain more land, with the modern equipment and international support by the super powers add to that the lobbying everywhere BOM you got a winner. "

    The debate over these cartoons of Muhammad is ridiculous.

    Where is the hypocrisy of upholding ONE of the tennets of a 200 year old document? I can see the hypocrisy if nothing has ever been changed in the constitution, but arguing to keep some or even most of the tennets of the document, isn't hypocricy. Especially in context to the discussion that...

    Help build $400 AMD PC

    Yeah, my family member will never fill up an 80gig drive. It's just office apps and internet(with a modem btw). That's why the video card(none), hard drive, and cd-burner/combo I picked would be fine (can't see him burning dvds). Was planning on a 939 so after a few years I could just pop in...

    This is the exact config I just made (except I had 512 & sempron 3000 instead of 1gig and 2800), with shipping it came out to be around $401. Didn't think there was any tax to be paid. I think you guys are right. I just assumed if I got a socket 939 3 years later I could get an FX or X2...

    The 3200 is cheaper than the 3000, shrug. You are right about the hard drive. 2 sticks aren't better for dual channel motherboards? If not, then one stick of 512 it is.

    OK. Read about four different forums. All say you can use a standard ATX case with a microATX board. So that leave the question: Can anybody recommend a good black case with 24-pin power supply for around $40?

    Lol, I know. Read the reviews on Newegg. People seem to be pleased with it. I'd be more worried if I was going to put more drives and a video card, but since it's only 2 drives and onboard video, I figured I be alright. I'll keep looking.
