    Mystery key presses

    I'm at a loss for answer for this one. The last few days my PC would randomly decide that I wanted to type a bunch of "q" in a row. At first I thought it was a stuck key, so I took out the Q key to inspect it, but nothing looked out of place, and the whole exercise was rendered moot when...

    ACA (a.k.a. Obamacare) Upheld

    I'd like some of what you're smoking. on second thought, it's obviously a bit too potent, so maybe not.

    Damn regulators messing with free enterprise again

    all the above and more, think cheap chinatown-based chinese bus operators with poorly maintained buses driven by overworked unlicensed bus drivers. you know, the epitome of safe travel :P

    Modern nuke plants

    not that you're looking for any actual debates anyway. you say the proponents only know industry talking points, yet I've seen nothing but anti-nuke activist talking points from you either, so on that front I'd say you guys are even. threads like these are pointless, you have people who argue...

    Modern nuke plants

    there are so many kinds of nuts and crazies in this post I don't know where to begin. I hope for your sake it was an attempt at sarcasm gone horribly wrong.

    why do we encourage poor people to reproduce?

    forced abortions and sterilizations... what's next? concentration camps for the poor? why not just use them as human guinea pigs for experiments while you're at it? they're obviously worthless subhumans that should have their fate determined by superior beings such as yourselves. the number of...

    why do we encourage poor people to reproduce?

    perhaps, though I think you just have a serious humanity issue. tbh, I wouldn't mind if police went to your house and drag you to the hospital to forcibly remove your brain to study just what kind of aliens are invading our planet.

    Catholic School Teacher Fired For Getting In Vitro Fertilization

    Doesn't anyone remember Psalms 3:14159? And Jesus said thou shalt not have a medical professional perform treatments that doth increase the fertilization of a woman lest the procedure be sanctioned by the lord, amen.

    Infographic: The size and reach of the United States military

    yea, just look at UPS Tank Freight and Fedex's Next Day Guaranteed Company Delivery Service (saturday delivery extra, of course). of course civilians are involved, especially today when everyone is contracting out as much work as they possibly can (even when it costs more money). But you're...

    Good for you, once a Marine, always a Marine. doesn't make you any less of a retarded knucklehead however.

    not touching that one with a 10 foot pole Indeed I was, but no more of a dick-face than you are with your blanket condemnation of CCW holders. 10 years in the Marine Corps, friends in the LE and training field, people I met at the local gun range etc. While not CCW-specific, most DO...

    YAGT: Stand your ground law...

    I'd say it's pretty obvious that it's compared to the average person in the same age bracket, as any other comparison would be rather pointless. But don't let your bias show through or anything. LOL! Hey guiz! MOST of you are arrogant bloodthristy bastards out looking to shoot any and...

    YAGT: Stand your ground law...

    only if you ignore the reasonable person standard that's already present in the law. SYG laws are not perfect and they can definitely use more refinement, especially in the application of the law, but they are not nearly as overreaching as you're saying.

    How would you make the U.S. Constitution perfect?

    I would add lots of ponies. lots and lots of ponies. with some rainbows. and then maybe people would stop whining about stuff. or more likely they'd just beat the ponies to a pulp and then continue to bicker about partisan stuff.

    Technically, humans do not possess any instincts, despite the common misconception. Fight-or-Flight is a learned response, you are not born with it. The same thing applies for LEO and military. We are trained on the escalation of force policies, though no amount of training can match real...

    Tennessee Evolution Bill Becomes Law

    naw, they'd simply get fired and the students kicked out of school, and anyone who would dare question it are obviously trying to trample on their religious freedom. when it comes to reality distortion fields, even good 'ol Jobs can only marvel at the ones wielded by the religious nuts.

    Perhaps, and it's not an unreasonable assumption. As I've noted before in my previous posts, as someone who has a concealed carry permit, I personally believe that those of us who chose to exercise our 2nd amendment rights needs to be the one with the cooler head, and to avoid or de-escalate...

    tbh, this thread has devolved into more about people throwing insults and ridiculously one-sided hyberboles which ignores all facets that doesn't agree with their ideas at each other than on any semblance of an actual debate on the incident. but then again, this is the internet :P

    This thread is growing at a speed faster than I cared to follow, but I saw a post in another forum that I browse which expresses how I feel about this issue much more eloquently than I can. "Yes. He should be condemned for what he did. He should have stayed in his car. He took action...

    the more info comes out (Zimmerman's new story is laughable, maybe his next story will be that he was abducted by aliens who happened to look like Trayvon...), the more I think Zimmerman's going to get nailed, and rightfully so. The statement from the girl who was on the phone with Trayvon is...

    You have to take into account how difficult it is to get a job in the LE field atm with all most departments slashing positions, you often have hundreds of applicants vying for a single opening these days. Obviously it depends on the particular state/city you're trying to get a job in, but...

    sigh, you're sounding just as bad as spidey, just on the opposite end of the spectrum. and no, there's no "psych-check" before a cop is sworn in, you go through your academy, and then whatever the application/interview process is for the department that's hiring, same as any other job. and no...

    Just because spidey is coming off as an ignorant douche, that doesn't mean everyone is like him, and it certainly doesn't grant you the power to decide what right people should have. Using a bad apple to generalize an entire group of people to justify your point of view makes you no better than...

    mistake 1, you're quoting from wiki mistake 2, there's no such thing as "U.S. law" in this case(and in most cases actually), criminal statues governing these type of incidents belongs to the state, which can vary wildly on subjects like self-defense. Not defending Zimmerman's action here...

    Unarmed black 17 year old shot by Neighborhood watch captain in gated community...

    I was referring to how your own experience has little relevance on this particular incident. As far as the 911 recording goes, IIRC Zimmerman was saying something along the lines of "he's got something in his waistband", which only serves to further illustrate the sheer incompetence of...

    Unarmed black 17 year old shot by Neighborhood watch captain in gated community...

    it sucks, but it still doesn't make Zimmerman into a qualified individual to deal with the issue. neither you nor Zimmerman is a trained LEO, you guys have no business conducting armed pursuits of any kind when you're working from nothing more than your own suspicion. Doing so can only lead...

    As a CPL holder and current military, and from info that's been made publicly available, I have to say that Mr. Zimmerman is at the very least a f-ing ret**ded mall ninja who's not qualified to be a watch for anything other than his own house, much less the neighborhood. People like him only...

    Some OC question (i7 920)

    Well, got it down to 1.35 for the qpi/vtt voltage, running 181x21, and is 20hrs prime95 stable so far.... temp holding at around 60c w/ prime, so I guess this would be a success? I don't think the lower memory speed/timing really matters in real life performance does it?

    Some OC question (i7 920)

    Finally got my rig to be prime95/linx stable @ 3.8, currently have the vcore set at 1.2 in bios (reads 1.184 in cpuz), and the qpi/vdram set @ 1.375. First question is that is it advisable to run the qpi/vdram @ 1.375 if I'm unable to get it to run stable @ 1.35(the intel spec iirc)...

    i7 860 or wait?

    I'm a big fan of the 860 myself, though I ended up going for the 920 in the end, mostly due to the $199 microcenter deal, which helped to negate some of that pricing difference. For me, the remaining price difference was worthy trade-off for sata/usb 3 and the 2 full pci-e lane. That's for me...
