They may call me crazy, but i know better. They're just jealous!

I'm all for censoring at the early hours, no need for the smallest of children to hear swearing all the time, but after 20:00ish, anything should go, imo.

I don't really see the point in filtering out potty mouth nouns etc when there are only people of proper age watching.

Yarrr.

Interesting, I though the stock cooler on the graphics card would make the most noise. Very clean build by the way. Me like! :D Not yet, that cooler (when running at low rpm) is pretty silent. As soon as he silences his fans though, then it will be the loudest part. After that probably the PSU and ...

If they're silent (;)), it'll be a fun little gadget for on my north and southbridge. Wouldn't trust it with a OC'ed Quadcore just yet though.

when they switched from analog to digital i happened to be in the middle of moving. Never got around to ordering TV, never missed it either. The internet delivers news faster, more reliable (more then one source) and more in depth (seriously, current news shows are more like headline shows). For tho...

I would assume that it need batteries because a wall socket gives too high a voltage. And reducing the vltage would require the Kill A Watt things to be more expensive and bigger.

From what i gathered they're not needed per se (the ram doesn't seem to heat up much at all), but of course, it never hurts.

Wow, i just put my ear next to the laser and it does make a high pitched whine, heh i didn't believe you at first (since i never heard a mouse whine or of people who had problems with a whining mouse ). But that is one annoying tone.. luckily i don't hear it unless i put it next to my ear.

The rev 1.

Seraphyn, it may be counter intuitive but the math is easy once you realize the cost of the death penalty is mostly due to the trial costs as opposed to the cost of just "killing him." In effect, you're paying for the time of the court, including judge(s), lawyers on both side, paralegals, court re...

How the hell is a life imprisonment cheaper then death penalty? o_O
1 bullet/rope/whatever vs 40-60 years of living off my money. Seems odd that supporting his life is cheaper then just ending it.

Anyway, if killing him is more expensive, life imprisonment it is.

And just now i saw a body armor add on the front page, MikeC jumping in on the talk here? ;P

I know there are extenders which can lengthen cables a bit.

A HTPC, to me, is a PC which is focused on media play with certain requirements such as silence, good sound quality, low power draw and of course, capable media playback. You can game etc on a HTPC as it's just a PC, but it's not where you design it for (budget, parts, setting). My gaming rig is use...

If you run the cables through the back of the motherboard it should be fine. It worked for my p180 + HX520. The little 4 pins is a bit of a hassle though.

Quick question: Will it make a noticable difference in temperature if i go from my TRUE to a Ninja?

I have an intake fan at 600rpm, an exhaust at 600rpm and one on the CPU cooler also at 600rpm pretty much all the time. My current temperatures are 43C CPU with a 21C ambient.

My 7600GS runs at 60-65, never had a problem with it. I would try to use a different PSU and see how that goes.

I wonder about folks who say racial composition isn't an issue... I wonder if they speak from experience. I lived in a 50/50 neighbourhood for pretty much my entire life. The problem is not so much immigration, it is that these immigrants don't have quite the future they imagined when they decided ...

I will just call them DVD's still.

I too, was hoping on HD-DVD to win. Simply because i don't much care for DRM and silly Region Coding and of course because Sony has a bad trackrecord concerning these.

Ah well, at least when prices drop i won't have to think about which format now.

It even makes noise when i spin it by hand, kind of like a ball bearing which isn't oiled/greased well enough type of sound.

Crime is the problem once again....not guns. Of course crime is the root of the problem, who said otherwise? Guns are just a tool to commit a crime. Handguns in every home and on every citizen make it easier to commit deadly first crimes. These crimes you often can't see coming clearly and are thus...

Oh for the Dutchies among us, the Ninja over here (mine at least) shipped with a Slipstream as well, the SY1225SL12M to be exact. So that's the 12cm 1200RPM one.

Mine has a defective bearing though

As if producers are going to pay.. it'll just be the consumer that'll end up paying. Not that that's such a big deal to me, but they (politicians) shouldn't try and make it sound like we're getting somekind of break when everything stays the same. The tax stays and instead of paying when we want to ...

Small detail: murderers, burglars, and muggers have to be convicted before they are actually considered murderers, burglars, and muggers, and only then can be denied financial support. Or were you suggesting abolishing presumption of innocence? No problem really, the way things are going we are all...

Pfffft, have you seen the whole Holloway thing recently? The main suspect is a pathological liar who even confessed to the crime in front of a camera, shown on national and international television. He doesn't even get arrested.. Or the people who terrorize entire blocks (destroying, assaulting etc)...

Can't drive a car without an engine, i'd say. If the BIOS doesn't recognize the CPU, how can it do anything? Apparently the older rev2.0 boards don't seem to have the f8 BIOS on them, at least after some digging i found a guy with a f6 BIOS on his DS3L, maybe you got an 'old' new board. Seems to be ...

Samsung Spinpoint series: Cool and silent at the cost of a very very very tiny bit of performance (only noticeable in benchmarks). One of the finest disks out there in my opinion.

Distrusting governments is only natural, fearing them however is something completely different. Fear means you believe that they are actually trying to hurt you, which is a clear sign that you should move to a different country. About the lost elections and US foreign policy i can be brief. I find ...
