no logic in our greed based two party system run corpacracy

I like the Socratic in asking why again (it gets to truth if it doesn't drive the other person mad first).

But yea, I'm no fan of the corpacracy, or of Bush (the village idiot), or of Obama, etc. I'm sure there's something I like...

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one" Based on the premise that all individuals are equal, but what's that based on? The needs of Obama outweigh the needs of the peasants. The needs of Wall Street outweigh the needs of main street. - Two truths: Power isn't evenly distrib...

2. More complete! - Ah yes, of course. I used to think of "complete" like being pregnant. You either are or you are not. There is no "little bit pregnant." I could continue, but some might think my long windedness might be more complete, and we can't have that. More perfect. A woman is either perfe...

If you've done the usual: checked for the latest updates and tried reinstalling it with the firewall and antivirus turned off, then try the Asus forums maybe:

This might be it: link.

Lol.

Beautiful. Good to see an i7 can be tamed.

If the PSU fan is the noisiest, maybe an 80mm model would be better - seems like what MikeC would recommend anyway. Danimal's got a good suggestion too.

aristide1, since when did your post count surpass mine? Grr... I'm trying to wean myself off my latest and most useless of endevors - You Tube. It has its purpose, but anything more than 10 minutes a week needs to be addressed. Sounds like you miss Bluefront. - I read most of the time, but I have a ...

Browsing newegg today looking at all the gadgets I shouldn't buy, I was surprised to see people speaking of their "12GB of RAM" systems. And the latest performance mobos accept up to 24GB.

Isn't this overkill? I'm sure there are uses for it, but the hype seems like such a waste for most users...

Not good to speak of killing glorious leader. But even were he to cease existing in this life, another monster would surely take his place. Actually, one is rising now to replace him: Obaminator! He's sure to stomp on the Mid East ant hill and US economy plenty... just as Dubya did. Oh, but he's bla...

I've also discovered cheaper sources of LED bulbs.

If disposal becomes an issue for CF, then I might now switch.

I found a new positive of LED bulbs: no mercury gas inside. CFL bulbs though do have mercury gas, which isn't supposedly hazardous except where large numbers of bulbs have broken. --- Bringing me to my question: do people dispose of these dern things? I have a few CFL bulbs now, but I hate to just t...

I just got notified in my box of a reply to this thread :p

Neil, that sounds like a wonderful idea, very noble of you.

~$500 billion seems to me a huge underestimate. I haven't looked at the proposals because I hadn't thought any of them realistic. Green power costs far more than ah brown power. It would require the transformation of a society, shifting a great deal more towards producing and maintaining that green ...

Neil, I know you're a big believer in the global village dream, but were you to type into the screen "I understand your view, though you're mistaken about the role genetics, culture, community-ties, morality, diversity, etc. play in a society. All that's needed is for the right government policy to ...

Hello Trip, How would deporting people help? They are going to "need" as much power in some other place. If we can do this, we will go a very long way to solving the economic problems, AND the war problems, AND the environmental problems -- with a single solution, we can alleviate (at least) three ...

We could go green if we deported 2/3 of the population... It's not reasonable to go Green in the US within 10 years, we're too large, diverse, and poor. Norway or Iceland might could do it, or maybe Japan (I dunno much about Japan but wanted a nonEuro state) but not the US, at least not easily. --- ...

Usually when a friend's computer has problems, mal/adware is to blame. I usually just run adaware and TrendMicro's antivirus software and check for any unwanted programs installed, and I'm praised as a hero (T) Download.com has adaware. It's free. antivirus.com offers a free scanning program from Tr...

We have guys like Jarmo Koskinen. ... Neil, what's your solution for these people? Lifetime (in a single cell) would have kept him from committing murder again too. And in his case, likely some medical treatment on top of it to keep him down. They've still got human contact though I'm fairly certai...

BF,

it probably is a deterrent, but society isn't a controlled experiment. So, there are other factors driving up the murder rate.

I'm surprised Ralf "Thread Butcher" Hutter hasn't sentenced this one to death btw

Bluefront,

once Obama-Messiah is elected, they'll be defending his every action and you'll be attacking him.

Then, you'll be the "honest one" :p

Me, I'll remain "honest" as disliking both twins, Bush and Obama.

Thanks a lot Neil.

Be sure that precipitous pile of blue fill won't collapse in event of an earthquake.

I guess that'll be part of v2, or maybe it's better secured that it appears.

It'd be a shame to die shouting silently under a giant mound of blue fill.

Incredible. Though I guess fiat money is truly worthless anyway.

My IQ is 89

Sorry for confusion.

Can you download youtube videos with the K-Lite Codec Pack?

If so, I'll go ahead and remove all my media players. Actually, I'm installing the pack now, so I'll soon know.

Zimbabwean dollars expire, meaning they'll be worth 0.00 after December. You might be interested in monarchy since you like "dictators". Most of the ancaps like it. --- I don't see why Zimbabwe is of any concern to us. Foreign involvement brought about Mugabe. If we leave it alone, maybe they'll fix...

Capitalism can be far left wing too. Right wing means preserving or restoring the traditional society/ancien regime and its culture/religion, acting in its best interests, and preserving the natives who make up the traditional society. Capitalism often facilitates its destruction, and is thus left w...
