    OMG it's another negative "global warming isn't real" thread. How shocking.

    Its quite obvious the graphic indicates it is cold in January in the northern hemisphere.

    Landline or bust

    Landlines are no more secure than cells. At least you have to have the equipment to decrypt a cell call, whereas your landlines (and usually the person you're calling) are protected by an unlocked plastic box on the side of your house or pole (not to mention the 25-pair pedestal in your...

    Here's a new one

    The fact that it runs ALL the fans nearly completely rules out a driver/software issue, and sounds more like a hardware issue.

    Got another PSU, or will his card work in another case? Isolating the two somehow would give more direction. I've seen case and PSU fans run on shutdown/standby, but never CPU or GPU fans.

    Building a Home Theater PC

    Also depends if the display is HDCP compliant. I don't know if those adapters are. The DVI Dual Link cables should be, so maybe they make HDMI->DVI dual-link adapters. As for audio, I've seen HDMI on some motherboards for the onboard video, but otherwise I'd doubt video cards pass the audio...

    Windows 7

    We've done a full Win7/2008 domain deployment and have Win7 (both 32 and 64) on some odd machines here and there. Out of the two or so dozen computers I've done, only one have I had to find a driver for (the vague PCI Communication Device). Everything else was always found and worked out of...

    The future

    The UK has government-owned healthcare, not the same as what is being debated. I believe it'd be closer to (though still not the same as) the single-payer system in Canada.

    obama makes speech, and almost everyone likes it

    I'd take a pic for you, but it's too much work. It seemed like a good idea at the time.....three years ago.

    obama makes speech, and almost everyone likes it

    All this talk of reform and revolution is getting me excited. I've still got one of those 50lb bags of popcorn kernels from Sams. Don't bring me down, Bruce.

    Re: Obammie worst black President ever ;) I will have my camera charged and ready for these pitchfork, tar, and feather parties. Sounds kinky. Shall I buy stock in Tractor Supply now? You are getting my hopes up for a real good show. I hope your people don't let me down...
