    Upgrade worthwhile?

    Thanks. I'm second guessing whether that card (2GB 7750 or 1GB 7770) can handle the monitors even in limited gaming situations 1 U2713HM 2560 x 1440 2 P1913 900 x 1440 So works out to 4360x1440.

    Upgrade worthwhile?

    I'm looking to upgrade a 3-year old build and am trying to figure out what's worth while. Since I bought the machine I've started doing more programming, more photo/video editing, more complex spreadsheet work, and a whole lot less gaming (virtually zero now). So I really want to get 3...

    Dead Hard Drive (Motor)

    Hadn't heard of the freezer trick until now....a little worried that it will do more harm than good, but I'm tempted.

    Dead Hard Drive (Motor)

    GF's Hard Drive bricked last week...and of course her ph'd dissertation is on there. She does have an earlier draft, but has lost about 3 months worth of work. Anyway anyway does anybody have any experience with one of these hard drive recovery firms? Seems like the cheap ones are in the...

    Bootloader options

    Not sure if this is even possible but can a bootloader change the under/over clocking and toggle video cards on and off? I've got a desktop that I want to use basically as a NAS in linux. Under this event I want to stay as low-power as possible. So underclocking my processor, and turn on my...

    Climate Momentum Shifting: Prominent Scientists Reverse Belief in Man-made Global Warming - Now Skeptics

    You can argue whether we are a cause of global warming or just a contributing factor. But life is going to change if we don't work to reverse the trend, and its not going to be in good way.

    Anyone watch the Dem debate?

    Richardson was flat and a little awkward, which is too bad because on paper he is my favorite. Biden gained a bit in my eyes, was the only one who seemed to have a real "personality." I've never liked Edwards, but given he had by far the toughest question did well. Barack was eloquent but...

    Need a Laptop

    No that XPS has the Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950. I think I'll go for the Asus, it's not perfect but it looks like one of only two options that fit my needs (the other is an overpriced Sony).

    Thanks for the responses!!! Yes bag size dictates the size requirement.

    Need a Laptop

    My only requirements is that it's got to be less than 12.5" wide (so I figure 12-14" diag) and it's got to have at least the graphics power of the 6600GT I've got in my desktop...which I think means discrete graphics. That said there I'd really like AMD (they employ my best friend) graphics...

    Cheapest Laptop with discrete graphics

    85% of what I want to do is office/surfing type of tasks. But I do want something that can handle vista and a few hours of wow. So I think its worth getting the discrete graphics (let me know if you think I'm wrong). Anyway what's the cheapest new laptop I can get with discrete graphics?

    Best $100 CPU????

    I'm budgeting approx $100 for the next CPU upgrade. It's got to be 939, but thats the only restriction. After skimming newegg, it doesn't seem worthwhile to spend more than the $70-someodd for a 3200 venice...does that seem right? I've got a very small case (and only 300 watt powersupply)...

    The 2006 election from a historical view

    Let's see what they do with the majorities before it's historic. Republicans in '94 was historic, not because they won, but because they held on and controlled the agenda for a decade.

    So Michigan voters ban affirmative action.....

    You don't need a formal study to know employers certainly are racist. Psychology 101, that people have transpose themselves into other people who look and act like themselves. I'm not sure thats an excuse for affirmitive action in the work place, because that too is racism. In education...

    Cheap laptop help needed

    Basically price is the number one concern. A close second is battery life (needs to be able to take a couple of hours or typing and surfing at a coffee shop). Everything else isn't too important. It's going to be purely an internet, word processing, and spreadsheet computer, so I have very...

    Lindsey Graham next VP candidate

    After watching this guy a few times on Hardball and Meet the Press, I've been very very impressed. He's a conservative, but he's got a very pragmatic (as opposed to ideological) tone. He's a future presidential candidate but I'm convinced that he's going to be the next VP candidate. He gets...

    Will we ever see Bush on trial?

    I oppose Bush, but he's not an international criminal. He isn't a dictator. An independently freely elected congress went along with him. The war was carried out horribly, but some of the reasons we went were (or could have) justified the war. Of course other reasons were just stupid.

    Qwest REFUSED to turn over phone records to the NSA!!!

    I'm glad that Quest did, but don't think they are anykind of model. The then-CEO, is under investigation for 48 counts of insider trading...don't you love our country.

    The hell? Fox News is a "most trusted brand"?????

    Simple answer is people trust sources that think like them. Conservatives trust conservative sources, liberals trust liberals. The moderates (and truly non biased) get tossed away.

    Why are you a Democrat, Republican?

    Because Dems have been too protectionist recently and they are militantly pro-choice.

    Ultra Low Power Server

    I'm looking to build an ultra low power server and Myth backend. Not too many requirements. Needs to have enough physical space and cooling for 5 hard drives, 3 tuner cards, a gigabite network card, and a video card (if not builtin). Aside from that price is my only real concern. Ideally...

    Wait, stop the presses!

    Yeah scientists have known that there have been equally severe temperature changes throughout history (including last 1000 years). They are scared that these sentiments will be used by business as an excuse to do nothing. What is certain is that we are not helping the situation by our CO2...

    What?s next after capitalism falls apart in the US?

    The great thing about capitalism is that it is flexable enough to change as markets change. The bad thing is people don't like change, they like security. So we've got to find the middle ground, but by most measures ours is pretty good...and France will go through another 2-3 republics before...

    Showdown 2008: Clinton vs. McCain

    In general 40% of the country would only vote dem, 40% only republican. Hillary is a death sentance because she's at 46% wouldn't dream of her. Only chance she has is a Ross Perot clone comes in. That said republicans can do the same thing by picking an idealogue...but it looks like they are...

    Will George W. Bush go down in history...

    He be remembered as a deeply flawed, and weak president. He'll be above Carter, Nixon, and LBJ but below all the others in the last 60 years. Without a doubt bottom quarter. The reason is Iraq. What saves him from those depths is history will also remember his performance right after 9/11...

    SD House Passes Abortion Ban

    I didn't feel like reading 8 pages of this thread....but does anybody think for a second that John Roberts will allow this case before the court? Assuming he does want to repeal Rowe (and I believe he does), he's too smart to do it in one swoop. Anyway last I checked Kennedy is still in...

    Bush tackles health care costs..

    I completely agree, although obviously the issue is much more complicated. It won't take much pressure to change the insurance industry's stance...but the reason for their refusal makes sense. Namely it's likely to be another company paying for the $100,000 tab. Of course getting people to...

    Bush tackles health care costs..

    If you read any of the international medical journals we usually are between 10-15. And yes if I have a set of siamese twins (or more seriously a rare type of cancer) I'd be glad to be in the US. We do have the very best hospitals at the top (Mayo's and the like). But based on availability of...

    I feel bad for the H1 workers in the United States

    I'm in total agreement...educated people should still have a place here. In the end they bring money here, they develop products, nuture ideas. And if you have enough high skilled labor in the States, then they'll need the unskilled labor to support them. If you talk to companies going to...

    Bush tackles health care costs..

    Apparently Bush is going to try and tackle the cost of health care in this country in his State of the Union. His method will be his old standby...tax breaks. The problem itself is incredibly important, just behind energy and just over social security (in my opinion). I mean we spend an...

    Fatah Gunmen Seize Palestinian Parliament - UPDATED 1-28-06

    I might be the only one who thinks this might be a good thing for peace. Hamas, should they eventually choose to accept Isreal's right to exist, would have the legitamacy to make a deal w/o looking like they were pandering. This might be remembered as the rise of the Palestinian Sharon. A...

    term limits on congress

    executive is fine at 2 terms. house should have term limits prob 4 2-year terms. Senate should stay as long as they can, they are more in flux anyway, and professional politicans are good as long as they aren't too numerous. For example it takes time to gain the foriegn policy experience of a...

    What type of ethnic food is the hottest/spiciest?

    Real Indian (not common in the states)...even the deserts are spicy. A real spicy curry blows the pants off mexican/thai. Now there are chilli's that are even hotter, but those are mostly for show.

    Canada Urges U.S., Australia to Fight Climate Change

    On this Bush has it right, though he lacks any eloquence in expressing the position (where is Tony Blair when you need him). In capitalism as economies grow, energy use grows, and thus pollution grows. Both can be tempered somewhat by expensive technologies, although that leaves rich countries...

    If Saddam can be held accountable for torture done by his soldiers can Bush also be held to the same standard

    Yes, although there is a very clear distinction between the two both in level of involvement and reasons for use. Anyway Henry Kisinger is a war criminal in some countries (Chile among others) but he's still writing books on diplomacy. Go figure.

    Who is your favorite US President?

    TR was my favorite, Lincoln was the best, closely followed by Jefferson... last century in terms of importance (not personal pref) FDR, Wilson, TR, Truman, Regan. JFK is the most overrated. His crowning achievement was the cuban missle crisis which which I believe many people could have...
