    Skylake IGPU not working w/ Displayport

    I have an interesting (well, at least to me!) one... I've recently built a system utilizing a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 motherboard, which I got specifically due to the displayport (over the UD3 which swaps it for a VGA) being available as a connector. Unfortunately I've been unable to get this to...

    777 crash at san Francisco airport

    I fly a lot (call it 30+ flights per year) and I've had one go around over the course of about 6 years. So about 1:200 or so for me. It's a lot of fun, especially in a 757. They aren't really that rare, I don't have any stats but pulling numbers out of my ass I'd guess that there is at...

    Water heaters

    Tankless is the way to go, I have no idea what others are talking about here re: delta temps - they work fine up in Minnesota, and I doubt you'll find much colder inlet water temps than that. Additional tank? What? I've lived two places with tankless water heaters now, and both just bolted...

    Romney could be the beneficiary of an $8.5B ponzi scam.

    The only actual fact I could find in this article of substance was his son started an investment company and worked with (possibly hired) people now under investigation by the SEC for fraud. Oh, that and the fact he invested $10 million in VC to his son for this business, and has been paid back...

    Radeon screen mirroring?

    Thanks for the reply, going to hook up a second LCD now and test that - good idea. I have a GTX 570 I can try this with as well - it actually used to be the card in the machine, and honestly I'm pretty sure I've mirrored this exact setup with that card. I'm not certain though, so I'll test...

    Radeon screen mirroring?

    Hey, I just picked up a Radeon 6990, and have it attached to a regular monitor via DVI out, this works well. I also have a projector connected via HDMI to this card as a second monitor. This works fine as well. I can span desktops across both monitors, as well as play games on either one...

    Senate passes credit card overhaul bill

    I had a very long response written, but realized it was pointless. Basically it comes down to this for me. If a credit card company says "hi! I want to give you a loan for 200% APR!" and some idiot takes it, then they got what they deserved. If a credit card company says "hi! I want to...

    What do you think of the "demise of Suburbia"?

    Hrm, this is sort of a tough one for me. I've lived in a myriad of places. From downtown Chicago, to inner city Minneapolis, to "super white" suburbia, to "inner ring" surburbia. Of all of them, I prefer the inner ring suburbia the most. By *far* over the super ridiculously dense places...

    Question pertaining to high school drop outs

    I absolutely agree. My point originally started out as more or less "good luck keeping someone in school who doesn't want to be". As mentioned, short of jail at that time of my life I'm not sure it would have been possible. Is imprisoning kids to force them to "learn" (which they will not...

    Question pertaining to high school drop outs

    Speaking as a high school dropout... No law could have kept me in school. Unless you were prepared to jail me and pay those expenses. Why I was so adverse to this, I can't really explain in a few sentences. Many factors were involved ranging from being bored out of my mind in school...

    Stop Paying Your Credit Cards

    Decent post until that line :) Judgments will depend on state. And, in most states (perhaps all?) a creditor can have a judgment renewed by the court, thus resetting that clock. This means judgments are indefinite - both in terms of enforcement by the courts, and sticking on your credit...

    $15,000 first-time home buyers tax credit

    Er.. but that's Northfield :) Isn't that pretty much what they were going for in.. 2002? I recall (only hazily though) looking at housing in the Bell Plaine area (a bit closer to the cities than Northfield) and seeing houses for around that, in similar sizes (with huge 2 acre yards and the...

    $15,000 first-time home buyers tax credit

    They are? Have a source for this? While this has been trumpted about a lot lately, I honestly am *not* seeing the "deals" that supposedly exist. Could just be my local market I suppose. 5-10% lowering of sale prices IMO is not "all time low". 30 to 50% and then I would consider housing to...

    Just watched a CBC piece on the effect of the recession on China. Makes me mad to think....

    It takes two to tango.. Greedy bankers? Check. Irresponsible retards living beyond their means? Check. Without either of these parties, the resulting boom, and bust, could not have happened. At some point the house of cards must fall. Now, I don't think it has fallen - and who is to...

    Mitt Romney: The theme "Yes, we can" seems to have been replaced with "Well, maybe we can't."

    I would make the argument that the "Housing Bubble" is still a bubble. From my view, it barely deflated any in my neck of the woods. Put it this way.. take median family income for a given area, and see how many houses are actually *affordable* utilizing traditional mortgage and payments...

    Calif. Court: Would-be Good Samaritan can be sued

    I hope this doesn't come across as snarky, as that is not my intent. However, you've obviously never had to defend yourself in a "real" lawsuit that meant high-dollar attorneys. I have. Most folks don't have $50k lying around, and even if they did - that is a HUGE burden to put on someone...

    McCain would buy bad homeowner mortgages

    The real estate market was, and is, unrealistically propped up by these idiots. In Chicago, a standard single family home is nearly a million dollars. These are nothing special, in fact some need quite a bit of work. Who the hell can afford that?! I mean, there are families putting 3/4...

    YAPT: She claims to be an "Average American"

    So the house is paid for? No mortgage? Teeny tiny little detail that is left out - considering it's half their "net worth" And yes, of course debts should be deducted from your net worth.. The problem is, I see so many people completely ignoring this fact. If I hear another idiot say...

    More Repub Dirty Tricks From the RNC?

    Huh?! I'm no republican.. But what? You seriously don't have to show your state issued ID (with current address, verified against a precinct list) and SS card *before* you vote there? Really? How can this be a bad thing? Up here in MN when I last voted (granted, 2000 elections) you had to...

    Discussion of proposed $700 billion - $1 trillion bailout plan

    So everyone (well, a lot of the "experts") are saying these "investments" have value, which in theory is higher than what the government will be buying for "pennies on the dollar" Okay... Why? Why in the heck would any bank give the government assets worth anything, for pennies on the...

    How is this even possible: 88% of DC 8th graders can't read?

    Are you serious? Let me not pay my "taxdollars" to the public school system, and I would be MORE THAN HAPPY to pay for private school myself! For that matter, I'm likely doing it regardless - I'm paying for your (future) children to go to public school *and* paying extra for my kids to go to...

    How is this even possible: 88% of DC 8th graders can't read?

    Sorry.. one other quick comment. To those that put forth the anecdotes of kids not being punished in school for behavior problems. I agree, but there is NO REASON AT ALL it needs to be that way! NONE! I absolutely agree it's due to worthless parents in 99.99% of the cases...

    How is this even possible: 88% of DC 8th graders can't read?

    Really? Wow. A reading level of "8th grade" is absolutely pathetic to begin with, my 7 year old son is reading at or above that level - and I wouldn't classify him as an overacheiver in that area - just average. When I was in 8th grade.. ALL my classmates, save perhaps a VERY select few, were...

    Target pays $6M because their site isn't accessible to the blind

    Or you could look at the "unseen" damage shitty laws cause the very people they are designed to protect. While I have no doubt the ADA has made great gains in some areas, what about what is lost? My guess it is definitely a net gain most likely, however I'm not educated enough on the topic to...

    Jesse Ventura To Run for MN Senate,

    What mass transit anywhere is self-supporting? I agree it should be, but it turns into a chicken and egg scenario then. It's really a tough problem to crack, unfortunately. Even places like Chicago, where the entire city (yes, even real upper class non-bum folks) depends on it on a daily...

    Jesse Ventura To Run for MN Senate,

    I'd vote for him. Definitely NOT the worst governor MN has had. Right now, I'd vote for anyone I feel I can trust to be *honest* with me and actually has the best interests of the country in mind - at least in their intentions. The issues are almost secondary at this point. Rob me, but...

    JP Morgan: Legal insider trading?

    Just to add... If these sorts of trades are allowed (e.g. "a trading plan") and not considered "actual trades" there is likely absolutely no means to enforce this. As, as etech stated, it's not an *actual* trade - thus, you cannot be guilty of insider trading. Basically IMO the banking...

    JP Morgan: Legal insider trading?

    Thanks wetech, makes a lot of sense. IMO, still a loophole. Could care less if it's technically legal - it shouldn't be. Unless we're going to allow insider trading. The scenario is still largely the same.. I setup a trade on date X, and using insider knowledge just decide to cancel it...

    JP Morgan: Legal insider trading?

    Er.. am I reading this completely wrong then? How can this NOT be classified as an "insider trading" loophole? From what I gathered, it goes something like this: I tell my bank to do the following on a schedule, depending on share prices. 1. On Jan 1 if share is more than $25 sell...

    Can someone explain this Firewall log alert from my Router?

    Much more likely is that it's intercepting some form of response from a webserver to a client. Useful things like oh you know, logging the source and destination IP's seem to be left out. This is what we call in the industry IWF's, when we get at abuse desks and network engineering...

    What should be taxed higher: wages or capital gains?

    it should simply be the same? duh? According to YOUR points you state that investment and labor our two equally valid means to make money. If the value is the same, then they should be taxed at the same rate. Put another way.. Why do you care HOW I make $150,000 in 2007? Do you care...

    Mexifornia. The failure of open immigration.

    Awesome thread, haha. I guess I'm racist :( I'm against completely uncontrolled, unvetted, undocumented, etc. immigration. This is currently illegal immagration, but could also be perfectly legal if laws change. Either way, I think it's bad for the country *I* want to live in...

    The law of unintended consequences

    I completely agree Boberfett - obviously government interference with the market is (by and large) a bad thing. While I believe a lot of it is initially well-intended (holy crap! farmers are losing money!) no one actually looks at it from a "game" perspective. As soon as people figure out the...

    The law of unintended consequences

    Sounds good to me. People forget we're in a self-correcting system, money being the all-powerful catalyst for change. Farmers start all growing corn because prices skyrocket? Guess what? Prices for soy, wheat, etc. skyrocket due to limited supply. Couple that with more "hard" limits...

    Dig a space, someone steals it? How to handle it?

    hahaha Man, I moved to Chicago about 2 years ago now. This was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever witnessed. It snows (like 4 inches, oh noes!!!) and retards put crap out in the street to "save their spot". Are you kidding me? Where I live, there are not enough spots at night...

    3rd Annual AT Tax Time Thread

    Quick question, which seems like it should be on some FAQ's somewhere, but I cannot find it. I currently "live" in MN, with a homestead property there. I also pay rent in IL, and spend roughly half my time in both locations. What is relevent I think is that I claim MN as my 'home state'...

    Which airport do you hate the most?
