Technically, McCain isn't rich his wife is; and his pre-nuptual agreement assures him if he ever divorces her he will be dirt poor.  I respect Liberman for going independant and spanking the ass of his democratic rival for his senate seat.  We need more independants in Washington.  More freethinkers then 94% agree with party-goers.  The more Obama's campaign grows, the more I think he was breed for the specific purpose of being the most liberal presidential candidate in history.  Its a government conspiracy to put a democrat on the ticket that 74%(half the democrat base is about 26% of voters) of the US population wouldn't vote for because he is too liberal.

I don't care if they emulate the fighting in the series.  If they replace it with fighting similiar to a martial arts movie, then thats good too.  However, what concerns me is the premise.  She has a gun in the photo, and Bulma is a high school student who is dating the school jock.  Not the princess whos father is stuck on a flaming hill.  They better atleast make Roshi a pervert.  It looks like they are adapting it into Street Fighter the Movie.

No graphics card right now even makes full use of PCI-e 1.0.  I would say get the HD4870 if you have the extra money, there is a performance impact.

The Q6600 is still probably the best performing consumer quad core even though its been years since its inception.

The HD4850 is a better performing graphics card at the same price segment as the 9800GTX+, it also has a performance boost on that chipset.

You don't need DDR3, especially with a P43 board.  It won't really utilize the memory.

If your a good 3D artist why would you want to join the game industry.  The pay is crap, better off joining a law firm or getting into movies.  Another good degree to take in the Art area is Architecture.  Many of the concepts translate into environment design.  Also alot easier to get a job with an architecture degree.

Edit- I went to one of these Diploma Factories and they really aren't a substitute for a real education.  Most of the students don't have the dedication to progress far, and you really have to teach yourself.  This leads to the thought why even go when you are going to teach yourself most of it anyway?  The main problem being the professors don't offer a university level challenge to acadamia.  They actually fire instructors who are too hard or fail too many students.  As long as you pay your tuition you pretty much pass.  It would be different if the teachers were all harsh and made you work hard; where there is a pass fail and people are expected to have a certain knowledge when progressing to the next class; when you aren't held back because half the students are still stuck on rudimentary stuff covered in the first quarter; while you take a B.A. instead of a B.S. to reduce the amount of crap gen eds that usually clog this curriculum.

In the last 2 years I learned eons more about working with 3D in a mod-group creating its own engine then at this type of school.  I am working with technology and techniques only in the experimental stages for games.  Which makes it difficult because I have to come up with the techniques to work with them.  Still it beats the instructors stealing the techniques you developed as thier student.

Looks like they are trying really hard at making a bad remake to Dragon Ball.  Are they gonna have 20 minutes of non-stop threats to fight?

The 7900 GT is 4 generations old now, so it might be an ok idea to upgrade.  However, I would not aim at the high end.  It only takes a short while for that high end to be obsolete.  I would aim somewhere in the middle.  Right now the sweet spot is the HD4850 and HD4870.

Ohh I see, Chrome is more like an open source application layer then a browser.  I was evaluating it as a browser and wasn't impressed, but using it in this purpose is different.

It is a 90nm processor so it will run hotter then Barton core Athlons.  However, not that hot it should be idling 30~40c tops on air, lower on water cooling.  What I wonder is what are you using the monitor temp?  Then how is your airflow setup and what size case do you have?

Uhh you do know what the net-nuetrality bill was about right?  I would be ashamed to support that bill.  It limits free-speech on the net, and enforces regulations on ISPs that would increase prices on broadband and put in regulations to make it more difficult to upgrade fiber optic networks.  Its not a bill that supports the net being a nuetral median for ones ideas but a bill that addresses the net having no regulations on it.

 

Wrong. Here is what the bill was about.

 

Holy crap!  I found out what's wrong with our governement!  It's a bunch of lawyers!  just read that bill it's off the hook!

Page 3, item B on there is where I have issue.  This prohibits an ISP from creating premium content and thus hurts free market....or it could be a recipie for chicken soup the wording is so law-speak it's sickening.

 

  If you think thats bad, try reading the original 145 page bill.  The net neutrality bill is about adding in more regulations on current ISPs to limit what they can do, such as block services or offer premium services.  It effectively flat-rates all internet.  One problem with this is that there is no benefit for growing or planting new lines.  People have been cited as saying the reason nations like Japan, and Korea have been able to setup advanced fiber-optic lines providing bandwidth 1/10th the cost of ours is because of a lack of regulations on communication providers, aside from the smaller land mass.  Similiar to how it was in 1970.  The bill would kill competition.

1 thing happening right now is Verizon gobbling up all the bandwidth subscribers because they are laying out new lines and offering a slightly better service then the current communication providers who stagnated on upgrading thier network.  Thats the glory of competition.

navyField, just saying its a pretty great feature for an mmo.

I never thought I would ever see a company side with casual paying customers but this company has.  It implemented a first of its kind, sleeper accounts.  You can have your account go to sleep for a minimum of 20 days and it saves holds your subscription status until you wake it again.  So lets say you only play a couple days a month, you can put your account to sleep and have a subscription last for months/years without repaying.  Also good for testing updates, after a major update you wake it then test it out and if it only holds your interest a little while put your account back to sleep until the next one.

They are also working on another feature I never would have thought of before.  They are addressing account mules.  You can link 2 accounts so you don't have to do any of that awkward trading between 2 accounts, you can just log into 1 and have the resources of the other accessible.

Small companies always implement the strangest things.

They are both seperate.  The hard one to monitor is your CPU since it is really difficult to monitor modern CPU temps.  With all the CPU temp monitors they all have innacuracies for CPUs made in the last 2 years.  Sometimes its drastic.  Even using the bios to measure this temp is innacurate.  I would need to know what CPU you have to be sure.

For GPUs, download nVidia display manager or Catalyst Control Center with your bios.  You can check your temp accurately with this software.  If you don't use a nVidia or ATi video card then the actualy GPU temp is irrelevant since its handled by a chip that cannot be altered easily.

lolz you might not be able to tell but thats a referal link.

"Preside at council meetings. The mayor may take part in the discussion of matters before the council, but may not vote, except that the mayor may vote in the case of a tie; "

Sounds like she has alot of VP experience.

Uhh, don't people understand how speculators work?  They put the price on oil based on what the supply will be in the future.  Due to China and India starting to boom in technology and potentially using more gas, combined with the multiple hurricanes we were hit with last year, they have decided it would be best to increase the price since in the future there may be less oil.  By drilling now and building a new refinery that turns it around since in the future there will be a surplus.

I agree that drilling isn't the only solution but if we don't then we will be paying $5+/gallon for 30 years gambling on alternative fuels.  I don't think people are convinced on fuel cell yet because it has been tested under reality for only a short while.  It may have a devastating effect on life much like Ethanol had.
 

Also we didn't spend $1 trillion on the war.  We spent $1 trillion on our military, the single biggest entity in the US giving jobs and contracts to 1/3rd the working population and is at the forefront of technology.  The war costs were included in that spending.  However, its spun like its all on Iraq.

I am surprised it took so long for Bill Clinton to tap an aide in the white house.  This considering he was tapping women as the Governer of Arkansas.

The maintenence is from 8-11PM PST.  This week it lasted until 1am PST.  So chances are its up for you.

Because they are being attacked by Islamic Extremists who think it was thier destiny to kill off all the Jews.  Sound familiar?

I think the choice is great since she represents an image of John McCain that people have tried to bury this election year, a maverick.  She questions here own party and that is something I think is needed in this president instead of someone who agrees with his party 98% of the time.

One thing about the experience debate is that she isn't running to be president, but instead vice president.  She is following in the footsteps and working closely with a man who has alot of experience.  Also another great thing is that she is representing Alaska, a state poised to grow tremendously in the next decade, and talks are going into place to use it as a shipping hub from North East Asia into the United States and Canada.
