Considering that Muslim is not a race but people who follow the religion Islam, how can someone who does not like Islam be a racist?

Maybe we need a new term. Maybe religionist? If you don't like one religion, you are a religionist.

I read that they robbed a store. The cop was responding to the robbery.

To show support for current and fallen military personnel. There are groups that run the course in full military gear.

I was wondering if the 1000 mile range is the limit of this battery. Once you hit that the battery is done. They article calls this an air battery yet it needs water. Why not just go the hydrogen route? Aluminum with gallium and water. Use gallium to stop aluminum for forming that protective layer. Aluminum minus the protection will react with water to produce hydrogen gas.

It should be on the user to make sure that their computer is clean. Claiming ignorance is hurting everyone.

Which is why I usually stay one generation behind on video cards when I am looking for a new one. For what I play I do not need the latest card. I have the specs on what I need. A range of cards meet that spec. Also drivers usually have worked out the bugs by then.

Then again I left the epenis waving contest a long time ago. I have found that stability goes a long way to good gaming. I also no longer play fps games. Maybe today's fps games need the latest card to run well. My newest card is a AMD 6950 2GB model not the latest card. Runs everything great and runs cool (38 C idle 50 C under game load. It drops back to 38 C in a minute or two). I play with people that say I need to have a Nvidia card n order to play. Yet I have no issues with all the eye candy turned to the highest settings. They still crash from time to time. They blame the game. I blame their setup. You don't overclock unless you have enough cooling for it. More then just the CPU and GPU coolers are involved in the cooling setup. having one case fan doesn't cut it. Using that small cramped desktop case will make things run hotter as well. At the very least you should replace the stock GPU cooler thermal compound with a better one. They don't and over clock the GPU. Their GPU runs around 70 C. Which is too high in my book. Then again their CPU is around 65 C. That is also too high in my book. Mine hits 40 C under game load and idles around 28 C. My mid tower case has room in it. It uses three 120 MM intake fans (one blows right at the video card), 120 MM and 140 MM exhaust fans. Add in the 120 MM fan on the CPU and 120 in the power supply. The loudest fan is the GPU fan which is set at 100%. If I set the GPU fan at 70% I head the hard drive over the fans.

Apple anyone? Rumor was Apple was going with Nvidia. Nvidia announced that had a deal with Apple and then Apple (well Jobs) killed the deal. Why? Apple has to announces things on Apple's schedule i.e. at some hyped Apple event.

Many businesses are run by what many would consider to be not sane people. Sometimes that helps the business and others it hurts the business.

We wouldn't have to use nukes to bomb NK out of existence. those MOAB bombs are non nuke and can do plenty of damage.

They are spread out over the field so what? DO you actually think drones only have missiles? Also think of carpet bombing the NK army? Even using drones to do the carpet bombing.

The only reason NK exists today is because of China. IF China did not back NK in the 1950's thinks would have ended back then. If NK does attack the US first, things will get very ugly very fast. I wonder what China will do.

For laptop batteries I have been told that they (the batteries) will not get a memory. I have yet to find a rechargeable battery that doesn't get a memory. With a laptop it is easy to determine. You charge the laptop battery until fully charged. Then when running the laptop on the battery the low power warning pops up in 5-10 minutes (often less then 5 minutes). This is why I usually make a drain battery power setting plan. This power plan has no auto shut off. I can usually run the laptop with 0% battery life for 1-2 hours. Then the laptop shuts off. Turn the laptop on and repeat. When you might get the laptop to post and then it is off again you can charge the laptop battery for the number of hours it takes to get a full charge. This is a pain if you did not note that when you got the laptop. Mine is 12 hours. I have seen 8 hours, 24 hours, 6 hours you need to know what you laptop battery takes for a full charge. You can over charge it (I did on older batteries) it you leave them charging for too long. After fully charged hour-wise I use the laptop until the power runs out again. Then I charge it and change the power setting back to what I normally use. I get my full life out of the battery again. I usually drain the battery 1-2 times a year. I have a 8 year old laptop still on its original battery. I get 3 hours of no power saving use on it and 6 hours of power saver setting use. I do the same thing with my newer laptop. Until I see otherwise I'll keep doing what I am doing.

I know that is not what the laptop companies tell you. My own experience with about 100+ laptops and few thousand other rechargeable batteries is they all get a memory at some point. Draining them, the timed recharge, then use until out of power resets the memory.

I was thinking of using this glue on the chairs in Congress. That might keep those slippery critters there longer so maybe something will get done.

You mean like the vista progress bar did? Everyone heated that one.

It will take 10 minute no 5 minutes no 34567 days no 8 hours no 1000 years no 8 minutes to finish.

Once again proving the old saying "there is a sucker born every minute".

I realize this may be a foreign concept to the younger crowd but early in the console days it was not uncommon to go to a friend's house with the game and the console. So borrowing the whole system could happen. Try before you buy is a good idea. Considering the GP said that COD was the reason he bought an xbox. Maybe he was lent the game and console to play for a while?

Why is it that the 250 GB single platter drives sold out so fast? The reviews was saying they were fast drives and reliable. More heads means more chance of one of them going out of alignment and killing the drive.
