How about we put together a list of what (if anything) we think Obama will accomplish by the end of his term. Lets also throw in some sayings and predictions.

Then in 4 or so years we can see who was right! (and perhaps more importantly, who was wrong...)

What did we gain from that battle? Sometimes the war is not about ourselves. To withdraw now from Iraq would be the most horrible move that we can make. Currently, our troops over there, quelling the terrorists, assisting the Iraq government, training their soldiers to fight their own battles. We h...

Of course it doesn't work in all situations, but doesn't it imply that those who use it think it works in our current situation? I mean, why put up a sign with no meaning?

I have seen a lot of these "war is not the answer" signs lately, (what can I expect, living in Washington...) and I allways wonder what the question is. It seems that it would be logical to define the question before deciding what isn't an answer. Any help would be appreciated.

I hereby nominate this post to the Hall of Fame. It sums up an entire 4 page thread in 1 post.

I totally agree with Niel on this one (and only thing). This thread is awesome, and it is summed up in one post.

A must read!!

Hello, I didn't realize that it was GDDR2. It just so happens that they also sell a Nvidia 8600gt 256mb GDDR3 for the same price. Would that card be faster. First card: (512 GDDR2) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127310 Second card: (256 GDDR3) http://www.newegg.com/Product/...

I was looking for a new graphics cade to replace my old ATI X1300 PRO. While surfing around, i came across this card on Newegg, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127310 MSI Nvidia 8600, 512mb, and a PASSIVE heatsink. Is the stock heatsink good enough to keep it cool and quiet?...

Hello Sam, Heres a site that has some nice easy to read graphs that show global temperatures. http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/mod/resource/view.php?id=172089 And humans are affecting it this time around ! Just because it was hot before, doesn't "prove" that we are not affecting it. But just because it ...

Heres a site that has some nice easy to read graphs that show global temperatures. http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/mod/resource/view.php?id=172089 Look! There have been temperatures higher than they're now. Before there were people "poluting the planet"!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, someone will respond by sayi...

Assuming a closed room (no heat enters or gets out), opening the door of a working freezer will result in heating up the room. The heat is transported from one side to another, but the electrical energy of the compressor is added to the refrigerant. The net result is, you add the energy of the comp...

So according to you (Floffe), the oceans are rising and someday they will cause millions of people to become homeless. Then it seems that the smart move would be to start the moving process now. I certainly don't believe of the oceans rising thingy, it just seems that anyone who does believe it shou...

I have seen some evidence that "proves" that temperatures rise before CO2 rises. I have also seen evidence that "proves" that temperatures rise after CO2 levels rise. I cant find either pieces of evidence to post (i.e. not from Wikipedia), if anyone else can find them that would be great. I believe...

Yo, again This hole argument is useless unless someone provides some actual data that supports thier claim. Out of the five pages (so far), there's a lot of arguing and not much support. At least I posted a link to a pdf that is chock full of data and such. Those who don't believe it are not only ch...

it's considered a highly unreliable publication and unsuitable for reference . Do you wonder why it is unaccepted by most people? It's because most people don't believe what it says. Anyway, it already has been signed by 19,000 American scientists. Also, heres the site the pdf is on. http://www.ois...

And nature doesn't care, like at all, if you and your kind are wiped out in the process of reaching a new balance. I don't care and nature doesn't care, huh. So why don't we let nature take its course, not try change it. Polar bears, I'm sure, have changed the planet. Why don't the polar bears try ...

So what exactly are the effects of this so-called global warming?

If you can think of any, read this to see if they are there. http://www.oism.org/pproject/GWReview_OISM600.pdf

Happy hunting. Poor global warming...... might break its heart if no-one can find anything.

1 We are not trying to deny that there such things as "greenhouse gasses" 2 I do not study nature, but I know there is a balance. And it just so happens that the "balance" rights itself, by itself. 3 We are not denying the facts, we are denying the theory. 4 There is not a myriad of data, there are ...

Just wanted to let everyone know, "Information can be found to support anything an the internet." So what if the earth may not be "normal". This whole debate is centered around the thought that the earth isn't normal, maybe we just need to open our eyes and look past the tv screens. Normal may not b...

Hello, The ice caps, permafrost, and glaciers are melting faster than they were. I think you mean "some" are melting faster than others. But according to here, http://www.iceagenow.com/Growing_Glaciers.htm That shouldn't make much difference if more ice is forming right behind them. Also, the earth...

HI, again, I am in the need of a quiet 92mm fan. I am pretty sure that the case I got (Antec Solo) only comes with the one 120mm fan, and I need another one to use as an intake. I looked at the SPCR 92mm fan roundup thingy but could not find anyplace that sells them. Any help would, uh, help. Thanks

I finally did the inevitable. I purchased an Antec Solo case from eBay for $55 including shipping. Any advice concerning this case?

Also, concerning torture...

What would you do to save 100 people? 500? 1000? I defend the US government. Period.

Totally off subject I know, but here. If torture is wrong, think of the circumstances. If the US had gotten hold of someone who new about the planned attacks prior to 9-11, would they have been justified in using torture to get the information? Its not "clearly stupid" to me. Killing is wrong also, ...

Ok, I actually did some research into the Antec Solo case. Originally thought it was too expensive but found a "used" one on eBay for Buy-It-Now $35 plus $20 shipping. Sounds good enough for me. A shame to lose that clear case though...

Thanks

Ok, I stuck a pencil in the front fan and turned the pc on, somewhat quieter. The side fan makes even less of a difference. So I covered the front fan with a cd case and it was much quieter (not silent or anything, just better). So I'm guessing that a good portion of the noise is escaping through th...

Great info, The walls of the case are quite thick, comparing to the Dell Dimension 2350 sitting right next to it (it's much quieter). Something like 5mm, it is a very solid case. Anyway, thanks for all your help, I wanted to make sure getting new fans would quiet things down, I didn't want to spend ...

One question. Why is it that my case is bad? If it's because of the front fan, then I'll just remove it and get a bigger fan somewhere else. I don't really see the advantage of replacing the whole case instead of just the fans. What would the difference be, other than coming (maybe) with pre-install...

Got speedfan, really neat... Reads flaming-hot 62c for the cpu Reads red up-arrow 45c for internal temp I know these are high, but I've already gone through all the sweat of figuring out what was causing all the high temperatures. Turns out that P4 HT "prescott" cpu's have this high operating temp. ...

Gee, thanks, I'm guessing that the case fans are the major cause. The cpu cooler, http://www.nextag.com/Power-Up-PowerUp-P4-583864614/prices-html?nxtg=1ff0f0a1c0516-ABE5C88A539A6FD9 Not the exact model but looks the same. So, should I remove the front fan and replace the other two fans with the reco...

What? Do away with the clear case?

I was hoping just changing the fans and such would suffice.

Is my case that bad? Probably is, but was hoping to get away with it.

I don't want (wouldn't like) to spend over $50. Is it possible?

Thanks, I will took into it...
