Itunes: Biggest piece of crap ever?
Did i mention DRM sucks!!!!! Digital Rights Management. The agreement where you buy music from itunes and you don't own the license to your own music thus the person is really only renting music from itunes so they can inevitably rent it again and again. Just like Hollywood wants you to buy the next big thing now, BluRay so you can buy all your movies over and over again thus they have a steady income.

Would more U.S. troops help stop Iraq violence?
You've changed my mind Rosberg about responisbility but its such a clusterfu## that what can we do! Its a lose-lose situation. A middle ground would be great, but where is it really?

This topic is starting remind me of freedom and responsibility. Sartre and how we need a matching Responsibility statue. Didn't Sartre once say something about "we got the war we deserved" Can someone find this quote or a similar one because i've been scouring the internet so i could reexamine it

Would more U.S. troops help stop Iraq violence?
Hmmm, I wonder if genocide is possible between the shiites and sunnis, if that is what could happen, then maybe its better to get rid of a problem before it starts... Its a tough moral choice for sure now. The United States has been responsible for making such an instable government what it is today. Maybe the United States Gov does owe the the Iraqi Gov support to prevent a genocide. edit: I do believe the people who started the war in Iraq should be held completely responsible for their actions and all the lives they ruined, and hardships everyone is going through and will go through in the future. its a real shame...

It matters on the individuals definition of a just war. A "preemptive strike" sounds more like a nazi Germany tactic to me. Where as JFK only pushed the cold war as far as it had to go thus keeping it cold. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wish I could remember the name of that law that says controversial discussion, given enough time, will eventually involve a comparison in some way to Nazi Germany. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So i automatically forfeit the discussion? :'(

Thus the middle east is left a wreck again and we can rape their oil pumps once more! Let this be a lesson to those oil companies that try to move their oil currency to the euro!

Clausewitz discovered that by applying greater force to a smaller one, the greater force loses less casualties. So your over-simplistic model fails. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This was back in the 19th century though. We're not dealing with muskets and sabres anymore so would this theory still apply in ever more complex situations like Iraq and their car bombs, bazookas, and AK's?

The public didn't want more troops, that was proved with last years elections. This is becoming bushwacked. Hes trying to salvage anything ounce of dignity he can muster from this. T. Snow his Press Secretary says he can get it the 20K troops in Iraq even without the support of the house majority. How is this action possible if he doesn't have the finances to support such a bold move?

What a Baby is Alive?
This topic always has something underneath it, religion. The thought of the existence of souls. Although souls cannot be proven, and there are many definitions due to its non existence probably, the idea of one still infects our thoughts that can twist our reasoning. I'm going to have to stick with a utilitarian perspective and say keep them legal. Pro abortion western Europe legalizes abortion, and the countries pay for them. They talk about contraceptives and safe sex open, and they have the least amount of abortions in the world statistically. On the other hand Peru, Niger, Chile where illegal abortions have the highest abortion rate. The potential argument doesn't bring much in a debate to the table. This argument has the potential is overpopulate this world and destroy current human living conditions.

A New PC
Looking nice Bok! No I haven't gotten the Case or Motherboard yet. This weekend Ill order them up though! I am set on getting that case. I bought all the fans and i have my gear to organize the cables. I just read reviews on the P5N SLI 650i Motherboard and their great supposedly! But i can get a eVGA Motherboard dirt cheap for 210 bucks. the eVGA makes me nervous because I've heard a lot of problems with it.

A New PC
Judging from pictures the Striker Extreme and your p5n32-e sli look very similar, but your momboard has the useless features such as backlighting, back LCD, esata, and the highquality capacitators where their not needed, although your board has the capless around the CPU still which is awesome. Bok, how is your board running??? any news???

A New PC
I have this, with a Core 2 Duo processor. So far it's been absolutely fine, although it would be nice if it had another PCI slot. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> (w00t) Tell me more about it. I found this board on clubit.com for only $240USD. Have you encountered anything unusual? what ram did you buy? How hot does your chipset run? Do you like the new features NVidia offers with its chipset?

The Asus ROG Line are the only otherboards i see in the market that are at crazy prices. $300 - $400 so far there are only 3 different kinds.

211 pounds? I see it everywhere for $240 USD that should be a little less then half that in pounds right?

A New PC
Thats a good solid board, its just for the Euro market though. Asus just announced a simlar board called Asus Commando! Its basically the striker but with a P965 chipset in it. Im sure theyve found a way to make it cost about a $600. I still can't get over the $400 striker mobo! What a monstrosity. That price is not justifiable with what you get. Who the F cares about lights that much! And all that copper is a bit much too. hmmph.

A New PC
Sweet Jebus! good to hear good to hear. Can you toush your N and S bridge and tell me if their hot? I heard they run very hot. Are their any features you like in paticular about eVGA's 680i Momboard? What RAM did you choose? Are you going to OC your CPU FSB? I might get the P5N32-E SLI instead of the eVGA, both are 680i and i will get a 680i momboard definitely.

Relativists should at least draw the line biologically, thus this mutilation is an abomination.
