China deserves bashing, its a one party state. Since when did we get all touchy feely about calling a dictatorship what it is.

This was supposed to be a budget system, where did all my money go all of a sudden.

Im getting one of those Zalmann Copper Jobs, they look so beautiful it's almost a shame I dont have one of those gamer porn cases with glass doors to show off all the LEDs.

Oddly enough asus PC probe, which is bundled with the mobo, has the CPU at 43 cel. The Bios has it at 62. Both are asus, who is right...

Well I guess another cooler is in order. I suppose all the wiggling around get the damn thing to fit ruined the termal coating. Intel idiots. Any recommendations here

Well everything posted, no sudden death moves from the hardware. The CPU registers as 62 degrees celcius while idle in the bios, the auto shutdown temp set by the mobo is 90 degrees celcius. Is this this an acceptable temp ? Couldn't install though, the ancient CDRom was detected, but it couldn't spin up. It gave a few unsavory noises and just stopped, works just fine when I put it back in this box. I thought about installing over a network, but I have no drivers installed on the new box, so that can't work. I guess a cheap CD/DVD drive is the next move.

Better keep a close eye on temps when I post and have a look at the bios

It's more like a random smudge on the top of the fan+heatsink now after fidgeting with the plastic snap on assembly of the cpu fan. Whoever thought that was a better idea than a set of screws ought to be shot in the heat.

Do you put thermal paste on the back of a core 2duo. The pamphlet is in a dozen languages and is exclusively legal mumbo jumbo, there are some drawings, and they don't show it, but who knows. The back of the cooler, intel boxed, has a sort of striped pattern in gray goop that looks like it might be thermal conductor.

The nosferatu particularly active ?. You don't want to invite the wrong person in.

Why the need for many reflective surfaces ?

The east germans were really good at marching in step too. They kinda had to be. Crowds of one mind ought to terrify anyone who gives it a second thought.

Didn't watch, won't until they instate some kind of mortal combat tournament where martial artists and WWF rejects fight it out to the death on a skull dais surrounded by a flaming lava moat.

I think internet cafes are still big there. Few people can afford the latest hardware.

It's interesting to speculate whether the cops just basically slapped him around until he told them what they wanted to hear. Thailand isn't big on civil rights, and something, I can't put my finger on it, feels a little off about this story.

Dictatorships employ the death penalty as a deterrent and a control mechanism for their own survival. In democracies, prison is the rational - and the death penalty the emotional choice. It caters to some deep seeded need beyond the principle of justice. Justice is the sense that laws apply equally to everyone. It has nothing to do with the extremity of the punishment once the need deter and ensure the safety of the populace has been satisfied. The US doesn't execute its citizens for any practical reason. However much bravado is behind it, it's something more sinister.

Incorrect, it fits neither of those categories as it does not harm or aid the host. Instead it is an example of commensalism (I think that's how you spell it ). I wasn't. That depends on whether the host considers procreation beneficial or not. the human emphasis on individuality can render us indifferent to the continuation of our genes. In any case it consumes resources much like, say a tape worm. Pretty foul analogy, but I suppose I'm being intentionally provocative.

Would it be morally repugnant to get rid of a parasite, no, how about a symbiote. At that stage thats the distinction. Personally I think it probably is questionable to repeatedly find yourself in need of an abortion. I mean, you would think one might be able to learn to properly use birth control after the 10th time. For some people that is apparently not the case.

Thats a bit like a firing squad, some of them get blanks. Really odd though, as if all these methods somehow make a difference. Spiritually, philosophically or otherwise. The guys who work the injectors call themselves technicians. They are executioners.

So **** hit the fan and my old box decided to die on me. Some builders working my building had been using heavy equipment and apparently used our grid. First the power was off in building, then it was on again, and then my old PSU started to trigger the auto shutoff everytime I turned the comp on. I guess the surge protector gave up or something. Anyway I can't get anything done without a comp, so I ordered everything on my list even though I prolly should have waited for the price shift with Nehalem. Anywho, can I install a 32 bit windows version on 64 bit hardware ?, a friend said he could fix me up with a 64 bit win xp, but its dragging out.

Why not just let him rot in jail, like in civilised countries.

Daggerfall was absolutely horrible. To prove it, try playing it again. I don't think you'll be able to. Sometimes this retro sentimentality just goes too far. You shouldn't try to make a 3d game with graphics that will make your eyes bleed. Just stay 2d.

I don't get it, Port ?

If memory serves : If there is only one drive, remove all the jumpers and it will be recognised. Otherwise consult the diagram on the HDD itself, it should be near the connector.
