    you obivously missed the part about his current system being six years old. how can he test a pci-e 2.0 video card on an agp board, or ddr2/3 ram on an old board, or how can you test a new cpu on an old board?

    on the other you probably wouldn't be getting your parts spread out more than a week or so even if you bought every part from a seperate vendor.

  17. Re:What happened to good old morality ?? on Our ATM Is Broken, Go To Jail · · Score: 1

    I see it as a fuck the system thing. I won't fuck over another human being, but if I could get away with the ATM spitting out twenty dollar bills, I would take the money, but I know that is an impossible dream. but you are harming other people when you do this, as of yet no one has cultivated a tree that bears monetary fruit. So if you and everyone who follows the same thought process as you is taking that $20 atm error and keeping it; it is biting into the bank who has to somehow make up for that loss and in the end that will come back to the customers of the bank having to pay higher fees or getting lower returns on their savings. As they say there is no such thing as a free lunch.

  24. Re:What? on Is Cash No Longer Legal Tender? · · Score: 1

    he may bee referring to security sensitive government jobs, they run a lot of background checks to get someone a security clearance. it wouldn't surprise me if a credit check was one of them; not because your required to have good credit to work for the government, but because it is one more way for them to validate you are who you say you are.
