    Yep I had one of the failed motherboards, they even revised my motherboard to have solid state caps about 2 months after I bought mine. If I had know before the warranty was out I would have sent it in. They were the ones right next to my 8800 Nvidia card which you could fry an egg on, that might of had something to do with it also though.

    How so? I certainly see it as exposing information that the users may not know is being exposed, and may not know how to stop the exposure of the information. Kinda like I dont know a security breach.

    The people you serve with are like family.. in fact they are often closer then family.

    Someone talks bad about someone that you loved like a brother, There is a damn good chance hes gonna get his ass whooped.

    There are people that I deployed with that didnt make it back, If I heard someone talking shit about them, especially baseless hateful shit, I would fucking hit them too.

    You setting up straw man arguments. Stick to the facts..

    The people talking shit have no way to know if they are right.. they are saying it to be hateful.

    If someone was being hateful to your family, your telling me you wouldnt have the slightest urge to hit them? I call bull shit.

    Honest disgust at a persons opinion should not be marked troll.

    If he wanted to be trollish such terms such as fuckhead or asshat would qualify, although I believe they probably apply to the "prick".

    He also didnt threaten him, he said he doubts he would have the courage to come out of his basement and say it to a marines face. I honestly believe that to probably be correct.

    He never said "I would beat you up" Those are words you put into his mouth.

    If she was living in base housing she had to move out...

    If she had to move out she would probably move back to be close to her family for the support...

    She had no reason whatsoever to stay where ever her husband had been stationed

    She moved where there was no service...

    You SOOOOO right.. She should have to pay for that..

    Yes.. There are other companies that offer insurance for soldiers that don't have the war clause. USAA.. USBA.. AAFMAA.. are all insurance companies that offer insurance w/ no war clause.

    They do have the ability, In fact Verizon has given the ability to wave fees to their drones..

    When I had to put my contract on hold when I was headed overseas I called to pay my current bill and to put it on hold. I told the rep I was deploying and he waved my entire last bill.

    I also asked one of my friends from college who works at the Verizon call center in Nebraska, they are given the ability to wave fees for special circumstances up to and including the early termination fee.

    If they do it often though they will be reviewed, and it could look poorly on the drone. The drone was looking out for the drones sake and no one elses. IMHO the drone went against standard company practice to waive the fee, he should be fired.

    Frankly, I could care less if the US Bill of rights was based upon an german porno.. the point is, in the US the government does have the right to regulate commerce, in fact they over use it... see marijuana laws.. I dont care if the 1689 UK bill of rights says they cant.. GUESS WHAT.. THE US IS NO LONGER PART OF THE UK. Its been well over 200 years since we have been. Our laws are different..

    Your right that it may not "teach" them a lot, but if it makes it fun they can realize that science isn't always boring. It just might be the thing that makes these students want to investigate a future in science or computers. Would any of us have ever been interested in computers if we hadnt seen what amazing magical things could be done with them? A few of us maybe, but honestly not very many I think.

    Your absolutely right, we cant just go cold turkey on oil (It is an addiction). We know its an addiction though, we know there are dangerous consequences for using the oil as much as we do and in the ways we do. Now is the time to start to switch.
