I too have the same motherboard and it is rock solid for me, I have this system up nearly non stop and it only comes down when I want to dink with some internal hardware, 30-45 day uptimes on average. My experience with driver support, exquisite! When ever I need new drivers for it or my nVidia video card, I can quickly and easily find them
Btw... did I forget to mention that I'm running Windows?
However you do have a better chance of being killed by a drunk driver then a terrorist while on US soil... still both are crazy as they are simply attempts to make the public feel safer rather then actually solving the problems in the first place.
How about technology education? What would you say if I told you that in each county of the state there is at least one (but more often then not many more) DDN room which offer video conferencing systems where students can take classes from teachers anywhere in the state. This is another technology that we've had for years here and continue to expand upon.
Teachers here aren't given these tools and told to have use them, they are given training on how to more effectively use them in their classrooms.
So you're against the military? The federal highway system? What about all those other programs that your tax dollars have gone to over the years that have benefited you either directly or indirectly?
By what you're saying, though... do you think people should just leave small towns and farms in a mass exodus? You should spend some time out here and see the quality of life. I've got an hour commute each day where my average speed is 65 mph! I do this because I live in a nice small town of 6200 people where nothing happens. Take a look at a local telivison stations web site, or the local news paper of Sioux Falls, the biggest city in the state. What do you see? Very little in terms of violence or conflict often times. Big news here is when our former governor and congressmen does something stupid and gets himself convicted of manslaughter.
I grew up in the Minneapolis area of Minnesota and deliberately moved out here for college and have stayed afterwards to get away from over crowdedness, traffic, and many of the other less then fun aspects of big city life.
If you think we are devoid of culture you only show your ignorance to some of the original cultures on this continent.
You are correct in part, however when you're buying bandwidth at the state level, for the entire state system you can get decent prices from the telco's.:) shhh though, that's our little secret.
Nay, regulations are often quite useful and can benefit consumers.
Ever look at some of your cable or cell bills and see as what I think is called the "Universal Access Fee"? Ever wonder where these 'fees's go?
Here in South Dakota, we've got a few big cities (by SD standards) and lots of small ones. Even in some of the medium cities, there is little financial incentive to build out broadband networks to consumers. Such fees go into a pool to provide the needed incentives to network operators to expand their broadband networks out to those who otherwise might be cut off.
As an example of this, since 2000 I believe, South Dakota has had at least a T1 running into each and every public elementary, middle and high school in the state.
I've got friends on farms who surf the net using cable or high-speed wireless, all made possible through such service fees and regulations.
Isn't one of the benefits of the internet it's access to everyone? Shouldn't we help bring such access to all of those in our country who otherwise might be cut off from it and who are willing to pay for it?
The 17 other residents and I are outraged at your narrow sightedness! If you'll excuse me though... I must get out of Buffalo stampede that is approaching.
As a resident of the great state of South Dakota who has an hour commute each day through corn fields... I thank you for your federal tax dollars, not just for the corn, but also for the highways... bowahahahaha!
This morning when I had McDonalds for breakfast, I discriminated against the Egg McMuffin by having a Sausage Egg McMuffin, just as I discriminated against Burger King by going to Mcdonalds.
Funny thing about harassment and discrimination is that unless it breaks the law, you're safe.
Example: In my state (South Dakota) I had some major problems with a professor (who I am happy to say I eventually helped to get removed) and claimed he was harassing me as well as making it very difficult for me to go to his class, unfortunately, the university and the law enforcement could do little because I am not a member of a protected class.
White privilege my ass! The 'American White Male Aged 18-24' is the most discriminated against class in the US currently, and because I am one of those, nor part of a religion which is favored, they couldn't do a thing about it.
Note: If I'm not mistake, this harassment was classified as 'unprofessionalism' as they were building a case to get rid of him.
Partially true, however as the corny line goes "possession is 9/10ths of the law". You are incorrect however, possession of a large collection of MP3's which you do not have the rights to is still copyright infringement.
If I were to install a piece of pirated software on my mothers computer with out her knowing, she is still liable for any damages for said infringement because even though I carried out the actual copying, she was in possession of it.
As this code is copyrighted, and which copyright is owned by Microsoft, you are right that any unauthorized distribution is copyright infringement, however, by simply possessing said code, you are diluting the value of Microsoft's copyright on it, causing a loss (indirect granted) to them and still in violation under the same laws.
Unless this source 'leak' was officially sanctioned (which we know it wasn't), possession, use, distribution, etc of said source would be illegal, regardless of if you have a legitimate copy of windows 2000 sitting on your home pc.
Also, the EULA covers the final product, not the original source. There are separate license agreements for that source.
I too had several programming classes like this, both paper and floppy (although a zip was acceptable). The idea was that the professor could quickly go through the stack of floppies while at their computer to verify that the program ran correctly, and then have their TA (or themselves) go over the code with a fine tooth comb (at times) anywhere else and verify it's correctness to the rules.
You mean that Germany is a shitty place to work if you run/own your own company... it's still great place if you are just an employee.
What I wouldn't give for vacation time! Oh yea... I'm just an intern and have no hope of vacation time until 2 years after I'm hired FT at my present job (if they do).
Quite true! I live here in South Dakota and should I be offered a FT gig here at the place I've been for 9 months as an intern (two of which as a graduate with my CS degree), I'll be offered a lil over half what that article claims for CS degrees.
Why?
Substantially lower cost of living (dirt cheap auto insurance, no personal income tax, etc) as well as the low demand for computer people, think about it, when you think of a place like South Dakota? What tech companies come to mind? You know there's... Gateway and... oh yea... no one else right?
There are great places here such as Sencore, Lodgenet and plenty of other (substantially smaller) tech startups (hard to believe I know) who find SD and it's labor force exceptional for their needs.
Since 2001, Senator Daschle has been running the South Dakota Technology Summit with the goal of further making SD into a place where tech companies want to be. We've got the people, we've got the work ethic and the skills... we just need more companies who need us!
I graduated back in December and have been an intern with this company for the last 9 months... oh I hope these salaries accurately predict what I may get if they do decide to offer me a full time position... if/when that should happen.
Nay, check the books. While traditionally in this country we speak English. It is the language you talk to your insurance person in, it is the language the girl at McDonalds takes your order in, and it is the language that your tax bill is in, the US has no 'official language'.
In virtually all places in the US, if a person goes to a public school, the school is required to accommodate them because of this lack.
Example:
Note: I'm going to come off as a racist by saying this but so be it.
Years ago when my ancestors came over on the boat, they quickly realized that they needed to learn the local language (English) otherwise they'd be left behind, because if they didn't fit in to get a job, someone else was going to get the job they were working for.
Today, in places such as California which provide bilingual education and even bilingual directory assistance, there is not the push to force people to learn the local language; many realize that there is a support mechanism for them if they choose not to assimilate.
If I'm not mistaken, for the recent California recall election, the ballot was printed in 7 different languages!
Think of the cost savings both locally and federally if a language was made the official language and those who do not read/speak/understand it had to make accommodations for themselves instead of expecting/demanding/etc that accommodations be made for them free of charge.
We convert the 100 million eruo to $123,000,000, assume they get just as many airline miles... figure 100k miles per first class ticket between the states and Europe and Microsoft saves themselves the need to buy 1230 international airline tickets in future... talk about a business write off, lol.
Ultimately the market will decide, not a research study.
Personally I don't care what my phone's OS is so long as it works, period. But then I've got simple requirements for my phone, I don't want/need it to do video, pictures, web, chat, etc.

Yup, just the tranny which is no longer my problem :) And now my beautiful vehicle has had it's cosmetic (deer caused) damage fixed, so I'm very happy.
Lemme double check mine, I always forget... oh yes, I've got the number 43 on mine!
The 17 other residents and I are outraged at your narrow sightedness! If you'll excuse me though... I must get out of Buffalo stampede that is approaching.

Technically yes, legally... no.

Why would you patch a Linux kernal for a BSD problem? That's like patching Windows due to a linux problem.
There is a difference between language and culture.
Linux support is not everything, nor should it be considered as a sole deciding factor in the building of a PC.
I do not run Linux, nor do I have any plans to on my desktop, thus Linux support for it matters less to me then your meaningless opinion.

and yet we still do not have an official language!
don't those things have a daily limit regardless of how much you have in the bank?
Every now and then I go over said limit and have to call the bank and beg them to up the limit that day so I have access to my money.
...they get their airline miles for the purchase.
We convert the 100 million eruo to $123,000,000, assume they get just as many airline miles... figure 100k miles per first class ticket between the states and Europe and Microsoft saves themselves the need to buy 1230 international airline tickets in future... talk about a business write off, lol.
