I learned about all these results as a psychology undergrad. Google for "stereotype threat" and IQ to get you started.

Wow, you are like, so deep and stuff. I mean, if God created everything, then who created God? Did he create himself? Or herself? Oooohhh...but that wouldn't matter would it? Would it?

The relationship between race has only been demonstrated on measures of general intelligence, like an IQ test, and have nothing to do with the bell curve.
Skipping the discussion about whether or not the IQ test means anything, the reliable result is that blacks score about ten points lower than whites. However, this effect goes away if you do not present the test as an intelligence test.
This effect goes away when you don't present the IQ test to the black person as a test of intelligence. Curiously enough, if you have asian students indicate that they are asian before taking a math test, they do better than if they aren't reminded implicitly of their ethnicity. If you have girls indicate their gender, they tend to do poorer than they would have without this implicit reminder, although this effect is getting weaker as time goes on.

Blacks are more racist than whites - There are blacks who make their living doing nothing but turning everything into a race issue (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc)
Way to generalize from a small sample, buddy.

What? Ecstasy is one of the "safest and least addictive" drugs? What kind of nonsense is that? Also, the "propensity to use drugs" as you call it is a broad feature of human physiology and behavior. It's ridiculous to claim that drug use is in any dependent on the minor genetic differences that define ethnic groups.

Well, if Google is any indicator of a phrase's frequency of use:
Except it is commonly known that alcoholics who put your idea into practice, that is, get all of their nutrition from beer, suffer from thiamine deficiencies and develop Korsakoff Syndrome. So if you're going to go on that liquid diet, at least take supplements, or drink German beers, which have plenty of thiamine.
AOL faked an illegal release so that tons of people would have copied of illegal source code. Then, if a similar competing Open-Source project is created they can easily claim it used their code and wasn't actually developed independently. After all, they could definitely say that the authors of the other project could have easily stolen their source code.
What's in it for AOL to do this? I don't understand what they'd gain through such trickery.
Too bad this won't work. The LCDs on laptops usually use a proprietary digital input. I've looked into this several times, and every site I've seen has said the same thing "don't bother, it doesn't work".
What I'm waiting for is for someone to come up with a tool that lets me copy files off peoples' iTunes shares. iTunes currently does not allow this (and with good legal reason). Also cool would be a winamp plugin so that windows users can share the love.
I will grant you that dust and other wear and tear might lead to replacing the fan (and _maybe_ the heatsink, though I can't imagine it getting so dirty that a little compressed air wouldn't clean it), but honestly how many times are you going to do that?
Printer ink is a different case. If I'm replacing cartridges every month or so, then of course I want the freedom to buy cheapo ones or refill them. Heatsinks are not high-dollar items, and I can't imagine that AMD would mark up replacement heatsinks the way, say, Epson marks up their ink, since you'll need to buy one or maybe two replacement HSFs until you get a new CPU altogether.
How did the parent get modded "Insightful"? This is not at all like printer manufacturers forcing you to buy ink from them. Tell me--how many replacement heatsinks do you typically buy for your CPUs during their useful lifetime? Zero? One?
As other people have pointed out, this is AMD's way of covering their asses from all the [H]ardOCP morons that will slap the HSF of the week on their new chip then complain when it breaks.

Well, if Google is any indicator of a phrase's frequency of use:
"can't understate" - 291 results
"can't underestimate" - 4,470 results
Or maybe IHBT.
Um, it's trivial to build a delay into a script. Programmers do it all the time for any number of reasons.
what?
It's called cognitive computing because the models they are implementing are heavily informed by theories from the cognitive sciences.

You suck.
The parent comment is funny (especially item #5), please mod accordingly.
Sorry, even winamp.com spells it "Winamp" not "WinAMP". Get with the times.
^^^ Fixed for you.
Or perhaps it's because most of the people on SA are underage boys...
Yes, but if they DON'T WANT WASTE RELEASED/DISTRIBUTED, what would they stand to gain from suing similar projects?

I don't get it. (Seriously, what's the gag?)
That's W A S T E, not 'Waste'.
