    "She was murdered by an individual with disgusting views"

    Looks like said murderer was running from a violent mob - https://twitter.com/brennanmgi... in the video you can clearly see that the guy was attacked seconds before (you see someone smash something against the car and the car get swarmed right before anyone gets hit).

    20:1 this is about to turn into a self-defense trial.

    Guess who else said those (nearly) same words phantomfive just said? Martin Luther King, Jr. Guess who sure as fuck didn't benefit from systemic racism? Martin Luther King, Jr. Perhaps you should go the fuck back to school so people wouldn't think you were foreign with that sort of ignorance about some of the more well-known people in our country's history.

    "better yet, come back at me when you can explain why Heather Heyer had to *die*"

    Guess you didn't watch the video, eh? The car hadn't done anything until AFTER Antifa started smashing it, thus attacking the person in the car, and then to top it off, they surrounded the vehicle. That is a clear assault and intent to commit further violent action, to which the guy responded by fleeing through the crowd, in his vehicle which was his only safe avenue of escape. She had to die because her idiot friends couldn't control their violent thug fucking urges.

    The blockchain works by basic majority confirmation. Thus, those with the majority of the processing power hold the majority confirmation, and can write whatever they want to the blockchain. This has always been the problem with permissionless distributed databases, besides the insane log over exponential growth rate that happens with bandwidth and energy requirements to keep an ever-growing decentralized database going and fault-tolerant.

  6. "The Supreme Court, in a landmark decision on Internet censorship, ruled Thursday that the Communications Decency Act is unconstitutional.

    In delivering its decision, the court sided with earlier rulings barring enforcement of the 1996 legislation, which Congress passed without hearings as a last-minute addition to the sweeping Telecommunications Act.

    Two federal appeals panels ruled unanimously last year that the law violated the free speech protections of the First Amendment.

    The Communications Decency Act was crafted to protect society, especially children, from sexually graphic material transmitted through the Internet.

    Opponents of the bill have argued that the legislation is far too broad and is unconstitutional. They also claimed that lawmakers and prosecutors have only a vague idea of what the Internet is.

    The law made it a crime punishable by two years in prison and a $250,000 fine to transmit indecent material over the Internet to minors. The legislation defines indecency as material that "depicts or describes, in terms patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards, sexual or excretory activities or organs."

    That definition, according to CDA opponents, is too vague and leaves enforcement of the law up to the subjectivity of authorities. Supporters of the bill say the law is needed to protect Internet-savvy children from having easy access to sexually explicit material."

    Also, section 230 was NOT part of the CDA, moron. That was added by the House of Represenatatives AFTER THE FACT. But hey, morons like you that never pay attention to government or law just keep making our country shit. Go fuck yourself.

  7. "CDA"

    You're a fucking moron if you think something that was ruled unconstitutional by the USSC in June 1997 has any fucking thing to do with a company that didn't exist until a full year later, you're delusional.

    You just clearly demonstrated how little you know about bitcoin.

    The mining power determines your ability to control the currency. China may have very few nodes but those nodes contain the bulk of the processing power. They can manipulate the currency (as the wealthy are doing right now in trying to move their currency out of China) as they control the majority of the actual network power.

    "Russia is building a nuclear bomb [newsweek.com] capable of taking out an area the size of Texas."

    10 Tsar Bomba warheads in one MIRV would not even take out half of Texas, reading up on the missile you mention, and it's not even getting warheads half that powerful. Try reading the article again and then thinking critically. The missile is designed to do one of two things: nuke one specific target to utter oblivion in the case of no missile defense, or to be able to have a good chance at pushing through a missile defense system and scoring one or two nuclear hits on the target and causing heavy damage. You aren't wasting huge amounts of precious nuclear material just to get one or two small hits in on a place. At best you're looking at 10 warheads in the megaton or three range.

    BLM always puts a full warning. Most common ones I see are "Warning! No Trespassing! Hidden Vertical Mine Shafts!" or "Warning! No Trespassing! In Use For Ordinance Testing!" Then I will see the occasional recent mining claim sign, in which case you can walk through but not touch anything.

    Both. I've yanked out plenty of "No trespassing" signs that were clearly on BLM land and LR2000 showed absolutely zero claims within 20 miles of the area. You just can't go throwing up signage on BLM lands without proper permit, generally by way of patented land or actual mining claims.

  18. VRM Heatsinks haven't stopped my fiance's FX-9370 from overheating and those came stock on the mobo. That thing's got a 240mm radiator with huge airflow venting upwards out of the case. Two intakes fans on the front going over the hard drives, one intake fan on the back blowing over the heat-sinked VRMs, and one side panel fan that blows directly atop the VRMs. GPU is shrouded and blows out the back, as does the bottom-mounted PSU. There's tons of airflow over those VRMs.

    The bitch still overheats. Primarily when Chrome is running (only had one overheat/crash since switching back to FireFox. Chrome would cause crashes roughly every 20-60 minutes once it managed to peg 100% CPU usage across all cores for some stupid reason or another.)

  19. And what do they recommend for the VRMs if you go liquid cooling, now that the airflow over them has essentially been stripped away? That's been a common problem most mobo makers don't consider.
