I'm stumped

No on-board video. I actually also re-used my old X-fi sound card; I've run with it with on-board sound disabled in bios, and without anything at all-- no card no bios, and the USB would still cut out. The only thing I can think of is maybe this mouse IS bad, and it is somehow affecting...

I'm stumped

It's a new motherboard, and case. And all the USB devices-- Logitech G15, Razer Tarantula Keyboard, and old Razer Diamondback and a New MS IE 3.0 are all wired. Does a GPU use the same rail as USB devices? Could a weird monitor or monitor cable be causing interference of some kind? Because...

I'm stumped

About a month ago, the computer in my signature below started having problems. The mouse and keyboard-- both USB-- would cut in and out; it got to the point where the computer became unusable. I figured it was time to build a new one, so I put together an AM3 system that re-used the old PSU...

Does it bother you when people say "axe" instead of "ask"?

And yet, you never hear an old White Southerner say it (or any White person, really) without it being an obvious influence of ebonic speakers to begin with-- and presumably African-Americans learned their English from white people. I wonder if African languages more commonly have "ax" sounds...

Palestinians Burn US Flags

Keeping it closed is just fine for Israel, because Israel doesn't want a solution; the longer they can keep delaying, the more settlements their fundamentalist fanatics can build and more Palestinians they can drive off, starve or shoot. The U.S.-- despite the whining from Tel Aviv--...

#OccupyWallstreet

There should have been an occupation of Wall Street in 2008, with torches and pitchforks; and Lloyd Blankfein-- and others-- should have been strung up by their testicles, flogged and disemboweled. Protests today? They already stole the trillions that actual laboring people spent a lifetime...

Shouldn't we be seeing the pilot's head?

Why is Ron Paul considered a nutjob?

Anyone who calls out Neocons by name, opposes ME-intervention and wants to dismantle the Federal Reserve is likely to be called nuts by the mainstream media. In fact, whenever the media frames just about anyone as oh-so-crazy, you can be pretty certain of what that person's opinions towards...

9-11-01 The day America lost

Out of all the memorial coverage, I didn't hear our ME policy as a reason for the attacks mentioned, even once. Official 9/11 remembrances are and will continue to be just more disinformation and propaganda with a sentimental faux-patriotic thrust, just more icing on the "they hate our...

9-11-01 The day America lost

This sounds patriotic and everything, and it's repeated by lots of folks daily, but it's empty. The towers were not owned by the American Taxpayer; they weren't a public works project like the Hoover Dam or something. Larry Silverstein, the billionaire owner owner of the Towers, put profit...

A fine mess that MI6, CIA, and Brits/American Admin got us into.

Surely our new puppets over there will work out for awhile, seeming initially to validate the Neocon notion that those people were just starving for "democracy" (i.e., controlled media and bought political parties and a central bank run by the usual suspects). There will be a backlash; we'll...

How come I never heard of these guys?

Well... Also, the chorus sounds pretty darn close, oddly enough, to Motley Crue's "Too Young to Fall in Love". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfN4vXQUJpg&feature=fvst Like "lawsuit" close.

Mass Effect 2...explain?

ME2 is much slicker and tighter than the first. But it narrows and "streamlines" itself so much that it fails to be as good a game. Moreover, on top of that ME2 has zero reason to exist with respect to the overall plot; it advances nothing and it clears up nothing: all it does is add a...

Corsair CX430 official review!

And yet your typical midrange gaming machine could have an Earthwatts in it and still have 50 watts to spare.
