That's an odd first name. I would have preferred:

Re: Housebuilding in Finland

Thank you for the informative post. It is nice to see how such things are done in other countries. Small questions: - I noticed that for the water pipes for heating the floor has red and blue pipes, presumably for hot and cold water respectively. I was wondering if this system can be used to cool th...

Re: "Rate my Rig" thread

I'm not up to date regarding the CPU, Motherboard, etc, but I'd like to just say that you should try to get an SSD if your budget allows for it, at least big enough to load your OS and perhaps a few select games. As I understand it, HDD read/write speeds are often the main performance bottleneck. I'...

Re: Killing the myth of Chernobyl

Thank you for posting that. It's very interesting.

However I am curious about the Fukushima incident which is still ongoing now. Is it as dangerous as some people think or is it just hysteria, similar to the Chernobyl incident?

Re: You guessed it, another shooting.

Thank you all for your inputs. I understand a little more about the situation now. I guess I was just coming from my own perspective and trying to apply that to the situation in the US.

Re: You guessed it, another shooting.

The Duchess is entirely correct about my lack of understanding about the necessity of guns for self defence (against people and dangerous wildlife) in a large country. I didn't think of it from that angle. However, that could be covered by restricting gun sales to non-automatic weapons of a certain ...

Isn't Singapore different from the other examples by being a sovereign nation? Sorry if I am making an irrelevant point, heh. I know Singapore was once part of Malaysia.

My lord, I humbly suggest focusing our attentions of the Venetians, the traitorous and greedy scumbags. They hold our island of Crete - a strategic point in the eastern Mediterranean, and the province of Albania, neighbour to our existing holdings. It would be wise to build up our armies and navy an...

I watched it last week and found it to be a good movie. It has an interesting concept, and executes it well without being too over-the-top. I found the parallels between the fictional time system and today's economic system to be quite obvious as well. The rich live lives of opulence, tucked away in...

Re: "Rate my Rig" thread

No, I do not. However, many of these cards have some kind of backplate which is fairly rigid and thus the card doesn't flex too badly; even if they don't, it's rare for the sag to be any kind of problem unless you have those screwless expansion brackets. Making sure the card is securely screwed int...

Hi starslayer, About the sagging cards, do you have any links or articles which indicate that the cards are designed to sag and be okay?
