    I'm actually really fucking pissed off at Intel. Devil's Canyon is just what the 4570k and 4770k were SUPPOSED to be, what they were sold as, except they have faulty TIM which renders the overclockability nearly pointless. However, I'm not pissed off enough to ever actually even contemplate...

    Well the mobs actually have decent AI, so that makes them nothing like most Borderlands mobs, and way more like Halo.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I wish they had saved the Darth Sansa scene for this episode. There would have been a lot of symbolism in showing the 4 Starks each ready to train under a new master. Rickon doesn't count. He is literally fucking useless. Though, knowing GRRM, Rickon is probably going to be the king at the...

    I get the feeling a lot of people are doing these sealed just to spend tickets to open packs directly, to play the Mox Lotto. A lot of round 1 drops from what I've seen. Competition is just really light in the sealed queues.

    Devil's Canyon CPUs are releasing the 25th. Intel Core i5-4690K Haswell Quad-Core 3.5GHz LGA 1150 Desktop Processor BX80646I54690K - Newegg.com You can preorder there. Definitely worth getting this over the 4570k if you can wait the extra week and a half.

    Check all the power cable connections and reseat the ram. Disconnect all the drives and see if it boots up to where it's looking for an OS to boot from. If you can't even boot up to that point, it's fucked.

    3 of those are private enterprises. The remaining one, affirmative action doesn't work anything like how most people imagine it works. Specifically, most people don't realize that quota systems are expressly illegal in the US.

    I'm not actually attempting toproveanything. I said from the start that 'white privilege' is a bullshit term to begin with. I'm just proposing arguments that might not be considered by a group of people who share a relatively homogeneous white male perspective on society.

    As opposed to your unsubstantiated bitterness at privileges you imagine other classes to have? Seriously, this is turning into a typical MMO argument thread where lets say, warriors complain about rogues or warlocks being overpowered because they happen to be better at one specific thing.

    That's the whole point of the white privilege argument. It's a bunch of nonspecific, passive biases that add up to significant benefits in the long run, rather than codified laws that provide specific protections in specific circumstances. Which would you rather have? Feel free to chop your...

    I agree with most of that. Recess was eliminated for insurance costs and supervision costs in a lot of places, so it's hilarious that AEI would bring up that point. The only gender studies class I ever took, my final paper was on the War on Boys, and it was one of the worst grades I ever got...

    If you want to overclock you should just wait a month or so until the 'Devil's Canyon' Haswell-k CPUs come out with the new thermal interface material. Intel is saying they can do 5ghz on air cooling. The 4670k can barely get to 4.2 stable on good motherboards, and at that point it's not...

    Up until this year, there were laws that made it so men's "reproductive health issues" (aka penis pumps and boner pills) were covered by insurance but birth control was not.

    That wasn't the point of my response. The point is that there aren't as many "laws" that "systemically and openly benefit women vs men" as Araysar thinks there are. I was attacking his premises, which is a valid way to invalidate an argument.

    The post I was responding to was Araysar's which said that there's a "law on the books which systemically and openly benefit women to the detriment of men" with regards to maternity leave vs paternity leave. All I said was that wasn't true. Even simple, plainly factual statements are being...

    Exactly, whatever system your employer has. There's no federally mandated system for paid maternity leave. What system your employer or union has is a different matter entirely.
