    Justice for Zimmerman

    Seriously? Talk about knowing nothing of the facts. It was investigated. There's no IRS scandal. All sorts of 401c4s were put under extra, necessary scrutiny, left right and center. The person who came up with the idea to do it was a lifelong republican, and the person overseeing the whole...

    Yeah Linux native games are generally faster, depending on the quality of the drivers supplied for your hardware.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    In all seriousness, I've decided based on the compelling evidence presented in court and based on this thread that I agree with the defense and the verdict. I was then afraid that this verdict would come across as a tacit endorsement of vigilantism but then I realized that's actually probably a...

    My favorite part about this show is that Ray only speaks like 30 words in an entire episode, maybe less.

    Jesus fucking christ, read the god damn chart, and read their own fucking notes. It's not "randomly" aside from the random sampling. They took 44,520 cases, picked LESS THAN 10, presumably at random, and extrapolated from there. And they say exactly that. All that it means is that they...

    Aggro is going to be the only strategy after rotation unless Theros has some serious shit to make up for what's missing in the core set. Farseek leaving is a big deal for midrange and control decks, so is Think Twice/Thoughtscour. That's how control decks hit their land drops consistently and...

    Most Hispanics are white. Spain is where the span in hispanic comes from. Their descent is still mostly European. Most southern Italians are darker than people who trace their ancestry mostly from Spain, and that doesn't make Italians not white. There are some non-white Hispanics, ones...

    Advise on Sound Card/Headphone pairing; gaming.

    Word of advice about soundcards: Don't even bother if your motherboard layout is such that the card will be right up next to your video card. You will get EM interference and it will be annoying as fuck.

    They're fine. They do kinda brand themselves as making commodity parts, but they're fine. I'm a big fan of this Asus z87 Pro. It actually took all the fun out of tweaking the build afterwards, because everything just worked perfectly.

    Trayvon Martin, Had it coming? or not?

    So some criminals committed a crime and were sent to jail. How is that similar or relevant to this case? News is news when it's out of the ordinary. Someone committing a possible crime and not even going to trial is out of the ordinary, at least, we hope so.

    Wrong. See table 42. It means out of ALL 44,520 cases of rapes where black women were the victims, they took a total of 10 random sample cases and based their ratios for ALL 44,520 off of that. Not that there were less than 10 white on black rapes total. The same asterisk appears for the...

    Someone being found not guilty doesn't mean there shouldn't have been a trial in the first place. Casey Anthony was found not guilty and everyone in the fucking world knows she killed her kid. Having the trial was important. It demonstrates that the burden of proof is high to convict...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    If Trayvon was white and Zimmerman was black, how would it have been different? You can either say "it wouldn't have been different." Then it's not about race. OR you can say "it would have been different." Then it is about race. And by different, then would have been guilty. So I...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    There is no legal definition of 'found innocent.' It is literally not a defined term in American criminal law. You are assumed innocent, and it's up to the prosecution to prove you are guilty. If they cannot, you are found not guilty. You are not found innocent. That is not a thing.

    It has nothing to do with race. You can configure this scenario in any possible combination of races, genders, etc. And it has nothing to do with punishment, it has to do with finding out what the fuck actually happened, then proceeding from there. You have a legal adult that killed a legal...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    This is a completely dangerous line of thinking. Just because he was rightly found not guilty does not mean that it shouldn't have been investigated, it shouldn't have gone to trial or that he is innocent. Not guilty and innocent are not fucking synonyms.

    Just because SYG wasn't used in his defense once it went to court doesn't mean it has nothing to do with the case. The reason he wasn't initially charged immediately after the incident WAS because of SYG.

    I agree, and I'm glad Zimmerman got off due to the incompetence of the state and because of how the legal system is setup. But I think people have every right to be mad at how incompetent the state was with regards to this case. The state of Florida should have been on trial all along, not...

    Exactly, you can't prove intent. Trying to prove intent is fucking retarded. You should work backwards form the outcome, not try to figure out intent. This case seems to turn America into the fucking wild west. You can pretty much engineer a situation that will let you get away with murder.

    So let's say a man is stalking a woman at dusk with intent to rape. He goes to grab her, she turns and pulls a knife. He then shoots her. Should he not be charged with a crime?

    USB 3.0 isn't important for anything other than external storage. That said, the Asus z87 pro has 6 USB 3.0 ports on the back and zero 2.0 ports, the only 2.0 ports are from the motherboard headers. So yeah, the corner is turning. 2.0 slots should eventually go away.

    Z77 motherboard recommendations?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157304 z75 is the same as z77 without mSATA caching support, which is stupid anyway for desktops. Also, 'a bit of overclocking' is dumb. You should just let turbo mode do the work, it will actually perform better than mild overclocks.
