This is Reagan era pure, unadulterated bullshit that equates fight for social justice with being a "Dirty Commie" or worse, an unwitting pawn of Dirty Commies... utter bullshit.

Yes, the liberals of the West were by and large held delusions about what the Soviet Union was, however the issues they were fighting for at home - racial equality, keeping corporate power and the rich in check - were anything but.

You could use this to check what version of Windows 7 you have installed.

Tentative bump.

Always check your MOBO manual before upgrading! Reading the damn thing will often save you a lot of headache down the line:

http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5G41TM_LX/#download

Your MOBO supports 1333/1066/800 MHz RAM. My guess is, you have 800 MHz RAM, only showing up as 400 since it's operating in Single Channel mode.

(Maybe 1066, albeit MOBOs with Intel controllers are *really* picky about what RAM they will work with at higher speeds)

You could buy a pair of 1066 MHz RAM, in a kit, as that will ensure the pair has the same timing and spare you any incompatibility hassles down the road. Since RAM is cheap at the moment there's no point in trying to be frugal.

Check the Qualified Vendor List when buying RAM! In my experience you *will* get 800 MHz speed regardless what brand you buy, but to use 1066 MHz you need to pick what you buy. (This is what sucks about Intel chipsets). (All in all the performance gain from 1066 MHz over 800 MHz RAM is negligible, but why not use what you have when it only takes a little care to ensure?)

The maximum ammount of RAM you can install in 8 GB. You won't be able to use 1333 Mhz RAM in dual channel mode (which cuts bandwidth in half, hence kinda defeats the whole purpose). See page 1-13. Disregard that! Looks like some RAM configurations *can* be used in 1333 MHz dual-channel mode... however you'll have to be *really* picky (once again, check the qualified vendor list) about the RAM you buy.

Second, when upgrading a CPU I tend to check these sites to make sure my MOBO is compatible with that I want to buy (had some nasty surprises with LGA478 MOBOs):

http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/

http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ASUS/P5G41T-M_LX.html

Your MOBO supports CPUs up to the Q9650 (the strongest LGA 775 CPU there is), so you're covered on that front. You'll have to make sure though that your BIOS is at least version 0301, if not you'll have to update it.

Oh for the last time: the AM3+ is a dead socket for an inferior line of CPUs. Until AMD comes out with something new and viable, plz. stop recommending it on the grounds that it's "cheap". You'll only force the user to upgrade their entire rig (yet again) when AMD *does* come out with a CPU on par with the i-series from Intel.

Also: Using "tuning" or "overclocking" RAM is a waste of money. The performance gain is so negligible that you need specialized benchmarks to even notice it.

@Rick Darkheart: You actually have two choices, like I did

a) Upgrade the current rig with a 4-core, high end LGA775 processor (the Q9xxx line), more RAM... and that's it. Your GPU is actually decent. You're lucky, since your board already uses DDR3. Putting in more RAM will also help, as you'll be able to use dual-channel that effectively doubles the bandwidth between the CPU & RAM.

b) ...buy a new MOBO and CPU. Intel just switched to the Socket 1155, so that's the kind you want if you go down this route.

Regardless what you choose you'll have to reinstall your OS, as you're still using a 32-bit install that's limited to 4 GB total (GPU+System) RAM by the 32-bit address space. By switching to 64-bit, you'll be able to escape that limit and use more RAM.

Next you *might* want to buy a newer GPU. As I said, your current one is 'decent' (I have the same model), but it's old for cutting edge gaming.

(Go to the last page to see which model is where in the hierarchy)

Don't forget that we're talking about a country that *did* suffer from a terrorist attack committed with Sarine gas... by a bunch of loonies.

Homosexuality is attraction to one's own gender. Period. There's nothing more to it. Lesbians love each other because that's what they do. They don't do it because they have this inner image of what a queer should be or to somehow fit an image of homosexuality you might have.

Sexual act involving object or items are just that: sexual acts. In fact even if a pair of lesbian actually found dicks to be arousing, cute or the best thing ever, they'd still be lesbians. Why? Because they still wouldn't be attracted to men.

You can't cherry-pick certain acts or behavior and label them one way or another. Humans are too complex for that. In fact this whole 'labeling' business is the domain of the religious, the bigoted, the authoritarian who wants to enforce their *own* ideals on the rest of us.

Oh Stephen! What would I do without thee?

As my 2nd waifu I claim Erica Blandelli from of Campione!. One of the few heroines who can not only keep pace with the guys but literally twirl them around her fingers with her wits, grace... and merciless teasing and ridicule. She's the kind of girl who makes you go full tilt as that's the only way to keep up with her.

Did a quick search on Amazon and LELO's Nea vibes can be got for around $40-$50. From my own experiences and that of all the girls I talked with who bought one, you can't go wrong with LELO (they give a 1 year warranty on all their toys).



Most of the time you really *are* better off buying something more expensive as these will just last you longer... and no batteries! You just hook this thing up to a charger and it will last for hours.



The Lily is a more expensive (+~$10) version of the same toy. While the Nea has a black plastic finish, the Lily sports a smooth, silky silicone one.

Just read the article in my signature.

My guess is that the computer only recognizes the device if it's actually physically plugged in vs. just turned on. I'm not that familiar with the USB architecture to know what's really going on.

An example from Hungary:


...though knowing them, they probably just took the story from somewhere else. Anyone else have some info on who brought this angle up first?

As my 1st waifu I hereby claim Tohsaka Rin from Fate/Stay Night.



She's the dream girl of men who want more than a pretty face or a submissive personality. She's as far as from the traits of the emotionally retarded and childish girls - nowadays codified as MOE - as one could ask for.

I hope we can get through the first date without her shooting me with Gandr or her having to regrow my vital organs after a homicidal Irishmen stabbed them.

Jacob is already using a caching and load-balancing service, so there's not much to be done and little that can be.

FAKKU can't take donations, Jacob doesn't want to put any part of the site beyond a paywall while advertizers pay what they do, which is what keeps the site going now.

Put the "align=center""/align" tag (with [] instead, "")around the image.

All this talk won't accomplish anything, as teens have it in their mind that adults around them just wanna jank their chain and boss them around and they won't have any more of that...

My advice? Buy a pack of condoms, give them to her and tell her to keep 'em on hand. You've just done ten-times more for her actual safety than all the sermons in the world.

As for turning into a slut? Get real... she's 15, more than old enough to be sexually active, heck in most of the world she's soon gonna be over the age of consent (16). Girls don't turn into sluts by being sexually active, they do if they do so without any shred of responsibility or personal commitment to their partners.

If you actually want to help her, ask her about her boyfriend and take it seriously. It's *not* make-believe, puppy-love or just fooling around. It only becomes such if everyone tries to treat it as such.

By treating her relationship as something serious you give her a chance to deal with it in a responsible, adult manner. Sex goes hand in hand with relationships and what you should aim for is not abstinence, but responsibility.

On the flip-side, you should also hold her boyfriend to a similar demands: He's to treat your sister as a person, not some conquest or easy fling. This means keeping confidences and being honest to one-another.

Likely both of them will screw up, as they're young and inexperienced, but it's way better to do that and try to apologize, to amend, to work at it and learn about things, then just to throwing consequences to the wind and moving on without having learned a thing from their experience as things burn.

So, Christmas has come and gone, maybe for some it came early, for some it might be still going. Has anyone got anything nifty?

Erm... same way you installed them? Go into the Control Panel --> Add Remove Programs, remove all codec packs you installed in the past?
