Epic :D I wish they were coming to Canada for this tour but they aren't for some reason :( At least not that I know of...

Mods can't double post, score should still be 732 :P

#3 is a lie. 1. I am the oldest of six children. 2. I work for the government. 3. I like Iron Maiden.

Bought the first one you recommended. Thanks a lot! And thanks to everyone else as well :)

Only upgrade I think I may do is a better video card and a coaxial adapter (not sure what they're actually called) to watch cable tv on my pc. If you think I should get something with a bit more wattage just in case, I can do so - I don't mind spending a bit more if it's worth it.

Thanks for the replies so far. My budget is $100 CAD but less is better. I should have enough room in my case to get a sizeable psu, my old one was pretty big.

Yeah I think that's the point.

Do your part, don't watch the video (I didn't).

Greetings, T&C. I shall tell you a story. I was loafting at home festering in my chair when I had the urge to partake in some team fortress II. As I did so (bearing in mind dear mother nature had seen it fit to bake us in a sweltering heat, and my father being too cheap to run the air conditioning, it was 30+ Celcius in my room) MY PSU WENT POP. No lie - it literally went pop. It had smelled like gasoline in my room prior to this occurrence but I thought nothing of it. Anyway I now find myself in need of a new one. TL;DR- My PSU broke. I have one (545 watts) but it's pretty crappy and I don't know if it would be okay for my build. Please reccomend me a new PSU. Old PSU: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341019 MY build: 8 gb ddr3 ram 3ghz quad core amd processor Radeon 5700? video card 500gb hard drive (not ssd) Thanks in advance!

What's the error that you get? Just looking at it, you may need to convert the parameters a,b, and c to floats.

I agree...but it just doesn't seem right to me to have someone making a dollar a week living in a shack and someone with cable tv in the same class in that manner.

I think this is a much more eloquent way of putting what I was getting at. Concise, is the word you're looking for. Doing a disservice, though? I'm pretty sure people don't care what they're called when they need assistance. 'Poor' is just a term they use to pinch out dollars and cents and look at the bare minimum to dole out money to. If it so offends your moral sensibilities that someone who needs assistance in America is classed as 'poor' by the government or by their community's own standards of living, then you truly need to grow thicker skin. This argument doesn't serve to put anything into perspective, which is what I think was the original goal, it's just quibbling over semantics. It doesn't offend me - but I do think this issue isn't black and white and the language used seems to muddy the issue because "poor" is such a vague word. While that is true, we aren't talking about the rest of the world's poverty issues and I think every one of us here is aware that there are billions of people in this world that experience a type of poverty that we will never be able to relate to. We have to keep in mind the context of America. What is the cost of living? What are our cultural values? What are our societal values? What is the value of our currency? While comparing incomes and living conditions across the globe can provide some staggering results, I don't exactly think that it's fair to demonize the American poor. It is immensely difficult to go against the cultural goal of this country, and that is lavish prosperity. Like magekillr said, television sets can be purchased at ridiculously low prices; the same goes for personal computers as well. Now I don't think that a family that is going hungry but has cable television is doing the right thing, but say their cable/internet bill is around $70/mo. Those of us who are buying groceries on a regular basis know that $70/mo is not very much for, say, groceries--especially for an entire family. Like I said, not smart, but not let's not demonize these people. I'm not demonizing. But I find it hard to have pity on people who use the government for necessities while spending on luxuries. Basic appliances are not luxuries - but multiple televisions, cable, internet, gaming consoles - those are luxuries. Hell, I'm not even poor (though not exactly rich) and we don't have cable, or gaming consoles, or multiple televisions just because there is a better, more practical use for the money than that.

If you can afford cable tv, internet, multiple televisions, a computer, and gaming consoles, then you aren't poor. You may be not very well off - which certainly merits assistance in itself. But calling people like that "poor" does a disservice to the real poor people in the world, of which there are many.

First - what kim said. Apply for the conclave! Secondly - we usually don't archive stuff because we like people being able to see it. However, in this case, seeing as it is very time-sensitive (aka no longer relevant after a while) I wouldn't be opposed to having an archive for old looking for a clan posts.

Apparently someone pied Murdoch in the face during the hearing. http://twitter.com/#!/DownGoesBrown/status/93350735286255617

No lol. If you need lotion, use lotion.

Actually I agree with Hamtaro. In my opinion most political parties are really just much of the same. They may have different policies to some extent but they both spew the same garbage, have the same scandals, make the same stupid mistakes, etc, etc.

This. Even if you do happened to get banned for some idiotic reason, making this clear in your appeal would straighten it out I'd think.

Isn't #2 a culture in itself? I'm in two minds. On the one hand - tradition should be remembered. On the other hand, culture often serves as just another useless barrier to peace and understanding, so...

Added skiing/snowing and volleyball.

Surprised no one has made this topic yet (as far as I can see). Post if I forgot anything!

Congrats RSD :)
