    dude this tax will affect me and I make a measly $43k supporting me and my wife and her thousands of dollars in student loan debt.

     

    Adding the cost of the insurance to gross income hurts the unwealthy more than the wealthy. For instance, adding $5000 to the income of someone making $50k is a 10% increase, while adding $5000 to someone making $500k is only a 1% increase. Guess who is hurting more from this tax?

     

    Hate to say it but MP was right on this one.

    This summer I’m looking to upgrade from my 8800GTX to something mid-range but still completely better than my current card, I’m also looking to upgrade from my 19″ monitor to something like 22-23″ or so. I’m looking for opinions for the best monitor sub ~$200-250 or so WITH HDMI and still the best resolution, performance, picture, etc.

     

    The video card I’ve been looking at is the 5770 just because it seems to smash the GTX260, though I absolutely despise ATI’s drivers and most of the time their cards in general. I’ve heard some pretty bad horror stories from ATI and have had a few horror-filled stories from my old ATI cards, but hoping they’re a lot better than before. Plus for $150 I can pick up a 5770 compared to $200 for a lesser performing GTX260 it seems.

     

    I’m also going to put a new HDD in my system but that’s pretty much already been chosen as a 1TB WD Black drive.

    im not sure MasterP has cared too much for his 5770… and my gtx 260 seems plenty fast to me but w/e. I mean the old 4870 and 4890 are faster than the 5770.

     

    I have a 25.5″ asus (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236047&Tpk=asus%20vw266h) monitor which I really like and it has HDMI, VGA, DVI, and component, though it is a little over the price you wanted to pay. There is no reason at all you couldnt get a 24″ monitor for the price you mentioned.

    Also worth noting, the US Interior Department concluded that a massive oil spill at that well was unlikely and exempted BP from doing a detailed environmental impact analysis. Mayhaps Obama partially to blame? An impact study would have delayed the project significantly…

    my original point was this whole mess was the result of a cluster*edited* of so many things going wrong its not even funny. pretty much everybody involved with the project did something of questionable judgement or just plain wrong/bad

    u know this happened cause the safety valve didnt work because THE BATTERY ON IT WAS DEAD AND THEY WERE TOO LAZY TO REPLACE IT; which caused too much pressure on the cement cap, which was also subpar quality, and BP had no plan on how to deal with something bad happening. Basically its shocking it took this long for a major problem like this to happen in the first place.

    only buy this if you want one for storage only; I would never use a green drive as a boot drive

    the whole point is where was fox news on this story? they would be all over it if what you said is true about terrorists being trained here and going to another country, but if someone was to threaten to blow up a mosque, they dont even care?

    so where was foxnews and the msm when a guy tried to blow up a mosque during service in florida?

     

    http://www.aolnews.com/crime/article/fbi-finds-pipe-bomb-used-in-blast-at-jacksonville-fla-mosque/19475001

     

    but if a guy named Mohammad did the exact same thing to a church somewhere he’d be a terrorist right?

    Considering that it’s common practice to build bombs in mosques (and schools) around the world I’d want just a little bit more to go on than AOLnews before drawing a conclusion. Statistically speaking on a global scale it’s more likely that a bomb they built themselves went off than it is for a fat, white, American in bluejeans and a dirty white t-shirt to sneak around unnoticed during a service.

    that is the most ignorant statement i have ever read. i no longer will waste my time reading your responses in this thread.

    ‘sv_pure 1’ allows certain types of modifications without us having to implement a whitelist. Things like player models and gunskins.

     

    ‘sv_pure 2’ is nazi enforcement and would require us to make a whitelist. We can go that route if you want but it’s a hell of a lot harder to set up than just letting Valve determine what is and is not cheating in terms of game modifications.

     

    ‘sv_pure’ should be set to ‘1’ on all the servers I configured during the move.

    my understanding was sv_pure 2 forced you to only use stock models, no exceptions. sv_pure 1 allowed you to have a whitelist where you could allow certain models, sounds etc.

    You might want to check on this but im pretty confident in that statement.

     

    MasterP said:

    We didn’t use a whitelist before.

    I know this is incorrect because I remember working with liam on the whitelist way back when because my skins weren’t working

    Only made it to bar 7. Was attempting to take the lead at -5 (leader was -6) so I got an IPA which we counted as -2. Drank it, then blacked out. Next thing I remember I was in Cabo Fish Taco (a family restaurant) at like 8:45 vomiting all over the table and the waitress yelling “GET HIM THE *edited* OUT”. All i could say was ” I NEED A BAG” which i promptly filled and dumped onto an SUV outside.
