621  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Cooling question on: July 21, 2014, 12:43:37 PM
I'm gonna ask something that seems silly I started my pc to mine and it was getting 770 megahashes , but the thing that worried me was the temps to my video card and running the fan that hard for a long time , is there any way I can dial it down a bit or throttle it back ?

I beleive there is a way to modify it by adjusting the incoming power to the fan by using a resistor to lessen the power so the fan can go slower but you need to know electronics and how that works and know how to measure voltage etc

If Ukraine operates these weapons systems as well, could the pro-Russian separatists have stolen one of them and used it?

A day earlier DPR’s PM, Aleksandr Boroday, accused the international community of lacking enthusiasm to investigate the plane crash.

So called international community is obviously too busy waging stupid propaganda war against Putin to pay attention to such trivial matters as, for example, sending professional investigators to crash site and trying to find out solid proofs who is responsible.
It seems that the Buk launcher came from Russia. I initially thought that the launcher was a Ukrainian one that was stolen by pro-Russian separatists. I would think they would need some formal training with the system before putting it into operation. Probably something they received from the Russians. Apparently the launcher used to shoot down the Malaysian airliner has been moved back to Russia.

Israel lost some 13 people in total, during the Operation Cast Lead (2008-09), including 10 soldiers. Hamas lost some 1,400+. But I have a feeling that the current conflict is going to be more even-sided. Especially with Israeli hostages in the hands of Hamas.
Both sides feel angry about how the situation played out, and now with the peace talks ruined, there's nothing left to lose with further violence. In some ways, it's not dissimilar to 2000, just before the Second Intifada, when anger over the perceived failure of the Oslo Accords, and the very real failure of the Camp David Summit earlier that year contributed to the tension before the Intifada.

I kinda feel bad I got one bad week and you let me go?Huh??  what if others get a bad week you going to let them go that fast?  You need to chill and see that results take time, plus more exposure the better for you,  if you let people go, that is not going to be effective cause you will just make people angry and upset like you had done to me. You should at least had given me two weeks before making any judgement as any other member can have a bad week and then a good week next.  Its fine I will leave and just to let you know I was going to buy GHZ for minng but I now change my mind, I dont like how you handled the campaign.  Nor did you give anyone prior warning to this.  Doing this will give you bad rep.

Also thank you for the payment, but I honestly feel like giving it back if your going to be biased for 1 bad week.

What do the people in Palestine and Israel want though? I've heard more than enough of what the leadership thinks. Where do the people stand, in relation to the struggle and their leaderships' inability to deal with it?
Domestic polls have long showed that both sides generally want peace based on a two state solution (it tends to fluctuate a little more in Israel depending on circumstances). I'm more familiar with the Palestinian numbers there (3/4ths two state peace) than I am with the Israeli numbers.

One of the problems of governments past, is that in coalition governments like Israel, you have kingmaker parties: small parties that can make or break coalitions for the larger parties. These kingmaker parties in Israel tend to be highly conservative, which means that if you want to be prime minister you have to do certain things to mollify them like not halt settlement expansion.

this hits the nail on the head
Sen. John McCain: I don’t understand this president. The crisis on the border. He did the fundraisers, the fundraisers in New York while they’re major conflicts, not to mention the loss of American lives. It was reported there were Americans on the airplane. I do not understand it. I think your network has already played the clip of Ronald Reagan’s reaction when the South Korean airliner was shot down. This is just what we used to call in the military A-W-O-L.

Well, once again, Putin takes a fall. Now he is faced with either looking like someone who would allow his puppets, on the sly, to shoot down a plane, OR he looks like someone who can't control his puppets.

Just heard Juan Williams slap down Obama saying the optics look bad for him to be off fundraising.....
'It looks like it may be a terrible tragedy': Obama sparks anger with 40-second mention of Malaysian plane crash that killed '23 Americans' before giving transportation speech

    Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 crashed in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, killing all 295 passengers on board including 23 Americans, according to some reports
    President Obama said his national security team is working on identifying the U.S. citizens – and then launched into jokes and 16 minutes of prepared remarks
    Twitter erupted with digital eye-rolls at Obama's curt mention of the 'tragedy' that the Ukrainian government quickly called a 'criminal case'
    House Speaker John Boehner offered a solemn statement, saying 'many innocents were killed today. It is horrifying.'

A surface-to-air missile shot down a Malaysia Airlines flight in eastern Ukraine today, killing all 285 passengers aboard, U.S. intelligence officials have told the Wall Street Journal.
A Ukrainian official has accused pro-Russian separatists in the area of firing the missile, saying it was of the type that Russia has been supplying to the militant groups in eastern Ukraine, where the Ukrainian government has been trying to suppress militants over the past few months. The militants have denied shooting it down.
American intelligence agencies told the WSJ that they tracked the trajectory of the missile, but aren’t sure where it originated.
The Kyiv Post reports that the Ukrainian state intelligence agency, the SBU, has released recordings of Russian-backed Cossack militants talking on the phone 20 minutes after the crash, explaining how they’d shot down a civilian plane. (One of the militants is allegedly a Russian military intelligence officer.)
The Ukrainian government says that 23 Americans were aboard the plane, and that more than 300 people were killed in the crash. President Obama and Russian president Vladimir Putin discussed the incident today when Putin brought it up on a phone call, according to the White House (the call had been scheduled to discuss a new, more aggressive round of sanctions the U.S. had just implemented on Russia).
Eleven Ukrainian military aircraft have been shot down by the separatists since the crisis began, according to Business Insider, but they were all flying at a much lower level than the Malaysian plane, which would have flying at commercial-airline altitude. The Ukrainian Armed Forces say the plane was hit at 10,000 meters.

I would suggest most people in first world countries have a problem with the concept of collective punishment. I certainly do. Israel has no blame here. They have a right to exist, and be where they are at. The Palestinians choose war over peace.
That's because they're not rational and have a poor historical perspective.

The US has been unsuccessful in most of its military engagements since World War II precisely because it has a strong insistence on avoiding use of collective punishment and a tendency to adopt overly strict rules of engagement.

What would you call the Allied campaigns of firebombing German and Japanese cities, or using nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki if not collective punishment? This war was remarkably successful precisely because the US showed a willingness to escalate violence to an unlimited level in order to win. Something which has not been done in any conflict since.


The US has had no need and no particular interest in being successful with foreign engagements. It's been unnecessary or too dangerous depending on the time frame in question.


What the fuck are you talking about?Would you be so glad to point me in the direction of an armed conflict which the participating US government had "no particular interest in"?

I would call those campaigns the continuation of politics by other means. The American and British attack sorties were unequivocally coordinated solely to eviscerate the morale of the enemy and expedite governmental submission. Period. Unfortunately, Imperial Japan's military leadership rejected unconditional surrender and all subsequent demands of the Postdam Declaration, prolonging an already exhausting and lethal conflict. Some persons familiar with the war would cite the success of naval blockade. However, naval blockade did not render other occupied countries and their respective prisoners impervious to Japanese massacre.

Retrospectively, the area bombing and firebombing campaign manifested against Imperial Japan and Germany were enacted as a direct result of the ineffectiveness of precision bombing by radar. There are a myriad of analytical reports pre-dating the area bombing-firebombing incursions which corroborate the technological limitations long-range bombing attacks at the time. Low-altitude thermal, explosive, and incendiary munition attacks on cities were the best means of inflicting significant devastation on an enemy's industrial capabilities.

Common subject literature affirms the malicious and hateful sentiments shared by many in regard to Axis aggression, especially against Imperial Japanese inhumane treatment of combatants and noncombatants alike. Consequently, many unintentionally confuse the fundamental executions of warfare as collective punishment. Max Hastings, the British author of "Retribution, The Battle for Japan 1944-1945" published an archived quote from the mastermind of the Japanese firebombing campaign which solidified America's true intention, "bomb and burn 'em til they quit".

My response is intended to clarify the actions of countries engaged in official declarations of war. These actions should not be diluted or referenced with the actions of one illegitimate state attacking non-state aggressors residing in another illegitimate state.

It is not beyond the bounds of possibility that the Ukraine forces did the evil deed so they could blame the "rebels".One thing is for sure, I wouldn't travel with Malaysian Airlines.
638  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Malaysia Airlines MH17 Crash: Boeing 777 Crashed in Ukraine Near Russian Border on: July 18, 2014, 05:32:02 PM
This is the sort of thing than can start a major war.Rebels fighting against Ukraine and supplied by Russia are the suspects. Bodies reported all over the ground for miles. What a tragedy.  But how can Russia afford to arm the rebels when the country is suffering from crushing sanctions?
The Russian rebels deny they are Russian or funded by Russians and yes, this act by rebels could justify Russia invading Ukraine just like rebels  in crimea justified their takeover of crimea and the forced election.
It's also possible that it was an accident. Russian insurgents in Ukraine have been firing anti-aircraft missiles at Ukrainian fighter jets, so who knows. But an airliner looks nothing like a fighter jet or even a bomber.Exactly. I suspect that Russia may use the same excuse. We shall see. After all, Obama is no threat.
Shot at 33,000 feet in the sky?  I don't think this was any accident.  The odds would be astronomical.
I meant they could have mistaken an airliner for a military jet. At over six miles away, it would be hard to tell the difference.
No. The rebels who probably fired it probably did not have adequate training, and could easily have carelessly thought it was a military plane. Proof will be hard to find unless some emails, etc., surface.

Titus Oates, late in the reign of Charles II, is famed for having ginned up a wild conspiracy of Catholics to assassinate the King and install a regime of "popery" on the nation. His accusations were beyond absurd, Charles himself questioned him and laughed at him as an idiot, but the fears and hysteria of the arch-protestants made them willing to believe anything, no matter how idiotic, due to their fears of Catholicism.

Sound familiar? Look at how the 'baggers today view Washington, with that same ultimate paranoia that makes them willing to believe anything they are fed by the modern day Titus Oates--whether they be the Limbaughs, the Becks, the Fox News, no matter how hysterical or outlandish the accusations get, the fanatics--whether 'baggers or archprotestants, are willing to believe them.

I think the psychology between the 'baggers and the archreligious is the same, the only difference really is the object of their hatred and fear.
That does certainly seem to be the case regarding the mainstream media, some of these folks and their accusations against the tea party movement.  Thanks, Umair.  I didn't think you had it in you to be rational.  Well done.
What you believe as a tea party person and what the national tea party lead by the Kock brothers is totally different than your view.  They are not interested in making this country better for you and me.  They don't give a shit about your freedoms.  Their goal is to make more money for themselves and are more than willing to use the tea party to obtain their goal.  Just as many politicians try and use the church for political gai
