I'd go with the iMac. Neither have very good video cards for what you're paying for, but dual-Xeons with a 5770 isn't going to be a whole lot better than a i7 870 with a 5750; at least not what you'd expect from the $3000 price difference. But from a purely performance standpoint, the Mac Pro is better.

I switched it off at the mains for a second then switched it back on. After that it let me back into the bios. I've managed to get back into windows. I was trying for 3.6 with 1.1 voltage. Guess my C0/C1 920 couldn't handle it. Anyone got any tips for overclocking this thing?x-2tha-z
So you jumped up your speed by 1GHz on your first try? You really should be upping it by 100-200Mhz at a time, and then run tests for stability, and then repeat. What you did is a good way to kill a motherboard or your processor.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="ProudLarry"] A school board might have authority over ethical decisions, but when it comes to legal decisions, a local school board in no way trumps SC rulings. And "schools couldn't give students free speech...just that students can't sue for lack of it." is not an appropriate summary of that case. They ruled that the principle was within his right to suspend a student for promoting drug use. Its doesn't take much of leap to see the same legal decision could be applied to punishing hate speech.

Uh...the Supreme Court never ruled against this.:|

Knock off the condescending attitude, I never said they did.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] No he doesn't if his school board says no.LJS9502_basic

The school board can defy a supreme court ruling because it wants to?

If the school board holds a teacher accountable for his actions...which they should do.....using your analogy....student < teacher...we ad..teacher < school board...it's perfectly valid for the school board to say the teacher was out of line. Anyway, the SC didn't say schools couldn't give students free speech...just that students can't sue for lack of it.

The Supreme Court case, Morse v. Frederick, ruled that students don't have free-speech rights. So from a legal standpoint, the teacher has full authority to do what they did.

Congratulations, I guess. I wonder when Valve is going public? Hmm?

The_Capitalist
Although Valve going public is more likely to happen than it not happening, I have to say I hope it never does. Steam is already starting to get into the realm of monopoly, yet so far they really haven't really abused that power (even though they clearly could). I might be assuming too much but it seems that this restraint has most to do with Valve being somewhat altruistic. Or at the very least, very sympathetic to their customers wants and needs. I hate to think what would happen when Valve has a board of shareholders, who would care about profit above all else, to answer to. I fear it would be the end of Valve's good relationship with its customer base.
