Resolved Question: What lies do people say Obama is telling?
The topic of this random political stir-up is the accusations I’ve been hearing a lot lately about President Obama being a liar. I can understand that a lot of people disagree with his politics, and quite frankly, I’d be very afraid if everybody agreed with him.

That being said, I would like to know what lies people are referring to when they make these accusations? It’s one thing to dislike what he’s trying to do in the country right now, but to call him a liar, when in my opinion he’s been one of the more honest Presidents we’ve had (at least in my 19 years on this planet).

A very small number of things I’ve heard “lies” about are death-panels, health care for immigrants, the Gates incident, and the war in Iraq/Afghanistan.

For the death panels, people seem to think that at a certain age, they will be forced to appear in front of these panels that will evaluate possible euthanization. This however, is not true. The process is referred to as end-of-life counseling, and it is completely optional. If you look it up in the health care legislation, I believe it’s in page 421-423 somewhere. The intent of the reform is not to cast off the elderly, but to make sure they’re happy with their life in their age.

For health care for illegal immigrants, the only thing that the health care bill extends to is emergency care, and this seems to scare people. What they don’t realize however, is that this program is already in place. If you go into a hospital emergency room, they HAVE TO HELP YOU. It doesn’t matter if you’re an illegal immigrant, a citizen, a criminal, or anything like that. The only person who can reverse this is the person who needs the treatment. This is not a new system, it’s just in the legislation and mentions care and immigrants, so the people on the far right are jumping all over it, attempting to tear it apart.

Considering the Gates incident, I’ve also heard people say Obama is a liar. Is he a liar for stating his genuine opinion on the matter? Calling the actions of the Cambridge police ’stupid’ was certainly rash, and likely not the best possible phrasing he could have come up with, but that was his genuine opinion, which is not something you see very often anymore in politics.

As for the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, he wanted to reduce our troops in Iraq, and focus on Afghanistan. I don’t see the controversy around this at all except for those saying “we can’t leave until the job is done”. If the job isn’t done, then what about that ‘mission accomplished’ banner on that aircraft carrier? The only lie I see in this is the reason we entered Iraq in the first place, using the satellite thermal imaging interpretation of analysts, that later, Colin Powell admitted to its fabrication. Yet once we were there we had to ’stay until it was done’, even though intelligence pointed to Taliban recuperation in the mountains between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Obama campaigned on health care reform, and he’s pursuing it. He campaigned on reevaluating our military situation in the middle east, and he’s made huge strides toward that. People say he’s lying, but I don’t see any lies here. Controversy? Absolutely. But not lies.

If you read all the way to the end of this, thank you for hearing me out. I’d appreciate any feedback, but please keep it civilized. I’m pretty sure the harshest language I used in the above ranting was ’stupid’ and that’s only because of what the President said, not in direct deformation of anybody or anything.

So I guess a brief summation of my question is, what lies do people say Obama is telling?

Resolved Question: Normal CPU temperature?… Do I have a dodgy thermometer?
Hey, I just wondered if this was normal.. at the moment, my two cores are 27 and 38 degrees celcius.

Earlier, I managed to get a reading of 17 and 34 O_o I think my thermometer’s dodgy… to be fair though, I’ve got quite a few fans.. and it was the break of dawn with no central heating on… and the house was around 17/18 degrees (but surely an idle CPU should be hotter than that).

I’ve been experiencing the ~10 degrees difference for some time, and even after reapplying new thermal paste, I had no luck evening the temperatures out.

I own an AMD Athelon 64, 3Ghz (no overclocking), with a zalman heatsink http://www.nvnews.net/articles/gpu_world_tour_2006/images/systems/zalman_cnps9500.jpg (a heatsink which -in my opinion- was designed purely to look cool xD)
HWMonitor is what I’m using at the moment. I just wondered if it’s even possible to get a CPU at 17.. Just worried that if I do start overclocking, I could think I’m keeping it cool.. when I’m actually not

Resolved Question: Fixing an Xbox 360 graphical issue?
I asked this question here and got little help, but instead, condescending remarks and ‘what you should have done is sent it to Microsoft’. So, I’m going to try again using the original question with a little more detail. For starters, the Xbox I have is an elite and was not mine until recently. I was given the xbox to fix by my brother who knew little about xbox 360’s and opened it to try to clean out the system and fix the E-74 error he was receiving. He did not know why he was having the problem and it was too late for me to inform him of the warranty expiration that would occur if he opened the case. Again, I clarify, he opened the case to clean it when it began having the E-74 graphical hardware error code and *THEN* gave me the system. I know how to manage the insides of computing hardware just enough to be able to fix it if I knew what methods I needed to use to do so; I cannot send the system to Microsoft. I’ve already done the dance over the phone with them and they denied me service completely because the warranty is void, so let’s just avoid using that popular response for my question. I want to know how to fix it myself (and yes, I know I will probably need some, if not all of the following - soldering tools, arctic silver 5 and various other things such as rubbing alcohol). Here is my original question:

The problem is that the picture has extremely bad distortion, discoloration and pixelation all over the screen on all 3d images. It appears as if there is television ’snow’ on my display. The 2d images are fine which indicates completely that there is a video card problem. I’ve heard that it could either be that the thermal compound between the graphics card and motherboard has dissolved and needs to be reapplied (arctic silver 5) or that there are some joints somewhere inside the system that need to be soldered back together. Can someone please verify what I need to do to clear up my graphics use my xbox 360 again? I was having the E-74 hardware red ring error until I used the towel trick. Now, after the towel trick, the system runs, but has the previously mentioned distortion.

That’s my question. What do I need to do myself (considering there is no ’send it to M$’ option in this scenario) to fix this problem? What tools do I need to use and what method must I execute to repair my Xbox 360 elite and save myself another 200 dollars?
