Chances are the other hardware is getting dodgy too.<br /><br />Don't bother with a top-of-the-line though: that's only needed for high-end users like gamers, audio/film editors, computer professionals, major graphics, etc. Go for midrange.Black Poison Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07378635809751908950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-34944921809420191252015-03-25T18:30:47.813-04:002015-03-25T18:30:47.813-04:00Computer motherboard went out, so I am debating re...Computer motherboard went out, so I am debating rebuilding it or buying s new one.

He was held for a time in an overcrowded maximum-security facility with the worst of the violent offenders. He observed that they never bragged or boasted, nor did they ever give warnings if they were about to attack- if you pissed them off, they showed no emotion about it, but attacked brutally and without warning when the time was right- often days, weeks, or even months later.<br /><br />Later, when the prosecutors realized that an acquittal was virtually guaranteed, they let him plead down to dramatically lesser charges. He got moved to a lower-security prison with much less violent offenders. Almost all of them constantly bragged about how tough they were, and how they were going to <i>"kick everyone's ass!"</i>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-101949815272997622015-03-19T15:37:01.150-04:002015-03-19T15:37:01.150-04:00Some of them are REALLY stupid and arrogant.

He bragged on facebook that he never thought getting away with murder could be so easy. A few weeks later, a man that was accused of raping her teenage girlfriend (never proven)is mourning his mothers death and the retard goes on telling everyone that he killed her by running her over. The retard was surprised he got caught even though he deleted his post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-10196504594522579462015-03-19T15:06:16.420-04:002015-03-19T15:06:16.420-04:00The opposite of that Hubris/Pride is humility, as ...<i>The opposite of that Hubris/Pride is humility, as the Greek concept of Sophrosyne, which means to know your strengths and weaknesses.</i><br /><br />A good man always knows his limitations.kurt9https://www.blogger.com/profile/02101147267959016924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-90930170167440303842015-03-19T14:53:12.826-04:002015-03-19T14:53:12.826-04:00@Anonymous,
