Bad PSUs can certainly weaken other components. Once weakened, it's typically a downhill slide until they ultimately fail. You might try to run...

Congrats. :) BTW, I've always liked the avatar. :chk:
Totally agree. Still, I wonder if this still would have been such big news if she had posted in the personals of the local newspaper instead of...
Me too, but I must've played through about 10 times. :O Now ask me about Max Payne 2, and I just draw a complete blank.
Actually, in the game Max does hallucinate, and his wife was killed because she worked for Aesir and found out too much. I haven't seen the movie,...

Re-enabling the root account and removing sudo/ALL rights from your own users is actually pretty simple. Unfortunately, unless you only use...
I would agree with that wholeheartedly, but I wasn't talking about normal people like you and me; I was talking about mainstream media.
Your PC probably uses a less than 230watts while its running, especially if you're actually using the AMD "PowerNOW!!1" tech. ;) That model of PSU...
