I'm pretty much set on my build, but out of curiosity, is there any motherboard that supports sata 3 with minimal work?

Thanks for the help. I'll remember to avoid the 10.7.4 update.

This is the exact board I'm planning on getting, so I'm glad to hear that. Are you using the SATA 3 port for the boot drive. I'm getting a SATA 3 SSD and want to use it as my boot drive. All the forums had me believing it was almost impossible to get SATA 3 working without a card. Did you use Kakewalk or Unibeast. I'm planning on using Kakewalk, since all of my parts are compatible. I can't think of any compelling reason to go the other route. I'm wanting to build a very stable system.

edit: You said the intel port. I thought both SATA 3 ports on this one were Marvell.

So if the people who are pissed because they can't get to work get together to protest the protesters and block them from getting where they want to go, is that alright?

Yep, and that would be plot relevant, as they made a big stink about it at his funeral. Pun intended.

Have you actually bench marked? I understand some work, but won't actually run at sata 3 speed.

Which z68? It was my understanding that most used the marvell chipset, which doesn't work right.

It couldn't possibly be that we recognize an immature trick to paper over a lack of showing instead of telling.

Thank you. I love how people are trying to make it sound like those who have a problem with cheap, ridiculous writing aimed at 15 year old boys are immature. The Littlefinger sexposition scene was juvenile. It was an immature attempt to grab audience attention over a plot dump. The Margaery sex scene was incredibly relevant, along with the sex scenes in the first episode of the series.

See my comment elsewhere about the Theon sex scene on the ship and the Littlefinger sexposition scene.

Before I address your question, I need to rephrase it, because I think it is biased. I refuse to qualify that any scene "added absolutely nothing to the show." That's a pretty fucking low bar, and you know it. Sure, you could point at the sexposition scenes and say that we learned something during them, but there's a whole variety of shitty scenes that we could also shoehorn into the show that could limbo under that pathetic pole.

The issue is the quality of the scene in relation to the amount of screen time it takes up. The show writers have left out many scenes from the books that would have better established events and characters, but they'll waste 4-5 minutes on a sex scene that could have been established in 20 seconds with a cut away, solely justified by the fact that someone is plot dumping in the background.

Watch netflix at a decent resolution.

Your comment was uninformed and a condescending and tired cliche about americans. I don't really owe you anything.

It also makes sense for him to take a dump frequently during the day, but we don't see that. It wasn't necessary to establish his character in the book. It wasn't necessary in the show either.

and they are liking the formula, especially because the sexual element makes the characters feel real.

See, this is why I don't like it. It pulls me out of the story. It makes the characters less real for me. All throughout that Littlefinger sexposition scene, I was thinking, "Why is this happening in the background? Oh, yeah. The writers are lazy and didn't want to write a genuinely interesting scene that allowed us to discover this information, so they are covering their plot dump with a sex scene, because they think I'm horny enough to accept this lazy trick."

It was the same way with the Theon scene in the ship. I had no problem with them showing Theon having sex with the captain's daughter, but they overextended the sex scene way past the point where it was necessary to establish what was happening, and they cut out the part in the book where Theon humiliates the captain, who knows he's fucking his daughter, but must pay him respect. They also cut out the conversation between him and Asha on the way up to the castle, but hey, we had to find time for another sex scene.

Imagine if they'd actually tried to write a real scene that revealed this information to us, instead of plot dumping over a porno.

Rtv08c · 2 days

Fuck yeah, but everyone here acts like you're a puritan if you don't want these scenes shoehorned in over scenes that have been cut from the book. But..."omg, you must be a prude." No, I just fucking hate lazy storytelling that treats me like a schoolboy who can't process something without pointless boobage in the background. I'm so fucking sick of people acting like you're an uptight person if you don't like sexposition. It's cheap and lazy. I didn't have a problem with Oz or Sopranos, because the nudity and sex made sense there. It makes no fucking sense here. It's so very obviously just put in because.

Another tired cliche from someone who failed history. The puritans were actually quite pro-sex, and it doesn't matter anyways, because they only founded on part of the country.

Rtv08c · 2 days

Bullshit. They're cutting a lot of good material to shoehorn that crap in.

Don't forget the first day of high school, when you all had to do it once for every teacher, and everyone knew what you were going to say by the end of the day.

Whining about how industrial civilization is poisoning you, ruining the world, etc. Punishment: dropped in jungle without even a lighter.

Actually, that's mostly a myth perpetrated by the media. People get into fights in stores all the time, but if it happens on Black Friday, it's news about the madness of Black Friday. There's not much more violence on Black Friday than any other day.

A better solution. Mandatory retake upon any ticket.

Or giving a bad review, because you were too stupid to read the manual and use it right.

I don't want to overreact, but this is the kind of situation that requires you to carry a razor for slashing people's tendons.

edit: I knew a guy whose strategy was to pretend to be talking on his cell phone. He would say, "I'm trying to hurry dude, but I'm stuck behind this fat chick."
