I might add that just googling "Arjen FSX" gives me 2 or 3 (full) names which could be yours, including several which can be linked to social networking sites quite easily. Removing your digital footprint is going to be very difficult, but I would suggest you start by googling yourself and looking through all the results, contacting website administrators if you find something you don't like. As an interesting side note, I just googled myself and found this little gem: http://pilots-airmen.findthedata.org/q/811048/42/What-FAA-ratings-does-the-pilot-Frank-Grivel-have Talk about creepy...

http://www.cracked.c...e-problems.html See entry 3 (language warning). For all the hyperbole they usually get their facts right. Ever since I learned to drive, I always gasp whenever I see a crash in a movie on on tv or something. I really hope that driver survived, but I have my doubts...

I've always wondered about this rule. Is it strictly enforced? I mean, renting an airplane almost daily with different people showing up each day would raise a few eyebrows I suppose, but the incidental flight where you take some friends with you, and they cover all the costs for the privilege or you take your family along and they reimburse you for the costs since it was their idea... It's technically not allowed, but I don't think the $30 more or less will really cause consternation, right?

Fully agree... There are situations where guns are called for, a school classroom is not one of them. If you need to hunt to survive, by all means, demonstrate to a competent organisation that you're responsible enough to own and handle a gun and go hunt away! If you live in an urban area with all the pleasantries of daily life, what exactly do you need a AR-15 for? Fine, it can be a hobby, but wouldn't it make more sense to leave the gun at a shooting range, since that's the only place you're allowed to use it anyway? You have no need for semi-automatic rifles if you live in a suburban/urban area, and a need for a gun like an AR-15 in a rural area is quite debatable. British farmers seem to do fine with their shotguns limited to three rounds. In a built-up area, you don't need a gun: not for protection, not for hunting, not for anything. I've been to a shooting range, it was a fun experience, really, but there's no way in hell I'd purchase a gun. There is absolutely no reason for me to have one, and if I ever get an itchy trigger finger, I can just drive to a range.

No. My parents are both Atheist I don't understand why religion has a monopoly on raising a child to be a decent person! If I had a religious upbringing, I might be just as likely to kill people, seeing as that's what half of the Bible talks about anyway (yes, an exaggeration, but you get my point... it's not really a happy book, the Bible). My morals are not based on religion, they're based on respect for others and a sense of honour and fairness. QED This is veering wildly off-topic, so I'll end here. If you'd like to discuss this further, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM. I urge anyone with 15 minutes to spare to read this: http://gawker.com/5968818/i-am-adam-lanzas-mother

I take issue with your statement in that you say that because I was raised without faith, I am an immoral person. I like to think I adhere to the same morals as the rest -- I don't cheat, steal, kill etc. I would never even remotely entertain the idea of killing somebody, and I don't have a religious backing for my convicitions. I should be subjected to religious indoctrination just to be sure I don't go off and shoot people? It's common sense and basic human empathy, not a belief in God. I'm not offended, by the way, I just don't agree with your solution. I understand that you have a right to express your thoughts, I just don't think I should be subjected to rules based on something I don't believe in. I do, however, believe that this tragedy could have been avoided with a more developed mental healthcare system. I think that in the end, that's what failed him. Jew, Christian, Muslim, Athiest, if he had mental problems, his upbringing is not to blame. There are plenty of Christians who have killed senselessly, as are there plenty of Muslims, Athiests, and Jews. To say that he lacked morals is avoiding responsibility as a country for his mental wellbeing and psychological care.

Hey guys! It's been a while! How are you guys doing? Awesome shots as ever! Regards, Frank

I feel compelled to post that this isn't so much a free speech issue as an issue with a specific staff member. I understand there is no free speech on these forums, and since they're privately owned and operated, the staff may do as they wish. However, the rules should apply equally to everyone, and be applied equally to everyone. The base of trust in the staff and the website as a whole is eroded bit by bit if the staff apply the rules willy-nilly and go on power trips, which eventually ends badly for everyone involved. For the update-whiners: go find something else to do. I only posted once in an update thread that I recall, and it was a(n) (obviously) satirical post. There are plenty of things to do on the net, and if you want to complain and moan there are forums for that, too. Elsewhere.

Nope. http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/tool/psucalc/index.html says you'll be at 490W... So that's 160W left over. Good luck!

Thanks all for your replies. Unfortunately time is tight today, so I'll get around to testing your suggestions tomorrow. I'll keep you updated! Thanks again!

Hello all, I have a problem. I just upgraded my RAM from 8GB Kingston HyperX Genesis DDR3-1600 to 8GB Mushkin Black DDR3-2133, but I'm having a bit of an issue with overall system stability. My motherboard is a MSI P67A-GD55 (B3), and my processor an Intel i5-2500K. With the DDR3-1600 RAM, I had no problem running the board with RAM at 1600MHz and the CPU at 4.5GHz. Stability was fine, and I only had one or two BSoDs in the year I've owned the system, most likely from fidgeting with things I had no real knowledge over. In any case, the system ran fine, the temps were fine, and I was a happy camper. Yesterday, in a bid to slowly make my computer more-or-less bleeding edge, I got the DDR3-2133 RAM. Now, I read on MSI's website that 2133 is supported, but as overclocked. Fine, I was going to overclock anyway, so that wasn't a huge deal. I put the RAM in, and after resetting all the various voltages and such (the 1600 needed 1.65V, the 2133 apparently 1.5V), the system booted fine and FSX loaded fine. Anyway, about 10 minutes into using FSX, I get a BSoD. I figure it's a one-off thing, so I go to reset the system, and then the problems started. My system booted for all of two seconds, then rebooted (the fans spooled up then cut off). This happened a few times, before I got the message that the overclock failed and I needed to check out the settings. My overclock settings save the RAM part were the same as the 1600 RAM, so I cut the CPU overclock out (back to x33 multiplier) and rebooted. All worked well. I had set the memory via XMP to 2133, and all appeared to work again. However, I got another BSoD after playing FSX for about 10 minutes. Then I did the same except I didn't use XMP and used the other option to put my RAM at 2133. Same story, BSoD after a few minutes (only when playing FSX). My system is now running the ram at 1333 (almost half!), and haven't had an issue yet, so I'm 100% sure the problem is with the RAM at 2133MHz. My question is, what did I do wrong? How can I fix it? I would love to keep this RAM, but it almost looks like I'm going to need another motherboard if I want to keep the RAM, since my MSI won't accept the 2133MHz (overclock). Are there settings I'm missing? I'm attaching my CPU-Z specs if that helps. Thanks in advance, Frank

... if I only had the patience to do something like that...

Aaaaaaaand another one after going on their page a few seconds ago (not PMDG-y but still funny):

Maybe this can shed some light on overclocking Ivy Bridge: I don't know how much FSX benefits from all the other features of an Ivy Bridge processor, and I think FSX is more-or-less purely responsive to the clock itself, but this video claims that an Ivy Bridge running at around 4.5GHz will provide the same benefits in performance as a Sandy Bridge at a much lower clock.
