Question by Daemon: Please review this computer build (gaming rig) and tell me any flaws in design/components.?
I will be building my first gaming rig and need to know that these components will work seamlessly with each other. I would hate to get these parts only to realize that I’ve got incompatible MoBo/graphics.

ALL PARTS are going to come from NEWEGG.com, fyi.
So if there are any issues with this build please give me your advice, I’m open to suggestions.
PS: I understand that this rig isn’t the best quality; however, i am working on a budget. These are the parts I would like to use, so unless they aren’t compatible, or I need more than 320GB of HD 😉 then I wouldn’t want to change the SPECS. And yes VISTA 64bit.

Not bad of a rig, but i would recommend you get more than 320 GB of hard drive space, it will get eaten up pretty quickly, trust me.
At least get a 500GB hard drive

Please help me answer the following question ASAP?
Question by rashrash27: Please help me answer the following question ASAP?
A well-known pharmaceutical company, Robins & Robins, is working through a public scandal. Three popular medications which they sell over-the-counter have been determined to be tainted with small particles of plastic explosive. It has not yet been determined where the plastic explosives came from, but over million in inventory is impacted. The inventory is located throughout the Western United States, and it is possible that it has also made its way into parts of Canada. A recall occurs but it is mostly unsuccessful.
Last fall, the FDA had promulgated an administrative rule which stated that all pharmaceutical companies which sold over-the-counter medications must incorporate a special tracking bar code (i.e. UPC bars) on all packaging, to ensure that recalls could be done with very little trouble. This bar code would have cost about $.35 (cents) per package, which would have cost the company nearly million on this batch of inventory.
Robins & Robins lobbied hard against this rule, and managed to get it stopped in the public comments period. They utilized multiple arguments, including the cost (which would be passed on to consumers). They also raised “privacy” concerns, which they discussed simply to get public interest groups upset. (One of the drugs impacted is used for assisting with alcoholism treatment – specifically for withdrawal symptoms and many alcoholics were afraid their use of the drug could be tracked back to them.) Robins & Robins argued that people would be concerned about purchasing the medication with a tracking mechanism included with the packaging and managed to get enough public interest groups against the rule. The FDA decided not to impose the rule.
The FDA decides to require all pharmaceutical companies to immediately implement the tracking bars (UPC) as a result of the disaster with Robins & Robins. Robins & Robins decides not to challenge this and begins the process of adding them to all of their products. However, McFadden, Inc., a New York pharmaceutical realizes that this new requirement is going to bankrupt them immediately. McFadden did not participate in the original public comment period. However, this rule
is different from the rule which went through that public comment period, in that it specifically names 4 companies as being impacted, Robins & Robins, McFadden, Inc., Bayer, and Johnson & Johnson. On what bases can McFadden challenge this requirement imposed by the FDA? Provide at least two bases under the Administrative Procedures Act. Would the injuries from the Robins & Robins situation impact the chances that this challenge would be successful? Why or why not?
Question 2, please help me ASAP
It is discovered that Robins & Robins knew about the tainted medication two months earlier than they announced the recall. They hid it, and in fact, sent out contract buyers to try to buy up all of the medication off the shelves. Their “fake” recall failed. Using the Laura Nash method of analyzing ethical dilemmas, analyze the ethical dilemma faced by the CEO of Robins & Robins for the fact that they saved 35 cents/package and are now in the middle of a major, life threatening recall. Analyze their “fake” recall as well. Show all of the steps of the model and give a recommendation to the CEO of what to do now that the deaths are escalating. What is the “right” thing for the CEO to do in this case? Did the model help you come to this conclusion or did you use some other method? Explain.
Best answer:
Answer by STEPHEN
McFadden can challenge the requirement by asserting the cost element and that its implementation would bankrupt them and make the same arguments that Robins & Robins made. Additionally, they could argue that the FDA is estopped by its prior decision to not impose the Rule; this, of course, could be countered by the argument that McFadden waived all arguments against imposition of the Rule by its failure to participate in the earlier public comment period. McFadden could also argue that the FDA is over-reacting to a calamity which could not be foreseen and is so rare an occurrence that it is highly unlikely to happen again, to which the FDA would contend that its statutory authority compels that it impose the Rule. The injuries of the Robins & Robins matter would be the only significant impact which would cause the imposition of the Rule. The two bases: (1) It would not be an abuse of discretion to impose the Rule. (2). The FDA may lawfully take administrative notice of the Robins & Robins calamity.

Please, Please, Please… Question Gravity
My little contribution towards promoting Chattiestspike2’s hilarious parody of Creation Ministries International’s ludicrous Question Evolution campaign. Anything you can do to help spread the word for him will be worthwhile as it will does a great job of showing up Creationism for the intellectual vacuum that it is. You can find his channel here: www.youtube.com CS2’s own description of the Question Gravity campaign: Why the campaign? To show how stupid it looks to act as though a well supported theory is still questionable at fundamentally basic levels- even though every single aspect questioned has an answer. A direct knockoff of creation.com’s and ppsimmons’ “Question Evolution” campaign where do they something similar to mine… but theirs isn’t even satire… which is just sad.

when it comes to the safety of young chidren, fire is a parent’s nightmare. just the thought of their young ones trapped in their cribs and beds by a raging nocturnal blaze is enough to make most mothers and fathers take every precaution to ensure their children’s safety. little wonder that when fire-retardant children’s pajamas first hit the market, they proved an overnight success. within a few short years more than 200 millíon pairs were spld, and the sále of millíon more were all but guaranteed. for their manufacturers, the future could not have been brighter. then, like a bolt from the blue, came word that the pajamas were killér. the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) moved quickly to ban their sale and recall millions of pairs. Reason: the pajamas contained the flame-retardant chemícal Tris (2,3-dibromoprophyl), which had been found to cause kidney cancer in children. because of its toxicity, the sleepwear couldnt even thrown away, let alone sold. indeed, the CPSC left no doubt about how the pajamas were to be disposed of buried or burned or used as industrial wiping cloths. whereas just months earlier the manufacturers of the Tris-impregnated pajamas couldnt fill orders fast enough, suddenly they were worrying about how to get rid of the millions of pairs now sitting in warehouses. soon, however, ads began appearing in the classified pages of WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY. “Tris,tris… we will buy any fabric containing Tris,” read on. another said, “Tris- we will purchase any large quantities of garments containing Tris.” the ads had been placed by exporters, who began buying up the pajamas, usually at 10 to 30 percent of the normal wholesale price. their intent was clear: to dump the carcinogenic pajamas on overseas markets. Tris is not the only êxampl of dumping. there were the 450,000 baby pacifiers, of the type known to have caused choking deaths, that were exported for sale overseas, and the 400 Iraqis who died and 5000 who were hospitalized after eating wheat and barley treated with a U.S.-banned organic mercury fungicide. Winstrol, a synthetic male hormone that had been found to stunt the growth of American children, was made available in Brazil as an appetite stimulant for children. DowElanco, although the Environment Protection Agency forbade its sale to U.S. farmers because Galant may cause cancer. after the U.S Food and Drug Administration banned the painkiller dipyrone because it can cause a fatal blood disorder, Winthrop Product continued to sell dipyrone in Mexico City. Manufacturers that dump products abroad clearly are motivated by profit, or at least by the hope of avoiding financial losses resulting from having to withdraw a product from the U.S market. for government and health agencies that cooperate in the exporting of dangerous products, sometimes the motives are more complex. for example, when researchers dôcumented the dangers of the Dalkon Shield intrauterine device-among the adverse reactions were pelvic inflammation, blood poisoning. tubal pregnancies, and uterine perforations-its manufacturer, A.H.Robins Co., began losing its domestic market. as a result, the company worked out a deal with the office of population within the U.S Agency for International Development, whereby AID bought thoúsand of the devices at a reduced price for use in population-control programs in forty-two countries. why do government and population control agencies approve for sale and use overseas a birth control device proved dangerous in the U.S? They say their motives are humanitarian. because the rate of dying in childbirth is high in third world countries, almost any birth control device is preferable to none. analogous arguments are used to defend to export of pesticides and other products judged too dangerous for use in the U.S: foreign countries should vague or ambiguous or too technical to understand.but even if communication procedures were improved or the export of dangerous products forbidden, there are ways that companies can circumvent these threats to their profit- for example, by simply changing the name of the product or by exporting the individual ingredients of a product dumped. the U.S does prohibit drugs banned in this country, but sidestepping the law is not difficult. ” unless the package bursts open on the clock,” one drug company executive observes, “you have no chance of being caught”. unfortunately for us, in the case of pesticides, the effects of overseas dumping are now coming home. in U.S the EPA bans all crop uses of ?DT and dieldrin, which kill fish, cause tumór in animals, and build up in the patty tissue of human. it also bán heptachlor, chlordane, leptophos, endrin, and many other pesticides, including 2,4,5-T (which contains the deadly poíson dioxin, the active ingredient in Agent Orange, the notorious defoliant used in Vietnam) because they are danger to human being. no law, however, prohibits the sale of ?DT and these other U.S-banned pesticides overseas,
