[Useless information that you will never use]

But they can drive cars

Not only did they drive, but all 14 of of the males accurately drove to the destination.

 

This begs the question - did all the females fail the test ?

 

It is a little funny how that happened (and scary...PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, DO NOT INSTALL ONE OF THOSE BALLS IN YOUR CAR!...please excuse my caps lock there --I meant it playfully). Question is: how long will it be until someone gets the brainy idea of putting the aroma right in front of the ball itself and mass markets something designed around that?

Also, another useless fact (or however many come out in this post):

• The symbol that a lot of people use in place of the word 'and' is called the ampersand (&).
  
• There exists a punctuation mark that is a cross between a question mark and exclamation mark: the interrobang (‽).
  
• The term for any punctuation that marks the end of a sentence (period, question mark, exclamation point, etc.) is called a full stop.
  
• Antarctica is actually comprised of several islands that happen to be covered by a giant ice shelf, and the South Pole happens to be directly above water, not land covered by a mile-thick layer of ice.

The name of all the continents ends with the same letter that they start with.

 

Did you miss one (Oceania--often incorrectly called Australia, which references a single country, not a continent)?

Let me take your post and annotate it a bit with my opinions (your original post in bold)

 

--- Alex Jones is rude- he disrespects (on a personal level at times, too) a lot of people who have taken the time to interview him or debate him.

Yes, he was a bit rude there. No question about it.

--- He does not know how to politely debate or politely disagree (I don't expect people to be all *angelic* with their discussion, but basic, civil manners is not much to ask for).

In case that was obvious there, but sadly, that trait is getting increasingly rare these days.

--- He is not fair in his back-and-forths with people. He steamrolls people with his rants, accusations, rallying cries (stuff he's totally allowed to say, but not when someone else wants to get a point across).

Comes in a large part by his (massive) lack of civility.

--- He often throws out unbacked numbers or out-of-context statistics. (not often, but often enough that I can't feel comfortable listening to him throw out numbers he uses to support his stances)

Does he realize at all that

that

kind of thing never really helps his argument, but more so makes him sound like a ludicrous buffoon?

 

I have no idea why people listen to him. I'd be embarrassed to share the same air as him if he was in the room with me.

He may have good stuff to say, but I don't want to validate him or his methods by giving him credence.

I would have probably pulled alpha back at him, and he would have had to either out-alpha me back or settle down, neither of which would have helped his side of the argument (the former more so than the latter).

[Speccy crashes right after launch]

I have a similar problem with mine, detailed in another forum post (39014--link here), but it seems to me from putting the thing to almost a torture test that it is from the gathering of the operating system data. Although this topic is centered around earlier versions (1.17, 1.19, etc.), it still shows in 1.22.536, the last one I tested.

 

My computer is a laptop running on Windows 7 64-bit SP1.

[Speccy crashes near end of analysis of OS data]

Sorry for missing some very important information:

Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit SP1

Speccy Version: 1.22.536

 

Also, I noticed that the issue still holds when I run the 32-bit version (Speccy.exe) instead of the 64-bit one.

 

EDIT: Also, if a moderator could help me out, I made a large mistake on the title. It should read "Speccy crashes near end of analysis of OS data".

[Speccy crashes near end of analysis of OS data]

I have all but tortured this thing figuring out where it is, and after running "\path\to\speccy\Speccy64.exe" /debug a lot of times, I figured out that it was the gathering of the OS data that was running into consistent, repeatable crashes. I don't know if it is on Windows itself or Speccy, and from reading the logs, I honestly cannot tell. I have a zip of a whole slew of logs, sorted into folders, attached to this post, and when I started reading through the OS ones, I noticed a trend: they ended in approximately the same place (3 ended at line 124 and 1 at 126) and the same step in the same process (at what is likely the end of getting a list of my several JREs, mostly from my JDKs). I wonder if there is a simple line that shouldn't be there in the code for getting the OS information. I did find that when I had every box except for the OS data analysis checked, it still never crashed, but when it only had that box checked, it crashed like clockwork.
