HeyYou

What does an Epson printer error code have to do with a performance issue running a game? (for the rest of you folks, do NOT click the link. I highly suspect malware.)

You're right. Deny other human beings their humanity, simply because they are different. It's okay to let them die on our doorstep, they're different. It's okay to return them to be killed by their government, they're different. It's okay to summarily put them in prison without trial, they're different. It's okay to take their children from them, they're different. Sounds eerily familiar. It's okay to put them in prison camps, they're different. It's okay to take their property, they're different. It's okay to kill them, they're different. So please tell me, how is what you are saying we are doing, any different from what their own government is doing? Do you think being held in a federal facility is all fun and games? Should we just let in anyone that wants to come here, without finding out WHY they are coming here? Do you think it would be wise to just open our borders to anyone?? Most of those 'refugees' are passing thru several other countries on their way here. Why don't they stay in one of THOSE countries? They are better than what they left behind. (supposedly) Maybe they wanna come here because of all the free handouts the democrats think we should give them...... Why work hard for a living, and barely make it, when you can come here, and get free housing, free food, free health care, and even some spending money?? A standard of living FAR superior to what they left behind, and all for free. What's not to like??? And you wonder why we are some 22 TRILLION dollars in debt?? I don't...... Those entitlements make up better than 25% of the TOTAL federal budget. Have a look at the chart Here. Please note the SPIKE in immigration starting in about 1975...... Now, how long do you think current policy is sustainable? Shouldn't america before for americans FIRST??? Shouldn't we address our own issues with homeless, and lack of affordable healthcare for our citizens FIRST? Why should we put these johnny-come-latelys ahead of citizens? Let's see. What happened in the early 1970s. Oh, I remember, Tricky Dick declared a "War on Drugs" and sent armed troops into Central and South America. And that invasion from the north sparked 'tribal' infighting to keep control of the drug manufacturing sources. Imagine that, The United States precipitated the crisis that started the refugees fleeing north. And we have continued pumping money and equipment into Central and Southern America for the last forty five years. Maybe, just maybe now, the United States has a responsibility to those who were, and are, directly impacted by the actions of the United States. Or are you saying the United States should write off the victims of their war on drugs as collateral damage and pretend they don't exist? In spite of your hyperbole, nobody is putting the refugees above American citizens. And according to the commitments the United States made in 1954. we are not supposed to treat refugees as subhuman either. But what Trump is doing with his policies is treating refugees as subhumans who can be tortured, imprisoned, starved and denied their basic human rights just for seeking asylum. And what you are doing by your comments justifying Trump's mistreatment of refugees is to further dehumanize the victims of a true human tragedy. And that is abhorrent. Quite frankly, I would rather befriend a thousand refugees than one United States citizen who would participate in the deliberate dehumanization of even one other human being, especially when their reason is "they're different, they're not like us". But alas, that "they're different, they're not like us" logic is quite popular. It put into power the greatest Fascist regime ever to exist. And the way things are progressing, Trump and his sycophant ideologues might just succeed in creating another. And with that, I am done with this discussion. I am out of pearls for casting. Leaving? Good. The veiled insults, (poorly, at that) and holier-than-thou attitude get old pretty quick. I would also point out that the various countries we are getting 'refugees' from are not due to just the war on drugs. Those countries have issues all their own, that have been ongoing for decades. I would point out that the cartel wars in Mexico are far more violent than other contributors to our 'refugee crisis', yet most of them are NOT Mexicans. Would you care to explain that? Oh, that's right, you just drop your insults and run. You also seem to assume a great deal about me.... Most of which is an invention of your own mind. Please point out where I have ever so much as implied the 'they are different' justification? I don't recall reading anything about the current admin applying that either...... I also suspect that you toss insults to the current administration out there to justify your own position. The whole 'fascist' thing is fraught with innuendo, and is a convenient label to apply to an administration you simply don't like, even though the economy is doing well, (for the most part) and life in general seems to be improving. I will grant you the pres really isn't 'presidential', in the old-school definition of things, but, he is getting the job done. I don't agree with all of his actions, but, that applies to EVERY past administration as well. I also note that you didn't bother to address the financial impact of the sheer number of 'refugees' currently showing up on our doorstep. Here's an idea, if you think those folks are so much better than your fellow citizens, why don't you have them move in with you? You can support them on your own dime, not on my tax dollars. I would MUCH prefer my tax dollars go to supporting our veterans, and actual american citizens. Wouldn't that be novel?

Refugees? Perhaps. They may call themselves that, but, what are they running from? A third world country, with a corrupt government? Gee, plenty of those around. (plenty of FIRST world countries with corrupt governments as well) Some of them may have a legitimate beef, but, on average, 4500 of them PER DAY?????? That MAKES it a national security issue. We simply don't have the facilities/staff/ability to hold and process that many folks. We don't even have the ability to warehouse them while they are waiting to be processed. But, according to you, we MUST accept them???? I think that is a treaty we need to pull out of as well. It is NOT our problem that their country of origin sucks. WE don't make it that way. Them leaving isn't going to change anything. Why don't THEY FIX THEIR OWN COUNTRY?

You should post this in the New Vegas mod troubleshooting forum. :)

LOLOL. I need to brush up on my remedial reading skills. I read your other post as "it didn't work'........ I need more coffee......

Wait, you mean, they AREN'T doing that NOW???? :D

Are you getting an error? Does the download ever actually start?

We aren't really "Free" here in America either. The government is constantly passing laws regulating how we live, how we raise our children, how we educate our children, and numerous other aspects of daily life. Granted, we have more 'freedoms' that a fair few other places...... but, those freedoms have been eroded and paired down as time passes. Folks trying to convince us 'we don't need those particular freedoms in an enlightened society'..... Hhhmmm..... Show me an 'enlightened society' and I might actually buy into that. Or not. Safety is also an illusion. Even the most restrictive governments cannot keep their populations safe. No government can assure safety, merely by passing laws, or restricting rights. (which is the tack they generally try and take anyway, even though they already know it won't work.......) Those that would give up freedom, for the promise of safety, deserve neither.

You really shouldn't be using IE any more. Far to many folks don't support it anymore, including Microsoft.... it is outdated, insecure, and was crummy when it was new. :) Firefox, or Google Chrome are far superior.

Would I like to be immortal? You bet. But, NOT if it means just being data on a drive somewhere..... I want to be able to move about, interact with my fellow man, (and woman......) and LIVE life. Not merely exist.

It's a more powerful card than the GTX 1080..... For the money you spend, vs. the performance you get, no, not worth it. Most games don't take advantage of multiple cards in any event.

It's just another harddrive, works exactly the same as standard drives, just a LOT faster. The game plays from where it is installed, if it's installed on the HDD, that is where it is loading from. On games that you frequently see loading screens, installing the games to the SSD is a REALLY good plan. If you are doing steam games, I *think* it has a tool to migrate your game storage to a different drive. Also, depending on what game you are playing, these days, they put the save games in your user profile, in the stock windows location. (usually C:\Users\whateveryourusernameis\documents\my games\game name\saves)

Are you using a mod manager to install? If so, it should tell you which mods are missing masters.

I don't think there were many folks attempting to get in to Russian controlled territory. :) There were, however, a fair few trying to get OUT. A significant percentage of them had a very bad experience with that..... which discouraged further attempts.

Apparently, the mic isn't really off..... You can check that theory by looking at the input line levels with the mic in various positions.......

I wish the same for you, and better health......

Actually there is. The constitution guarantees rights of citizens , it does not extend human rights for the whole world. And a person becomes a citizen in this context when they have a certification of birth. So no birth certificate , no birthday , no constitutional protection. However with my understanding using the "seems to me method" And the whole reason I started this thread. Is the meaning of abort and what / when that applies. Now albeit the birth process is not instantaneous ... I think it is separate from what is called the pregnancy. So imo I think the right to abort applies to the pregnancy , and not the birth process. Because the pregnancy has come to full term delivering its effects to a womans body that she should have a right of choice over anybody elses. Therefore nothing to spare her from involving termination of a new viable human. But the viability of that human still is a point of choice imo for someone to now step into the shoes of parenthood. Basically, all that really means is according the constitution, it isn't ILLEGAL to have an abortion, as the fetus, technically, has no rights. Applying that logic, a woman should technically be legally able to abort her baby, right up to the point of birth..... at which time, it all becomes moot anyway. So, seems to me, (I like that method too. :) ) what we need to do, is clarify just WHEN the fetus *should* have rights..... At the moment, that one is really up in the air, and the timeframe is determined by which party is in power.... (see Alabama, Mississippi, et al.) Either that, or the government should just stay the hell out of it. (my preferred solution.) The current conditions are intolerable... Democrats: We don't care about you UNTIL you are born, at which point, we want to take care of you, and tell you how to live your life. Republicans: We care about you until you are born, after that, you are on your own. Oh, and by the way, you better live your life the way we tell you to, or we'll slap you in prison. The republican position is simply untenable. They want to force girls that get pregnant, regardless of circumstances, to bear their child, but, on the other hand, offer zero support for that child, once it is born. Folks like to offer adoption as an alternative to abortion.... but, that still plays merry hill with the girls body, and you end up with a child that most likely is raised by the state in any event, as adoption is a major pain in the US, and hideously expensive. Which makes the target audience of folks willing to adopt rather small. Almost every adult that I know, that actually adopted a child, went to another country to do so. Why? It's less expensive, and less hoop jumping. In all reality, I think we need FEWER laws, not more..... and the state should not be telling anyone what they should do with their life, and their body. Including suicide. (which is technically illegal....)

How politically INcorrect of you. :smile: Unfortunately, that scenario applies both ways. It seems that folks decide which side they want to be on, and from there on out, the 'other' side is automatically wrong. Well sorry I implied it is a one way street ... which I did not intend ... but I did gloss over it , only speaking from where I stand since it is what I have experience with. But this brings up what I think is a pertinent question to ask ourselves. What are the present reactions and hyperbole being fueled by ? Is it just the right reacting to the left , which is reacting to the previous right , which reacted to the previous left , that reacted to the right in the first place ? ( add in another 10 reactions back and forth maybe ) In which it seems people are just holding on to history without learning from it. Therefore it seems we might be better off to just forget about history if that is all we are going to use it for ? The US has already demonstrated that we can't learn from history. At least, our government can't. They seem to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. As for the problem itself, I think it's a feedback loop, one side does it, so the other side follows suit, and so on and so forth. Only way to break the loop, is for one side or the other to STOP DOING IT. Trouble is, there are too many folks involved, and convincing enough of them that what they are doing now is a bad idea...... is going to be difficult, at best. In all reality, at this point, I don't think we CAN fix it..... We simply don't have the ability to boot enough of the 'stuck in a rut' crowd out at any one election. By the time the next election rolls around, the folks that replaced the previous rutters are now rutters themselves. The only real way I see to affect any meaningful change would to replace ALL of them, at once. And, short of a revolution, that's not going to happen. So, what do I expect to see instead? More of the same, more stupidity from our government, until the world realizes that all that US debt they are holding, isn't worth the paper it's printed on. At which point, the US can no longer spend a trillion or more dollars every year, that they don't have..... and our creditors are going to be looking to get paid back. So, our economy instantly tanks, the dollar becomes worthless, the world economy follows very shortly thereafter down the tubes.... and then the only real alternative is war.... WWIII anyone? That should be interesting. I hope I don't live to see it. Have a look here. Notice that congressional approval rating hasn't topped 30% since about 2009 (and even then, it was only briefly). It hasn't topped 50% since 2003, or so. Yet we still keep putting these same guys back into office???? The press goes nuts when Presidential approval rating dips below 40%, yet we rarely, if ever, hear about congressional (dis)approval. That just pretty much proves my point. Americans have some intelligent individuals, but, taken collectively, we got nuthin on a box of rocks.

Did that work in East Berlin? No. No, it did not. Actually, it worked fairly well. They did not have nearly the problem with border-jumpers that we do here.

Well, when your arguments can't be based on logic and reason, (as in this case) the emotional appeal is the only thing you have left. Kinda like the Dems campaign for gun control. :) Basically, what this tells me is, the government is in the business of wanting to legislate most every aspect of our lives. Of course, that's nothing new. And there is no constitutional right to an abortion. That requires some interpretation of what has been written...... and not everyone agrees on the interpretation. Big surprise there huh?

I think they don't reassign the phone number for like six months, though, that is likely to vary from carrier to carrier. The idea is, they don't want the folks that get the old number, to be getting calls for you for months...... What's funny is, I STILL get calls for the previous owner of my phone number 7 YEARS after she stopped using it...... Always love getting calls from collection agencies that don't believe me when I tell them I have no clue who they are looking for. Don't know her, never met her, don't know where she is now. Don't know where she went. Don't know any of her family. No, she doesn't live with me. No, I am most certainly not her..... (I am male, born that way, not a trans.) It's hilarious.

How politically INcorrect of you. :) Unfortunately, that scenario applies both ways. It seems that folks decide which side they want to be on, and from there on out, the 'other' side is automatically wrong. Regardless of the issue, or their position on it. But, not everyone is like that, just the folks that are most likely to vote....... And voter turnout has been rather volatile for the last several decades.... but, rarely gets over 60% since the 60's........ I suspect that there are a fair few folks out there that are just disgusted with the entire process, and how meaningless it has become, so, simply choose not to participate at all. I don't blame them.

I agree with you to a certain point, however, the concept of the "wall" should be more pragmatic than just simply to build a fence across the border. It should mean to fully "stop" everything that has, is or will allow illegal immigrants to cross, live, work and suck our resources as it has been happening. We have thousands of them already living in US that could continue working in those farms so he economy will not suffer as you said. We should stop women to cross the border and giving birth and automatically get the citizenship for their babies, which they use not only to declare them in the income tax return and get money from the government but at the same time, because their children is already a US citizen, the entire family will also get the citizenship sooner or later .... US is the only country in the world with this stupid policy and that policy was not made by the illegal immigrants nor by the worker program, but by the Congress. Before thinking about letting come in, we should think about what is the cause for them to cross the border and violate this country law as they please ? The answer is simple : their governments are thieves that steal all the money from the country, do not create jobs for them and they have no other option to look for another place to get a job. This is very sad but it is not our problem. Instead crossing the border, they should fight and resolve their own issues as a country and people and that is why, when US decides to build the "wall - fence", it will force them to take their business in their own hands. I am a tax payer and I have to pay a lot of money for my insurance and not only that, I have to pay back to the freaking IRS every year and I know ( because of the job that I have allow me to be in touch with everything I have said ) that my taxes are being used not only to support the war in other countries but to support immigrant programs that allow them to get for free, what I cannot get myself and I am a citizen of US. Selfish ? No I am not. I have no problem with other people coming to US by the legal channels but not illegally as it is happening. Yep, birthright citizenship actually made sense back in the day... but, not so much any more. Trump was talking about changing that at one point, but, he got shot down. Apparently, it would take another amendment to the constitution to affect that change, and that is not a simple process. Question becomes, would 2/3rds of the states ratify it?

What jack is your microphone plugged into? Is this some particular software suite that is giving you issues? Keep in mind, there is a difference between the 'audio in' jack, and the 'microphone' jack.... they are not interchangeable. :D
