  1. Directly above the center of the earth.
  2. They are trying to blame this on trump? Seriously? Nixon went to China...... and things haven't be the same since. (and that was back in the 70's.....) The US government has talked a good game on one hand, and on the other, granted 'most favored nation' status to China. Trump had nothing to do with that either. No. This isn't a situation that just sprang up recently, certainly not just in the last 5 months. This has been building for DECADES. If folks are so up in arms about what Trump is doing, where were they when our government was allowing the Chinese to basically purchase this country? Take a good look at just how much real estate is now Chinese owned here in the US, and how much of our infrastructure is now owned by Chinese companies. Terribly sorry, trying to put this all off on Trump is dishonest at best. What I find most amusing though is, we do trillions in business with China, a communist nation, every year, yet, we won't do business with Cuba, another communist nation... Why? Because the evil commies in Cuba have some serious human rights problems..... Just like China...... Talk about hypocritical........ The US government is extremely good at it.
  3. How so? China is the country that has been bankrolling NK, providing them with tech, right along with Russia. From where I am sittin', it appears that our government has attempted to discourage NK from developing their weapons programs with incentives, aid, etc. Of course, none of that worked....... not for the last 65 years or so at any rate. Why folks think it will work now, is beyond me. If anything, NK has gotten even MORE belligerent of late.

    I'm Amazed!

    Yes indeed. :) It isn't quite as active as it once was, but, it's still there, and still modding. :)
  5. Replace it. If it is coming up with errors now, that means it is soon to be dead. Back up the data, replace it, be happy.
  6. Power supplies are most efficient when running at 50% capacity. Doesn't matter. Power draw on a PC is pretty much insignificant in a household. Granted, with that much overhead, you would never have to worry about being short on power....
  7. Carrier Groups have the most integrated anti missile systems currently available, each having an effective perimeter of approximately 200 miles. Properly stationed they could interfere or down most any launches by NK. It's just a guess that the Japanese are a tad nervous which must pale in comparison to how the SK's feel.. If NK launches at Seoul, the question becomes, can our interceptors get their, before the missiles hit their target? Artillery would be FAR more effective though.... I would like to think that Lil Kim wouldn't be so idiot as to initiate hostilities.... but, I've been wrong before.... And if The Donald starts it....... I don't think SK is going to be real happy with him, they are the ones that will suffer most, almost immediately.

    There is still an active community modding Morrowind..... A game that came out more than 15 years ago.......
  9. And now we have yet a THIRD super-carrier strike group moving to the region...... I am REAL curious what The Donald has in mind here... Is it just a show of force, or, is he planning on doing something?
  10. Are you doing anything else while it's downloading? If the machine is just sitting there, its entirely possible that the O/S powers off the Wireless adapter as part of its "power saving" options.
  11. Nope. It might 'look' better, as you would be running perhaps the same resolution on a smaller screen.... but, it won't change performance a bit.
  12. Decide where you want to mount the system board, and go from there. You will also need some fairly substantial holes for cooling. Either that, or a provision for mounting your radiators outside of the box. As most of them come pre-assembled... that's gonna be interesting.
  13. Think I would go with at MINIMUM, a 750 watt P/S... I would be real tempted to go with a 1000 watt, just to have some additional overhead.
  14. There is a fair bit of debate of whether it even still is an RPG.......
  15. That would be wonderful especially if they if they knew better than to blabber crap to the Russians. Ok ,well then Lady GaGa she's a damn smart chick and she's pretty hot. I was thinking more along the lines of... maybe... Dolly Parton. She is 'mature', has a clue, and doesn't take guff from anyone. :D I will grant you, her 'cute' days are long behind her..... still.....
  16. You're not alone i've heard others say the very same thing.I simply couldn't vote for either one so i wrote in Miley Cyrus.I used my vote to rebel against the choices we were given,it was a worthless act on my part but WTF?Ya gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything. I don't believe in god but i dig this song. I would have had to kill you if she had won...... :D Hehehehe...come on Miley's a cutie...What would be wrong with having a cute president? I will admit it does have a certain appeal.... but, just for something new and different, I would actually like to have someone that has a clue in the oval office. :D Wouldn't that be novel?
  17. They are 'appealing to a wider audience'.... I.E. They want to make more money on their games..... Look forward to that trend continuing. I foresee TESVI having three skills, Stealth, Magic, and Combat..... and that's it....

  19. Trump was simply a "better" (for certain values thereof) alternative to Billary. I REALLY didn't want her as pres, and Trump was the other choice........ I didn't vote "for" trump, so much as "against" Hillary.
  20. Well,hell all we can do is vote for the folks that expose themselves as candidates we can't peer into their minds to fact check them before they attempt to blow up the world .Hehe... Not so much stupid as conditioned.We tend to depend heavily on emotion to make decisions and neglect our ability to reason. Makes me wonder just what percentage of the population has lost their ability to reason...... :D Studies are remarkably consistent on that question: 30% of any country or other human population lack the intelligence to form independent opinions, and are therefore forced to rely on other people to tell them what and how to think. In our country this demographic is known as Fox News viewers, Rush Limbaugh listeners and fundamentalist "Christians". In Iran this same demographic keeps their ayatollahs in power, etc. The ever-present danger in democracries including ours is that this 30% is able to bridge the gap to 50%, and starts affecting laws, votes and candidates, and brings down the entire country. It's already happened in Kansas, where currently human fetuses are guaranteed 14th Amendment equal protection, but gay Americans are not. And the 30% that gets fed their 'opinion', are likely the folks that actually go out and vote..... Of course, both sides have their idiots. It isn't limited to just conservatives...... What's even more worrisome, is the number of folks that get most of their news from Facebook........
  21. I don't know what the percentage is but i'm sure it's very high.Look at the posts on youtube,irrationality rules on youtube.Look at the debate section here for that matter.How many threads don't devolve into petty name calling?Not many attempts at reasoning happens here.Instead of calling someone a poopyhead one might ask them how/why they came to their conclusions.That would require a civil and rational dialog which is just too much for those that are motivated to impose/project their superiority and reduce others to a defensive emotional posture.Hehe... Thinking one has won a debate because one has elicited an emotional response in the other is delusional and of no value.Hell it's no different than children in a schoolyard trading yo-mama insults.Whatever value the debate might have engendered is lost in inane sophomoric behavior. Civil? Rational? On an internet forum? What are these mythical beasts you speak of? It isn't just YouTube, or Facebook, or the Debates forum here. It's the same pretty much anywhere you want to look? Wanna get REALLY depressed? Check out some of the forums dedicated to political 'discussion'....... You would think all the posters were of single digit age..... Reddit has some FINE examples of this. Personally, I think it pretty well represents society as a whole. At this point, we are so polarized, that if you don't agree with some group or other, (or, individuals, for that matter.) you get labeled. Be it libtard, conservatard, moron, communist, etc. There is no longer any middle ground. So, arguments invariably boil down to "I am right, you are a moron." by one side, or the other... or both sides. Sad, but, there it is.

  23. Hehe,i knew you were the culprit but he can't remember so he blamed me. When i first read Trumps comments calling Comey a nutjob i laughed so so hard that tears flowed.I don't usually take an interest in politics but this is so bizarre i can't seem to tear myself away.I feel as if i'm dreaming all this and when i wake i intend to write a book titled,When the Inmates Ran the Institution. 1930's Germany indeed,Trump would love to step into the role of Hitler and if he could get enough support he would. The inmates have been running the asylum for decades. What strikes me as truly strange is, we americans keep putting them back in there....... Are we really collectively that stupid? Seems so.......
  24. I am expecting collapse before anything gets fixed....... Folks are too entrenched in their positions to give them up.
  25. Seems to me with pumpknhead as president the US can't go much lower.Pumpkinhead's supporters are just like him,it's like there is a pumpkinhead hive mind.I don't know if you check out the youtube comments but they all talk alike.They are all narcissistic,angry, Hillery obsessed,over emotional,conspiracy loving crackpots.Their master won the election yet they still cry over Hillery beating the rap,just like Trump they can't let go.It's crazy man. Well then, and I am the one being accused of being desperate, and resorting to insults, since I don't have an argument.... Pot, meet Kettle, Kettle, say hi to Pot........ And you admit that there was a "rap" to be "beaten". Interesting. I am not really a trump supporter though... I just hated him less than Hilary. ALL politicians are crooks. What never ceases to amaze me is the fact that 99% of americans are well aware that the current crop of folks in DC don't care about them at all, don't really care about the country either, all they are concerned with is lining their own pockets, and getting re-elected. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to give them ALL the boot, and start over again from scratch. Term limits are a GRAND idea. Maybe congress would be more concerned about doing what is right for america, rather than what is right for their wallets.....
