  1. Keep in mind, that various law enforcement agencies, the national guard, and, if it comes down to it, the Army.... are MUCH better armed, likely better trained, and have pretty much a limitless supply of manpower. If you take on the government in an armed conflict, you lose. The above gets my vote as the most pathetically ignorant claim I've ever read on this site. HeyYou, can you tell us what country you live in, where your federal government derives its power from somebody other than the citizens of your country? You sure as hell don't live in the U.S. If a march to DC was organized, not to demand change but to forcibly replace our current government, do you seriously believe a single U.S. soldier would pick up his gun and start firing on his family and friends, in order to protect a financially and morally bankrupt government? Who would stand to defend it at this point? Anyone? On paper, the US government derives it's power from the people, but, that really hasn't been the case for quite some time. If the people actually had any power, do you think we would have started wars based on lies? Would we have invaded a country to kill one man? If a march to DC was organized to overthrow the government, you can bet your bottom dollar there would be troops willing to kill their fellow citizens. And they would indeed do so. If you believe otherwise, I would put forth that YOU are the one living in a delusion. Of course, we will never know for sure, as the typical american has become to fat, dumb, and lazy to ever consider such a course of action. We would all rather sit back at home, in front of our computers, and piss and moan about how screwed up our country is, and it's the "other guys" fault.
  2. Trump is a genius a lot like Kim Jung Un......... I think they use the same play book. Why do you keep insisting I am closed minded? I am more than willing to consider any position, provided there is some evidence to back it up. In all reality, I don't CARE if Trump is buddy buddy with Putin, would that really be a bad thing? If so, in what way? Do you think Trump is going to support Russia rebuilding the USSR??? Do you think there is any likelihood at all of that happening? Doesn't being on good terms with Russia actually REDUCE the chances of confrontation? So far, I am not seeing a downside. In all reality, we should become even MORE buddy buddy with Russia. We should be working WITH them, SUPPORTING Assad in Syria. After all, he maintained some semblance of stability there, until we stepped in, and threw a handful of hand grenades into the works. Sure, he is a dictator, and not a very nice guy, but, I tend to think that the folks in that neck of the woods NEEDS that type of leader to keep all the various sects from killing each other. And here we come along, and not only encourage them to do so, but, supply them with the weapons to do a better job of it. Our record in the middle east quite frankly, sucks. We have the schmidas touch there.... everything we touch turns to feces. The folks there would be better off today, had we done NOTHING there. ISIS wouldn't exist, and a whole let less folks wouldn't be dead. Probably...... (they tend to want to whack each other dead at the drop of a hat.....) For the supposed "world leaders", I think we are going in the wrong direction....... But, too late now for Iraq, Yemen, Libya, et. al. Sorry guys.
  3. I wanna see at least the trailer for the show before I shell out hard money for my ticket. :) Trumps anger at the media is mainly due to citing 'anonymous sources'. Some of which, he accuses the press of fabricating. Looking at his list of 'fake news' organizations....... immediately discredits any notion of accuracy there. Granted, some newseys have been bitten by running a story before it was verified..... but, by and large, the stories they run do have some basis in truth, just with whichever organizations political bias proudly displayed. The only thing I can see that he wants to 'gut the first amendment' is to bar press organizations of using anonymous sources...... Congress isn't going to allow that to happen..... Nor would two thirds of the states allow it to happen. (the only way it COULD happen is with a constitutional amendment...... how far do you think that's going to get?) You think I should trust the media? Take whatever they say at face value? That isn't going to happen. I haven't trusted the media LONG before trump even considered running for political office. That isn't something you can blame on him. The press has proven themselves biased, and untrustworthy for decades. They are only in it for the ratings, and the money. Accuracy went out the window with the bathwater decades ago. We were united during WWII. :D Yeah, and we haven't really been since then........ It's just becoming far more obvious, and far more pronounced of late.
  4. First Paragraph: I would pay real money to see that. :) (Side note: It is not "my" army.......) Trump/Bannon trying to turn us into an 'autocracy' (I.E. dictatorship) has about as much credibility (and likelihood of coming about) as Obama trying to turn us into a socialist state. We've heard it all before, the rhetoric only changes slightly, depending on which party holds the oval office. I am NOT a republican. But then, I am not a democrat either. Both parties hold some views that I agree with, both parties hold some views that I do NOT agree with. This time around, Hilary's platform had too many poison pills for me to swallow, so, I voted republican. Not because I *wanted* Trump in office, but, because I DIDN'T want Hilary in office. Trump was simply the lesser of two evils. (I voted in both elections for Obama, when he was in the runnin'. Not because I WANTED Obama in office, but, because, once again, I DIDN'T want who he was running against in office.) The division is real. It has been real for at least a decade. It was beautifully illustrated how powerful it was becoming in Obama's first term, when the major goal of the republican party was to make sure that NOTHING Obama proposed, actually happened. Didn't matter if it was a good idea or not. If Obama proposed it, the republicans opposed it. Even in the first two years of his first term, when the dems controlled the house, senate, and oval office, he STILL couldn't get much done........ The mainstream media only contributes to the division. In fact, I hold them mostly responsible for goading it into the level we see today. I wonder what happened to an unbiased media? Reporting facts, and taking no position on the issues/events.... Today, there is no such thing as 'unbiased media'. They ALL have their own agenda they want to put forward, and the competing views only further the division.
  5. Keep in mind, that various law enforcement agencies, the national guard, and, if it comes down to it, the Army.... are MUCH better armed, likely better trained, and have pretty much a limitless supply of manpower. If you take on the government in an armed conflict, you lose. If you are so sure what their end goal is, and also sure they will never achieve it, then does it really even matter? Isn't this country already divided enough? Do we really need to do yet more to divide us even further? Trump is not 'all powerful'. He isn't going to get his way on anything that the republican party disagrees with. That, in and of itself, is a major check on his power. Granted, he certainly isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but, he isn't a religious zealot either. Something that I am not sure can be said for Pence, or Ryan...... So far, he has managed to NOT get us into any more wars, which is more than can be said for the previous two administrations......
  6. And how much damage will he do while in office? More, or less, than Trump?
  7. President Ryan? I think we are WAY below the bottom of the barrel here........ Yeah, speaker of the house, Paul Ryan would be next in line. I really don't see him as an improvement either.
  8. President Pence? Are you sure that would be any better? I think he is even more of a nutjob than Trump....... take a look at some of his religious views..... :D
  9. Directly above the center of the earth.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. HeyYou

    I'm Amazed!

    Yes indeed. :) It isn't quite as active as it once was, but, it's still there, and still modding. :)
  13. 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.
  14. 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....
  15. 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.
  16. HeyYou

    I'm Amazed!

    There is still an active community modding Morrowind..... A game that came out more than 15 years ago.......
  17. 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?
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. There is a fair bit of debate of whether it even still is an RPG.......
  23. 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.....
  24. 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?
  25. 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....
