HeyYou

Try doing a tracert, and see where all you are bouncing around to, and what response times look like.

I get speeds over 100kb/s, even without a premium membership. (which I can tolerate....) There is something else going on there with your download speeds..... Wonder if someone between you, and here, is throttling downloads.... (doesn't really make sense... but, there ya go.) Don't have a bandwidth cap on your service do you?

Are you really 64 years old? I would have guess somewhere in your teens......

Do a full uninstall. Then, delete any residual folders left over. (after having made some backups, of course.) Restart your machine, then reinstall. Another trick you might consider is deleting the skyrim*.ini's in the My Games\Skyrim folder. The uninstallers just don't clean up after themselves well.

Probably once a month.....

I just take it outside, and grab the hose off the air compressor. Dial it down to about 40PSI or so, and blow all the dust and such out of my machine. I live in an old farm house, so, it's something that needs to happen fairly often. Survey complete.

:laugh: Guilty. :D

I think he will always be Spock to me..... I saw him in Mission: Impossible, and my first thought was: What happened to his ears? :D

Data was the Anti-Spock. :)

What happened to Comcast BUYING Time-Warner? Did that get nixed?

Awwwwww, the internet service providers aren't going to be able to extort money to give someones traffic 'priority'..... I am so depressed. :D (in a pigs eye.)

Running any mods?

I AM disabled..... (I have multiple sclerosis..... not in a wheel chair yet, but, that day is coming....) I help anyone that looks like they may need it. I'll offer, and if they accept, all well and good, if they decline, well that's fine too. That doesn't apply just to people with disabilities though, that applies to anyone, young, old, rich, poor, color scheme is not relevant either. Oddly enough, I rather enjoy the feeling I get when I help someone, and they smile, and say "Thank You." That's really all I need. :D

Does your friend also own the game? If so, then sure, sharing can be done. The only real issues is the sheer size of the install.... In my 'moderately' modded game, the install directory is over 20gig...... takes a while to transfer that to a thumb drive, or whathaveyou.

Fusion power would be good, if we could only figure it out, but, I am sure someone, somewhere, will come up with a reason why we shouldn't be using it....... Some of the enviro-nazis won't be happy until technology is completely banned, and we all go back to subsistence farming. Something I expect will happen after the next world war. Provided any humans survive it.

Not to mention it doesn't have byproducts that are useful in weapons production. I am REAL curious why this technology never took off.

Yep, it's legit, and you will have to wait till their bandwidth cap resets to be able to see it. Google may have it cached?

The government doesn't want them searching for truth any more. They might discover that we have been lied to for decades, and upset some people.

Anyone assigning labels to someone else's behavior is going to be doing so from their own bias. I think the whole idea of 'hate crimes' is just another way for the government/court system to extract more money in the form of fines, and restitution.

Beth discovered with Morrowind, that NOTHING adds to the longevity of a game, like the ability to mod it, and a decent tool to do it with. Morrowind is still going along quite well, and Beth is still making money from sales. (steam, gog, etc. I haven't seen a disc version in the stores for quite some time though.) Nothing like still making money from a game, 14 years after its release. :D

Tidus is absolutely correct. There is no 'responsibility' in the media. Look at some of the 'stories' that get shoved down our throats.... Consider how many times the press has just been flat out wrong, or even blatantly lied. I don't watch broadcast television any more. It simply isn't worth watching.

In this instance, I agree with the Russians...... Paying to get hostages back just ensures that more hostages will be taken, and you end up financing those you are fighting. Sending in special forces to try and free them is a much better idea. Failing that, killing everyone around, you would think would discourage the hostage takers a bit. Now, that said...... While our government states "we don't negotiate with terrorists", that's really a lie. They have done so on a fairly regular basis. The 'prisoner exchange' for the Bowe Bergdahl guy for instance. Or, how about paying some of the warlords in afghanistan to NOT attack our convoys? Right, let's pay the folks we are fighting, not to fight us in one spot, so they can use the money to buy weapons, etc, to fight us somewhere else. That makes perfect sense...... No, wait...... I have given up expecting anything even remotely resembling 'intelligence', from those within the beltway.

A fair bit of the issues of low turnout in '14, is because the american public, in general, are simply fed up with washingtons outright stupidity. Why vote when it really doesn't matter who you vote for, as nothing is going to change.

No, its not 72 virgins, its 72 VIRGINIANS!

Violence WOULD be dramatically reduced, as you would significantly reduce the motivation for 'turf wars' and such. (look at what's happening in mexico, should the US legalize drugs, 99% of that would go away, as there would no longer be any reason for it.) And yes, some of the drug users would indeed die. May seem a tad harsh, but, I just don't have a problem with that. Folks die from drugs everyday anyway. If drugs were legal, and taxed, some of the proceeds would go to fund Rehab centers, and those that actually WANTED help, could get it. (which is not the case today.) Those that didn't? Well, that problem would eventually take care of itself.
