HeyYou

Personally, I think it's too late to salvage the situation. We are heading for a major disaster, and we are only accelerating on that course. In order to avoid that, to much would have to change, and the only folks that could possibly implement the change, don't want to, as the current situation makes them more money......

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke. :D Something as simple as a bic lighter would be considered magic in the 1800's, or earlier.......

In order for PC gaming to advance.... we have to wait for the next-gen consoles to come out....... I don't think there is a single "PC exclusive" title out there any more.

Yeah, welcome to the new politics.... The dems are all socialists, the repubbies are war-mongers, and obstructionists, and are just itchin' to pull the trigger on Iran, the independents are whack-job extremists, the occupy movement is all about ME, and what I can get from the government.... etc. Everyone paints all the 'other guys' as some flavor of evil, that is out to destroy our country on purpose. What's really funny is, they all say "we have the best interests of 'THE PEOPLE' in mind".... Their definitions of 'the people' just vary considerably from party to party. None of them have the faintest desire to do what's right FOR THE COUNTRY, only, what is right for THEM.

Trouble is, it isn't sustainable in the long run, and we are starting to see the backlash from that......

If the drive is still under warranty, Samsung should have a number for you to call to get it covered. Trouble is... they will want you to send it to them, and then they will send you a blank one..... which leaves your computer with a drive for a while. Other option would be to simply purchase another drive, make restore disks for your computer, (should have an option for that somewhere.....) put an O/S on the new drive, move all your stuff over to the new drive, then warranty out the soon to be dead one.

Obama gave us Yemen, (and still is...) and Libya. Two places we really don't have any business being in. He can't seem to decide which side to support though, the oppressive existing regime, or, the up-and-coming muslim brotherhood regime..... I think he flips a quarter, and lets chance decide. Then we have Iran...... Obama is prepping the country for military action there. The Israelis want it, the military industrial complex wants it, the military will go where they are told. (not to be confused with the earlier military, which is the research and acquisition side..... they make big bucks off of wars, and can use them to justify spending billions more on weapon system that don't do what the original specs called for, and have not even once come in remotely close to 'on budget'....) No one handed these wars to Obama, he took them up on his own volition. How either of them have anything to do with National Security is absolutely beyond me. I am surprised he hasn't added the Syrian rebels to his list.... (of course, he would have to side with the rebels, as the existing government most certainly does NOT want our help......) His economic policy his echoed GWB's. Tax cuts. More spending, to the same folks that got us into this mess in the first place...... Etc. Now that he is on the campaign trail, he is touting "nixing tax breaks for outsourcing jobs." Something he talked about last time around, yet, after elections...... nothing happened. He has zero credibility with me, even though I voted for him. That isn't gonna happen this time. Of course, I won't vote for Romney either. Him winning would ensure the continuation of business as usual, and our economy would slide ever faster into recession. I just hope there is some viable third party candidate to vote for..... if there isn't, I simply won't vote for either of the two losers. Where's my "none of the above" option? My question becomes: Do we really WANT someone 'politically experienced' in office again? Seems to me, that just guarantees the same old feces coming out of washington. So far as I am concerned, it's time to wipe the slate clean, and start over again.

Obama's "Health Care Reform" had very little to do with actual health CARE, and everything to do with Health Insurance..... He wanted a public option initially, but, even with a dem controlled house AND senate, he would not have been able to get that thru. (lobbyists wouldn't let their bought and paid for people vote for it.) So far as I can tell, as far as economic, and foreign policy are concerned, there is NO difference between Bush, and Obama. Obama has just as many wars to his credit as Bush, fortunately, they weren't quite as involved, and didn't have the staying power the Bush wars' did. As for running for President.... sure, would love too. :D Unfortunately, given the way congress works (or, doesn't, as the case may be....) I would not be able to accomplish a damn thing, as I would most certainly be bucking the system, and congress would be looking for ANY excuse to boot me the heck out. Either that, or I would be assassinated...... I am thinkin' my first (only?) term would be rather uncomfortable for the american people, as little to nothing would happen in washington.... I wouldn't sign ANYTHING that added to pork barrel spending, and no way in hell would congress pass the reforms I have in mind.

So, you should be home by the time she gets near 'her time'. Do what ya can for her from a distance, that's about all you CAN do. If you have friends/family back home, ask them to help her out as well. :) Being fairly far along in pregnancy can really limit your capabilities. :D

That's the correct version. But, being as you have a downloaded version, I am going to guess that you are running into the same problem as the direct2drive folks did, encrypted exe file. OBSE won't work with it.

you could try stripping yourself nekkid, and then typing in the console: player.dispelallspells That should remove ALL spells, but, won't do enchantments. See if that makes any difference.

If your save depends on ESM's that aren't there.... 50/50 chance it will crash on loading. Bash has the ability to remove masters from your save..... not sure if that will enable them to load successfully though. Use bash to see what mods your save wants, make sure those are loaded....... Natural_Weather_HDR_by_Max_Tael.esp is know to potentially cause some issues..... Using all natural weather instead is a good idea.

Depends on what they have in mind... if it is a pre-built image, that they simply write to your harddrive, EVERYTHING you have on there will be gone. Need to chat with them, and see what process they are going to be using, and take it from there. if you have a dvd burner in your laptop, you could back up all your personal stuff, and then it just wouldn't matter.... might be a lot of dvd's though....

How much longer are you going to be deployed there?

Socialist. :D Keep your terms straight. Doesn't matter who wins in november. the country is still going down the toilet, only difference between them is going to be the rate at which it proceeds. It's a toss-up over who will get us to the cliff faster..... Neither party (not just the candidates) have any idea how to 'fix' anything. They think they can just legislate a better economy, when they have already proven that they can only legislate a WORSE economy. Not to mention that they merely poke around at symptoms, in the hopes of 'looking' like they are actually doing something, but, leave the underlying causes to fester, and even enhance them. And even if they DID know exactly what they needed to so, not a one of those spineless corporate flunkies in washington would have the cahones to actually DO it. That would cut off their gravy train...... Nope, don't expect anything to change after november. More of the same.

Yeah, I also think there should be a "None of the Above" option on the ballot, and if that option wins, we start over again with a new batch of candidates. Including for the incumbent party.

I think it was FO3 where some rumor or other had it that ammo was indeed being manufactured somewhere...... if it weren't, finding ANY ammo would be a miracle after 200 years.....

what color is the little box next to the mod name in the right panel?

Here's a list of keycodes.

I couldn't find where Obama had promised to get us out of Afghanistan... but, it sure does seem to me that he did mutter something about that at one point. Iraq was an unjustified war. Bush wanted it, and Bush got it. Afghanistan was ostensibly to get ONE man. Why we had to overthrow a government to do so, is beyond me. Sure, we didn't like their form of government, but, we don't like N. Korea's government, or China's, or Iran's, or a host of other countries either. We haven't invaded any of them yet..... why is that?? I voted for Obama because I wanted something different from the previous eight years. What did I get? Bush 2.0. Same foreign policies, same economic policy, same war-mongering. I am not arguing JUST the financial cost, or the morality of those wars, I am also quite incensed about the cost in lives lost, and utterly changed by the experience of being there. And to what end? To install a government far more corrupt than the one we replaced, to watch opium production skyrocket, and american money used to bribe our enemies NOT to attack our convoys, so that we have the supplies we need so that we can fight them..... and in turn, they use the money we give them to buy weapons to fight US. Where is the sense in that??? Congress, so far as I know, hasn't actually declared war on ANY of those nations where we have been fighting. The commander in chief used his plenipotentiary powers to put our troops there. He had to get approval for funding... and congress went along with that. So, they are just as responsible for sustaining those wars, as the two presidents are for getting us in to them in the first place. Bad idea all the way around. Iraq has more terrorists NOW, than were there before we stuck our stick into the hornets nest. Afghanistan is sliding back into what basically amounts to a civil war. We pull out in 2014, anyone care to give me odds on how long it takes for them to go right back to exactly the way they were before we arrived? Libya..... we supported the muslim brotherhood to overthrow a dictator.... I would put odds that that one will come back to bite us as well. Egypt..... MB in power there as well, and we are giving them millions of dollars a year..... Why?? Do we think we can BUY friends? That really doesn't work very well..... Time for dinner. :D

What mods ya running?

getactiveeffectcodes won't work in the console. It returns an array, and the console has no clue what to do with arrays. You would have to write a script, that would then present the information in a book, or scroll.

Obama not a war-monger? What about Libya? Yemen? And perhaps, soon to be Iran? In that respect, there is very little difference between him, and his predecessor. He was more concerned about getting his health care bill passed, than he was about rescuing our economy. The jury is still out on whether the stimulus actually accomplished anything..... personally, I think he gave the money to the wrong people. Had he followed my idea, and given roughly 30 grand to each registered voter, (the equivalent of what he handed out to corporate america/banksters) I really don't think we would be in the position we are now..... that would have had a MUCH more direct effect on the economy, including the housing market. Not to mention the billions he gave to companies that later folded up, and blew away...... Granted, I really don't think Mitt is going to be any better for the americans right here at home. He is one of the 1%ers, and will more than likely continue the policies of Bush and Co. (which got us where we are today) How anyone can seriously think that free trade agreements will create jobs here at home is beyond me. Especially when the government is handing out tax breaks for exporting american jobs. Right there with ya on that one though. Trouble is, it seems that getting elected to public office, and moving to washington, precludes the notion that you have anything resembling common sense, integrity, or even honesty. When government is bought and sold on the open market, as it is here in the states, those with the money are the ones that make the rules, and if you think those rules will be of benefit to the average american.... well, I have some nice Ocean-front property in Nevada for sale.......

I would go and have a check up with the doc, just in case......
