Morning.

 

I actually managed to fall asleep while skyping with my boyfriend. Which is quite unusual since I have an irrational anxiety when a camera is looking at me.

 

Progress is being made, well I did wake up feeling anxious for some reason but oh well.

 

aaaanyway

I'm afraid I must. :(

 

Dark Souls just is not working. Games for Windows Live simply refuses to let me sign in, then if I close that it tells me that I can't save, the resolution is absolutely terrible (despite me setting it to 1600x900 in DSfix), half the screen is black, runs at about 10fps, and has audio problems.

 

In conclusion: worst port ever. I'm so pissed off right now, what a giant rip off. Perhaps I'll try again later/tomorrow, but I'll just end up smashing my screen or sending very venomous letters to various people.

Worked fine for me.

 

I know that GFWL had lots and lots and lots of problems with logins though. I don't remember how I fixed mine, I just know it had something to do with me resetting my password many times.

What about all the red tape from the FEDs and state Goverments, also the DOT

Hello, we all know that there will be a lot of Gov, interference. What will be done to smooth over the multiple problems that will arise in dealing with all the alphabet agencies who will stick there nose in. Is there a business plan that incorporates a strategy? Where will the 1st operating system be constructed and implemented ?

Government is proving to be one of the more significant barriers to ET3 implementation. Fortunately over 70% of the US economy is non-government, this is why we are focused on private implementation of ET3. We are offering land owners (governments or private) 5% of revenue generated across the land if they grant a perpetual right of way (ROW). (NOTE; as with electric ROW, government has the power to take land for public use -- in that case the government would get the 5% -- plus the tax on any profits generated. Most of the ROW land can still be used for other uses such as power lines, grazing, or farming. We believe it is important to "plant seeds" and spend a little of our time informing elected officials and planners about ET3.

Fortunately there are no agencies with direct jurisdiction, and no laws prevent ET3 implementation. If we do not cross state lines, or tie into existing networks, the FED has no jurisdiction except: The FRA (Fed rail admin) has jurisdiction over rule making for railways that are part of the standard gage (4' 8.5") national network. Congress has authorized the FRA to draft a maglev rule, but they have not done so yet. STB (surface transportation board) has rail oversight with respect to rates and environmental jurisdiction over hazardous material transported in pipelines. DOE has jurisdiction over pipelines used to move oil and gas.

Environmental laws in CA (AB32 and SB375) that went into force in 2012 and ramp up till 2020 greatly favor ET3 implementation.

Will the oil companies resist ETT?

ETT system construction will require large amounts of plastics. If demand for transportation fuel is reduced, oil companies could modify existing refineries to manufacture plastics at much lower cost, while maintaining profits. Low cost plastic building products will replace the use of wood in building construction. Oil companies realize that oil reserves are limited. When ETT becomes the transportation system of choice, valuable oil resources can be used and recycled for many years instead of being converted into smog by cars. This will have a very beneficial effect on the environment. Oil companies will be seen as protectors of the forests, instead of contributors to pollution. It will also extend the amount of time oil companies may profit from known oil reserves.

 

i don't know about that last one lol. i could see some resistance from manufacturers.

Also billy now that I think of it, you should appreciate that it won't let you play Dark Souls.

 

Think again, it's Dark Souls. I'm sure I'm not the only one when I almost broke my table and hand while raging because of it.

[Thor.]

Dark Souls is to dark for me.

[brokenergy]

No it isn't, it's just bad controls for PC.

[Iv000]

I'm pretty sure everybody uses a controller with it anyway.

 

I do at least, impossible to play otherwise.

[billyro]

Yes, I'm getting a gamepad tomorrow for my 18th so I shall play it properly then.

 

Also I managed to fix all of the problems after I went and vented my frustration for a while. Now it runs at the 30fps as intended and I got Windows Live working. I had to create a new email for it though. :dry:

 

But I am happy now and that's what matters. :)
