[quote quoting="post"] ... So why do I (almost) automatically think data mining (and NSA)? I should mention that the same comes to mind when visiting the grocery store. Guess I’m just a cranky, old guy. ... [/quote] Old? Haven't a clue. Cranky? You are a true peace maker, in my experience on these boards. (remember?) I do. Data mining?

edit 9 March 2015 FYI -Rohin placed info about mod for Bloodline: Bloodlines Antitribu . I don't know anything about mod. Yet. I purchased downloaded Vampire bloodlines from Steam. The game runs fine, except that the edges (top/bottom/sides) are off the screen. I have used the Nvidia control panel to move and center the display so that there are black ed

Sounds like a good way to go. i did, 2 years ago, 'save' a cell phone after swimming with it (accidentally) via the open it, disconnect sim/bat wipe out and fan for 2 days. It worked. (Lucky, am I?) About the residue, it may be the minerals / chemicals in the municipal water. I note that when I boil a lot of water, i get a residue on the sides of the pot - same for cell?

[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="25" id="3451533"] As a person who has been diagnosed with depression and took medication for a few years, I will share my notes on depression. - I personally believe that it's a result of a deeply unsatisfactory life our industrial and post-industrial society forces upon us. I mean, we are designed to run through forest, pick berries and hunt animals, to mate and experience both thrill and fear to which physical resp

Awesome, starkers, just awesome. By the way, the sata cables ad an artistic flair to the entire composition! Don't cut yourself short. Great job, great look, great performance, great bro. What else could a sister want?

I cannot speak to anything but your CPU / OS... excellent choices. I run an i7 with win7 home premium, and I have no problem running skyrim with max graphics settings and mods.

I have never played starcraft. But the experiences you shared in your opening post sound a lot like playing an expanded version of rock-paper-scissors-steroids. Agree, play with friends.

I agree with what Steve M wrote. No matter what faction I play, I start my sov as a Mage. When some heroes come along, I choose one as a side kick. This one chooses skills that increase the effectiveness of the army. This becomes core force. Magic is just too powerful not to maximize.

[quote who="starkers" reply="19" id="3450762"] Quoting ElanaAhova, reply 16Its not just individual offices. Its also the group mentality, the 'us' and 'them' attitude that forms. It doesn't help that anyone who expresses interest in the US bill of Rights is labeled a 'terrorist.' Seriously, that's one of the red flags!

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="6" id="3450713"] Hell, it isn't even called software any more. The name has been dumbed down to "Apps" I can remember when phones were dumb and the caller was supposed to be smarter ....and if you had a tablet, you probably had a pen and pencil as well and knew how to read and write (correct spelling was a nice bonus) Ironic, as the devices I use have more and more function and memory, I have less and less.
