[quote who="LordCobol" reply="6" id="3633750"] Sorry for the thread-o-mancy, but... ... I'm one of the original WoM beta testers, so entitled to free upgrades to FE & Fe:LH, but I passed on FE:LH because of Steam. Recently found out it is available on GOG, so I plan to buy it there and kiss of my free steam key for it. Just want Stardock to know that their Steam deal is not universally popular. [/quote] agree re steam.

Post fine by me. And my preference is win 7 on my PC. Hope it doesn't die. If/when I am forced to win10, I will, hopefuly have a suite of addons/adjustments that take out the call home, spy-ware sleeze-ware built into it. If not possible, than, I guess I will have to, for the first time since I left the old Apple//+ OS seriousy consider a totally different OS - a non- MS based OS. Not looking forward to that day.

Thank you all for really helpful advice and info to help me cut thru all the 'noise' and get to solid info. :) A friend visiting from Germany has the Battlestar Galactica complete series (the more recent one with olmos, etc, not the ponderosa in space older version) on dvd. Won't play on my dvd player, nor my PC. Went www to find solution. I get all this jive about regions (USA = #1, Europe = #2... china = #6) ) and data about region r

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="2869" id="3630931"] No offense, but I don't buy your premise or comparison, Elana. And I promise not to push for a law making you a criminal for having an opinion different than mine. [/quote] My point is that, given how politicized the current environment is, I feel it behooves us to chose illustrations that are not seen as favoring one party over another. You chose an illustration that hits the Dems. My po

I've never played Ashes. But from the vids I have seen, and the forum discussions I have read, its clear the GameSpot reviewer was reviewing something other than Ashes of the Singularity.

May their memories be a blessing to us all today.

Responsibility is shared between parents, product manufacturers, advertisers, stockholders. We're all connected. We live in a pervasive web of sometimes perverse and cleverly disguised persuaders' messages. Lightstar rightly points out one example of a set of parents that somehow slipped through the Darwin Awards selection process. (sad) Doc points out some basic, common sense practices that everyone should be taught in our educational system. (Its easier

Dear Trudy, I feel sorrow at hearing of your recent losses. I don't know your hurt. But I do know what hurting feels like. Deep hurting bites the big one. May I gently suggest that you embrace your sorrow and hurt. But embrace it mixed with the fondest and happinest memories you have of them.

[quote who="starkers" reply="25" id="3631720"] ... ... I installed a 3rd party program to disable Windows Update, yet here I am, getting updates via 'Maintenance'. Now I don't know how true this is, but I was speaking with someone the other day who told me that he shut down his Win 7 PC overnight and woke up to Win 10. Quoting Cameochi, <a href="/476931/ge

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="11" id="3631432"] Disable updating until you read what each update does, and that there are no problems, then choose which updates you want, based on that, Elana. You DO want critical updates, though. [/quote] agreed. And I do do the critical updates. PC is set to require me to permit each update. :)

[quote who="Uvah" reply="193" id="3631526"] I don't like beans and it ain't because they're musical fruit. But seriously...five years ago I was homeless, hanging out at a dayroom and seeing different types of mental illness in various clients that came there. I won't go into what I experienced but its no joke. It can be debilitating and you can't help but feel for them. [/quote] ^ agree stongly

[quote who="Uvah" reply="183" id="3631050"] Think about those who attended his university, a 'failed' educational institution. I think more along the lines of a sociopath. I don't remember my score but it wasn't too bad. At least I don't cook my cats. That should count for something. [/quote] sociopath? like Sherlock (TV) affirming, "I'm NOT a psychopath, I'm a high functioning sociopath." You r in excellent company

[quote who="starkers" reply="19" id="3630844"] Quoting ElanaAhova, reply 18 Like Thomas Jefferson wrote: "Central banks are more dangerious than standing armies." you can bank on that! Yup, we have 4 major banks here in Oz, plus several smaller banks, not that some of those are any better.&nbs
