[quote who="Stuie_" reply="17" id="3462887"] Quoting linux21st, reply 15 I joined TotalGamingNetwork/StardockCentral to buy GalCivII and subsequently other games. Then Stardock sold Impulse to Gamestop and it went down hill all the way. Worst of all, as of today, I can't login to my account using the GameStop App, the so call redemption link at http://impulsestore.gamestop.com/redemption/Redeem.aspx gave a connection timeout and I have zero access to all my ga

you know how it goes. changing os means updating/rewriting the ancient programs that they've been using in xp and retraining people. most companies/organisations/entities think they are saving money by delaying that. if they can stick with something for 20 years as opposed to every 5 or whatever, you bet they'll do it. i can think of a very simple reason why ms offers support (at a price) to them and not individuals. those big entities will move off xp as part of some pr

not a laptop person, never got used to using touchpad. currently using an oldish perfomance mx (batteries require charging very frequently..... but at least i just need to plug the wire in, instead of sticking the mouse on top of a charger like the revolution mx) and the solar k750. (must be a winter thing.... gets laggy some times as if it's run out of juice or someone else receiving my keystroke XD) the thing i hate most about wireless peripherals. 1 receiver per item (u

the weird thing is how some sites are saying ms is giving away this to win 7 users for free. why on earth would someone with whichever win 7 edition (aside from the most basic featureless one.. whatever it's called) want to upgrade to a win 8/8.1 starter (aka crippled) edition with ads flying all over the place? now, if they are saying a cheap/free upgrade from 7->8 equivalent (ultimate->ultimate) they might get somewhere...

integrated cam on laptops/netbooks, etc... would pose more of a problem.. haven't you heard of all those school owned equipment or rented stuff have phone home systems that take snap shots to see "if the person isn't doing some nefarious things with the equipment"? if it's a separate cam.. just unplug it when not in use. until you discover your monitor is actually a giant camera.... them sneaky sods..

just use the usual "forgot password" stuff... (there's some secret question or something i think) to get steam to reset it and allow you to pick a new one unless you are talking about something different altogether... i'm assuming you are talking about your steam account pw... no idea about steamos..

didn't you hear about the one where british telecomn (biggest isp in uk) used to use yahoo as their mail service (beats me why) .. and had a spate of account hijacked to spew spam (last year).... don't think they ever came clean as to why or how it happened.

it would have been nice if the custom settings has some ui bits to go with it other than telling you to go edit a .txt .... not that my machine even meet the min req XD (core 2 duo + 7770) got a grey screen out of it and a hugely lagged mouse cursor. a look at (mid) settings suggest it was using 1920*x1080 or even 2560*? when my desktop resolution is set at 1280*800... did a hard reset and after that, the launcher doesn't even show the menu.. just a greyed out app window..
