Where is everyone? My 'theory.' The biological imperative that catapults a species to dominance on a planet tends to prioritize short term 'rewards' over long term concerns.

Like Bo's sidekick said to the uber-druid tree lady (lost Girl series - paraphrase): We're humans - we drive SUVs, and we'll happily fry the planet if it means one last cheeseburger. " The very same forces that make us (in groups) the ul

best new rig specs in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I have about 1,000 - 1,500$ US available for a new gaming desktop PC. Prefer Nvidia. Want to run Witcher 3 with higher end graphics, heavily modded Skyrim (oldrim). Not sure I can really upgrade my current PC (i3, sabertooth, gtx 670 ftw). Would like to stay with win 7 (as 10 will probably soon be a monthly subscription revenue stream for MSoft). What would you do with this? Future upgrade paths considered. Appreciate community wisdom...

My PC, which was off line for about a month (problem with video feed, now fixed) now reports that my windows 7 is not authentic. A pop up appeared when I booted saying that there is an issue with my windows. (I ignored because many scammers send fake messages to philsh one.
