[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="Cameochi" reply="7" id="3631392"] Quoting ElanaAhova, reply 4 I wonder how many users, when told, as you were, by the MS 'people' that you had to buy a new win 10 license actually do. I hope NO ONE pays for new license but some people are probably gullible enough to believe they

[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 who="starkers" reply="180" id="3630836"] I used to be a psychopath, but since I got a new pair of tweezers for pulling the wings of flies I'm all better now. Why I even stopped scaring people just to see them have an accident in their pants/underwear.... and laughing out loud when somebody at the station gets pushed onto the tracks as the train approaches. Yup, I'm a changed man. Now instead of actually doing it, I only threaten to throw bankers and

I've searched these forums, on line, and majorgeeks. Lost. Suggestions for safe, simple software to convert XWM sound / music files to MP3s. Nothing fancy, don't need to do massive numbers, just a few. Went to one site and my browser add on said it was dangerous/phishing, even though web of truth green-lighted it. I'm really shy about sites i don't know. Safe suggestions stardockians? :)

Score 22%. Quiz, 5/7 correct. I read an article in a business magazine a few months back. Title something like"What Psychopaths can teach us about success in business." What caught my eye was the statement that its the traits many successful entrepreneurs share with psychopaths that lead to 'success.'

[quote who="starkers" reply="14" id="3630658"] Now if only we could electronically replace greedy bankers.... ALL bankers. And real estate agents Car salesmen and advertising executives. Oh wait!

[quote who="Auramagma" reply="57" id="3628850"] Elana, how did you install this mod? For me (perhaps because I have another tile graphics update mod still running) some of the tiles are not updated, I.e river beds and waves in the ocean. .. [/quote] Auramagma, I'v been lost in Fallout4 the past month and havn't fired up FE:EH in a while. I will go look at my install folders and see what I did to change the tiles. I don't recall, but will check.

Only suggestion I have is: left click on the name of the game -> dropdown box, choose "properities" (proprites?) -> local files -> verify integrity of game cache Bonne chance!

re: post #20 True story - c30 years ago: The Library of Congress had a sub to playboy. Purists demanded the library cancel its subscription. The LOC complied - canceled sub to Playboy. Irony: the version of Playboy in question was the brail edition. This means the readers were actually reading Playboy for the articles. :) (Quiet Norm!)
