  1. Thats probably how it got started. I'm sure up in the remote areas of China all kinds of shit goes on among its inhabitants. We've got plenty of our own strange home grown inhabitants in the good ol so-called 'first world' United States. One can only imagine what its like in a suppressed communist country of a billion+ people. And no pornhub to wank off to. And please get well soon.
  2. Just asking for opinions on good games to check that do not require DX12, as I dont plan getting Windows 10 just yet. It would basically require building a new system to meet its new hardware security requirements. They dont require a MP element and I have pretty must lost a lot of interest in the typical military FPS shooter. WoW is fun but it is certainly all about grinding and things like forming parties that require showing up at specific times for things like dungeon raids that I am hard pressed to do. And I havent really gotten into the more advanced stuff like making things from basic ingredients. Food, healing items, weapons etc. edit: Oh and if there is a MP element, preferably something not saturated with cheaters.
  3. Keep an eye on that big truck. Thieves going around siphoning off gas. Looks like it happened to a big SUV here last night.
  4. Runs fine on 64 bit machine... except Macs.
  5. You might be thinking of a lesser known home computer system called the MSX, primarily made for the Japanese market, which had a very small release in the US. It is generally held that the name is for "MicroSoft Xtended" BASIC as it was the main developer with its goal of becoming the standard home computer architecture. A good number of Japanese companies licensed it to manufacture their own systems. The idea also was to make them all compatible with each other. Like PC's. Activision did make a Pitfall port for it. The Atari VCS (later the 2600) was an American made console. First released in the late 70's in the US and later in Japan in the early 80's. Good times though... until that ET game abomination came around... and in any case, welcome.
  6. I am sure this is the case. And when it happens in nature Darwin comes into play. Then a species comes along that has the ability to overcome it. So long as the species does not base that ability on a purposely built house of cards. Lets hope they overcome the problem quickly and also build back up supplies to deal with the hoarders that dont actually have a medical need for something.
  7. Modern mass media operates under the principle of giving the people what they want. And they do it quite well. If the people changed and wanted something more worthwhile then the media would oblige. But the people wont.
  8. If people didnt hoard or steal, out of greed or fear, then there would be less of a supply problem. When someone gets sent to the store to pick of a case of baby food... not a container or two but a case of containers... it just compounds any issues. But its convenient to blame others instead of looking at ones self.
  9. Buried in all the usual daily news bullshit, stuff like this gets missed.
  10. Perhaps hoarders buying up the stock? Also scalpers? Saw the same thing every day with TP. Overly large populations have a tendency to create the very thing the rumor mill says is happening.
  11. Thats an xmodel count error. There are two others, materials and images, that also will fail due to asset counts in the standard game.
  12. Do you recall what the texture errors were?
  13. Ranks are kept if your player profiles for the servers. If you still have the old ones, copy them back.
  14. Gives advantages in terms of expanded asset counts for several important things, increasing map compatibility greatly even for big mods. Dont know anything about additional sound formats since that would require compiling in decoders and such. Some of which would have licensing problems. Activision got rid of mp3 decoders, which cost them a lot of money, because of that reason and went with open source. And of course greater anti-cheat protection. In any case, the main reason for the update was the loss of their domain extension and change to ovh. Requiring both cod4x servers and all clients that use it to update. The older clients still look for the update servers with the old domain extension.
  15. When I saw that clip I said 'wait..what?' And... had to rewind it. Yes poor cows. Never hurt nobody.
  16. On the other hand.....
  17. Using such reasoning, I cant see being Canadian as particularly noteworthy. Its not as though she is the first Canadian on the show.
  18. Simply because it is unusual compared to the typical vanilla Jeopardy contestant. No more no less. Now if they threw in something like 'Martian' instead of lesbian, that would be news. Or I suppose a Martian lesbian. Though that sounds like a soft core B-flick. Attack of the Martian Lesbians.
  19. Had all information, including the emails themselves archived. And said so multiple times. Actually sent them a couple of invoices. Tried and tried to work with them but all I kept getting was the runaround with different CSR's each time. All seemingly following the same script and giving me the same 'solution' when I kept telling them that their solution wouldnt work in my case. Either they could not understand English, did nothing but skim read, or maybe simply had no solution because it would require them taking responsibility for their actions. Normally, I would say it was my fault for not having backup methods of doing anything. However the main problem is that they themselves cancelled/deactivated my account with no action taken by me. No prior notification that it would happen by such and such date. Nor any notification that it in fact was deactivated. They also claimed that they cannot actually do that and would not budge on that. They also refused to bump it up to some kind of problem resolution person. So I gave up. Sent them a harsh last response and to send it to whatever complaint department they had, if any (probably not). And also that I now consider everything that required Origin to even start up as lost and unrecoverable due to fraud on their part and will report them. Not that anything would ever come of it. Truly, dealing with their lack of responsibility for their actions is no longer worth my time or money so away EA goes and life... and gaming... goes on.
  20. Im now 54 thank you very much. Why it says 14, hehe I dunno and will have to check that out. Thank you.
  21. If anyone wants to check it out, the current 1.47 test, tdm and cod4x, is up and running. Big download as far as cod4 is concerned at 250mb or so. But thats pretty small these days with 4GB updates every month for one game. Might need to type /reconnect in the console if the redirect falls back. Like having to restart slow downloads of modern games in Battlenet. I think when that happens its an NFO problem with big downloads. It is running cod4x because I needed to include two new models and their materials. While compatibility is already good those extra two pushed quite a few popular maps just a hair too far. And I really dont want to spend a lot of time with the usual methods to put those two models into existing custom multi-model setups. My goal is to get it finished and distributed. 74.91.124.166:28960
  22. Just another nasty Hollywood divorce between two well connected actors. One of whom is a much bigger star than the other. The problem is both also have extensively publicized information that neither of them are particularly nice people.
  23. How can I be correct when that is not what I said? Same ol same ol. Take what someone says and spin it into the exact opposite. Ah well.
