    Where I live (I have Comcrap), you CAN"T lease a Modem, they infact told me that when I called them early this year, you had to go buy a modem, they gave me a list of stores where I could buy one. I do agree their service is crap, I have had 3 cable internet companies since 2000. Comcrap only being the latest... The last time I called them I asked about my bill, they downright LIED to me over the Phone, I would switch if I could but I would have to go back to dialup, since their are NO other who service where I live, across the street, they have 3 DSLs but ONE one on my side of the street.

  5. Re:Shared screen; no driver troubleshooting on The Install Size of Every PS4 and Xbox One Game · · Score: 1

    I don't about you but I have my computer hooked up to my 40 inch widescreen TV, and it works great. The TV has HDMI and VGA inputs, and the video card VGA and HDMI outputs. The TV and computer cost under $1000. What don't you like 360 controllers? I got a 360 controller from a friend for FREE after he replace his second 360, he had 3 over the year, I believe. I also have two wired USB controllers also but I tend not to use them,

    Last big push to go Metric was in the 70s in the USA, I remember learning about it in 4 grade, back then. So I have no problem using metric, when I have too. Maybe it time to convert for REAL this time, but I guessing it won't happen until the Dinosaurs die off, opps I mean Republicans.

    Some of the ET ones are going for $600+ range, if you call the cheap, thats up to you.

BTW I have been playing and buying videos games since the 70s.

  13. Re:Antecdotes != Evidence on Will Windows 10 Finally Address OS Decay? · · Score: 1

    How old of an OS are you running? Since my friend who LOVES Macs, hated it when he upgraded the OS, the last time, it went from usable to a snail. He still used the Mac but downgraded the OS to the old version, he now uses a Win8.1 PC to play his games on, it runs a lot faster. And it only a few months newer than the Mac. I believe it the same CPU and similar video card. I had to fix his PC a few months back, his video card died, that's the only reason I know they both have the same CPU, and similar video cards, I told he should upgrade the video card, but he was a cheap skate.
