Amazon rep says they are hacked?

I tried ordering an Echo for a friend of mine. I haven't bought from Amazon in years, but decided to buy an Echo for a friend of mine in Miami Beach. So I went through the process, and ticked the 'this is a gift', but never saw an option to insert a destination address (other than mine). So I...

Clean install - Win 7 upgrade to 10?

Was wondering about that, but checked and it's 64 bit; good to know though. Thanks for all your help; the clincher was confirming there was a key. If you are ever in South Beach I'll have my buddy buy you a few. Or if in a Cleveland I won't throw a snowball at you. :D

Clean install - Win 7 upgrade to 10?

Arggghh, I'm a dumbass. I have all my discs in a leather case, and after some searching.... there is the 32bit disc with the activation key paper. Installed from the other, which only had the cert of authenticity with it. Sorry, and thanks. In my defense, I've spent the last 9 days in Miami...

Clean install - Win 7 upgrade to 10?

There isn't any key for the Windows 7 upgrade disc... it used the XP key to activate it (or whatever you upgraded from), but that doesn't seem to work anymore.

Clean install - Win 7 upgrade to 10?

The problem is, that when I try to upgrade to 10, the upgrade fails because Win 7 isn't activated. That's where I'm stuck.

Clean install - Win 7 upgrade to 10?

I last installed Win 7 when I put together my PC in 2011 (2600K system), and am having issues trying to do a clean install from Win 7 to 10, using the Win 7 upgrade disc. I remember installing 7 off of the 7 upgrade disc and later activating with my XP key (instead of actually installing XP...

Xcom 2

45 mins, I'll be playing. Why I'm posting here; anything to tick forward the doomsday clock.

What first world problem did you have today?

I'd say you are jealous and not irritated, unless you are mad you didn't think to do that yourself. My first world problem was caring about pretentious people's gripes today.

Bronson - Tom Hardy 9/10 My cousin didn't even know who he was, but every time I've seen Tom Hardy in a movie, I've been impressed, and this one is out of the park. He plays a schizo criminal, sold as the 'based on a true story' of the most expensive prisoner in England, and marketed as the...

Metallica streaming live concert Free Feb 6th at 8:30pm

That's gotta be phising attempt. Metallica giving away something for free.. please. Or maybe their stance has bitten them in the ass and they need money for hair (or not) supplies. (I do love some old Metallica, just not anyone in Metallic to clarify)

ISIS beheadings kinda ruin militaristic sci-fi and fantasy

No. The reason you read and enjoy science fiction and fantasy is because they are not related to real life. George RR Hack bases his tripe off of soap operas, George (coincidence?) Lucas bases his films off literature, and so on... in my library it's listed as B&T; in other words NOT true...

Age of Adaline 7/10 It's a romantic flick with a touch of science fiction, with Dumas narrating; far better than any other romantic flick your significant other will MAKE you watch, so 7/10. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl 8./10 Take the overhyped Fault in our Stars and spend millions less...

Path of Exile 2.0 - Discussion

It's only 5 chaos orbs no? Or am I mistaken on that icon? That's like an hour of playtime to acquire. I gave away 27 exalts, and hundreds of chaos/gcp/etc when I quit a while ago; which means nothing because the next time I'll play it will be in a league with a fresh economy.

Battlefield 1 released!

BF2 wasn't slower at all, unless you wanted it to be and spawned way back hoping to find a tank or plane and then had to hoof it to the action. But, otherwise I'm the same; DICE lost me as a fan when BF3 came out. I tried to like BF3, and then spent hours camping corners where people leveled...

Blogs/etc of people that got free?

Went to AAA tonight to work out my membership for the next year. I'm leaving here within the next three months, and won't have an address until I find a new place to live. I'm going down to Miami to visit a friend, after hitting every national park I can on the way down (and dispersed camping...
