It's either something broken on the inside of your console or more likely corrosion on some of the cartridge slot contacts. Try taking a cartridge you don't care much about and repeatedly insert and remove it from the console upwards of 15x. This might scrape enough corrosion off to make it work and if not you're left with opening the sucker up.

Sounds like something died on the inside. It would be pretty impossible, I would say, that all of your games. If you can open the system up, I hope you aren't dealing with mobo burns or broken pieces that can't be replaced. It sounds like the cartridge reader (don't know the official term for it) might be dead or needs a serious cleaning. If that is the case, no harm in cleaning it to see if it works. I heard metal polish is the best as it won't damage the contacts with its usage, or rubbing alcohol (just a tiny, tiny bit!). I tried both methods and I have to tell you that the metal polish turned my contacts from gold to shiny silver and the games worked straight away. Haven't had a problem since, and I cleaned them like four years ago. :lol: before that I used rubbing alcohol but one of the eight that I did that with finally pooped out, so there's that.

Steel Series Rival is great for long fingered people.

Damn, that's sexy efu. Although I kinda excluded Porsche, Audi etc. in my head because they're hella expensive and not in the price bracket she's looking at.

Just reinstall your OS
win8/8.1 has a reset/refresh feature, you could use that instead

if win8/8.1 is already installed then you don't need anything extra, I forget where the option is located exactly, I usually just search for the word reset

Did you shake your fist at it yet?
Call it stoopid?
Sometimes peer pressure works, too.

timemachine got a reaction from d3sl91 in New Job salary Advice
Today they sent me an offer which is pretty good. But since the new company doesn't cover insurance I negotiated a little and they agreed to give me another offer that almost covers the entire thing. i couldn't be happier!

I ended up putting down the RAW with OT. I will ask for more once they make me an offer to factor in my health insurance.

I guess in MF there is less risk, but you lose some of the fun of stocks would you not? Especially if someone else is handling the money?

Heres the other deal, and another reason why you should include, if you're in the US:
http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2015/01/13/376783972/tax-time-gets-new-ritual-proof-of-health-insurance
Most need to provide proof of insurance for taxes now. Just deciding "I dont want health insurance" isn't as easy of an option anymore. Because nothing says "we want everyone to have healthcare" like forcing you to pay for insurance or risk being penalized. Thanks Gov....
So, its really no longer a luxury, it's closer to a "necessary living expense".

timemachine reacted to SubTract in X1400 AMD graphic card and Ubuntu
Can you try another Source game.
Source games use a D3D to OpenGL transition layer that means OpenGL requires a certain set of extensions that older cards don't support.
It seems that cards prior to HD series AMD and 8000 series nVidia do not support said extensions.
There is a whole thread here (steamforums) that are having the problem with TF2. there are mentions in other pages of comment to many different source games and graphics cards having the same issue.
Windows supports direct X so the cards will run it natively without a transition layer on windows.

timemachine got a reaction from Bio Mujahid in Subaru WRX STI
I am no fan boy of bmw nor STi therefore I am not biased. Both cars do well in their own aspects and one does better than the other in its own ways (thus the different classes) I am purely comparing Pulls . I have been in cars that blow both of these cars away but that's not the point.

timemachine reacted to Bio Mujahid in Subaru WRX STI
I am a BMW fan but i can use logic where the other dude obviously can't, I've driven cars many times faster than my bimmer also. The 335i is far from being the fastest car , but saying the STI is faster is blasphemy !!!!! (not saying you said that btw)
