ok, so my old laptop wouldn't stop downloading and installing win 8.1 and it corrupts my system and renders the lapper useless. after trying for countless hours to make it stop this and spending somewhere around 35 hours online with microsoft tech's, i finally gave up and purchased a new one. (microsoft refused to replace the orginal laptop) now i have a year-&-a-half old, $600.00 paperweight. it runs win 8 and the techs keep telling me that it is not supposed to install 8.1 on it's own, but every time i revert back to 8, it takes about 4 days for it to install 8.1 again... Format the thing from a cold boot. Never install Win 8 on it again. Got a copy of Win 7 or anything else? Use that as the O/S. well my problem with that is, i purchased a computer that came with a legal copy of windows, because of this 'apparently' forced upgrade, it no longer functions...but i shouldn't have to resort to an illegal o/s to be able to use it. I didn't say illegal. You can format and put any licensed version of any O/S on it that you have. eta: any brand that is IBM based, not Mac or Apple. Just download the drivers for whatever brand of laptop it is after. If you can find the folder where they are now, save them before the format. Just because hardware is a brand doesn't mean you have to use the O/S that came with it. Seems that the version it came with is the problem from what little you say. It will only happen again if you can not control the UPDATE settings for Win 8....if you put the same restore disc back in. Therefore, use another O/S. well i was hoping i didn't have to put more money into this, as purchasing an additional computer has already cost me more than the original expense. (sinse i don't happen to have a box of o/s's laying around. haha) |

But ACA is a simple Powergrab and Wealth-Distribution System,on a Scale never before attempted! correction: it was not only attempted but implemented during the last two administrations. the problem with the aca is that it was not taken far enough, as you suggest. but because there is so much money to made from people's suffering, we here, will never see as system that is based on actual health "care". |

If the 2014 election cycle was any proof of things to come, we wont see a Democrat in office for at least 8 years. We have three great candidates that I support so far. Governor Perry, Governor Bush and Donald Trump are my three choices. when will you name the "great" candidates? |
