I browse TGO from a few devices but I've noticed that my laptop at the house seems to sign me out randomly. If i log in, I can shut down Chrome, relaunch and still remain logged in but after a bit i'll suddenly need to sign in again.   I log into Chrome, so my settings are copied across all platforms. I also allow cookies. It's likely just this laptop but figured I would ask if anyone else is experiencing this same issue or if there was a "quick answer".   More of a nuisance than a problem

Since the POW/MIA flag is warmongering. I suppose that we also need to get rid of the US flag. Those stars have changed a time or two via war.   By that regard I know that LGBT has been "fighting" for their rights as well. Since fighting isn't allowed and I'm offended by racist anti-hetero activists, we should get rid of that too.   While we're on the topic, triangles represent pyramids and pyramids mean slave labor. So no more golf flags.   They're also making a movie adaptation of The Dark Tower, which features Randall Flagg... so it's gotta go.   Even the military agrees that flagging is bad! :D

  wha? who? What am I missing?   Oh, King, nvm.

Dude if it's the first book it's going to be boring as hell. The first 20 minutes will be great as Roland dispatches some justice.....then nothing followed by some slow mutants.   I'm nervous that the movies will be ludicrous.   Tick Tock Man, Andy the robot, Oy, Mord? bleh.....   plus if movie 4 is Wizard and Glass... i'll never watch it. That was the slowest book i've ever read in my life.   ***edit*** I would also like to add that in my head, the Crimson King is not some old man who hoots and hollers.

I'm not sold on Trump. I really appreciate his verbal incontinence and I believe he would probably run the business aspects the country very well. But there's more too it than that.   Plus, I think he's a closet liberal when he falls out of peoples good graces.

I wonder if that man is as oppressed as much as he thinks he is... or if the media just tells him that.   If he wants to destroy the racists, he should start by putting a pistol in his own mouth and depressing the bang switch.

  You bought it? Please tell me it's on laser disc :D   I'll save you the hassle, here's the best part. (oh and RIP Rod, you'll be missed)   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9rrgJXfLns

  I have a macbook pro but I don't really use it. Not that it's bad or does anything wrong but honestly I don't get overly excited about any OS.. they all do some things really well and they all suck equally in something else.   I've used PC longer.. so it's just a familiar experience.

  "All of our tests were performed at 1280x720 resolution at Microsoft's recommendation."   UNCIVILIZED HEATHENS!   That's a pretty detailed read and it's something to look forward too. The last few paragraphs sum it up in a different tone however. "The reality is this test is a theoretical test, although one made with advice from Microsoft and the GPU vendors. This test reveals the potential, but translating that potential into an actual game isn't quite as easy. " But, at least this means the doors could be opened up for future development.

Ignorance talking here, but thinning that barrel won't cause it to wear faster or deform due to heat and pressure?

  Can you define graphic performance increases? As in quality or framerate? Is that using integrated graphics or with an expansion card?

  My boss is jazzed about it. In fact he had our desktop guys building surfaces today running 10 for distribution. I had to throw the brakes on.    On day 2.....

My elementary school used to have this giant rectangle trampoline that you could fit at least 30 kids on. At least once every 10 minutes you'd have some kid fly off and hit the gym floor with a resounding thud. They just got back up and went for more.

Anyone attempted deploying it on their domain? I've run into all kinds of issues with software compatibility and GPO applying. I can't even get a script to install Office365 to work. Plus we use Trend Micro Officescan... Trend hasn't even gotten their compatibility testing out of QA. LOL

The ladies got away with some $3,300    Fraud you say? I think they should get a medal!

  Is nothing sacred to you man!

  Yeah the ISO works. Since our network admin tested it, I went with the updates route to see how much different it would be. That way we have something to pass on to the desktop guys since they haven't really tested it.

  Have you installed all of your windows updates?   Microsoft has stated they are doing it in waves, so it's possible you may get it soon. You have a year to upgrade so if you don't get it on day 1 I wouldn't worry.

  You just gotta own it man. If you look natural, nobody will question it :D   "Look at that dude with the shotgun! He's legit!"

  I pay homage to your fortitude and weak bladder.

  You guys are on a workgroup instead of a domain?   Run Windows updates a few times, that should trigger it if you're up to date.

Update:   The patching just finished and NOW Windows update has prompted me to install 10. So another 2.7GB download. Looks like i'm finishing this tomorrow!

I've been running the insider preview on my Surface Pro for quite awhile. I only use it for meetings etc, and apparently those of us who signed up for it got a free upgrade to the full version of 10.   So far, I haven't found that to be the case. Win 10, despite being on a Microsoft phablet (I hate that word but it works) didn't integrate as well as I thought it should have. The pen didn't work half the time. The right side menu someones wouldn't open, etc, etc. The surface is a tertiary system for me, so I didn't pay it much mind... it's a beta test anyways. Bugs should be expected!   The first lesson is that you will not get a prompt to upgrade to 10 if you're on a domain. Not even your sys admin (that's me) can send you that update. Second lesson was that no matter what I did, even unjoining it from the domain, would allow me to pickup the full version.   No sweat there, I used the backup utility to make a copy of my Win 8.1 image before I installed. Lesson 3, when I tried to restore from that image, it blue screened. So now the OS is corrupt. Since our office uses OEM licensing.. I can't just install 10 on its own. So I use the advanced restore options and told it to reinstall completely. Oddly enough, when it's done... i'm back on 8.1. Didn't expect that, but alright.   It prompts me "you can now upgrade to windows 10!" So I say yes. It drops me to the desktop and begins running windows update. an hour later (on a 100meg pipe) it downloads and installs with an immediate failure. 3 more attempts and each one fails. So I have to blow away the software distribution folder in the windows directory and start that miserable download over again. This time I have 121 updates totaling around 5gb that start to install. That was at 2:25, it's now 4:27 and I'm on 117 of 121.   I had already planned to wait awhile to do it at home.. but this reaffirms that decision.   But hey, it's day 1 of release.   TL;DR - My Surface Pro spoloded

    BFE is the best place to shoot.
