I know because I did it myself, and was soooo confused for a while

[Putnam]

wait wait WAIT

imma do the obvious thing

and turn off my computer

and unplug my DVI cable

and plug it into the other slot

didn't work

i mean it fixed the blue dots but having a graphics driver still makes no display show up at all

You didn't plug it directly into the motherboard or something?

...

Anyway, I've had basically no energy today and yesterday. No idea why, I'm just randomly unable to walk to the kitchen without contemplating the upsides of going to sleep in the middle of the hallway.

[Neonivek]

HOLY COW!!!

I just slept 24 hours O_O

No wait it is 7 pm

WHY is there a CAP on the LENGTH of a SECURITY MEASURE.  Ugh.

my motherboard has no direct video connection, as I discovered in that process (I was planning on actually doing that, but I was stymied by... uh, that)

another WTF for y'all

[SOLDIER First]

Fallout 3 has aparently decided to crash upon me attempting to leave the Jefferson Memorial. Fast traveling anywhere or manually walking both don't work. And, thanks to me compulsively deleting extra saves to prevent save file deletion, I don't have anything beforehand to reload.
Someone better tell me this isn't permanent...

And, thanks to me compulsively deleting extra saves to prevent save file deletion, I don't have anything beforehand to reload.

oh my god why would you do that with a bethesda game

[SOLDIER First]

to prevent save file deletion,

I had a... a bad time with New Vegas and having a ton of quick/auto/manual saves.
[Edit] Alright, it seems that dying (thanks for letting me shoot your face, Fawkes) lets me fast travel, but now I still get crashes from traveling to Rivet City. Apparently that's a separate bug from Broken Steel... Sigh.

[Putnam]

oh, shit, that one, yeah, I've gotten it, I can't really give advice except

...wait one in-game week

yeah that works IIRC

Also: my favorite joke I've made publicly:

"I made this program because I got frustrated with Dwarf Fortress modding requiring a good understanding of the behaviors of isotropic materials under stress."

it's not a joke, it's a fact, but the WTF factor makes it funny anyway and that's why i like it

[SOLDIER First]

No dice.
I waited exactly a week, plus an hour just in case, and (after some trading because my needs mod told me I was probably dying of hunger and thirst) I still CTD'd.

Ryzom's password security is worse. It's limited to at most 8 characters, and only alphanumeric characters, meaning no !s, _s, or $s.

pearsonmylab stores username and password in plaintext and sends you them that way whenever you ask

[SOLDIER First]

Apparently, Broken Steel is conspiring with FO3 to prevent me from finishing the Survival Guide with Moira. ;-;

Probably some limitation on whatever method they're using to hash them. That or they want to avoid user stupidity.
