  • how do i turn off noise cancelation on windows 8?

    I'm trying to play Pandora using my computer speakers and my phone since I don't have internet otherwise. I have my phone hooked up through the microphone but I can tell the microphone sound cancelation is enabled because when my songs have a very noisy rif the song starts making a whiny noise. So how do I disable the noise cancelation on the computer so I can get the songs to play without this irritating noise. I know its possible with windows 7 and its not a Pandora setting because I can do this with my laptop but windows 8 doesn't have it in the microphone settings I have checked for about an hour and cannot find it.

  • skyrim steam install read description?

    Okay today I dropped $60 on the elder scrolls saga collection that has every game from arena to skyrim. I started to install skyrim first because that's the one I'm wanting to install first and when I go to install it after steam gets done doing all its bs it says installing from disk but it says 45 minutes and it keeps climbing. Now I have a mobile hotspot as my internet and it only has a 5 GB limit and even tho it says installing from disk it seems to be downloading the game as well from the internet and not actually using the disk. My question is what exactly is it downloading when the entire game is on the disk? Steam already used nearly 200 mb of my data to update itself and when I turn off my device it goes into offline mode and skyrim stops installing. The disk has 8gb of data on it so I doubt that its just a launcher disk so is it the dlcs or is it a setting I have to correct as to why its downloading? Has anyone had this happen or does anyone know what I should do or try to get this game to install from the disk and not their stupid servers. I should of bought this for a console instead but I wanted to mod like I once did when I had a good computer because now I do again. I'm ranting but any advice would be greatly appreciated or a fix.

  • pokemon white 2 question who else noticed this?

    Okay on route 4 I have battled this trainer about twenty times and all I have had to do to reset this event is to leave the area and come back and the NPC acts like I never battled her before. She's only a few seconds down the path so I'm wondering if someone else has experienced this or if I'm the only one because I haven't found anything about it online. So who else has experienced this and is there any other NPC trainers in this game who have the same behavior?

  • Who services tracfone?

    Okay my phones internet keeps giving me a code 130 every time I turn on my 3g data. I can get connected for about 2 minutes then it fails again. My wife's phone is also doing the same thing we both have the huawei ascend y. I know its a crap phone to begin with but it has been reliable in the past but now its just crap. I'm posting this question with it but I doubt it will work if it does then please answer if you know this answer. Who services these phones and how can I find out if its a tower issue or an update issue? Its the straight talk service with a tracfone. Do I talk to a Walmart employee or is there a number I can call. I can send texts and receive phone calls but my internet is shot. And I just reloaded another $45 for the unlimited everything service. Thank you ahead of time if you answer and please like usual if you can't answer then don't post anything rude.

  • I'm ready to quit smoking any suggestions?

    I have been smoking since i was 12 im 27 now i have tried everything from nicotine patches to electronic cigarettes. I sucessfully quit smoking cold Turkey for 3 months then i slipped up and started again. I want to hear what ex smokers did to quit and helped keep them quit. I dont want to hear from non smokers who never smoked or preaching people who say you shouldn't do that just dont smoke its simple because if you never smoked you dont know the addictiveness of nicotine and what it does to a persons mind to keep them from quitting. Prescriptions made me violently ill and the patches make my arm go numb and feel like ive been stabbed. The stress in my life currently keeps me from just stopping and electronic cigarettes gave me a massive headache and i vomited often im thinking it was too concentrated of a dose of nicotine. So like i said if you quit in any other way that wasnt what i tried already i would appreciate the suggestion. Im waking up every morning with my lungs feeling like they are dry and crunchy. I dont want to miss out on my sons life because of my weakness to smoking.

  • Need help with high end gaming machine?

    Okay i would appreciate any advice or help that you guys can give me on this. I have no budget so feel free to suggest any components you want even if they are $1000 ill be saving up for each and every componet and it will take about three years to fully build. So what im asking is what is the best CPU motherboard, graphics card, and ram out there for a really powerful gaming machine. I want it to be able to run games like skyrim, gta 5 and other such games on the highest quality setting with little to no lag time. This doesnt include online only games because im not a multiplayer kind of guy. I also want to build it myself so i know it inside and out so i wont buy an alienware prebuilt machine. Its also important because three years from now my sons will be 4 and a half and three and its something i would like to teach them how to do aas early as possible so if they enjoy doing it they have a goal in life and will strive to achieve it.

  • Who else wants a final fantasy seven remake?

    I have for the most part abandoned squarenix and all their games that they have been comming out with because they have gotten too complex and horriable. But how many of you out there would be willing to see a perfect remake of ffvii meaning no major changes to story or game play just improved graphics. I would also like to hear who wants any of the other epic squaresoft games remade because i would also like to see a final fantasy 6 or 3 whatever you know it as remake because the magic system was superior to all others.

  • Evolution or creation why cant it be both?

    Now regardless of what steven hawking said about the beginning of the universe and how before it existed there was no time therefore no god. There really any scientific evidence proving or disproving god but the notion of a being made of pure energy isnt too far fetched. All us humans are electricity wrapped up and contained by fleshy parts that age and fall apart and theoretically if our cells didnt degrade we could live forever.

    Now the way i see god is that he is a being that makes up everything in the universe. The ground we walk on the cars we drive even the very electrical impulses that make up our brains. Because a being that has no fleshy body could be everywhere all the time if it is the very power that makes up all material hence Einsteins famous formula e=mc2 whitch means all energy when is is slowed becomes solid mass so everything is made yp of energy.

    Now if you read the bible you would see all the miracles depicted in if falls within the realms of physics and reality and like most things in the bible genesis isnt in great detail about the creation of the world because if it were it would probably be 1000 chapters long so it was written in the way it was. But evolution could of been the means of our creation. Because there is alot of evidence supporting that notion. Now that ive explained my viewpoint let me hear yours. What are your views on god evolution and the universe? but be respectful i wont hesitate to report someone for being insultive threatening or disrespectful. Just state your opinions and dont attack anyone else or myself for my personal views or their if you cant inteligently explain your argument dont post. To re state the question what are your views on the universe god and evolution? Its my curiosity that made me post this not to convince anyone of my views.

  • How can i get my mother in law out of our lives?

    Okay here is the situation me and my wife decided it was for our best interest to exclude her mother from our lives. Everytime they talk they get into an argument and it makes her feel like a bad mother. Her mother is emotionally abusive intrusive and just for lack of a better term crazy. The problem is is that she is completely obsessed with our son and refuses to leave us alone because of him. Well we never gave her our home address for this very reason and sometime last week she showed up at our door like a stalker. Her and my wife got into another fight and her mother starts claiming grandparents rights. Im sick of it ever time this woman is in our life she causes drama like a high school teenage girl and when she doesnt get her way she throws a fit and threatens stupid legal actions that dont even make sense. Im afraid that if the leagal things don work out for her she will just start harassing us with dfs showing up at our door all the time and just in general push me to my breaking point. My wife and i are just wanting her out of our lives and to stay away forever. Is there a legal way of getting her out of our lives besides a restraining order because we already tried that and the judge denied it saying that he doesnt believe her to be a true risk to our safety. So is there any other way to get this mentally suspicious woman out of our lives (legal answers only or advice i dont want to hear just kill her or any other crap like that.)
