Would a collapse of the power grid be doomsday?

About a year ago, I wrote “The lights go out: What happens if the grid goes down”.  It talked about what would likely happen if the power went out and works through the first 4 weeks.  In short, it’s not a pretty picture.

Doomsday Scenarios Below are my opinions and just my opinions. They’re based on reading and researching these topics in my spare time out of morbid curiosity.  I define a doomsday scenario as a scenario where the civil society could potentially break down a...

25 Best Animated Movies

Okay, so I started the 100 Greatest Movies of the Last 25 Years, but it was too long and tedious, so I deleted it. Instead, I'll stick to smaller, simpler lists. For most of my inspiration, I go to Empire Magazine Online or AOL for their lists and just do my own variation, because theirs kinda suck sometimes. Like, today I'm doing 25 Best Animated Movies. Here's AOL's opinion: 25. The Simpsons Movie, 24. Dumbo, 23. The Triplets of Belleville, 22. Lady and the Tramp, 21. The Nightmare Before Chri...

Too many minor issues not being addressed in IconPackager, WindowsBlinds & ObjectDock Plus!!!

For far too long now, I have had too many issues with three of the most important Stardock programs I have paid for. It seems almost as if they are not fully tested, as they should be.

First, Object Dock completely stops displaying the titles of icons when you hover over them after a while of it running. It happens for no reason & out of nowhere. Reinstalling doesn't fix this.

Second, IconPackager doesn't cover all the folders like it's supposed to. If I open a folder from ...

Sir David Frost Gone at 83.

Hankers just sent me this sad notification.

Sir David Frost is perhaps remembered for his interview with the late Richard Nixon, He was, however, involved in many projects and was to interview Britain's PM next week. He also had a comedic side, "The Frost Report" with such people as John Cleese, and many other now famous British comedians.

Apparently he passed away while giving a speech on the QEII. 

Another "end of an era".

Rest in peace, sir.

Fences gets rid of the annoying shortcut symbol (best invention ever), but I was wondering if Fences can have the option to hide the text underneath every icon.

Hi all,

Is there a problem with the gallery at the moment.

Skins created in September do not show up except on the home page.

For example. Click on the explore link and then choose an item from the list and only skins created prior to September will show up.

SurDoc giving 100 GB free storage for 1 year

But only one year.’Still, it’s a good deal more than the 7 GB MS gives you with Skydrive and all the others as well.

Box and SugarSync offer 5 GB and Dropbox a pitiful 2 GB.

Google Drive gives 15 GB free.

Well…if you need more than 15 GB at least there’s an option if only for a year, and yeah, it’s obviously to get people there and then to charge after they’ve gotten comfy.

If you decide to get the free storage, let them know I sent you....

Trying to start playing Elemental

I installed Elemental (the original). Trying to run it the first time, it brings up the Stardock Registration window. I entered my account email, my password and the Serial number for the game. After clicking 'Register', it goes into wait mode and the little spinning circle spins and spins but never completes the registration or starts the game. What can be done?

Thought I would ask about a few issues I had with a laptop I am working with. 

This notebook is always hot to the touch around the left palm rest. Just warm I guess, not blazing hot. CPU is located under the keyboard towards the top on the left side. 

The CPU is a Intel Core i3 dual core CPU with hyper threading, 2.4 GHz and speedstep.

I have a program that monitors the CPU temp. It runs around 126F when idle. If I open over 4 tabs in Google Chrome then run a few other program...
