Horrible. I’ll never be able to eat Keebler cookies again.

Before:
Kevin was born on the mossy hills of Scotland and lived for a while in West Lothian before the mores of pre-Thatcher and REALLY pre-Oasis Great Britain sent his family across the ocean to North America. They moved here and there and Kevin did the same when he was old enough. Now he lives in London with his family and a Dog.
Kevin Wardrop is an amateur writer, amateur photographer and professional pain in the ass. He has worked in the PC support business for most of his adult life and has been accustomed to simply answering technical questions as a matter of fiat, it was his career choice after all. Now he herds cats and puppies for a living as well as babysitting the web enterprises at the heart of western industry.
In the matter of slavish imitation, man is the monkey’s superior all the time. The average man is destitute of independence of opinion. He is not interested in contriving an opinion of his own, by study and reflection, but is only anxious to find out what his neighbor’s opinion is and slavishly adopt it.

Locate the Fallout 3 New Vegas settings folder in “My Games” change the fallout.ini file (remove read only property)
Find the following line:
bUseThreadedAI=0
change it to:
bUseThreadedAI=1
Add your own line underneath and insert:
iNumHWThreads=2
Maybe this will work for you? It worked for me in Fallout 3.
Road Testing Seniors
Published by NiteMayr on November 15, 2010I was listening to the CBC this morning on my drive into work; I had just snagged my free morning coffee and was being informed by the pleasant newsvoices of the CBC morning drivetime hosts when they brought up the Ontario Government worrying over how to make Seniors stop driving when they are no longer capable.
I thought “That’s funny, just yesterday I watched and attempted to help a senior lady park. She kept on bumping into things and failing” that’s a strange coincidence.
So, I can only imagine where this is going to go; depending upon how corrupt the Ministers involved are.
You see, road testing in Ontario is a private affair, meaning a private company profits from it. This is the same private firm that has to turn a profit on a government level service. I can see it now, mandatory re-testing with license renewal and since it’s a road test it’ll cost like 75-100 bucks minimum each time. All in the name of safety.
The sad knock on from that is that with less drivers there would be less gas and road taxes. The net effect being less money in the hands of the government in the form of consumption taxes and more cash in private hands.
You just know that the private testing firm won’t increase the numbers of testers in reaction either, it’ll plead overworked and just charge more.
Just you wait.
