While I understand what you were trying to say and I agree with it in regards of letting the haters drown in their sorrows, avoiding Metro is much easier than doing any of that. Then again, that might not be enough for the haters, so you may be on to something. Sorry if I came out as rude, it wasn't meant like that.

I'm pretty sure it can be considered to be stupid if you're getting the opposite of the desired outcome/effect.

I wish I could show your comment to every Windows 8 hater out there. Seriously. It's a hate bandwagon, if anything. They have no real reason to hate it, and only do for the most superficial, fixable things.

Not the nicest. More like the most ignorant thing to say.

I'll never understand why Metro is such a big deal for people. Press Windows key and it's gone. No need to see it again. You can do your browsing, use Office, play games, anything without seeing the Metro interface again. With 8.1 you don't even have to do that. Boot straight to Desktop. No need to use Metro at all.…

Hidden interests in Avast or Malwarebytes? Damn, take off your tinfoil hat for a second.

Well, you're 1 in a 1,000,000 if you really had bad experiences with Avast or Malwarebytes. I'm pretty sure you were doing something seriously wrong, or are straight up lying.

Don't tell me; let me guess. You think I care?

That's awesome. I'm stuck to my 17" laptop for now while I save to build a PC from scratch. Also, I tend to zoom in the page all the way until I fill those gaps. I'm not farsighted or anything (was, but had Lasik done about 3 years ago) but it makes reading everything so much easier.

I don't see how the Google products comment is relevant. You're free to not use any of them if they bother you so much.

I'd like to do that, but I've found that the Taskbar itself takes more space when placed vertically than when placed horizontally. The pinned icons are horizontal rectangles rather than perfect squares.

Judging by that comment, you name seems to fit you well.

Macs blow.

What makes you think you can't map the thumb sliders (or whatever they're calling them)? Moves could be triggered by swipes, touch, whatever. You haven't even tried it. Try to be more open instead of thinking it just can't be done because there's no buttons.

To do this, focus on their left eye. The left eye is connected to the right brain—the emotional brain.

Or they can play offline. It's really that simple. I've played well over 200 hours of Minecraft in offline single player and it's been great. Why expose vulnerable kids to the inevitable trolls in public servers? Just keep them offline, problem solved.

Honestly, which do you think is more viable? Having a kid play offline single player, or trying to stop anonymous trolls? I hate that behavior just as much as the next guy, but try to be realistic. You are not gonna stop trolls. You just won't. That's the end of it. What you can do is avoid them by playing offline.

Is there a way these could be downloadable in a single file/link?

It's simple math, really, I don't see how he could be wrong.

My Galaxy Note 8 is great, and it packs a punch spec wise. The stylus is the cherry on top.
