(As a short pre-post aside - people buy shittons of games from steam...no used games)

Is the Chrome audio API similar or the same as the one firefox added a year or two ago? If not, then I am sad because the point of these APIs is so that everyone can do the same thing regardless of the browser! I don't know if its functionally different, but one of the links you linked to uses webkit prefixes, so…

Shutdown and hibernate and logoff, are some of the few tiles that I thought that they should have included by default, with nice icons and whatnot.

I don't really think Microsoft has the balls to phase it out completely. Having a better mesh of the two would be fine rather than the current dichotomy of the two interfaces. But if they want to continue making money from businesses, and still want to keep their stanglehold on the marketshare, they wouldn't dare.

I've found that it has generally better dev-tools and my experience with vim/emacs/any commandline applications or using the commandline itself is always much much nicer than it is in windows (and ive never found any windows commandline replacements to be satisfactory).

"while downloading a program or doing something" meaning downloading a torrent or browsing on sketchy sites. Its just bad information to spread these days when its not true, and it was bad to spread it in the first place. If there ever happens to be a large widespread virus, it will basically hit every mac owner…

I didn't click any links, but all I saw about that, was moreso about not paying money about for anything (as you say because the threat isnt big enough), which I would agree with even on windows since free alternatives can generally always detect and stop a very similar percentage of the threats.

See I put a ":P" at the end of that sentence to indicate a joke. The rest of my response has nothing to do with windows vs mac and more about security in general.

I really dont think that spreading information like - "While it's unlikely you'll ever run into malware for the Mac" is a good idea. That is the whole reason that probbaly something like 5% of mac users actually use antivirus. Even if were true that you are never going to get a virus, its not good security mindedness…

Another thing I forgot in my post in the actual post, to get the quality software that osx does have, they almost always cost money. the good thing about windows, even if sometimes you have to sift through all the crapware, there are almost always at least a few equivalently nice free applications, vs osx, there are…

The biggest advantage for macs is that there are fewer viruses for macs (though I suppose that it can also be a negative because every mac owner I know assumes that they are invulnerable to viruses because they are using a mac, so they are completely security oblvious about everything). I will say that the gestures on…

Or, more likely if you spend $500 on your nextbox, ill spend lets say $1200 on my computer in the next 10 years. Then you spend another $500 when your nextbox breaks out of warranty and you can't just buy parts for it. and then you spend $500 on the next nextbox in 5-7 years (seeing as how this gen didnt last the…

I don't know what to say about the new comments. They're good, but they still fall into a couple problems that the old new one did.

That's essentially what windows 8 has attempted to fix. It basically bundles MSE with it and integrates in such a way that it doesn't seem like an installed program, its part of the OS, which is basically is!

I don't know if it's just me, but that only seems to link me to the post in which you gave the screenshot.

That is much better because it clearly shows where threads begin and end, but there are two, no three, problems that the old system had down that this one doesnt do well

I would think that would lead to a hard-to-animate model.

terraria was fine, but the lack of automation and whanot really made the game a bit boring. Once you get to a certain point, you basically cant die and you can do whatever you want. Minecraft is somewhat the same, but you can do cool things with redstone and all the mods for automatic mining and whatnot.

Riot makes champions with a role in mind, but they do so in a more general way. "X person is a tanky bruiser", "Y person is a squishy support type". They do this moreso based on the kit that they give them, and in the spotlight, they'll put them wherever is applicable in the current meta to show where they would be…

Fair enough for most of your points. I still say that's probably WHY they're doing it, regardless of whether or not they should. I didn't realize that EU was the same time as NA, so pre split I suppose I could see why there might be significantly more problems.
