Exactly my point, sort of. It just looked like the poor kid was up there to please his dad. Which is understandable. It was only made worse by the fact that this kid doesn't seem to really have a personality at all (though I respectfully disagree with the name thing. Compared to most celebrity child names, this…

I have to agree with lurker if that's the clip he's referring to. The kid just seemed REALLY awkward. Like when he started his "rap" he said "hello, hello, hello" or whatever like a million times.

Oh definitely! I mean it is NOT HARD, and even when I show it to them AS I'M FIXING IT, they still don't seem to process how easy it is. But the thing I hear most is: "Well, we could spend x amount of time doing this, or we can get him to do it in like 2 seconds". Which pisses me off, especially when I've got an…

Fucking page numbers, headers/footers, etc. etc! I'm the only one in the goddamn office who knows how to do this shit and it drives me crazy.

Say what? MiGs? A little known fact (usually because it's eclipsed by the gravitas of putting a human on the moon) is that after the fall of Berlin, the US got the rocket guys, and the USSR got the jet guys.

You just made my day. My boss knows I was slacking off now because I had to show him those damn pictures!

"you're going armor your iPhone"

Perfect summary...

10 PRINT "Yes I understand what Metro is. My point was, the only thing making my Win8 laptop different from a Win7 laptop is the touchscreen. And I use a combination of touch and pointer input with metro, not solely touch. "

Are those touch screens? I know it sounds odd, but I really like metro with my touch screen laptop.

link for that last thing, please. Not doubting you, just want to freaking see it!

You should see what grows inside your ass/hands/mouth. Even if one never touches the others!

I agree with you, and my toilet analogy wasn't exactly apt (the replacement costs are much, MUCH higher on a toilet!). I mean technically, if you rent an apartment, you're basically leasing the toilet, and you get the same advantages.

Beautiful. Cliff, you're my hero. +10

Ah yes, but the audience wasn't interacting, so it isn't a game! As awesome as that may be (and thanks for the vid, bright spot in a shitty day).

I don't know, but that would be one kickass project for an art major. Live Action Mario.

Sounds good, but I always steer clear of unlabeled ports. It's been my experience that labeling of I/O ports is correlated to build quality and reliability.

I know, I saw it, but I'm of the type that thinks it's actually MORE beautiful that way. I mean think about it, that is a picture of a friggin rogue planet!! An actual picture!! Of course, I may be the exception as I have a preemptive hard-on for the pending pictures from New Horizons...

To me, that picture looks like it's being lit from the inside. Notice the evenly dark edges, and the faint blue glow around it. Either this is glowing on its own, or the star is directly behind it (and bright as shit).

Not automatically, no. But then again, Congress didn't pass a law in 1997 mandating that those other companies release their grip on hardware (granted that was for cable boxes, not modems, but the underlying rules speaking to WHY they did that are the same).
