@eug.o: Complex? How so?

@ortizlgnd4: Really? My impression has been that they got a few big games near the beginning, but from then on out they've mostly gotten multiplatform releases. I ended up selling mine a few months ago because I was disappointed with the volume and quality of new releases.

@ortizlgnd4: I just hope it isn't Microsoft. I want to be able to play games from all developers, and I want them patched to developers' taste. Microsoft seems dead-set against this, and having them control THE major implementation of next-gen gaming seems like it would bring nothing good.

@ImSpartacus: Alternatively, I could just go with my comfortable daily rhythm and not try to mess it up. Others can go ahead, but I am not particularly interested in getting up early.

Sure, staying up later than you're effective essentially leaves you unable to get any real work done. Staring blankly at a sheet of paper/screen never helped anybody, and that's exactly what come of attempting to work later than you can handle. However, I find that attempting to get some sleep before I'm feeling…

I think it would prove significantly more handy if you didn't have to click the magnifying glass first - having to do that extra step for every search is pretty off-putting.

@Novaoblivion: "Many of these projects have the option of being installed in locations besides the \Program Files we have iron-fisted control over, therefore they have been blocked. Buahaha."

That's cool and all, but what I really care about is speed comparisons with other browsers. Improvement there might just pull me away from Chrome and back to FF.

"Do you think we've traded our downtime for affirmation?... Share your thoughts in the comments." Ironic, no?

@I see the light. It burns!: Android app store policy is that any paid app can be returned within 24 hours for full money back. 8pen can be demoed in this way. Worth it, in my opinion, though the layout is too much to learn within 24 hours.

All these connections do, besides making the devices MORE noticable, is allows control of when they blow up. If someone is trying to detonate a plane in-flight, such an ability would make it no more effective than a timer. And if they needed to blow up a plane as it was about to hit a building, they could do that just…

@cdando: Yes, I was being sarcastic. I hate having to deal with the stupid Imperial measurement system. If we could convert to metric, I would be amazingly happy. Until then, bleh.

Wait, why do Americans care again? We have our own measuring system to use, we don't care about the kilogram. Obviously the rest of the world is being stupid with their crazy base-ten systems and all that. We are America, therefore our measuring system is too awesome to need to make sense.

question: why does the winner have a muppets face?

A week without wifi would certainly be hell. Thing is, if my main wifi router goes down my desktop is wired and I have a USB dongle I can host an ad-hoc network from, and even if that breaks my phone can tether for free. If that all went away somehow, than I certainly would miss it more than any amount of caffeine.

KDE can do this graphically in its power management module. Just throwing it out there.

@Frostbite: The problem with Kinect: Move and the Wiimote have options for hardcore games, though they are only being utilized for casual games right now. Kinect has limited itself to ONLY casual games, simply because it has zero buttons for more precise controls. I highly doubt that kinect will blow anything out of…

I'd wire-tap that

Question: How can you get any work done when having to deal with that theme on Chrome?

@Robert Anhalt: Which, for a large part, does mean linux. [www.bbc.co.uk] and click on "By OS"
