I'm not going to argue that I want to pay for upgrades, but I doubt Adobe will give me a free upgrade to CS6 because I bought CS5. 8.1 was not just a service pack, I know, I make system images and a lot changed that the average user isn't aware of which is why they called it .1 and not service pack 1 or update 1. In…

Something like this? 8.1 added improved K&M support, I'm in total agreement that 8 was rushed without enough consideration for the vast majority of K&M users. But it's changed since then.

Oh and they aren't horrible decisions if you look at the big picture. I do enterprise tech support, build the images used on all our systems from tablets to desktops to laptops, having one image for all it awesome. The new GUI is wonderful on touch devices and for non-touch it's pretty much just a bigger version of…

So let's say the body of car looks the same, but contains an updated engine, engineering tweaks that get better fuel economy, etc. Are you going to say that the new car is not worth it because you can't really SEE the changes?

Not that many people care, but the license agreement actually requires you to buy a new license if you upgrade your motherboard. The only exception is an OEM machine that has a board replaced due to a defect.

That's what bugs me the most I hear people saying oh I hate Windows 8 or I don't want it. When asked if they've used it the answer is no, but they read that it was horrible. I show them in less than 5 minutes what it really looks like and that you can still do everything you did before and then they always tell me oh…

Don't like corners and edges, it's actually an option to turn off.

What do you call 8.1? There was no charge.

I'd look into drivers if I were you. Your sleep function breaking I can say for a fact was driver related. If it happens again run the command powercfg /a and it'll tell you what's keeping the system from sleeping. I've run games that are 10 years old on my 8.1 system (alt+tab has been working) so that's necessarily…

Just make sure your excuse isn't "I'm a desktop user" because it's meaningless. Windows 8.1 has a desktop, has a taskbar, boots to desktop. It does everything 7 did and in some cases better. Newer hardware will see the most improvement but it'll out perform 7 on older hardware as well. If you're happy with 7 and…

The way I see it is, if you're truly best friends and your a decent fellow, he'd hate to kill you. As a decent fellow you'd hate to die. Jokes aside your best friend knows enough about you and if you're honest with him/her about it they'll give you an honest answer. Heck your best friend would probably make the best…

I hope my car never looks like any of these. I've barely gone through my first tank of gas.

You MUST watch futurama then. It's all on Netflix

You're hilarious, I'm not even arguing about the downsides to using lower octane fuel in a car that requires higher octane fuel and yet you keep pointing why it's bad to do so. I know you shouldn't and pointed out that it shouldn't. What I'm saying is that if you bought 10 gallons of 87 octane versus 10 gallons of 91,…

H.E.B. Spurs bag!

H.E.B. Spurs bag!

Yes I know lots of other cars can beat EPA figures, that's why I don't give them much thought since their numbers aren't based on my style of driving. I'm not here to bash someone else's car, because I know there are cars that get better fuel economy but that's not why I bought an AWD turbo charged car. I bought it…

Have you been in a '15 WRX, the doors have a very solid sounding "slam" and made the IIHS top safety pick

It gets better than the EPA numbers...depending on the driver I suppose. My 2015 WRX got me an average of 30.5 MPG on my drive to work today and that was with crappy traffic because of the rain. For what it's worth the manual for the '15 says you can use 87 octane but warns that the car was designed for at least 91

I took delivery of my current car before the dealership put any plate mounts, logos, etc. I never put a front plate on it. Thankfully I've only been stopped twice in nearly four years time and both were in Podunk towns. No ticket issued and in fact the last cop was nice enough to say "don't do it yourself, just take…
