@GatesDA: I had forgotten Opera had this feature. I use the keyboard shortcuts most of the time.

@james-42: No, the shoulder strap on the laptop case broke.

@james-42: I know my experience is just one laptop, but I've had a Lenovo Y410 for 2.5 years without a single problem. I even dropped it on the corner of the case while riding my bike once and it didn't do any damage.

@westsidekino: I think the big problem with most games mentioned is that people always want the platform exclusives done in a Lego game. However Lego would never do this, they want any game they release on as many platforms as possible.

@royceda_59: Yeah, that will happen as soon as MegaBricks starts making video games.

@Mark Cohen: Agreed.

@irishfighter: I think you missed half the point. If your old iPods were still working why did you buy new ones? I still have a Sansa e240 from over 4 years ago that I won't upgrade from because it still works. When it dies, then I'll buy something new. No point in buying more when what you have still works.

@Almightywhacko: And why do we need a clock on our DVD players anymore? There are more way to tell home in a modern household than there are rooms in said house, seems over kill.

For any event or experience this has become the norm. I have actually started not taking pictures of some things because I know I will spend so much effort trying to get that one great photo that I miss the entire event or experience that I am currently at.

@Almightywhacko: This is how I pull my phone out of my pocket. The headphone jack on the bottom never made sense to me.

@stifflittlefinger: Snow Leopard is not an entirely new operating system. It isn't even a full version number increase. It is still a 10.x kernel. There are improvements and they market it is a different OS, but really, it is just a big group of patches on top of the previous OSX version.

@nick_sourine: There was a rumor that this was the case way back with early versions of Windows. However it is definitely no longer the case.

@XTRZX: Probably not. I've only played about an hour of AC1 at a friend's house.

@TendoMentis: But then how would I ever learn what incredible things are being sold in the airline seat pocket catalog?

@Weakskills: I agree that using older parts can create cost savings. However they can also increase costs if the supply of the older parts starts drying up when manufacturing of them ramps down.

@lucasway89: Definitely way too big with a 34. Give me a 29 or 30 and I'm good.

@darkboy1200: It bothers me to. I live in Victoria and this is the first mention I have heard of someone trying to blame the video games, so it is not currently in the local public's opinion that video games had anything to do with this.

I live in Victoria, and this crime shook the whole city. These youth are very mentally disturbed and it is scary to think they live in the same city.

@Chip Skylark of Space: When I redid the closet in our master bedroom I pulled out the one long rod. Put in a full height shelving unit in the middle. Put in two heights of closet rods on one side. Put a full height rod on the other.

I just got a Digital Video Camera and have been having trouble getting the files into Windows Live Movie Maker. What is a good tool to convert a .mts file to something Movie Maker will recognize without too much effort?
