I assume I can use the mic from my webcam (like I could with Chrome?)

Work machine has Windows 7, home machine has 8.1. 8.1 is just better.

Settings will eventually completely migrate away from the Control Panel to the new Settings app. Microsoft has said as much.

Absolutely, just mount the ISO and click setup.exe. it will do an upgrade.

They’re bringing back the start menu! lol. I’ve actually grown to like the start screen. After using OblyTile to create all my custom tiles, it makes it much easier, in my opinion to find what I’m looking for than hunting through a crammed start menu of folder trees looking for the shortcut. I still never use any of…

Thank you for doing this! I already have all my stuff backed up. **waits impatiently**

Also, honestly, I’m pretty optimistic that Windows 10 will be good. I upgraded to Windows 8 for all the wrong reasons—it was my job, everyone in tech was doing it—but it turned out pretty okay. Minor annoyances like having to dig through two sets of setting menus and figure out how to turn on and off the system, but…

99% dirt with nothing out there but sun and the myriad of creatures just waiting for you to be stupid enough to walk farther than 10 feet from your home so it could kill you and suck the sweet marrow from your bones. No thanks.

Hook ‘em!

25% of all future mineral rights? Fuck you. you’re selling it.

68 years over a piece of land the size of LA county sounds like one hell of a conquering invasion. But keep reading Gawker.

Misdirected?!?! The kid is a Mechanical engineering student, safe to say he’s just fine

Many people use guns recreationally, and I don’t see how this is any different. I think it would be fun to go drone-gun target shooting!

Just because there doesn’t seem to be an apparent use for something, that should make it illegal? That seems a bit extreme. Or are you only suggesting applications of guns that you don’t approve of should be illegal?

Was this done on private property and under 400 ft of airspace? If so, the FAA has no jurisdiction. Go back to pushing paper.

Here’s proof that the government blind-bumbles its way through tech problems like some hydra-headed bureaucratic Mr. Magoo:

As numerous people have stated. I am not concerned with the Chinese/Russians taking all of my OPM information and opening up credit cards in my name. WTF good is 12-18 months of “Credit monitoring” going to do for me? Do they, the one’s that lost my data really think that the Chinese are going to run out and open up…

I imagine it will be like it is today. If I advertise updates from wsus to a machine that doesn’t meet the requirements it just reports back that it’s not needed. No worries.
