I thought Windows was only per-application too when I first switched. You have to also set the default input language to what your normal layout and that problem goes away. It's the pulldown menu right above the list of installed services that can be reordered like it's supposed to be a priority list (it's not).
Not true at all. The real important metric is typing effort. Sure you can go for a speed record with QWERTY, but it's going to cause serious injury to your wrists long-term. Read up on the research done by the Carpalx project. Long story short, not all key locations are created equal. Choice of finger matters. Row positioning matters. Rolls matter. Same-finger bigrams matter. Hand alternation matters, albeit not as much as Dvorak thought it did.
There's a much bigger problem with Dvorak on a nix system: the entire ls -l command is on the right pinky. It's seriously physically painful. If you want to try a different layout, go for Colemak instead. It's slightly better than QWERTY while only moving 17 QWERTY keys (compared to 33 for Dvorak), which makes it much easier to learn as well as switch back and forth with QWERTY on the fly.
The worst case of this was the guy that owned r/jailbait and most of the other creepy pedophile shit. He had a close enough relationship with the site admins that they were very much complicit in that activity continuing as long as it did. Dude had a ton of sockpuppets that he would use to upvote his own posts and bury anyone that criticized him. Reddit groupthink being what it is (which is very much a product of how the site is structured, not related to TFA), he had a pretty significant vocal minority of the userbase convinced that masturbating to the stolen vacation photos of underage girls is socially acceptable behavior by hiding behind the godawful broken internet libertarian misinterpretation of what "free speech" means that's so popular over there.
It was pretty bizarre to see people publicly lament the closing of r/jailbait as some sort of great tragedy of internet censorship taking place on their beloved "free speech site". Sadly, that's what's possible when you give a bunch of people with a (generally frowned upon) shared interest an echo chamber where they can validate and reinforce each other's behavior and silence anyone that disagrees.
It used to be called the Department of War up until 1949. Shame that they decided to change the name when they reorganized all of the branches under a joint command.
That food looks about as tasty and manufactured as the tray it's being served on (standard school lunch fare). The breaded things may or may not contain meat, could be cheese sticks (breaded cheese, how nutritious!), could be ground up leftover chicken waste. The meat on the cheeseburger-looking thing resembles a hockey puck, which, given that it's a primary school lunch, probably tastes like one too. Ours were burnt to a crisp and would bounce if you dropped them on their edge like they were made of rubber. The bun is probably the blandest bun known to man, with any luck it won't be stale.
I ran into a guy like this in UT one time. Each time he called me a noob, no-skill faggot, etc. for using a weapon, I switched weapons. I eventually got him to complain about every weapon in the game except maybe the Enforcer (the starting pistol you spawn with). Dude even raged about the pulse gun, which is what prompted me to start this experiment. I even got him to bitch about the Piston and telefragging him with the Translocator.
the company has created a 'cheater's pool' (sort of like the populating of Australia with criminals)
And just like Australia, the cheater's pool will become a lawless hellhole, where might makes right, as biker gangsters fight for supremacy in the irradiated wastelands.
" Although, Ars Technica points out that players may actually prefer the 'special' world.""
And why not... some people like Australia.
That entire theory is frankly idiotic on the part of Ars. Quite the contrary, being placed in the cheater pool is going to be like learning about the dangers of alcohol by someone forcing you to chug an entire handle of cheap tequila. It will be such an awful experience that you'll never want to do it again.
They mentioned invincibility cheats, but did not stop to consider the impact of an invincibility cheat on their theory. There can't be any sort of interesting "build a better aimbot" arms race metagame based on the ingame performance of your cheat if your cheat gives you perfect accuracy and 10,000% weapon damage against a target that can't ever die.
Ignoring that 300 pound gorilla, the whole idea only makes sense if you assume everyone is making their own hacks, and thus can be the one "winning" by beating the other hackers. To the average person that downloads a hack, being beaten by someone else that has a better hack would be even more frustrating/less fun than a normal player losing to a hacker. Instead of never being able to lose, they are now mathematically incapable of winning. It's the same sort of frustration, but colored by a sense of entitlement.
The major downfall of the bots in UT was the pathing mechanics. The map editor icon for a path node for the bots being a piece of fruit was quite poetic -- it was very obvious watching your bot teammates that they were basically following a trail of cookie crumbs. While they could dance pretty damn well in combat if you cranked up the right settings in the bot config (yes, that was a thing in the UI!), but the way they navigated the map was incredibly predictable to the point of being a disadvantage against a real person.
My family has one with cable, and then a smaller one with an antenna in an upstairs bedroom. If the mobile device situation is at all like the TV situation, I suspect that this article may be about your brother's family.
Correct. My understanding was that they weren't destroyed so much as that some of the fine details (fasteners and the like) were simply poorly documented to the point that you can't just dust off the schematics and build one.
While the GP may have been good fodder for the Onion years ago, it's a growing trend now. The people that grew up in the 1990's with the internet a normal part of their lives are graduating from college, and many of them can't find a reason to justify the price of cable, unemployed or not.
So I can't stand outside my car when I fill up with gas because those asshats want to put in 30 display screens playing advertisements WITH sound blaring. Fine, fuck-em. I get back in my car and turn on the music a little louder and relax till the indicator says it has stopped filling up.
Where the hell are you filling up your car that they have ads on the gas pumps? I've never seen such a thing.
This is why when I develop applications with VB6, if I'm not satisfied with the speed, I typically use ASM as a back engine, and have the main interface and said engine communicate back and forth via commandlines and/or files. It might not be the most elegant solution, but it works in terms of stability and usability.
You mean the "Deem and Pass" trick the Boehner House actually tried to use at least once for the godawful GOP budget bills to try to bypass the Senate? Doesn't that strike you as a hypocritical position to take? Quick, post some more out of context Fox News clips of out of context quotes to show what a partisan shill you are.
It isn't the Democrats or the Republicans or even the (bad) 2-party system that's the problem. The problem is the Red vs. Blue adversarial partisan bullshit pushed by people like you that makes every issue divisive for its own sake to the point that nonsense like hiding the content of legislation and "Deem and Pass" are more attractive options than intelligent discussion. Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay must be spinning in their graves.
That being said, I agree with you about TFA being complete nonsense.

No really though...
If the developers don't fix it or explicitly call it "working as intended" in a timely fashion, you probably have bigger problems.

Well, I'm invincible,making me the grand champion of rock/paper/scissors/laser beam. What now?

Trillian has released a new version in the time since Android has been popular? I'm shocked.

I can't wait for the Daily WTF post.
Oh my bad, that's even sillier.
Oh you'll get no argument from me there. I say kill 'em all.
