8. Android Microwave... Why not... They have computer in them anyways just something with a little more juice. Heck you can program how long you need to cook your dishes vs. risking the preprogrammed ones.
The whole movie would be able to play on one piece./explanation
Sadly, my attempt at humor is a failure. It was just that TP was my first thought after reading about rolls of Ch-LCD. I know, it wasn't in the summary, had to read the scary article, people on slashdot don't do that blah blah blah. Surely I wasn't the only one though?
And I brought up Uwe Boll because I saw his latest atrocity, Far Cry, sitting on the shelf at the local rental shop. It made me sad.
My '08 Tundra is quite pessimistic about it's fuel level. It's actually off by quarter of a tank. Of course, I'll take that over the S-10 I had owned previous to that. When the gauge got down to a half tank, it would start going back towards full! When I first bought it, I thought the previous owner was quite generous giving me a full tank of fuel.:(
Needless to say, I'm in the habit of watching the odometer instead of fuel gauges to know when I should visit the local petrol dealer.
The sooner everything reports in the correct units, the better. Using one definition here, and another there, THAT's been getting on my nerves.
Funny though, this reminds me of the switch to the metric system here in Canada. You have a lot of old people who have one set of units ingrained in their skulls who's number one argument is that they get ripped off at the fuel pump or for a jug of milk now. ("Look Martha, these cans of soup are smaller now too!")
Oh, certainly, won't argue that point. But a pressure-sensitive keyboard is going to be worlds better than keyboards we use now.
But like another poster said, think of the games where your character gets out of the car, runs around shooting stuff, then hops in a plane/train/boat/whatever. Using a wheel for a game like Halflife 2 would be annoying since you're in and out of the car a lot.
Think of it another way, simply getting into a pure racing/flight sim type game on the PC would be much easier than with a standard old keyboard. I bought some cheap dual stick controller for the couple of racing games I do play on the PC anymore (Trackmania Forever, etc) just because I needed some kind of analog control.
I sure hope so. I've grown to love having my sidebar on my work machine. I hacked apart one of those ping gadgets, so I have a list of servers and hardware that I can see is up/down.
I also have the sticky note gadget there too, which has helped clean off the acumulation of sticky notes from the side of my monitor, and finally, an outlook gadget listing my daily tasks from my calender.
I just love having all this information easily visible, and I *hate* having floating windows, I work with everything full screen. Gotta be an OCD thing.
The biggest feature I can't wait for is the side by side maximization in 7. On my wide screen that'll be incredibly handy for me, satifying my compulsion to not have floating windows just hovering around in a pile of clutter, while at the same time making the best use of all this area.
And I ain't some Microsoft fanboy here. I know KDE 4 is capable of doing some of this stuff, and I'm hoping someone implements it (or I find implementations of it.)
Vista 64 here as well, and IE8 never took over Opera as the default browser. I can't remember for sure, but maybe the "make IE8 the default browser" check box might have been checked by default? Those evil bastards! Surely this constitutes an antitrust lawsuit?
First time using this thing extensively, and when I get home after this trip, I'll be putting easypeasy or eeebuntu on it. Asus's Xandros, while having some nice ideas, just isn't well implemented. It feels cheap. I know other distro's do better, but joe blow won't.
I *would not* put windows on here. Navigating a tiny menu is not what will work on this thing. I haven't seen a better use case for Opera's speedial (and the firefox plugin's that emulate it). Whatever I do, I'm gonna try to lighten it up, this little thing doesn't have a lot horses under the hood!

Indeed. I found the comments more interesting than the article.
The kid is not the one who needs counseling.

Want to cook spaghetti? There's an app for that!
Yeaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!
Whoosh?

Back to my cave I go.
Then, I could give every single frame of each Uwe Boll movie the respect it deserves.
Anyone that argues based on "facts" or has actually read the fucking article is definitely new here.

I read your comment thinking it was a reply to the AC's Mom 1.0 post! :O
This seems like an appropriate time for one of those delightful FAIL images.
Some jokes just don't work in text.

The point is, it should be simple, but it's been made difficult for asinine reasons.
Sounds like something wolfram alpha should do.

Yes, yes and more yes. The one thing I've always wanted in a keyboard. No more walk/run modifier key or jerky steering in driving/flying games. Yay!
Or more accurately.
Population density has increased a bajillion-fold though. If a storm crashes into the continent and nobodies around to record it, did it happen?
Let's try to be serious with the posts, okay folks?
But if you die in Canada, you die in real life!
They do exist. Vancouver International (YVR) has free wifi.
