    You're implying, I stated. I stated "Creation", you implied "creationism".

    For all I care, merge all of these big companies into one massive government if you like, but do away with Microsoft's licensing. It's the biggest scam they run.

    Credit cards and bank accounts aren't a replacement for cash. They're a tool to dispense cash. They were developed in order to keep The People safe from thieves and such. However here we are talking about the safety of vendors. So evidently money is just a scary thing to associate with.

    A friend of mine is a hair dresser. She requires a check or credit as payment because she doesn't like to leave her salon at night, alone, with a lot of cash on hand. I suspect that the argument against allowing cash as payment, has something to do with security. We'll find out here on slashdot though.

    Why can't you just send photos via text messages? Do you really have to give the pictures to FaceBook (whereby they take ownership), so that FaceBook can send your parents pics of their grandkids?

    How about if I create a web page on my computer at home, and you upload all of your personal information, pictures of your kids, whatever, and then your family and friends can also log into my server and see said stuff? I'll do this for free. And if you want to, I'll allow all of your family and friends to upload content, and you can see their stuff. If you also want, I'll create a chat program that'll run on that site, and y'all can all text each other ...anything that you want, and don't hold back. I will take ownership of all of the data, and of course, in no way do I plan to turn anyone down that offers to pay for my newly acquired data - thought I should mention that. But hey, it's [blink] FREE [/blink], so...

    That's the FaceBook business model.

    I figure we'd go in some public place and eat food. Then once we determine that the other isn't a serial-killer, we can move onto inviting each other to our houses, introduce each other to our respective families and friends, maybe join a kickball league, then next thing you know, we're buying each other Christmas gifts, and I'm in your wedding.

    Seriously, 12-35 isn't an age group, it's the entirety of the best days of your life (not that life past 35 isn't good, it's great, but generally it's not as good as the previous years). If you're still using social media past 35, I feel sorry for you. If you need a real friend, I'm here.

  17. Re:Finally!!! on Microsoft Open-Sources Windows Calculator (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    After further thinking over this, I decided to search for a way to do this with a key combo or something. Maybe most here already know of this but it's possible to assign a key to any program. To do this:

    1) Open the Start menu
    2) Find the application in the All Programs menu
    3) Right-click the desired program file and choose “Properties”
    4) In the Properties dialog, find the text box labeled “Shortcut key”
    5) Click in the text box and enter a key that you wish to use in your hotkey. Windows will automatically place “Ctrl + Alt +” in front. If you choose a function key or a numeric keypad key, only that key will be used and “Ctrl + Alt +” will not be added.
    6) Click "OK"

    Found here.

    Funny you say that. My 1 and only idea as to how to "improve" calculator.exe was to have it running in some state, in the background, and any time one starts typing (while not focused on any windows) numbers followed by mathematical signs, it should spit out the answer on the screen. Basically keep the program part that does the calculations, but don't improve the interface, remove the interface.
