  1. Re:My beta will expire before the retail license on Windows 7 RC Download Page Points To May Release · · Score: 1

    I've been able to upgrade from the beta to straight-from-MSFT interim builds, so I expect the plan is for the beta -> RC -> RTM upgrade path to work.

  2. Re:The problem with the game. Why microsoft loves on Crackdown Review · · Score: 1
    Things to do when you're "done":
    • All of the car races
    • All of the rooftop races
    • Get all of the stunt driving rings
    • Kill your best friends: Have one friend turn his HUD all the way down, so he has no information on the screen at all. That player is the "hunted". The other player, still with all his info (including where the other player is), is the "hunter". Have the hunted do his best to stay alive with no information except his senses. KILLER FUN.
  3. Starbucks "introduced" third places? on Massives As Your Third Home · · Score: 5, Informative

    Are you high? Ask your parents about soda shops, bowling alleys, drive-ins, etc. Then, go read Bowling Alone by Robert Putnam - it's a great look at what he calls the collapse of the American community, because of a lack of these "third places". Good read.

    Got pwned, huh?

  5. Google Local + maps + 'near' = gold on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 1

    After I loaded a map, I figured I'd try something, even though there was no way they'd implemented it... um, nevermind. Try: whatever near whereever Works like a champ. I tried searching for bars, but I'm sure anything that works on Google Local would work here.

  6. Re:Cool on Microsoft Issues Ominous ASP.Net Security Warning · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Proactive?! This vulnerability came to light a week ago - neither Microsoft nor their precious MVPs said a word about it until they could come up with some workaround code - not even a patch. I can hear it now... "if you upgrade to IIS6, you won't have to worry"... ugh.
