Are you two kidding? Full blown HD graphics with shadows, complex textures, high poly count and the like are what I want. I want to see blemishes on skin, blades of grass moving and reflections in water. I want to hear footsteps on metal, birds tweeting and monsters breathing. I want downloadable content, voice chat and massive multiplayer events.
Any gamer who's pulled out a GFX card and replaced it with a better model will say the same.
Wii? It's a child's toy. It's a child's toy that my child doesn't even play because it's a poor and expensive experience.
I use HTTPS on iGoogle and the Gmail gadget works fine.
OK, that's a lie, but it works 99% of the time. Sometime it asks me to re-enter my password, sometime it tells me it can't use HTTPS but a refresh sorts that out.
'Re-install' your gadget.
Actually, thinking about it some more, I do add something to the query string to force the google.com site to use British english, can't remember what from this PC. I seem to remember this helped with HTTPS early when Google let us use it... It may have been my unwillingness to use that nav-menu on the left... Um, I use HTTPS on iGoogle's Gmail gadget.
It disapoints me. I 'finished' L4D2 in two days; 8 hours of game play and I was gutted. It was a Christmas present from the wife and she looked shocked when I told her. I guess I shouldn't have picked the easy setting...
These 100% cheevos are often too hard, or require online friends which, at my age, are hard to find.
And the USA, the would leaders in Chinese hatemongering, could take some responsibility. I'm getting really fed up with the way the USA wants everything cheap and cheerful without a thought for anyone else. The hate is borderline racism - call them Chinks and sprinkle some sugar on the top.
I work for a German company, in the UK. Our partners are mainly Swiss and French. When we commission the Chinese to work for us, we help them. We fly our people over, we explain why we wont let them machine our metal in an asbestos covered factory, we perform QA on every 200th part, we show them COSHH sheets, we help. The Chinese are more than happy to follow our safety procedures. They honestly like the help we give them. And they obviously love the work and the money and we like the quality produce they produce for us.
Something I learned a long, long time ago was don't worry about your peers. Just do your work and don't worry about anyone else. Don't go crying to your boss, he'll already know the score.
Turn up on time, do your work, go home, get paid. You'll be happier with this attitude.
You probably already know that life is not fair and some people seem to get all the breaks. Life is not fair. Take it on the chin. Play the cards you have in your hand.
I thought the same, after finally installing Chrome on Vista, after the billboard adverts finally got to me.
The UI was blistering fast on Chrome and I thought WOW. After 10 minutes of use, I was not happy with the UI bugs (when zoomed, some links on some sites don't work), and the lack of UI customisation options.
BASIC. BASIC. BASIC. That's how I started, aged 10.
I typed pages and pages and pages of code I didn't understand. And when my "A" shaped man wouldn't climb up the italic "I" ladder, I got really pissed off. Radio controlled cars were much more fun.
15 years after that, when my first child was born, I had a ton of staying-in time and I started to learn Java. But that was boring and didn't do anything I wanted it to do.
HTML and Javascript was next. I got <breally</b> good at that.
So get him a decent radio controlled car, tell him to wait 15 years, get married, have a child of his own, then write silly Greasemonkey scripts all night. There's so much fun to be had from auto-submitting forms.
In the UK, 50cc mopeds are the norm as you can ride them at 16 years old and with only a little basic training. They are also limited to 30mph (although the kids tend to remove the restrictor in the exhaust pipe and carb (I also had mine bored out to 65cc because I was extra naughty))
125cc motorbikes are restricted to 70mph but few people bother to mod them.
Mopeds are cool for bombing about town where the speed limit is often 30mph. These hybrids sound just the job.
And c'mon LtCol Burrito, do you honestly beleive I don't know the difference between sponsored links and actual results? I'm not new to this internet thingy.

Like most consumer printers, this is the web's version of the economy "save ink" settings. These days, everyone is trying to cut costs.
The missus still types "facebook" into Google's search box on Firefox's default homepage. Every. Single. Day.
You can't educate some people.
I had to Google how... about:crashes

To shorten that number, you could increase the number of digits and characters. Maybe 26 characters and 10 digits.
Also, to save complications, we could all be given a number at birth. Maybe we could share part of our number with our parents to aid family tracking.
i.e. My first born son's number would probably be "Cletus Inda 01/05/2010" sans the caps and slashes.
Think it would work?

Why not get a Visa or Mastercard debit card?
Why risk using a debit card online? You know they are not insured?

Sloppy work is all your fault. Just saying.
No, because we've (I've) been reading English for over 30 years.
Whoever mods these sorts of posts as funny needs to get out more.
We know we're paying stupid money. But...
Amazon USA: 4000 points = $44.99 (£28.30) = $1.12 per 100 points
Amazon UK: 4200 points = £49.33 ($78.43) = $1.87 per 100 points
Ebay USA: 4000 points = $48.99 (£30.81) = $1.22 per 100 points
Ebay UK: 4200 points = £34.99 ($55.63) = $1.32 per 100 points
...no one pays full-whack for points. Ebay is kings for points in the UK and they're normally emailed as scanned jpegs within 5 minutes of payment.
They gone to one hell of a lot of effort creating an online presence for him. All that effort, all those websites, that CV...

I got a temporary office job once because I knew how to do a mail merge. I kid you not.

FF3 is still a more finished product.
And all those posts just show that people are uneducated and market driven sheep. Cheap phones that only make calls have always been available.

We all have a right to steel and other metals.
Amateur porn. Say you were downloading amateur porn. When people ask me how to download movies and music, I tell them I only use P2P for amateur porn.
Replace one taboo with another and watch the reaction you get. It is an interesting reaction because which one is worse (for the British prudes)?
People, at their own peril, take me too seriously.
Ah correct. .co.uk for me.
And c'mon LtCol Burrito, do you honestly beleive I don't know the difference between sponsored links and actual results? I'm not new to this internet thingy.
My first result is http://www.fitness-equipment-clearance.co.uk/
What is the problem here?
Add the word 'motherfucker' to the end of that post and read it again with a Samuel Jackson voice... for giggles, and stuff, like.
