    But how can they sell it as a new product?
    These are now open box games not new games.

  2. Re:How about replacing an open file? on Estimated Transfer Time Is No More In Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    For a great many reasons the biggest one being that I could replace rm while using rm. Which means I don't need to reboot to do that.

    When the problem is Word, I think we can blame them.

    Thank you.
    Does this have a CLI?
    I would hate to have to watch filenames blink in and out of the list in a gui.

    Because it means you are closing apps to replace files. A silly thing to do. I can rm rm, lets see windows do that.

    Not with a proper text editor.
    Never seen the .filename.swp that vim uses?

    Then so sad that damn near every program uses them I guess. Too bad windows lacks lsof, is there a decent replacement for that?

    How about replacing an open file?
    That is one thing every windows user would benefit from.

    Soccer has action, not just boredom.

    There is not enough beer in the world to make baseball interesting. Maybe if the players were required to drink it would help.

    I have seen games that could have been played by 4 players, 2 pitchers and 2 catchers for 90% of the game. Also WTF is up with the lack of a playclock? The game is too slow to be entertaining.

  12. Re:Still not a sport, try as you may.. on Sports Bars Changing Channels For Video Gamers · · Score: 1

    Considering starcraft is far less boring than baseball I don't understand your point. Of course I find football barely watchable, too much stopping. Hockey is a decent game to watch at the bar though.

  13. Re:Don't you mean.. on Sports Bars Changing Channels For Video Gamers · · Score: 1

    Way more action than baseball. At least someone is always doing something, making progress.

    As part of said demographic I bet you are wrong as hell. I drink like a fish, so do most of my geek friends. We also all have wives/girlfriends though.

    At least those are more entertaining than baseball.

    There seems to have been no finishing work done either on those. Again that would not make it suitable for mantelpiece decorations, but with some minor heating to smooth out the surface it could be a fine replacement to a broken car door handle.

    Why would you do that?
    Glue yours together, scan it, then print its replacement yourself.

    Because a liter of that resin costs hundreds of dollars, that is why. Also it is UV fixed, meaning storage is an issue and that stuff tends to go bad with time as well.

    And just like in 1980 hobbiests were doing it. The GP apparently thinks anything harder than a coloring book or more expensive than a meal at McDonalds can't be a hobby.

    Either way it is not what anyone would be calling brittle, unless you are making some very thin sheets.

    Invasion of Kuwait was a war not terrorism. Also it was about control of the oilfield.

    And was the Libyan government any more evil, corrupt, and dangerous than Iraq?

    So yeah the country that does actual terrorism is worse than the one that was only accused of it.

    That is just a coincidence.
    The pentagon is full of old fogies most of who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground, so this is what they do when they get a tiny little shake.

    For a 5.8, no need to do anything special.
