That's an idea. Are they supported natively, do you know, or do I still need some third-party utility to make them like I did back in the not-so-good old days?
As someone who finally picked up an SSD on Black Friday, I have to ask: does Windows 7 work any better than XP about having apps installed on other drives rather than in Program Files/User folders?
I remember trying a similar setup once for XP, back in the mists of the past, and it was not a happy fun time.
To be fair, it only removes the software problems. In my experience, build quality also suffered (cooling issues, radio 'brownouts' on Wifi devices, etc..) and, sadly, aren't repaired by firmware.
, it's treated pretty much the same as a punch in the jaw, and it keeps people polite. Is there anything similar in the USA? Punish them for assault, not hate speech.
Pretty much. It's called "assault", except it's not treated the same as the punch. That's "battery."
I love the game ever since Patch 1.0.5 addressed the stealth nerfs, but at this point Guild Wars 2 has stolen me away and I've pretty much forgotten it. It was a good 40 hours of having a blast at lower difficulties, though, so I can't say it wasn't money well spent...
Have you only just gotten into Guild Wars 2 or something? I ask genuinely, because ANet really, really appears to be trying to do the exact same thing. There's some sort of divergent development disorder going on, where the content team makes changes to make the game more grindy (which is fine with me, I actually like grind), while the "balance" team makes constant nerfs, stealth and overt, to anything that people are grinding in the pursuit of the first set!
It might be cynical to believe that they're doing it to push the cash->gem->gold conversions, but I can't, for the life of me, imagine why else they'd be constantly locked in that sort of self-defeating loop.
That's one thing I've been wondering... DOES Mint actually go through and take out the stupidity Canonical puts in? I imagine they ditched the phone-home search, since it's gotten so much open hate, but do they change anything else other than the UI?
It still boggles the mind that every time I set up Ubuntu server, I still have to remove that stupid resolvconf daemon. What idiot thought a tool for bouncing between networks on a laptop needed to be in the default install for a goddamn server, I can't even guess.
A restriction is only as binding as its enforcement mechanism. If the developers behind DOSBox aren't going to hold other developers accountable who are trading on their name, and nobody else is willing to take them to court over it (and obviously nobody will over $3.99), then the restrictions are meaningless.
Pretty much this. We can yell and scream and call them horrible people all we want. In the end of the day, no one gives a shit. The only ones with grounds to do anything about this are the DosBox devs, and they've either decided they don't care, or that the situation is ambiguous enough to let it slide. They wouldn't even need to take this joker to court: just start by reporting the infringement to google.
I'm not sure if you're being flippant or not, but honestly, I imagine a lot of clattering electronic equipment shattering on the deck once there's an "emergency" that far above the ground.
Exceptions are not supposed to mean "something went wrong here". They should mean "there's a situation that is so unexpected that I don't know how to handle"
Wait, but when you write an exception handler for it, then it's not only expected, but you know how to handle it, so it's not an exception anymore, so the program doesn't know how to handle it, which means...
Unlike the mouse-in-the-corner, the button activates when it's clicked, and doesn't when it isn't. Unless and until Intel perfects the DWIM instruction call, UI elements shouldn't be relying on design that "guesses" user intent.
Usability and interface decisions that make no sense on a PC, like that idiotic mouse-in-the-corner menu, which generally takes several tries to come up when I want it, but never misses when I don't.
I never used pinning in Win 7, and won't use it in win 8. If I see something on my bar, it's running, and that's the way I like it, because that's the way that makes sense.
So yeah, I've actually used it, in spite of the cover, and yes, the "book" was still worse than Twilight.
Just the ones I talk to on a regular basis (mostly retired Marines, by count). Fool or not, I haven't seen any indication that they'd lean your way rather than mine.
Unless you're questioning my assertion that they're not actually sociopaths.

You did your own math wrong.
reduction = (A-B)/A = (300 - 100)/300 = 200/300 = .6666...
Awesome. Thank you.

Yeah, no, it's not.

No no...
"Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to using Windows for mission-critical applications."
If that's not "suffering," I don't know what is.

GP post linked to a HDD-less bundle, not just a CPU.
Probably because anyone who would know why it was an issue already knew that Linksys gear was shit from, pretty much, the moment Cisco bought it.

Shtarker, zis is SLASHDOT! Ve do not DERP here!!!
Damn, that's what I was afraid of. So I can get a less cringeworthy UI, but I'm still subjecting myself to Canonical's seemingly mindless whimsy.
Don't anthropomorphize your daemons. They hate that!
Despite how badly I dislike some aspects of Unity, I think it's a slightly better effort than Microsoft has put out.
And this, children, is called "damning with faint praise."
Also known as "clearing a bar buried six feet below the surface." ;)

I though LTS Desktop was 3 years, and it was the server that was supported for 5.
