Seriously, when one has to Google on another computer for instructions on how to bring up the damn (well hidden) address bar in the browser, you know your "intuitive" design is bad, bad, bad. Luckily I already knew about the (equally well hidden) active corners of the screen to bring up the Start screen, Desktop and Charm bar,so I did manage to get around, sort of..

What the hell is it with Microsoft's obsession with hiding stuff? Every damn release of a new Windows I have to un-hide more and more things that I want to see, such as file extensions, full file paths, and all directories.
I know! Let's just hide everything!! That would be SO much simpler to use...
No it doesn't, but focusing on the past president without even mentioning the current is a irresponsible.
Perhaps, but bear in mind that without Bush43 enacting those shitty policies Obama would not be able to continue them now. Credit must be given where credit is due.
Long story short: After a very short conversation about relatives we found out that my mom and her dad were 1st cousins. Doh! I have never been so disappointed as I was then...:P
Second cousins, then. Biologically, that makes you basically complete strangers....
We actually were complete strangers at first. Finding out that we were 2nd cousins put full reverse on any budding relationship. Damn shame too, she was cute, smart, and a personality that meshed well with mine. Oh well...
from a genetic standpoint you were safe sibling share on average what 23 chromosomes:. offspring have and average of 12 dupes 1st cousins share 12:. 6 dupes 2nd cosines share 6:. 3 dupes add in mutation rate in humans of 175 nucleotides per generation per chromosome, and you safe as long as you don't have a family doing it for multiple generations. socially however you would be frowned upon.
True, however once the two of us realized the truth it was an instant turn-off for both of us.
Had a similar situation happen to me in college... had first met this girl at a restaurant where she was a waitress. Later on we ended up in the same class, so one day we got together for study time (and to get to know each other better), and I found out her full name at that time. Turns out her last name was the same as my mom's maiden name.

Imagine a giant patent troll, with unlimited strength, a massive inferiority complex, and a real short temper, is tear-assing around the East Texas court system in a brand-new SCO suit. That sound like fun?
The Second Amendment is a stupid anachronism. It needs gutting.
Fine, then lets do it properly and repeal the amendment.
The WORST thing we can do is to try to violate the constitution by legislating around parts we dont like; every time we do that we're basically saying "the only parts of the law that matter are the ones the legislators want to matter".
We have a strict amendment process for a REASON. The government is not supposed to be able to easily decide that it doesnt have enough power. Yes, school shootings suck, but not as bad as things can get when the government throws off all restraint, and thats why we started this country with very strict limits on government power.
Why bother amending it, when it is sooooo much easier to ignore it? We The People don't seem to put up much of a fuss when they do, so they'll keep right on ignoring it.
Back in the day when I was still at home helping my father on the farm, I'd be out plowing the fields after harvest. More often than not I'd have a group of seagulls congregating about in the middle of the field waiting for me to go by. They would fly up out of the way as I went by on the tractor, and they would land behind the plow, feasting on worms and bugs that had been dug up.
By his own reasoning, Rep Ed Orcutt needs to lower his CO2 production by keeping his mouth shut. He would do both the planet and his colleagues a favor.
Perhaps by inserting his own head into his anus he would be prevented from expelling methane, CO2 and consuming oxygen, at the same time.
I've been seeing reports of this so called clock for a long time and I can't help pointing out that so far, for thousands of years, every single prediction of the end of the world and humanity has been wrong.
The 'Church' makes up to several million dollars a year on the settlements to all the nuisance suits, and have hundreds going at any one time, more than 1000 concurrent ones at some points in the past. Its strictly a business model.
Does the legal system in the US not have a method to shut down such obvious abuse?
I'm seriously wondering. That seems like a shop with a shoplifting problem who knows who the thieves are and simply allows them in and out anyways.
As a five year resident of the City - no, it really wasn't. There was considerable grind, and unless you wanted to play only a limited handful of the available archetypes that could solo well... you pretty much had to play on a team. And after the release of the Mission Architect and the game transforming into the City of Farmers... that could be difficult, even on Freedom. (By far the most populated server.) When the Incarnate system launched, along with the raid based WoW style endgame, life was pretty much over for the casual player.
Far FAR more development time went into PVE and MAJOR QOL improvements
True, mostly. QOL improvement lagged greatly as the dev team was wedded to an iron schedule and consistently committed to new shiny over polishing the dulled and older bits.
8 year resident here, up to the last day. Not sure how long ago that 5 years was, but COH of late had been very not-grindy in nature (YMMV, of course). Issue 24 (the one in beta when the axe fell) had a TON of QoL changes and additions coming, including solo Incarnate play. Ever since Matt Miller took over as Lead Designer the game had become VERY casual player friendly.
Oh, and Virtue had by far the highest population.:)
I don't understand why so many people consider Windows 2000 "the best OS of all time." Windows 2000 was so wildly insecure that it was responsible for the several of the worst virus/worm outbreaks of all time.
I used Win2K for many years without a single virus or anything. You need to use your brains to stay secure on the interwebs, and not just rely on buggy software to keep you safe.
That is not an ordinary rabbit... 'tis the most foul, cruel and bad-tempered thing you ever set eyes on. He's got huge, sharp-- he can leap about-- look at the bones!

That is something best left unanswered. Count yourself fortunate that you do not know.

My dad was an asshole. I'm an asshole. My kid is an asshole.
Of course—assholes are like opinions: everybody's got one.
And they're all full of shit.

Good thing he's gone and it's all better. It's well past time to hold the "new" regime responsible for its own abuse.
I know you never said it wasn't Obama's fault, but when you continue to blame Bush for what Obama is doing, it helps create a cover for him.
The fact that Obama commits the same sins does not excuse Bush43 from committing them in the first place.
Obviously, you're very good at hiding it! You'd make a good spy.
It's a gift.
Must be cultural. If you had half a brain, you'd seize the opportunity.
True. Fortunately I have a whole brain.

Microsoft is well on its way to becoming SCO.

It's the only way to be sure.
Great idea! Now we have 400 meter tall snails that leave radioactive slime trails...
NASA scientists should not make politics.

No, it's a hen-house run by foxes.
Don't build them in areas subject to storms, earthquakes, etc.
The rest of your post is spot-on, but I see you subscribe to the BANANA mindset.

Color me confused. Doesn't red + blue = purple? Since when is it green?
Green = money.
