    You can do that in pacman too, I don't think that's exactly what he meant by not being on rails.

    Nope. Considered it but at that point in my life I couldn't have dealt with the addiction. And right now I'm addicted to MUDding again anyway hehe

    Zelda:Twilight Princesses might be a "rent it"

    If you spend time just enjoying the ambience of that game then it would presumably cost you far more to rent it? I spent a few hours one night just fishing.. definitely a 'buy it'..

    Depends what kind of business you're running and your office environment. I communicate regularly with a few people in the office via messenger (and even discuss work issues with one of them via this method :p ). There are of course at least one person here who is obviously used to working in a more strict office environment, and naturally she gets on everyone else's nerves in a big way..

    Sounds like someone sucks at computer games .. >_> hehe. While relationships are completely different online, they are still real 'relationships' and involve plenty of communication.

    I would have thought it was the skateboard myself.

    Microsoft are giving evil money grubbing corporations like themselves the wrong idea :o they could probably lose $1000 on every Zune sold and still not really care, as long as it hurts Apple somehow..

    Sounds to me that if you'd started out on a Mac, then you'd be complaining just as much about the way XP handles switching between windows too. I also have found the Mac version of alt-tab a bit annoying, but I haven't been using it for work anyway, tend to just use it for improved battery life and power saving options when I use my computer for playing music. As far as waking from sleep goes, I haven't had the same issue with my MBP - starts up as soon as I plug in the power and tap a key (though when the screen switches off in Windows on battery power it doesn't switch on again -.- ). Anyway, I can see situations where it would be beneficial being able to switch between apps and *then* switch between Windows, unfortunately for me I only found out about the Apple-tilde combination a couple of weeks ago and haven't even tried it yet :P

    And my main piece of advice to you would be to use Apple-H to hide Windows rather than minimising them, I think that should sidestep all your minimisation woes?

  13. Re:Incredible Spending Sink on Space Station Solar Equipment Showing Damage · · Score: 1

    Sure you have to do things yourself occasionally, but there's nothing wrong with learnings from others too.. if you tried to play golf or an instrument without any lessons, then you'd be missing out on hundreds of years of experience and little techniques that could help you play/sound better. Just a silly example.. I get your point though, if you just mooch off of others then you lose the ability to fend for yourself.

    "we're also working to increase the capabilities of those apps by adding functionality to the Web itself, such as providing support for offline data storage and access to 3D graphics hardware"
