I'm calling bullshit on that one. How'd you remember your login/password here? Or do you have it tattooed on you somewhere? (Not very good for security IMNSHO.)
Yeah. It's almost like we should move towards some type of hidden metadata that indicates what a file's type is, and maybe another one indicating what application created it. That way, a user could change the filename as much as they want, but the file will still retain the key information that identifies what it really is (which lets other programs open it), as well as what program initially created it (so that program will launch when the document is opened or double-clicked). Probably too advanced for modern systems, though...
To me that's one of the main reasons that MAKES it an interesting game. I'm still playing it, I guess about 3/4 through the main plot, but I'm taking my time and exploring the game world as well. It makes a change from standard linear FPS games, although I'm a big fan of most FPS games anyway.
That's exactly what I'm enjoying about the game, too. I finished the main quest back in January and put the game down for a while. A few weeks ago, I fired it back up, loaded my last save, and headed back out into the wastelands. When I hit level 20, I took the "mark everything on the map" perk, so now I'm slowly going around and exploring all those places and doing those side quests. It's fun cos it breaks the game down into nice little 1-2 hour chunks to work on.
From a post made in December, it also apparently blocks AdSense ads (which would make sense, since they're part of Gooooogle). Anybody else know what this "Safety Filter" blocks?

Did i tell you about my memory condition?

"OH NOES - NOT P.C."
WTF? Sounds like Dell is trying too hard to be like Apple. Here's a clue for the uninformed out there...They're all PCs!
Sheesh...People and their knee-jerk reactions...
Good thing we're all just commodities... human lego bricks easily replaced with cheaper plastic.
Speak for yourself. I'm a Duplo.
Show me where I can find a girlfriend for 300 bucks...
Are you certain?
So which baby is it that's monitoring the killing of urban WiFi? If he/she weren't monitoring it, would it still be happening?

The first beta release though is SIGNIFICANTLY faster than the RC1. Most of us here are very disappointed with the RC released this week...
Typical for MSFT to screw things up. I wonder what they "added" to make it slower than the beta.
I thought it was common knowledge that when you pour Royal Crown Cola on things it gums them up...
Not at all. I'm sure some of their knockoffs are probably better movies than the ones they're ripping off.
I bet their first expansion will be Flaming Crusades, and their second will be Wrath of the Zombie king.
You make it sound like these guys have gotten into the game business.
Where are the insightful and informative mods?!?
Pffft. This is old news. Try to keep up guys...
Exactly! I've heard there are even idiots who will write and support entire computer programs for free! No wonder we're in an economic crisis...
I'm calling bullshit on that one! That's just another one of those internet rumors...
I answered 20 or so tech questions on yahoo answers because I was bored, but that was short lived...
So how is babby formed?
This is one that's gotta have the White Stripes' "Fell in Love with a Girl" as one of the songs. It just wouldn't be right if it didn't.
Just give me the ability to play as Mr Bubbles and I'll be happy.
And for some reason you can't kill it. That one infuriates me to no end.

I firmly believe we should store lawyers online.
I completely disagree. I think all lawyers should be taken offline and powered down immediately. It's for the good of humanity!
On the contest page, NASA has an explanation of why they chose the name 'Tranquility', as well as a little write-up of the COLBERT thing.
Is this some sort of crazy neo-yoda-speak?
Nah. Neo-Yoda speak would be something like "Kung-fu, know I."
Shoot it in the head, and move on :-)
I just did exactly that. Now, does anyone know of a good deal on a new monitor?
Before you know it, some tech rag picks up on your blog, publishes a story about it, and it gets spread all over the Internet.
Hah! Like that would ever happen...
Downloading its payload and going live a week after April 1? Now that's the way to do an April Fools joke.
