Female Characters from video games here.
Desktop is Hrist, laptop is Lenneth, server is Alicia (Silmeria has appeared now and then).
My fiance makes up male names for her computers. Consoles get referred to by their designation (no need to tell them apart from each other).
Adblock the distracting ads.
Although be careful how you have your filters set; I had a general filter for stuff off of cmpnet.com, and shredded DDJ when I went back to look at it.
Yes, it probably does. If not, some sort of Rule 34 analog is probably in place. Unfortunately, making such a "game" interesting is something else entirely.
When I worked as the senior Mac tech support guy for a mid-size university, I was single-handedly able to support nearly four times the number of computer boxes than any of the Windows techs. Seriously.
How long ago was this?

You're thinking of the Pocket Guides--a useful little O'Reilly series that work well as an in-hand reference.
They're useful enough that I tend to look at them first when wishing to pick up new syntax.
Amtrak, from its inception, has been dealt a terrible hand. It'd likely help travel times if they owned the lines--this is what they've been saying themselves.
As it stands, an Amtrak train waits for any freight train that happens to need that specific line at a given point.
Note: Yes, I do prefer rail over car. Rail vs. Air is a tossup, depending on distance and how much I want to get there as soon as possible.
You're right, not all soundcards are created equal... but I'll still prefer my dedicated piece of hardware. No offense to you, but it's down to preference at that point.
That aside, I'm sorry you're playing Hellgate: London.
Insert - I've never had a use for "write over mode." Has anyone?
Windows - Almost useless, squeezed between useful keys. Fortunately my Linux systems ignore this key. That specific key is a very useful metakey, ignoring it completely seems to tell me you just don't know how to use it. Specificially, I know I use Win+R (run prompt), Win+M (minimze active windows), and Win+L (lock system) all the time. Equally useful can be Win+E (bring up a file explorer) or Win+F (which brings up a search dialog). Only "issue" I see with the Win+ combinations is that they're only available to the OS (not as a general meta to applications). On my laptop (which conveniently omits this key), I map the off-hand Alt key (left-handed, so the right-side Alt) to Win.
Menu - I'll just right-click, thanks. Some agreement here -- I don't usually use it (as most of the time, the context items are available via different shortcuts anyway), but I don't begrudge its presence. On my laptop (which conveniently omits this key), I don't map it to something else.
Num lock - Why won't this go away? Why do I need a way for my numeric keypad stop to working? Are the arrow keys hard to find? I find use for NumLock generally when playing games with my keyboard (the orientation of the keys is a nice straight-arrow setup for that). That being said, NumLock usually stays on for me (except on laptops, as the laptop implementation of the keypad is atrocious).
I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about poor old ScrollLock. Then again, Scroll Lock doesn't do much of anything (mostly speaking from a windows PoV here, I don't usually go key-exploring when I'm on a 'nix platform), except in Excel.
Slashdot Mirror
A quick note, turn off page styles if you're going to read that -- the background+text color combination is atrocious.
And you haven't pre-assembled 4-5 form letters and a couple scripts that parse the whois and send a complaint letter?

If it wasn't for the obvious issues, I'd love a system where I could cause the machine to detonate/meltdown.
...you only need to take a look at the Wii.
Must... resist... out... of... context... joke... and... talking... like... Shatner...
Are you sure that's not what this boxed set is?
I looked online at BestBuy and it didn't say... does it come with a manual? That'd be handy for a lot of first time users. Does it include support?
Although they'll never read it...
Or are you insinuating that supporting Windows at all makes one evil?
This is Slashdot.
Then you would agree?
I already use the superior competitor to SL. It's called IRC.

The "write once debug everywhere" language will finally be what it said it was.
Fixed that for you.Now that Snopes has come out on the field, this XKCD is obligatory.
Do you smell that? It's the karma burning.

IANAMP (I Am Not A Magic Player).
That being said, the tournament I see on a yearly basis is a legacy and a vintage (10-proxy).
Hawking needs a robotic exoskeleton to make that plausible... unless you say he has developed telekinetic mind powers.
Chuck Norris couldn't snap-kick the asteroid into a new orbit; that's just silly.
Now on the other hand, roundhouse-kicking...

And while Obama trailed HRC in the popular vote, they got the same # of delegates, rendering it a tie.
