And also, why the hell do they still insist on having left and right button on the left and right side of the trackpad? It is horrible and erases the border between the two, unless the laptop manufacturer has made a dent in the surface or something. I must say I prefer the Apple solution to this - clicking with two fingers equals right click.
I'm pretty sure this is a driver issue, because on Linux I've been using two finger right-click and three finger middle-click for ages. (Since 2007 at least.) The Linux Synaptics drivers also have the zones option, but I never turn this on.
On a general news site, where people go for information, there's really little value in any "dynamic" discussion except to let us know the level of stupidity among the readers. If you don't believe me, go read the comments section of your local newspaper. Don't spend too much time doing that though, or you may become afraid to ever leave your house.
Actually, my local paper 'fixed' its comments section by only allowing subscribers to comment. They also added a 'report post' button that actually worked. Suddenly, trolls couldn't get 30 accounts, and the comments became much cleaner. Unfortunately, most of the frequent commenters were trolls, so many stories only get one or two comments.
I think the Braid and Cortex Command Linux ports were written specifically for the bundle. I tried out Braid for an hour earlier and didn't run into any issues, although what he said is true, you're stuck with arrow keys and space for the controls. Cortex Command seems to run pretty well and seems well polished for an alpha game. Cortex Command is one of those permanent alpha games (similar to Minecraft, but much older), and so I'd hope we get some way to redeem our bundle keys with its creator. Machinarium is a flash game, so it will run as well as you can run flash (fully maxing out one core in my case). Osmos is pretty fun, especially the gravity based levels, but I didn't play very far so I don't know if it gets stale. Revenge of the Titans is tower defense. It appears to be good, but this bundle hasn't been out long and I have more pressing matters to attend to than reviewing games.
Oh, Machinarium, Osmos, and Revenge of the Titans all come with soundtracks as well.
I've seen it mar pistons and cylinder walls before. (A valve broke off and they tried to restart the engine. I guess you could still do a rebuild but it's going to cost more than a new engine.)
Anyways, my point was that people do the minimum they can until it bites them in the ass. I was voicing my support for the fine.
Of course, the problem here is that people don't feel they should pay for anything to do with a computer other than the price-tag they see when they go to BestBuy. They'll scream blue-murder if they're told that they actually have a responsibility, both financially and in how they operate their machine. Most people want to treat a computer the way they do their microwave oven, buy it, and if it breaks, replace it, but never, ever have to spend any time or money on maintenance.
To be honest, most people expect their cars to work in the same way. I can't count the number of times I've seen perfectly good engines ruined when the timing belt snapped because the owner hadn't had it changed at the proper time. Most people think oil changes are all a car should ever need.
If they have coverage in your area, you could get on T-Mobile's "Even More Plus" plan. It's contract free, and has no subsidized phones, so the monthly fee is a good bit less.
I believe they are called "positive ground" (+ terminal of battery connected to chassis ground instead of - terminal) and yes they do exist.
not if you're English. (or your car is English) My car has a sticker under the hood (bonnet) that says "This vehicle is wired NEGATIVE EARTH" in big bold letters to make sure you know that before you try to hook up jumper cables.
On a related note, will these work on 6v vehicles? You'd probably have to buy a separate one that costs 10x as much in either case.
Murky and Incomprehensible: Can anyone surf one of the Android sites and figure out WTF plans you actually need to run these phones and what it will cost per year? It's worse than buying a house. I'd rather try to figure out the federal deficit.
Do you go to symbian.com to find information about plans for smartphones running Symbian? If you want to know you should go to the carrier's website, not the phone OS's website or the phone manufacturer's website. If you have a problem with the carrier's website that's alright, but no need to blame Android for that. It probably sucked before Android.
Risky: I keep reading these stories about people who traveled and came home to discover a phone bill larger than my annual salary. Sorry, but I am not going to risk my financial well-being to own a whizzy phone..
This can happen with any smartphone. If you roam and use the data connection it gets expensive. There is an option in the phone called 'Disable Data Roaming.' It has been there since day one, and anyone who racked up huge charges obviously did not check this box before they left the country.
Valve will reset the key to your account if you follow the instructions on this page
Also, you should go back to the store you bought the game from, ask to see the manager, and tell him one of his employees is stealing CD keys from the games.
The movie theater was a horrible idea, as is most of home. But they promised us personal TV's for our apartments that we can buy and then use to stream media from our PS3 to anyone who is in the apartment with us. (radios do the same with music, and picture frames do the same with pictures) At least this is what I have read.
Also, $5 to start a club? who's brilliant idea was that?
when did CS get ads? are you talking about the welcome screen when you join a server? because that's specified by the server, and clans usually put their site or something in there. Those sometimes have ads, but I don't remember seeing any other ads in the game.
I thought I saw some at home depot the other day but I can't seem to find it on their website. They always seem to have more in the store than they list online, so actually going out and checking would be a good idea.
If you can't find anything, you could just get GFCI outlets and use the "test" button to shut them off.

Distilled water is $0.99/gal around here.

So you admit it's an attractive force.
Also that puzzle game with the Apple logo. I beat it, but it's still fun.

I'll just play this instead.
anemic engines
This had a V8 and more room than a tiny subcompact.

If anyone should be heavily criticized for a poorly organized web presence, it's IBM.
or any motherboard manufacturer.
agreed. I wish they'd copy Sun, the Java API documentation is great.
That may be true, but can you go 900 mph and shoot missiles?
Tennessee Tech. Although I just talked to a friend who works there and it's unblocked in the dorms now.
It was blocked at my school. You couldn't use it in the dorms or on the campus wifi.
It browses slashdot pretty well, you just have to disable the floating threshold tool first or it constantly moves over top of what you're reading.

'96 one. WC Saga only has the Prologue released.
Unless you have the Kilrathi Saga pack, you'll need dosbox to make it work.
Wing Commander isn't free though, so I doubt it could be packaged with these computers. Maybe Vegastrike or one of it's mods would be a better option.
