While Im not an advocate of Windows 8, miss information makes me mad too. In the article it said "Some functions, such as ‘start an application’ or ‘restart the computer’ are available only from the tablet interface". I took this to mean the Metro tiles, which if that's what he meant, he is completely wrong. The command prompt is still there. The standard desktop is still there. "Old style" shortcuts still exist. Of course, he complained about that too.
WRONG. WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG.
The old desktop IS still there. HOWEVER, many of the things which used to be on the desktop ARE NO LONGER.
MANY THINGS HAVE BEEN MOVED TO METRO AND CAN NO LONGER BE ACCESSED OUTSIDE METRO, INCLUDING SYSTEM FUCKING PROPERTIES AND RESTART THE COMPUTER.
The review is absolutely correct, and you're completely misinformed. Just because you have a command prompt doesn't mean that everything else from your desktop still works or is still there.
I have to switch from metro to desktop to use half my apps, but I have to switch from desktop to metro to use system properties? Worst design ever.
You don't seem to understand his complaints. Its not that shorcuts work. Its that metro shortcuts kick you to the desktop, and the desktop kicks you to metro. Why can't you just use one? Why can't everything be done in both? Its a clusterfuck.
I'm assuming that this happens because the server is trusting client stored data. That's approximately the same as not validating ones inputs in a fill-out-form. Why in this millennium would anyone ever trust data stored on a client without validating it first? Isn't this 2012? Or is there some other way this could happen?
Wrong. This is happening because in Borderlands 2, there aren't dedicated servers like in Call of Duty. When you play multiplayer, you host a local server yourself. Then everybody else connects to your server as a client. The server is not trusting client stored data, but the server ITSELF can be modded and compromised.
Picard has the characteristics that I'd rather be myself, plus he's the one I would rather serve under if I was in Starfleet (I'd be a red-shirt anyways, and that wouldn't end well under Kirk).
I'm actually wearing my expendable "redshirt" right now xD
I personally always liked Picard better. Maybe its because TOS was already being phased out in favor of TNG, but I always thought Picard was so much more impressive than Kirk.
Kirk was a brave hero, your Flash Gordon, sure. And he was good for that.
But Picard... he was.. well, Professor X.
