This particular patch has actually already been fixed and superseded.

So, what's the big deal then?

I have a question about that. I noticed that MS did an update, and had already updated my AMD drivers to Omega a few days ago. I haven't noticed any problems.

Is this the kind of problem patch that MS will fix in a subsequent patch or do I have to go uninstall the latest patch even though I haven't experienced any problems yet?

heavy crude pulling here in Canada from the oil sands is profitable down to $20/bbl

Is that why companies pulling heavy crude in Canada lost up to half of their capitalization in the past few weeks when their stock prices shot into the crapper following oil's nose dive?

Talk to all the worried people up near Bakken or Marcellus. You don't want to be someone who bought any of those companies in early October.

Shale is much more expensive than any other form of energy except coal, when you calculate the true costs.

I hate iTunes, so it's been rockbox for me for years now.

I have music in my collection that Google Music does not have.

I use the DT-400W. Have owned Sangean for years. It's got a little speaker for when I'm shaving and it's tough as nails. I've dropped it countless times, it lasts forever on a pair of AA batteries and pulls in the stations like a boss.

For some reason, mobile phone apps like iHeartRadio or TuneInRadio don't carry the local sports teams' games, but my radio gets them no problem. Sometimes, I even prefer listening to games on the radio to TV, when the announcers are really good like the team that does the Blackhawks. Or I have the game on TV with the sound turned down and the radio on with earbuds.

and I find the interface quicker and more intuitive than my daughter's Touch.

They Touch (or iPhone) are awful as portable music players. There are a lot of people who still want a dedicated little device that will hold a ton of music and fit in their pocket.

There are lots of old technologies like this. Hell, I still have a little portable AM/FM radio for when I walk the dog and want to listen to the Blackhawks or Bulls game. Like I'll be doing in just a few minutes when the 3rd quarter starts.

As long as there are still rockbox updates for the iPod Classic, they are viable.

I have a collection of music that is unavailable from streaming services or iTunes, and I'm not going to just give them up. Stuff that I ripped from CDs or vinyl. Not everything is available for streaming.

8K UHD is called Super-Hi Vision in Japan.

I love that they're still using mid-20th century naming conventions for new whiz-bang technology.

"Super-Hi Vision" sounds a lot like the old film technologies of the 40's and 50's, like Super Cosmocolor and Super Panavision 70 or CinemaScope.

Any other super-human abilities you feel like sharing twice?

My superpower is that I can tell what all the people on the TV are going to say before they say it.

... why did you feel the need to interject this non-sequitur?

The other AC reply to my comment is a perfect demonstration of why.

He loved it because he was making his dad happy. Kids love their dads. But the dads are supposed to know better.

Impossible Mission FTW.
