... in my mom's basement
Dude - you know that food you regularly find at the top of the stairs? That means she knows you're down there.
I am sure that is how he got caught in the first place, due to a security audit. They found the card was active and still being used.
Having read the article (gasp!) - it appears you are exactly right. The guy who found him came in extra early and was specifically looking for him.
By the way, you can indeed tell this story came from a new submitter - it was all on one page. Silly guy hasn't yet learned you're only supposed to link to stories spread over nine pages in order to maximize ad revenue...
Did someone finally decide to look behind that shiny new curtain made up of AOL mailer CDs?
Well in II the fight was in his Fortress of Solitude (I think - hey it's been a few decades) - so I'm guessing the flag scene was in IV.
I think I'd remember something that cheesy; I never saw IV; and I don't remember the flag scene - ergo...
Also, don't forget the bodies of the two astronauts killed by those escaped Kryptonian criminals.
It's like when we were kids and my sister and I would fight. My mom would tell us to "settle it yourselves, or I'm going to settle it for you!" Mom always ended up having to settle it because each of us knew we were right and refused to find middle ground.
Of course, looking back - I was the one who was right, and my sister was wrong.
Thank you for the correction. I don't think they make that clear in the First Run wizard - certainly it confused me.
Reading through the TechNet docs, it's obvious you're right. That's actually a much more reasonable decision than I was giving them credit for.
(From the article and summary) Web pages that rely on JavaScript and JIT will be big losers.
The author claims this, but his "proof" is based on the upcoming Windows 8. Since we're talking about mobile browsers here... what Safari and Chrome do are relevant - what Windows Mobile is going to do is basically irrelevant until Microsoft figures out how to steal marketshare back from the two runaway leaders. Mobile Safari and Chrome handle javascript very well - so this conclusion is based on basically nothing.
The problem is what happens when a user first gets IE9. There's a helpful wizard to walk the user through setting it up - and the default is to enable "Compatibility View", which basically takes IE9 (and IE8 before it) and turns it back into IE7.
IE7 was worlds better than IE6; but it was still a crappy browser missing a lot of modern functionality.
She's genuinely bogus.
