Give users the option to use your terrible Metro interface or have a standard Start menu. What's so hard about that?
Because now the XboxOne will have a start menu and it will look out of place there.
it's just a make em feel good act as within Metro apps (off the main screen) the start button is gone.
Not something cool like a plated stegosaurs.
Taught myself Basic programing, typing in programs listed in the magazine 80 Micro http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8Micro
Then when the programs wouldn't run, going back and debugging them taught me a lot. I had also taught myself
Assembly language and was going strong in that direction.
When I bought my first Amiga, (500), first thing I did was start to write programs in Basic, but none
ever ran right; in fact I had to quit as it was making me mad enough to toss the Amiga 500 through a wall.
The Amiga put a screeching halt to my programing; while I speak of the Amiga God machine it really screwed me in that respect.
I haven't really programed since. I tried AREXX but never went far with it.
Apparently Amiga's Basic program never did work right and pulled from later upgrades.
Not that it won't let me log in, the page doesn't recognize my keyboard or any paste attempts. Firefox no problem.
I don't think it's Google Chrome, I think it's the page itself. https://login.live.com/
Microsoft screws up and Google gets blamed for it.
I wish that were true, but they dropped presto for Webkit and this is the first build of the abomination. Instead of fully featured browser in a neat multilanguage package of about 15 mb, we now have an useless Chrome shell without side bar, M2, RSS client, Bookmarks, keyboard and mouse shortcuts and well.. without anything resembling Opera.
Haven't tried it yet but I fear the loss of my short-cuts, one built in is
I have many more that I've used for ages.
Hopefully this upgrade will allow Opera to play well with all of the sites now, I'm just used to
getting "you need a modern browser to continue". I use Opera as my main browser but have
a secondary FireFox for the pages Oprea won't open or when I want to play Battlefield 3,
which is daily
Somewhere around version around 3.62 or so is when I started using Opera. That browser on a floppy
was one sweet deal, taking all my bookmarks with me as I visited was just handy.
I've been collecting my bookmarks since that time as well, nothing else imports them,
some have tried but but it doesn't work out for me. I'm sure this newest update will
let me keep them and hopefully creating a new bookmark folder won't take very many tries now;
actually creating one was mostly a matter of luck for me.
Opera has always had the latest and greatest features, I hope it isn't "improved" to where
I don't care for it as that would just suck.
The above sound rambling? Probably because I am afraid of what's become of Opera.
I heard it a different way, The Nissan CEO was asking it's development teams to come up with a small car to take on
the U.S. market and they needed it fast, one team member said we can have one ready in two weeks, the CEO said "Datsun!"
kinda partial to that version...
From Dipendra Poudel, an official of the Ministry's mountain branch: "The mountaineering rules say if you want to make a live telecast from the mountain, which is a restricted area, you have to get a permit first and inform us early about what you're going to do."
Those protesting against the decision feel the intent of the law is being misinterpreted; it's failing to keep up with the recent fundamental changes in technology.
Joanna Jolly, a former Nepal correspondent for the BBC opines: " In the past, if you were a film crew making a commercial film, this would be clear from the amount of equipment you had with you.
... The question is: Does short video clips and posting them to personal websites (or making video calls on smart phones) also qualifies as commercial broadcasting, and where do you draw the line?"
A permit that was meant to deal with ecological repercussions, doesn't seem to apply in this case. If it doesn't, is it really about disrespect, money, a tourism copyright angle, or all of the above? Then again, should the Nepal government ignore outsiders questioning their motives?
When Vista was released I tried Vista.com and it was a very established data business, totally unrelated
to Microsoft. MS walked all over this domain name, I thought ah these poor people. I checked on the site
from time to time, the business model changed over the years to one of working with computer hardware.
Never once did they have a redirect to Microsoft due those coming to the wrong site which impressed me
as them never letting MS change their operation - yet vista.com does redirects to vistaprint.com now.
This XboxOne is MS's fault for not checking first before committing, get over it MS you failed again.

These are very biased news and in fact they are wrong.
The first submarine (S80) will be fixed by making it a bit longer and adding some floating aids.
"We'll be adding wings with pontoons at each end" he sighs with disgust as he storms off thinking morons didn't they think we'd have planned for this?
"Among the S-80's celebrated advancement is a diesel-electric propulsion engine that, ironically,
promises to be 20% lighter than comparable systems while delivering 50% more power."

I love this "story" it's a top of the heap WTF, destined to become an "I told you so" link to www.snopes.com
If you haven't seen it, here's a PDF of what one will look like, inside and out. (linked from the above article)
http://preview.tinyurl.com/qda7omq (1,125 KB) of course it's shown cruising proudly on top of the water.
I read that entire article and I honestly have no idea what the point was...(snip)..nothing...
Thank you for that, thought it might be a waste of time.
I didn't get past reading "Being one of the first cyborgs in the world" then a quick scan of the text scrolling down;
figured it wasn't going to be that great of an article and heck I got what I needed from the submitter (right, wrong, or almost {grin}).
The thing about interpretations of quantum mechanics, is in the end, they don't make any predictive difference. They might make things fit together better in your head, or act as a muse when looking at the math, but in some sense they don't change the experiment. It is just a layer of abstraction on top of the math that works.
Thank you for that as I did see it as their interpretation of the experiment giving them the results they were looking for.
While I see the large lines just fine and lots of quantum physics principles I'm unaware of; entanglement being passed on to
another unrelated event seems a retraction is but a verifying experiment away.
As mentioned it's been glued or a metal substructure. At 23 tons it's no easy piece
to move; displaying it will always be an effort and great expense. I see it being
very easy to break (not being involved in it's construction) as it has a large
unsupported extension.
Not wishing to offend those who enjoyed building it I'm sure, but what's to become of it.
Only place it could go would be to a Lego museum and LO I find there's one in the planning

Waste not, get your budget cut next year.
