I tried all of the work arounds to get the initial installation to bypass asking for a MS account. But I relented and installed as I was asked (our office had already moved to 365 anyway). In order to complete, I just had to get the MS Authenticator code. Trying to install MS Authenticator on my Android Pixel 7 pro and it asked for a code from the authenticator itself(!) *fortunately, MS allows for the use of the google authenticator.

Wasn't his plan to recruit willing travelers (ne: victims) for a one-way trip?

Are we absolutely sure that SCSI buses aren't coming back?

'Because remember, wherever you go, there you are.'

Why would they make it look like GLaDOS from Portal?

So now a whole new generation will know the pain that comes from mashing that disc (especially on Lock-n-Chase). -Better yet, a new after market opportunity for the peel-&-stick joystick to avoid the pain. Jump those alligators kids!

At one time, Opera lead the way on web standards compliance.

Less compliant browsers like IE seemed to have websites catering to their flaws.

Then, somewhere along the way, it seems that browser development started wagging the dog (and driving standard development all the more).

The lion's share of this data is WAY out of date. Many of those stars don't even exist anymore. Where's the Echelon when you need them?

Can't recommend KSP enough!
I had never played a sandbox game (although now playing in career mode).
This game takes game/simulation into the realm of hobbyist/enthusiast. I've now had a crash-course (pardon pun) in astro-navigation in Newtonian physics.

You will want to install the Scott Manley list of mods to get the full effect- which is beautiful btw.

The community is active, the developers commited and it looks like the push is for deep space.

I also still play Enemy Territory: Wolfenstein, a game now over ten years old(!) still great FPS fun.

...they're gonna take all of our jobs!
