Are no broadcasts in 1080p? My TV is only 720p/1080i so I've always made sure I got my stuff at 720p. But I thought that 1080p was available too..

Forget Norway...
Kenya!
Oh Kenya!
Where the girafess,
and the Zebra!

I preordered Portal 2 from Amazon. Thankfully, they honored their preorder as well!

I bought the Nook Color a few months ago, when rumors of the android update were getting stronger. At first, I threw on honeycomb and froyo onto some SD cards and didn't use the Nook interface much. Then I bought a book and used the stock UI to do some reading, fell in love with it. Now that the stock interface has a lot more functionality (gmail, flash, angry birds) I don't even boot into a rom anymore. The only thing its missing, for me, is more selection in apps. I wish I could get my wifi analyzer and some other handy apps on it. I've been considering rooting it, but overall I've been very happy with it.

I knew a guy that used a Logitech Trackman FX for FPS'. He was not very good. Granted, precision was ok, he could make fine tuned movements and with anything in front of him he could easily and quickly put the cursor on it. Turning was very limited since he had to move slowly to keep control, or flick the ball and have a hard time timing where it would stop when he stopped the ball.

On novice I had 15 wins, 5 ties, and about 7 losses. I could usually predict what he would predict I would throw. Easy, right?

I then tried it on Veteran, and my first 15 throws were all 15 ties. I kind of got bored then, saw what it was going to predict and won the next round. I claim I won that game.

I'll bet on the latter. It seemed perfect normal until someone pointed it out.

When I was hired in my first IT job, I talked to my boss about how unhappy I was with the technology education I was receiving from my online college. He went to a university and had the exact same complaints as I did. My biggest issue is that they teach how to do something instead of why.

Click here click that, then that. If one item has changed since those books were published, the stupid students would be totally lost.

I "fiddle" more with Windows than I do Linux. At least with Linux there's log files, text config files, and generally if it's broke, you broke it and have an idea of where to go to fix it. With Windows, one day it's broke, reboot and it's fine. You will never know what happened.

Vimium for chrome. I love using j/k to scroll. Accidently hitting 'd' to close a tab is kind of a pain sometimes, though.

Like running the A/C 24 hours a day doesn't affect your electric bill.

Can you link to this alleged game? Searching for "Patent game" is... less than satisfactory..

I thought you wanted us to find you a consumer you can buy. I was going to direct to your local downtown area.

I bought an HDMI-DVI cable for my PS3 when I used it with my monitor. When I got a TV, I just bought a small DVI-HDMI adapter. Everything works, including sound. I didn't know HDMI had the exact same pins as DVI. Makes me wonder why they use HDMI anyway..

I dunno... the waterline is spot-on. I'm thinking it was just a color calibration issue. And as for the man, you're not seeing it from the proper depth. That's a photo hanging from a string, it's directly in front of the camera. Nice try though.
