Or maybe it's because everyone uses a tablet now.

After reading about the mining profession in this game, I'm thoroughly pumped. All I want to do is pilot a big ass space freighter in the middle of the night, listening to nothing but the thrum of my engines and miscellaneous status updates by the ship's AI all while traversing brilliant, celestial backdrops.

Even after the Superfish fiasco, you're going to support this company? Their laptops have always been subpar to begin with.

Intersting, sure. But most of them feel a bit shallow which is fine for an independent reader level book.
Is that the only thing you ever do... post boring critiques of stuff?

« on: February 19, 2015, 09:14:05 PM »Absolutely. It was one of the more important books of my childhood. Lyra was such a strong and brave character.
I wouldn't say that Harry Potter taught me anything, in fact, by the end of the series I was tired of Harry being ungrateful and whiney.
Harry is a little faggot, but there are plenty of other interesting characters.

I've never come across a writer as brilliant as JK Rowling, and I've read quite a few books.

« on: February 18, 2015, 09:41:07 AM »I think you are confusing "intuitive" with "what I am used to". If Windows was intuitive, nobody would ever need to take a basic computer class.
Any "basic computer class" I took involved how to use Windows programs, not Windows itself.
ITT: Rushy thinks more people use Windows because it's more intuitive.

Most Loonix distros I've tried, you can use the GUI to do plenty of things an average user would in Windows. Neckbeards use Bash because of how intuitive and powerful it is, but it takes some effort; something the average user isn't willing to put in.

Erlanger is really ghetto. Actually most of Kentucky is. When I was there, it was like they were trying so hard to join the first world, but didn't quite get there.

Microsoft has had a literal army of engineers building Windows for decades, and it still sucks. Do you still want to build an OS from scratch?

I'm reading the Harry Potter series since I never finished it. Right now I'm on The Order of the Phoenix.

By next weekend, I will show everyone how to not Sadman.
You're going to show us how to read a Lego instruction booklet? I can't wait Mr. Xeon.

Black holes don't break physics you idiot.
That's an ongoing debate.
No it isn't. If it exists, it adheres to some physical law, known or unknown.

The collecting of outdated technological artifacts, like Thinkpads and old IBM mechanical keyboards, is an esoteric practice, Thork. You aren't autistic enough to understand.
