But don't you also need a product key for the ISO to work?-Deozaan (October 01, 2014, 04:08 PM)
So... Now we're calling out the bomb squad for litter bugs
Note: Sadly this completely absurd overreaction is an actual -currently happening - real live event.-Stoic Joker (October 01, 2014, 12:03 PM)
It may have been mistaken for one of these aluminum Draino bottle bombs: http://www.snopes.co...nings/bottlebomb.asp-app103 (October 01, 2014, 04:51 PM)
Stoic Joker, how dare you to not send me an export if your settings xD ... could have been a major problem...-WhiteTigX (September 30, 2014, 04:37 PM)
Though none of the changes were related or should be related to the clock format...-WhiteTigX (September 30, 2014, 04:37 PM)
Anyway.. what kind of test build are you talking about? Your own or mine? I though you were using my version before...-WhiteTigX (September 30, 2014, 04:37 PM)
P.S. by "blank" you really mean it? Please go to options and change font color to transparent, did it look exactly like that?-WhiteTigX (September 30, 2014, 04:37 PM)
If MS uses #9 for an upgrade numbering the next completely new O/S #10 seems perfectly logical.-Cuffy (September 30, 2014, 03:20 PM)
well, if you put it like that ('logical'), I'll have to mention this:Vista is NT 6.0.
Windows 7 was indeed a polishing of Vista, that's why it was NT 6.1.-db90h (March 22, 2012, 05:09 AM)
not sure where that leaves 8, or 9 or 10 ...-tomos (September 30, 2014, 03:44 PM)
Sure it sounds like a great deal, but when the subscription runs out because hard times have hit, and the software shuts down. What do you open the files with? And what happens to all your stuff that is stored in the cloud?-Stoic Joker (September 30, 2014, 11:37 AM)
Well, I'd think that you'd manage that ahead of time, and get your stuff out of the cloud.-wraith808 (September 30, 2014, 11:58 AM)
And it's standard office format, so OpenOffice still opens it.-wraith808 (September 30, 2014, 11:58 AM)
And you can still open the documents from the cloud office for free- no payment required.-wraith808 (September 30, 2014, 11:58 AM)
This is a dollar, that is a dollar...the other thing(s) are only a dollar.-Stoic Joker (September 30, 2014, 07:46 AM)
The big problem with this model is that it may reduce diversity and competition (if everyone starts using it). While an individual consumer may afford to buy a vast range of software for one-off payments over the years (which he/she gets to keep indefinitely), his/her monthly/annual budget for subscriptions will be limited. So each consumer will settle on a very small number of essential subscriptions, which is likely to lead to the development of monopolies and the wiping out of small developers (methinks...)-dr_andus (September 30, 2014, 08:20 AM)
As goes the Ala Carte scourge ... It's only a dollar..!
This is a dollar, that is a dollar...the other thing(s) are only a dollar. And then all of a suddenly your stuck with close to a car payment - For :)ing Life - hoping that you don't get into a bind because then all your stuff is (gone) being held hostage by a faceless corporation that wants it monthly feeding - plus late fee$...
Windows OS goes monthly ...(today's letters become F and O)... Stoic Joker Goes Linux.-Stoic Joker (September 30, 2014, 07:46 AM)
That's the worse case scenario.-wraith808 (September 30, 2014, 07:55 AM)
The thing that is making me think about office is the fact that you get a locally installed version, you can save your files locally, and they're the standard office format. You have to read the fine print of course, but even looking at the fine print, I don't see any gotchas.-wraith808 (September 30, 2014, 07:55 AM)
Oregon police deliver pizza after driver is injured in car crash
Officers Michael Filbert and Royce Curtiss of Portland's police force were snapped while hand-delivering the pie after the original delivery man was ensnared in a traffic accident. Customer Steve Huckins said he was initially worried when the officers came to his door, but then started laughing.
I had an early digital watch that required holding down a button to light the LEDs to see the time. Try that on a motorcycle with no accelerator lock.-MilesAhead (September 16, 2014, 02:33 PM)
What I want is my $30 nokia in a watch shape, with tethering, and syncing all the data to your 'family' of devices.-Fred Nerd (September 17, 2014, 04:36 AM)
the wax part also!-kalos (September 13, 2014, 04:31 PM)
Only 'advantage' of wax could be that the material is re-usable, but how to revert an object into threads of the correct constant thickness-Ath (September 14, 2014, 02:49 AM)
No, I'll be getting quite interested in finding an unplug app for my phone...even if I have to side load it.-Stoic Joker (September 11, 2014, 01:47 PM)
Then at that point you'll be interacting with someone's device that they may (and most likely will be) using for non-nefarious purposes. How is that even tolerable?-wraith808 (September 11, 2014, 01:57 PM)
Stoic, you're using Win8 and you've got multiple monitors?-WhiteTigX (September 11, 2014, 03:28 PM)
I've also added multi-monitor support on Win8+ As requested by Baegus here: https://github.com/d...ngf/T-Clock/issues/2-WhiteTigX (September 11, 2014, 01:00 PM)
The issue gets muddier in public places. But, that would seem to be already covered by harassment or stalking laws.-Renegade (September 11, 2014, 07:32 AM)
