Exactly. I don't particularly care which file out of half a million it's on -- I just want to know at a glance if it's still running or has somehow frozen/locked up.

Remember the employee you guys had that said "Comment timelines are neat but this is not enough to establish a working business"?

Find him/her - rehire him/her, and fire all of the fucking idiots that ignored them. They should have sold the idea to Google - at least then we might all benefit from it.

Instead, SoundCloud, and comment timelines, will be a neat idea strangled by poor leadership.

I used to tinker with the older version of Mindstorms with Java and .NET, can confirm they were all about helping us as much as possible when setting up the intro to robotics course at the local comm. college.

File this one under "play stupid games - win stupid prizes".

Idiots like this are why Windows updates are completely forced in the first place. A couple generations of "experts" knew better and refused to let Windows update. Then billions of dollars were lost cleaning up worms that had already been patched, but people kept canceling the update dialog. See SqlSlammer, CodeRed, etc.

You had your chance to handle your own updates and proved that you cannot be trusted to do so. This is the next logical step.

Agreed. Would be super nice to get full ECC support for 64gb of ram in a NUC form factor.

The ram capacity is the only reason I don't have 2 or 3 NUC's right now for playing with.

They've been more worried about acquiring competitors and patent portfolios than they have about improving the software for about 10 years now.

I'm shocked that this is the only mention of wax in the entire thread.

Last Hershey bar I tasted reminded me of those old novelty wax lips they used to give kids around Halloween. It's already to the point where you can actually taste the wax if you know the flavor.

Yep, nothing past 2008 will be supported.

Which means that while this is nice and all, I got crap to be doing.

It already takes Visual Studio 3 hours to "repair" itself once a month when it stops working, and that's on a machine that would have been a supercomputer in 2008.

My postman can't even be bothered to properly fill out the current one. How adding more questions to the thing will help that problem is unclear to me.

Just a heads up, but Games Workshop went after the vassal guys pretty hard when people started uploading 40k army stats. I would be very careful with anything GW related just FYI.

Not sure how it would go today (they're giving away licenses to anybody with a pulse and an iOS app on their resume right now), but back in the day they were very protective of their IP.

Did the Russians lose another submarine?

For me it wasn't so much him as all of the songs IIRC. Once I started just skimming the songs/poetry he became much less annoying (I'm horrible at deciphering meter and it just trips me up). The first words out of my mouth upon seeing the first film was "they left out Bombadil".

Had been looking forward to hearing one of those songs.

You can pry my channel 14 from my cold dead hands.

He also wound his own pickups.
