Can I just say that calling it the "charms" menu is completely retarded?

At least that means that there will be consistency on what is allowed everywhere.

I liked Alan Wake a lot, but thought that American Nightmare really fell flat.

I'd have to see the original order to express an opinion on whether they're in contempt or not. The fact that they're basically saying "yeah, the UK said this, but other courts agreed with us so the UK court is wrong" seems like it could potentially be in violation of the order though.

I kind of hope Obama will do it just so the whole thing blows up in Trump's face. His giant, orange face.

No, they were actually granted the patents, because the USPTO basically just grants every patent that is submitted until someone challenges it. If the invalidation holds up though then Samsung will likely win their appeal of the court case. Also, I find it hilarious that the UK court said the Samsung stuff didn't infringe because it wasn't as cool as the Apple stuff.

It's barely addressed. Many people care, but many others just say "Fuck what they think." I'm sure there's a not-insignificant number of people who would vote for Romney precisely because the rest of the world doesn't like him.

I have a friend who insists on calling it "Aldi's". It bugs the crap out of me.

In my experience Walmart tends to be cheaper for prepackaged stuff like frozen pizza and whatnot, but that it's more expensive for anything "better'.

I haven't played it yet, it's in my backlog. I wonder why they didn't fix that in the Mass Effect sequels then?

No, Kool-Aid comes in a powder.

Yes, but many Christians can't understand that there are people who honestly don't believe that the Christian God exists, and so if you are speaking out against Christianity then you must be in league with Satan. That's why they also will say that atheists love Satan or hate God. When they hear someone say "I don't believe in God" they think they're using believe similarly to when someone says "I don't believe in abortion," ie that it's a bad thing, not that it actually does not exist.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever been to a grocery store with security on the carts. The closest I've seen are the strollers at the mall.

Some of the stuff, like the Metro tiles, seems like the kind of thing that would be great on a tablet or other touchscreen device but seem just weird to put on a desktop. Like trying to drive a car with the control system from a motorcycle. Sure you can do it, but why would you?

Yeah, I leave my computer off all night and every day I'm at work. No point in having it use power while I'm not using it. But I don't want to set an auto-shutoff time for the same reason: sometimes I have it doing things while I'm off doing something else, and I want it to keep doing them.

This. A million times this.

Weeper kills count as enemy kills, I don't know if being spotted raises your chaos. Two of the pics Tenshi posted didn't work, and the forum says there are too many pictures when I try to fix it, so here they are:

I consider myself fairly tech savvy and I don't even know how to "exit" half the apps on my phone. You mean like with MacOS?

Turn on computer. Log in. Click on "Desktop" or just hit the windows key. WINDOWS 8 IS SO FUCKING COMPLICATED HOLY SHIT He didn't say it was complicated, just that it was stupid. And it is stupid that you can't set the OS to boot to desktop automatically.

But that's what I'm saying, if you just do a short push of the button it's a software shutdown, even though you used hardware to initiate it. That's why you can go into Windows options and change what that button does. It's the long-push that's a hardware shutdown. So Windows 8 using the short push isn't using hardware shutdown.

Yeah, on my PC in Windows 7 if I hit the power button it behaves exactly the same as if I'd gone to Start>Shutdown as far as I can tell. If I hold down the power button for 10 seconds it force-powers-off, but that's a different thing entirely.

Actually overall I prefer achievements over trophies, I think the platinum is the only thing I like better about trophies.

Ah, okay.

Steam and 360 need something equivalent to a Platinum, cause that's more effective at motivating me to do everything than just making my total number higher is.

Wait, right-click doesn't open a context menu and Alt+F4 powers down? WTF?
