I, too, subscribe to the 'shove all my crap into my bedroom closet when told to clean my room' method of computer janitoring. Ironically enough I have a folder on my desktop called "Sorted" that I just drag things into w

I'll always remember my Great Uncle, who begged my Grandfather every time he saw him, to bring him a pistol so he could end it and escape the torture that was his chemo treatments. There is absolutely a point past which all quality of

To my girlfriend a weed is anything not part of a manicured lawn, as far as I can tell. My protests of "that's a native plant!" matter not.

Not to mention a massive consumer hostile price hike for no good reason. Ironically the 4090 might be the only one approaching appropriately priced for its performance, it is a monster after all. The rest of the 4000 series are units tradit

Serves them right for going the completely wrong direction with the Dawn of War sequels. (sarcasm) But really, squad level combat with leveling heroes and skill trees? No, bigger scale! Let me smash companies of Imperial Guards against hord

Sure does suck to find that camouflage is actually effective in shooters. When a bush has the gall to shoot you.

No there's an 'X' in the usual close ad button spot but its just part of the picture/video. The real close button is camouflaged with the contents and hidden in a random sot.

I've long since taken to preferentially using the search bar instead of bothering to learn the location of buttons e.g. in the Office ribbon menus. It's a true blessing.

Recently watching a Gamer's Nexus video where they tested a new built Voodoo 6 5000, I was impressed watching them install some ancient edition of Windows in which to do the testing, and how snappy and responsive the interface was.

It's not so much (or just) walled gardens, its the hiding of the more fundamental layers of the system from the user. A user doesn't navigate through the file system to a folder where they've saved a bunch of notes in discret

You are making some strange connections here. You might as well argue that a car built to be human drivable is easier to steal since the human needs to be able to see the surroundings, and a car with glass windows is easier to break into th
