You seem to advocate the silencing of religion, a basic human right. Volunteering to be first in the catapult?

Now that I can't answer. I do know their goal for making it a charm was to provide an easy platform for apps to implement search, to get as much participation as possible. That said, each app could still individually make design choices tow

Now that you've learned it, you'll find it works for almost every app. Windows Store isn't approving many apps that don't use the built-in search (other than games and things where search doesn't make sense)

You would think that, but it simply doesn't hold true when you actually use it awhile. The start screen is for launching (or viewing quick updates on weather and other junk); you're not in it that much, and when you are, it's a much better

Or just hit the windows key (or Ctrl-Esc) and type. Why do people like to click so much?

The new start screen is actually perfect for spatial memory. Instead of an unordered list of programs on the start menu, you get a colorful matrix of icons you can size and arrange however you like. For those with lexical memory, hit the wi

I've been using Win 8 on the desktop for almost a year, and I have no need for a start button/menu/etc. The Metro (er, Modern UI) paradigm works as well with a mouse as it does with touch. The days of touchless screens are coming to an end;

As soon as I saw the statement that everybody's opinions are equally valid, I realized this must be satire. Only in a massive joke would somebody think that any two opinions on a matter are both equally valid. Compare the person who has tho

This is exactly it. I've only been married 4 years, so I'm only speaking with a little experience, but when the love, passion, lust, etc. disappears, what is left? In the end, commitment is all that keeps it together. We happen to both be c

Well, it not only implies that black people don't move, but white people DO move. Either that or it assumes that the ratio of black to white was much greater than it likely was. It also assumes a lot of other things.

Exactly, it's a story at best. The article claims that Plankton -> Soil -> Slaves -> Black People don't move -> Obama support. The first 2 connections are obvious, but the second two do not necessarily connect in any rationa

Interesting, but not very surprising. A very small percentage of people come up with genuinely new ideas. A slightly larger percentage synthesize those ideas into other ideas. About half the remaining can learn those ideas, and the other ha

Encouraging people to vote is mathematically equivalent to watering down my own vote with the inclusion of a vote of someone who demonstratably does not care. I do care, and I want my vote to count. I do not want my vote mixed in with peopl

My co-op 10 years ago in GA paid $12/hr. Now, in SC (upstate, suburb), we pay between $22-26 for an engineering position depending on the longevity of employment. I think $35 is probably way too much for what value you will get; some experi

I'm glad you feel that way. Those of us with jobs and families snicker at college students who claim to be "so busy". Life is good at this time; do your studies and use those massive amounts of free time to socialize and create new things.

Beware: Ironic title ahead. For something that [poorly] attempts to expose hype, this article creates an equal amount in return. Might be popular with the anti-Windows crowd, but seems to just be a bunch of FUD about how Windows should neve

This is an elitist view of the world. In what universe does a rich person deserve to consume media at greater rates than poor people? Or because they're poor, must they spend all 16 waking hours trying to work for food, no time to consume s

Never, ever make a free entry question. You'll wind up with "balls", "suck it", etc. all the time. Predefine 3-4 set ranges, and let them perform a single click to answer the question. Much more accurate results.

No, just because it's a recursive service. A feed where the feed is full of people talking about the feed. At least, last time I checked. Edit: And, suspicions are confirmed: http://adn.loqix.com/appwords.17:00-03.10.2012.png

Pay money to view a feed from people who paid money to view each others' feeds, with conversation about the feed? It all seems so meta.

That's paradoxical anyway; once the computer is connected to the Internet, it's part of it. Maybe once we get quantum storage this would be possible, but current offerings do not allow downloads to infinitely recurse.
