Damn. If only they released Word 2.0. Then I could hack it to work on newer versions of Windows. It's still the single best word processing package in the history of this universe.

Pretty much this. any smart watch with current battery tech is going to be on the charger a lot. My gps/hrm watch needs to be charged at least once a week, and that is annoying, I can only imagine what a "smart watch" is goin

I felt like I was alone with this problem. I have been unable to solve some reCAPTCHA generated puzzles for about 6 months now. There was one particular site, I badly wanted to complete the registration form, but after about the 7th or 8th

Emotions get the better of people as a deadline approaches. The market will become an exaggeration of the actual excitement factor of the game. Hell, emotions get the better of people without a deadline.

it definitely is available with betfair - it allows you to filter a huge amount of garbage data because people are always setting 1.01 / 1000.0 positions, and if you don't exclude them they skew actual implied probabilities.

The worst thing I found with Windows 8. Using any of the metro apps, there was embedded advertising inside of the apps. Upsetting to be advertised to inside of applications running on an O/S that I paid money for. It's ok though,

haha, yeah, same I started out on BBS's with a 1200 baud modem and that required serious patience (better than my grand father who had a 300 bps acoustic coupler). We moved interstate and I had no ADSL for a week. I set up a modem, and

Keeping load times down on dialup. last month I hit my usage cap and was capped to 256k downstream. 256k. TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY FUCKING SIX! FIVE TIMES FASTER THAN DIALUP! I thought that's fine I can cope. The internet is highly broken

I worry that SC is way too ambitious. I never really thought Wing Commander ever delivered on it's hype, and I think SC is more of the same. I look forward to being proven wrong though. BSG online has a bit of a following, but being br

There is a whole generation of people who haven't played XVT and that is a real shame. XVT has aged well over the course of time. I once dreamed of the day LucasArts was going to release XVT for the 21st century. Once they hosed that s

Polycode looks a little quiet, which is disappointing, it looks really nice.

Just playing around with this.... cross platform, doesn't try and be a "no programming required" environment, GDScript looks good enough. Whole env is intuitive. The live docs are decent. A couple of minutes in and I'm a

My kids had this game on their ipad. They asked me to have a go at it, I had a look, started playing... 30 minutes later "Dad can I have my my ipad back". Seriously I was hating that game, but the desire to beat my kids score outw

I think I know the answer to this question, but I'll ask anyway - Have you seriously tried to use the Embarcadero products for a "shippable" ios/android app? I'm guessing no. The entire experience is a sorry joke. I

Using KeePass combined with btsync - fairly decent combination. Have my db synch'd across all my devices, and available from any desktop machine I have access to. Haven't tried using the android version, but I'm sure it works

Damn you're right, can't believe I missed that detail, I'd pretty much decided on a PS4 because, hey, free PSN http://www.geek.com/games/sony-psn-running-costs-are-too-hig... I guess it was pretty amazin

Sadly you're right $99 AUD for $49 USD games. Yeeeep. That was fine when the Aussie dollar was buying 50 US cents.... It's like technical books here, 1998? 1999? I think that's around when the AUD bought 50/55 cents, Tec

Good idea, ease into it, show them some leaves, stem cross sections, then "hey I wonder what a sugar ant looks like..." lead into the spider gently

Yeah you're right, it will probably terrify them - I have tried though, play with the spiders, pick them up and put them outside, doesn't seem to help

Exactly what I was going to say. When that A New Microsoft came out, I was blown away and wondered what would happen to the person who produced it. Now he's on the Xbox design team, Awesome. I'll be buying a PS4 this time around t

This is definitely going to be the next weekend project with my kids. They are so scared of spiders (daddy long legs in particular, our house has thousands of them). Time to show the girls what they look like at 175x magnification!

Damn disappointing to see I can't upgrade the Mac mini I have from ~2008. It's a Macmini2,1, but I have upgraded the ram from 500mb to 4gb (3gb addressable), the cpu to the fastest possible (2.3ghz core2), and a samsung 840 128gb

Oh the other amazing thing we used to have - a system that generated so many alerts that everyone just created outlook rules to automatically delete all the alerts. I mean really? I wondered if we should modify the system to only generate m

Yeah ours was monitoring just rubber stamped it. Afterwards everyone remarked, everyone could tell they were bad just looking at what was in front of them, our theory was she was too busy watching the breaking bad final episode or something
