Ah, I see.

My apologies, then. I thought you were referring to the kind you can see in the picture I linked to.

When you start thinking about it, it's unsettling how everything in Mario's world seems to have a face...

So i just accidentally ended an email to my boss with

Retards,

(It was supposed to be Regards, obv.)

EDIT: he just laughed.

[Agent Bert Macklin]

Obv?

[Gands]

Obviously

Dat lapsus

No worries, I was deliberately overreacting anyway.

Though I must say Win8 is a pain in the ass on a laptop. Four separate motions to turn off the bitch? Please. Win8 makes me miss the ease of Vista. Apple has a temp lead in the OS war. This from a guy who doesn't like Apple.

I'm sticking with Windows 7. Unless they come out with "Win7 Mode" on 8 sometime.

I die a little inside when a customer comes in with a Windows 8 computer. I have just enough experience with 8 to hate it.

The motto of the Windows 8 developers seems to be "If it ain't broke, fix it until it is"

Most of all, it seems that Microsoft is surfing on the sentiment that "PCs are dying, Tablets are the new shit".

From what I've seen everything seems to be thought for tablets / touch interface, and the ergonomics of the thing is unadapted to classical mouse + keyboard arrangement.

from what I've seen - and I haven't even touched a win8 computer yet, so this is just from stuff on the internet - it seems to be pretty keyboard-driven, actually. Tap winkey and start typing, and it searches through all your shits on the system

Windows 7 already does that. And probably better, too.

I once did a presentation and accidently wrote "assess" as "asses"

Worst part is I actually did proofread and failed to catch that. Needless to say not a single person viewing the presentation missed it.

[Oxymoron]

Check data assess

[Zod]

Oh goody. Another marijuana argument.

I can already see how it's going to end.

I got referred to as an asset to the modern history department. I feel good about that.

Also, the upcoming Cancon pilgrimage is being broken down as follows:

• Fuel costs: ~$50. Sharing a car to lower transport costs. If my friend Pete comes along, it goes down more.
• Accommodation: Free. Staying at a friend's house.
• Foods: All groceries as opposed to convention foodstuffs. I'm procuring a kettle that runs off a car battery in order to make cup noodles. Should be less than $60 over the few days there. Also, we're smuggling in our own soft drinks which when bought in bulk are about 80c a piece.
• All money saved goes into board gaming. We know what games we all want, so there should be ease in attaining the best deals.

I never realised how exciting it was to make holidaying so affordable.

[Stofsk]

You should get your friend a present. Accomodation being free is nice, and should be paid back somehow.

[Gands]

The plan is to get him something at Cancon.

Did not factor that into my costs. Data flawed. All estimates now inaccurate. Recalculating...

I tried out Windows 8 a while back. I managed to last all of 3 minutes before I had to ragequit over they way they fucked it up, like the removal of the desktop, and being forced to run all windows full screen only, and, height of fucked up heights, there being no way to close an app once it's opened, only switching to a different one.

Ugh. Really NCIS? Just when I think you can't get any shittier.

Do you even have regular murders for the team to solve anymore, or are they all just the work of guest stars with some kind of history with a member of the team?

^Most US television shows tend to be in their creative prime around their early to middle seasons (after a somewhat wobbly first season) anyway, much like House MD or CSI before its seventh or eighth season (though it's rebounded somewhat with Ted Danson).

[The Spartan]

Yeah, the seventh or eighth season tends to be when it all goes to shit. (Plenty of exceptions, but that's a good, general guideline.)

Most primetime shows on networks like ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX.
