I looked at my old posts once. Never again.

Depending on what the surface is like in this dry riverbed, a road bike may have a hard time. I'd start by checking out the gary fisher/trek bikes. Used bikes will certainly be cheaper and sometimes local bike shops will have last years models at reduced prices...

I played with one earlier today, it was alright. The touch cover is crap, the type cover is just like a laptop though. It also has serious issues playing 720p or 1080p youtube videos, but 480 seems to run smoothly. I never thought about it before, but the kickstand isn't adjustable, and I'm a...

What really upsets me is they could have made this a damn near perfect OS, if they only enabled the start button. And I say 'enabled' because we know it's there, and we know it works. A few months ago you could edit a registry value that would put the start button back on the desktop, and it...

Well, while I don't think metro is optimized for a desktop, I do think it's a well designed tablet OS. So I'm going to at least give it a look.

I'm going to go to the microsoft store on friday to play with one, but it's going to be a hard sell for $500. I've been using win8 since feb. or so, and I only uninstalled it yesterday. But I hate Metro so much, it literally has no redeeming qualities and it blows my mind that a group of...

god I hate this type of 'marketing': "Get started with 5 GB of free space. Upgrade to 25 GB for less than $2.50 a month..." 25 GB -- $2.49/Month

It's 2 right?

it's like looking into a time machine. I was reading it then saw my name and was like, 'wtf, I haven't responded to this thread!'

Clearly he was going to use the word 'niggardly' but decided to change his sentence halfway through the word.

damn tourists

I know I'm getting angry/offensive/defensive and I'm sorry, but it's just that I'm so confused. In two days I can't find a single good thing to say about Metro, but I can list out a number of features that don't make any sense. And you're right , I've been using the classic control panel...

So yesterday I saw there was a registry hack to disable metro but I didn't want to do it then because I wanted to use windows 8 the way the developers had wanted me to. Today though, I felt like I would do the hack and see if it made win8 more bearable. However, and this is hysterical I think...

See I've felt that Metro is slower to do whatever tasks I want to do. If I try and search for something like 'users' in metro then nothing comes up...because the default search category is apps and 'users' aren't in apps they're in settings. So I have to go click on 'settings' and then 'users'...
