What is it about Windows that everybody likes? (A rant)

And let me tell you why. Stability, proven workable configurations on flexible hardware options, and ease of installation with proper resources to manage the software suite in development that can be pushed to the user through teams of coding in a high level software managed manner. Nothing...

Need mouse with soft click for RSI

Your thumb is a lot more resilient and the movement of the thumb on a thumb trackball pretty much mimics any gripping behaviors one would use a thumb for anyways, so your thumb would be already used to the ball and socket motions. Also, your thumb does not have the acting weight of the entire...

Microsoft to buy minecraft for 2 billion.

Between these two posts, it pretty much nailed what Minecraft NEEDS to do to further itself as a game. Notch has been sitting pretty much as Valve has with Team Fortress, Portal, and long before Half Life - now just sitting back and collecting revenue. With the technical marvels that the game...

Need mouse with soft click for RSI

A higher DPI mouse would not help the concern that there is the elbow elevated to support your cursor drag, thus straining the upper arm and shoulder over time. It may minimize a bit in wrist and forearm, but they still act on the shoulder and elbow - if the whole arm isn't resting comfortably...

Need mouse with soft click for RSI

Give or take two to three weeks of regular use. It can be an adjustment period because the mind and muscle memory is not used to such a behavior. If however, one uses a laptop trackpad with a thumb, then the transition may not be too terribly difficult.

Insidious Adobe Update

One other note, IE does not need the separate Adobe Flash to work with Flash content. I know, I have tested this on my Surface Pro 2 with Opera (latest Chromium one) and IE (Desktop and Modern) without the additional Adobe software installed.

Insidious Adobe Update

I concur with the above. Go directly to Adobe's website per link above, not download.net/com or any other portal download site (because most if not all of them insist of installing an installer for you to even start installing your intended application). Have not ran into this issue either.

Best Windows Phone, Verizon

The main distinct noticeable differences as a smartphone for me... If you want a removable battery and a microSD card slot, there is the Samsung ATIV SE. The Icon, doesn't have either (save for the dedicated camera button and best camera of the three mentioned in this thread). The HTC M8...

Navigation apps.... for PCs

I would suggest Microsoft Streets and Trips, they also have voice directions along with route planning with waypoints... But that line of software is to be discontinued... in favor of that default Map app (due to the app mentality). If you want a full robust software route planner, there is no...

Need mouse with soft click for RSI

Are you lifting your entire arm off the desk frequently? do you have not a way to rest your forearm or is there a mismatch from your desk to seating height that forces you to elevate your elbow (possibly above the desk surface height)? If your forearm isn;t comfortable in that manner, being...

I need to know how to get wood.

Oak for carving is not quite good, the grain is readily easy to split and isn't as tight and big. Intricacy can only be done so much with oak. Maple, is a good, cheap choice stocked by many lumber yards, and the aforementioned Rockler and Woodcraft. Maple is where you find some of the desirable...

I need to know how to get wood.

Also, when I went online to find a local lumber yard, Google/any Internet search is not exactly fully helpful. Most results come up in flooring sales around the local areas or any cabinetry places. Keywords to use would be hardwood lumber minus flooring, remodeling, or cabinentry. You would...

I need to know how to get wood.

The other retail physical presence store, would be Rockler. http://www.rockler.com They too also have carving and turning blanks one would use in carving, and more of a selection than construction/cabinent grade/type of wood in Lowes or Home Depot. Per board foot however, they are not exactly...

self driving cars

I would say that having a actual person acting as navigator pointing points of interests well ahead of time so the driver can focus at the situation and driving scenario at the time, converging on the objective interest, is cooperatively ideal. The navigator isn't in your face with the constant...
