The <off topic> thread


Recommended Posts

Yep. I was just told I've reached my quota. Is there a way of increasing it to say, 10 ?

Not that I see, but I don't think we need to. Save your upvotes for the posts that truly deserve one :)

Other off-topic: Just got back from camping. Good stuff!

Five makes it a thoughtful choice when allocating them. Too many available points and they might be given away like candy, watering down their apparent value.

Somewhere between 5 & 10?

Good point EER, the points should mean something.

Welshy, chocolate is made from the cocoa bean, beans are vegetables, raisins are fruit. Chocolate has cream in it which is part of milk & milk is protein, good for building muscles. So if you eat fruit & nut chocolate, you're getting a lot of good things in one bite.

Seriously, every woman knows that :lol:

Hubby bought me a sign: "I'm not bossy. I just have better ideas." He put it up & has never once turned it around. It also means that if I start to get a bit irrational, I can remember the sign & think about the "better ideas" bit. :lol:

It's sad that half of the people in my school don't know the difference between Google and Google Chrome.

Why is that sad? That's the whole point; blurring the line between internet and browser. Chrome OS takes it a step further.

Now, I'm not saying I agree with the strategy, just that it is the strategy.

And, the good news is the sensor on the lawn mower is working perfectly. You know the one that causes the mower to run out of gas when you are at the furthest point from the garage...

ya know, i have those same sensors-not really a big deal on a normal size yard,but.... my mowing consists of several acres, 1 rider, 1 string mower, 1 push mower and 3 trimmers-1 string,1 triblade, and 1 beaverblade, so i feel your pain

Unfortunately, even if someone did have an invite to send, the aren't allowing any new account activations right now. The invite should still be valid when the open it back up, but we'll have to wait until they do so.

I too missed the boat by a few hours. :/

I know! Me too -- student accounts are so nice for software discounts. I got Win 7 Professional and Office 2010 for $20. Kind of ridiculous considering the average retail price!

Damn.

I don't feel so happy now. I can get them both for £78.00 ($124)

Still a massive saving of £580, but a bitter sweet result after reading that =O

Yet another example of 'Rip-Off Britain' ?

Ah I'm sorry man! Didn't realize it would cause such feelings. My specific school campus was relatively close to Microsoft's main offices, in Washington state - so I assume it had something to do with such low prices :)

What is this? I come back after a long absence and they've added a reputation ranking system?

Why Did everyone hate on me then?

I did hammer you pretty hard with this one. There is quite a bit that has changed here in your absence just not as noticeable. Also, I probably didn't understand what you meant.

The reputation system, as I understand it, allows you to give a point to someone who makes a particular good comment or offers good advice, so the focus is on the content of the posting, rather than how much you like the poster.

This seems to be a pretty good thing if used sparingly & there is a limit to how many you can give out in one day.

We don't hate you. I most certainly don't & hold you in pretty high regard, so I am sorry for hammering you. BTW Welcome back!

Oh alright, I guess its not exactly the same concept, but I'm glad to see it has been implemented in some manner :)
