I really feel sorry for you! But I have to disagree with your topic, it is not the end of the world as we know it. It's only the end of the wonderful flavor of good coffee floating in the air, the sensational taste of a hot and strong coffee, the incredible experience of caffeine rushing through your body.. Oh, well. You are right, it really is the end.
(Just in case somebody might be thinking that I'm a coffee addict: I'm not. Really.  )
I won’t not use no double negatives.

You're the type to have a backup of your database. Why ain't there no backup for the coffee?
FWIW; vital products should be in the first-aid box. Also throw in a pack of cigarettes and a lighter

I am on the backup already.
I didn't realise I was going through it so quickly and two weeks ago realised I was into the last bag. A kilo normally lasts me 5-6 weeks and I thought I'd have enough until well into next week so all would be fine until the next load arrives. Unfortunately not.

Regular readers will know the trials and tribulations of my house and its leak. It has been a right pain in the arse, and should be nearing completion, but I don't want to complain about that as obviously some on here have real reason to complain about water and houses at the moment.
On to the point, I live in a small house, in June (I think) we had a new living room carpet. Obviously to have this done everything had to be removed from the room, for the first time in the 10 years we have lived there. This was no small operation and involved a phenomenal amount of crap. Much of which was thrown, other stuff consigned to the garage or loft.
After the new carpet was fitted we rejoiced in the new found space and lack of clutter.
Today we are having another new carpet fitted, so last night and this morning before work I removed everything from the room and removed the old new carpet.
My word but there was a massive amount of shite worked its way back into that room.

When we moved house back in July we threw out 1.5 tons of crap.
That is not an exaggeration.
15 years of hoarding stuff and I cleansed my soul.
I haven't missed a single thing I have thrown.

We buy nothing unless we both agree we need it.
No More Useless Crap is our motto.
So far so good.

The latest non-dev release has the options to "Relaunch in Windows8 mode" and "Relaunch in desktop mode".
I have to wonder though, how much more bloat can they shove into the browser becomes things become severely broken. After all, pre 23 appeared to work fine in both modes, Starting from the tiles opened in Win8 mode, starting from a desktop shortcut or taskbar shortcut opened in desktop mode.
Was this a change for the sake of change, or are there other benefits to this change that I'm overlooking?

seriously? no one noted that thanks to the drop of aero and the new desing windows is now much more power saver and fast?
any app that goes metro has a easier interface and can drop fancy effects like transparecy, that helps on performance.
converselly, the desktop mode has features not yet available to the "Windows 8" mode.
even my father can use the pc without asking for help every time a message pops up now

Nope, never noticed.
But then with a quad core and a GTX580 running at 100% utilisation 24/7 running background folding, it is obviously not something I tend to worry about. In fact, what carbon footprint, AMG Rocks!

The AMG does, indeed, rock, but I'll stick with the Range Rover (Westminster not Sport).

I've a I5 with a ATI card (not sure the model, it came with the notebook, but it has 1gb and 128bits (not a hardware guy myself, not sure if this numbers really matter)).
sometimes Win7 shows a strange bug where the entire screen stops responding to mouse, not even showing the animations. sadly, i found this bug in the win8 marketplace too

You completely missed Dave's point. He wasn't debating Windows 8. He was asking why they now had two modes that don't seem to offer anything over what was there before. Like Dave, I use Chrome on Windows 8 and it works perfectly, so why have they decided to offer these options which don't seem to make any difference whatsoever?
|
|
|
|
|
Phew, I was beginning to wonder if I had missed my own point!
|
|
|
|

I haven't upgraded Chrome yet - at least I don't think I have, it does have this tendency to do it so you don't notice. But it doesn't sound as though there's any substantial improvement in there.

Oooh shiny. I like the look of the new website permissions behaviour. That should make things a lot easier to manage.

i said desktop mode offers things metro doesn't offer right now. maybe it's issues with flash, maybe plugins in general or something else they are doing, but with desktop they have more resources than they have on (what it's called now? Modern?)
i'm not sure of what resources they're using, i'm no specialist, and after the update, i think i'm sticking with IE10. it's fast and i've a emotional attachment to IE, never liked when in 7 i was forced into chrome and firefox due to IE speed and flash bugs.
and i had enough of chrome own bugs, i wan't my old friends back, the IE bugs

And I was just about to complain that when I ran chrome yesterday after a fresh download/install on win2012 from the desktop with a 27 inch monitor that it went to Metro mode and took over the whole screen.
Edit: Hmm. Maybe that was some momentary glitch as its working now..

Hmmm, Thanks Mitt, our Olympics went fine.
How was your election campaign?
I see Obama has been given another four years.
Had he been white he would have got parole.
I woke up this morning to some great news from across the pond.
My annoying neighbours have put their house up for sale.
Over $3 Billion was spent on the U.S. political campaigns to tell the Americans how good each party is with money and debt.
Last result just in, 'Romney Holds Mordor'
Obama had an average of 20,000 supporters at every rally, Whereas Romney averaged 15,000, But as we know there was a good reason for that.
Romney's supporters were at work.
We all wondered 'Who will lead the world's most powerful nation for the next 4 years?'
My bet is Xi Jinping.

Donald 'Bald as a coot' Trump.
For all his billions he cannot stop his hair from falling out.
What a crap hair cut. He would be better off shaving it bald and looking cool than that travesty.
He could even afford a half decent wig or some implants.
Still, if he wants to look like a prick that is up to him.
He has a point though. You would think that having a vote where every vote counts would be more in the American tradition of democracy.
An absolute majority in the popular vote would be fairer and mean that there would be fewer anomalies.

An absolute majority for The Donald's sake would still mean Obama won. No doubt he'd moan about an absolute majority leaving people unrepresented and how the electoral college system safeguards against this.
We're fine ones to talk about every vote counting anyway. The weighting of UK votes is a bit like this:
Conservative: 1.8
Labour: 1.4
Lib Dem: 0.8
Anyone else: 0.0000005

There was a slight irony in my statement. I was just picking up on the American right's tendency to label Obama as a "degenerate atheist and socialist", despite the fact that his policies are closer to the Republican party of the 80s than today's GOP.
