No, I don't have a coat. 
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

So who's going to get his coat now?

Next to = ALONGSIDE
hypotenuse = A LONG SIDE
Nice one!

Not an answer (too few letters - I'm assuming alongside has it) but the same clue can be used for "adjacent".

or "Acute Angle" even.
Then he could expand it to:
Next to hypotenuse find one endearing fisherman without any rights. (5,5)

------- B is a 90o (or Right) Angle, so A and C (which are next to the hypotenuse) are Acute Angles (Less than 90o by definition) since they must add up to 90o

I think Agent__007's angle on this was obtuse.

I was trying to make a joke!

-> "Acute Angle"
But no, that answer was not wide, it was perfectly inclined with your clue.

Ah. I missed it because I gave you the answer before I gave you the clue...

Reading reviews looks like a lot of people are sckeptical and pissed.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

All the crap I've seen thus far about Windows Threshold has been just that - crap. Nothing substantive has come out of Microsoft. All of the industry 'pundits' have been stroking themselves heavily, quoting and re-quoting each other.
Sooner or later the bloody thing will go beta, and then we'll know.

I really wasn't pointing anything out in the article. Basically just pointing the finger at the "Windows 9" part that caused him to bust a nut.

I can hear it now,"the POS doesn't work like Windows 8!".

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

But why? Did they not make enough money with Windows 8 Fingerpaint Edition? I could have told them that five year olds do not have enough cash in their pockets.
Still, it's no reason to come back. Just like with Win 7, they will be nice now and then come back with 'take it or leave it' again for Win 10. I let them tell me that only twice: For the first and the last time.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

I'm with you... I don't do touchscreen, I don't do tablet; I do computer. If they can't figure that out, I'm adopting the penguin; penguins are cute, and useful, unlike anything from Microsoft since Win7, and even that was a downgrade from XP.
