The wonderful and sexy Kate O'Mara has died.
Never was there a better Baddie in Doctor Who.
The Rani was cracking, and I am sad that she will be unable to reprise the role.

The Saint
The Avengers
Department S
The Persuaders

The Brothers

Which one are we talking about?
Or maybe she did all of them, regarding all that time travelling nonsense and such.

I finally took the plunge and upgraded to 8.1. After getting rid of Metro, it's actually not that bad. File manager is a lot better than Windows 7 file manager. Of coarse, there's tonnes of things that don't work properly (hibernation, large fonts, etc.), but that's just the par of the coarse when you have a Microsoft OS.

Windows 7 removed the copy and paste buttons, and in Windows 8.1 they are back.

Two buttons... which I use *all* the time, so yes they are important.
But also, lots of other stuff, the ui just seems to be organised much better

You use buttons "all" the time when Ctrl + C/V is all you need?

And if he doesn't want to use his other hand, then after selecting files and/or folders, right-click and select the "Copy" menu item, followed by right-clicking in the destination location and selecting the "Paste" menu item. It only takes one hand and there is no need to navigate the mouse to a button location.

you need two hands to activate the shortcut, so you have to take your hand off the mouse and that slows you down. Really there's no reason no to have a toolbar button. It's not like there's no room
|
|

|

Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V are one-handed (left-hand) shortcuts unless you have particularly small hands. Pinky on Ctrl, forefinger on C then V. I can do Ctrl-N left-handed without discomfort.
|
|
|
|
|
it's still handy to have the toolbar buttons though
|
|
|
|
|
I just use ctrl-ins/shift-ins with my right hand (I drive my mouse with my left hand to avoid carpal tunnel issues). Thankfully, they haven't take away all the keyboard shortcuts... yet.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

I'd forgotten about those.

Remember, windows is for the masses, not just the power users. Otherwise we would all just be called users.
Personally I actually enjoy a lot of windows 8 (Except NewUI which I find stupid on my dev machine!) But they have improved a lot of system functionality. Saying that though, I really really miss the prettiness of Windows 7. I want my transparency options back.

They don't work in all cases. It depends on what you are viewing. I have run into situations where Copy/Paste work when invoked via Edit on the Menu bar, right clicking and select from the Context list and Ctl C/V with standard vanilla text situations or only one or two of the three work or none work. There have been instances of wanting to copy a few lines (such as a tip) from a web page where none of them worked and I end up going to the "source" and copying from there.

I'm more impressed by the improved disk I/O performance, and progress display personally.
Hadn't even noticed those buttons.
