I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago, problem was the NVIDIA video driver that had failed to install. At the next reboot, I could see the start menu, but it was unaware of mouse clicks.
A successfull installation/update of the video driver solved the issue.
How comforting it is to know all strategies that MS deploys to keep us aware that there was a problem somewhere!
You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

They hired (3000 * seconds to handle image) cheap Chinese workers to handle the images manually?

 but they do get involved in strikes , union revolts etc. Which will live past server timeouts!
Starting to think people post kid pics in their profiles because that was the last time they were cute - Jeremy.

For those who have not been with us (which you may interpret in a number of equally valid ways) for the past two weeks the puzzlemaster of the week presents the lyrics of a song from a popular beat combo or singer in the form of a code snippet. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is simply to name that tune.
Dim Actions As New List(Of String) From {"Find", "Be Loved", "Kiss"}
While Life And Wrongs.Count > 0
If DoThis(Actions(0)) Then
If DoThis(Actions(1)) Then
If DoThis(Actions(2)) Then
MsgBox("IN CAELO")
End If
End If
End If
End While

An Eagles number, I suspect!

I suspect that it was a lot more Joe Walsh than Eagles.

He's not listed on the writing credits: just Felder, Henley, and Frey.
His guitar work make it work though.

Most of the album was more like a Walsh album -- in fact, most of the tracks are nothing like Eagles tracks.

That could explain why it sold so well!

Yup. Even I bought it.
Buying vinyl albums was always such a satisfying thing to do.
Fings ain't wot they used to be.

I've still got four or five feet of vinyl in the spare room. 
One day, I must buy another deck to play them...(maybe USB and MP3 'em at the same time if it wasn't so slow)

Really worthwhile, though.
I did my collection a few years ago. It took months, but it gave me the chance to remember why I used to like a lot of bands.

I bought a lot of it over again on CD and backed that up to MP3 - so my MP3 collection is now some 130GB and 32K tracks...
But Vinyl had that "real" sound, and I do miss that sometimes.

I am trying the new Master of Orion game.
And I find it much less appealing that the original Master of Orion II
Part of it, certainly, is the novelty / learning curve....
However.. sometimes novelty is a welcome change in a stalling game...
No, in this case I thing they made things harder...
I might be over criticizing but it's very clear on the planetary building screen
In the original Master of Orion II you had you queue in the middle and all items on the right, everything at a glance.
In the new one, to build a new item you click on a button, which show a popup hiding the previous screen, choose some items, then close it.
if you made a mistake, you must close the window, remove the item from the queue, open the dialog again, yadaa yadaa.... such a convoluted workflow...
And these people (hopefully? obviously?) played MoO2, why unstreamlined what was an easy option?
And while it doesn't seem like much I think it turns what was a deceptively simple game into a real complicated one... 
As for the title, when I saw that, in a knee-jerk reaction I though "bloody designer" (as in a designer did the game specification and the well meaning and intelligent and actively testing developer must follow them despite that he obviously realize its foolishness!) but after calming down I think it might be more an effect of design by committee...

Hereby I christen this ship on the name Unsinkable II!
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

...original Master of Orion II actually replaced each little part of the original Master of Orion I until the original was completely replaced thus the Master of Orion II became the original...

It's a pleasure to play (when you turn off the "Space monsters" option).
