Unfortunately, Marc, the decisions are being made 'high up' by the enlightened ones. A common man's opinions aren't going to matter.

Now I wonder how feasible it'd be to start a common man's political party - oh, wait a minute!

Does this mean that the US Navy is going to out-source for sailors to man their own ships?

Eventually, who knows? After all, we "outsourced" a lot of the Iraq war to the private sector.

Not at all. The contract sailors would keep looking for the hill at the end of the ship...

This is interesting to me, because I just bought an aircraft carrier too. I wonder if I got as good of a deal as they did. Maybe I'm having buyer's remorse now. I mean when you drop $500 million on your very own aircraft carrier you want to know you got the best one and the best deal. Hmmmm... where'd I put that receipt?

Yesterday i brought her her new laptop on which i installed Windows 8.1. (She had XP till then)
The first question was:
"Does this Website still work like before?"
i smiled
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

I don't have Windows 8 on any machines however I have watched some tutorials and am aware that webbrowsers in metro mode do not(or did not) have flash enabled on them - so using a browser in panel mode as opposed to desktop mode may mean that a website does not work like before.
However this may have been fixed.

Is enabling Flash really considered to be a fix?

Which explains the push to make our desktop experience just like the browser experience.

Doesn't explain it to me. It's great to have the grandparents onboard, but the younger generation is a much bigger user pool and they don't need a browser experience to use their devices.

Can someone tell me why, when you tell users to do things like:
- open windows Explorer
- in the screen the appears, navigate to folder "x"
- Run Word, click on "Open" and navigate to your document.
and then they act like deer in headlights, they almost always say "well I'm not a techie/compter expert, etc..." in a sarcastic tone??
When the mechanic tells them to check their oil in their car, do they say "well I'm not a mechanic/car expert"?
Sheesh. Is it too much to expect someone who uses a computer/car/appliance on a regular basis, to actually know something about what they're using?

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}

The Internet will forever know of the shotgun that took 44 minutes to pull out and fire.

Maybe a few screenshots in written instructions would help?
