Windows 10
in Tech
I'd stay far away from Windows 10 for the time being. Microsoft is openly considering switching to a platform as a service, pay per month/year for your security updates model.
That alongside the "one modular windows 10 for any area of application" sounds like a reliable, proven recipe for doom. Anyone remember blue screens on some kinds of ATMs, POS terminals and other insane applications where they thought using windows 95 and XP was a good idea?
Have a rummage around technet before you move to 10.

I tip my hat to your outstanding dedication, good sir!

No Sim City? And Railroad Tycoon? Those were the days.

For some people actually owning a license is a concern, though, fatality.

Please do excuse that messy original log, that was my bad. The issue is taken care of now though.

:o Did this come out of the OrdoDat?

Depends what kind of news you're looking at. Also, the man just died, it's going to take a few days until the real obituaries show up, the ones that paint balanced pictures.
Yes he was a visionary in the sense that he kept pursuing things everyone else thought were folly, which he then turned into successes. On the other hand he did have disingenuous tendencies as a business person. One example, getting a 5k USD cheque for a programming job Woz did, and paying him 500 USD, not mentioning the full sum he got. That was in the pre Apple days. And Apple has been one of the toughest and most unforgiving places to work at under Steve. But still most of the people who do are intensely passionate about working there, because of what they're working on.
Can't paint people in black and white.

I loved the original, one of my favorites at the time.

[08:51] (COM): Morh Giffen: Is our KOS policy on my little pony avatars in effect yet?
[08:51] (COM): Andriste Nesiote: No Morh.
[08:51] (COM): Andriste Nesiote: No it is not.
[08:52] (COM): Zero Itamae: That would be a fun policy though Morh :(
[08:58] (COM): Andriste Nesiote: Also Morh, the reason the pony KOS isn't in effect is that the My Little Sparkly Glue Factory isn't operational yet.

Push To Talk AND it's on by default - thank GOD

So he was actually portraying Rocky's girlfriend, and that at the end was him screaming "ADRIAAAAN ADRIAAAAN"?

Apparently he didn't get the set of aluminum rims he wanted for his birthday.....

Don't tell me Praetorians would need the title "Brother-Terminator xyz"
-
I was wondering about those... Brother-Chaplain, Brother-Captain, Brother-Sergeant etc.... What can I put in front of my Steam name, without upsetting the powers that be? I was already told Brother-Smartass is out of the question.

Besides bleeding gums you mean?

It's an awesome game, but let's not take it to the point where we sleep in Warhammer bed sheets, drink out of Warhammer mugs, and use Warhammer tooth brushes.

Man, I'm so gonna hire you to do my business correspondence

Some of the armor you unlock has detail that might be suitably turned light blue.
-
Example:
There are no leg pieces where the knee cap is colorable separately that I have unlocked yet. Same for the helmet - the pattern separates it into left and right half zones rather than face vs rest. Only the left shoulder pad allows application of a custom decal.
-
Mind, you can color each piece separately, and many have "patterns" you can show/hide & color. Throughout your multiplayer experience you also unlock different pieces of armor sets (different models that may or may not come with ornaments). Left and right pieces (shoulders, bracers, leg armor) are unlocked simultaneously but can be adjusted separately.
You can do some pretty cool stuff with the customizer that way, and there are sufficiently many options (models, colors, patterns) to allow for fairly unique armor combinations for any chapter out there.
-
So does Space Marine support any kind of clan/chapter system? Or do you just manually add the OI tag, and then use "invite friends" (does it use steam friends?) to your game?

No dead island on steam here -_-

I'd rather pay more for the OS itself than a subscription for bugs to be fixed that the same entity charging for the fixes let slip past in the first place. Ironically, Apple isn't directly charging for their OS or their office suite.
There needs to be more competition to Microsoft, shame that won't happen in a while.
