"Yes, because why try and risk new user interfaces when we have perfectly good tech right now? Let's just keep doing the same things over and over again, forever and ever, with no improvement or change at all except perhaps for more speed, but not *much* more, harrumph! And get out of my lawn! Gee, kids these days..." - Alexander Gieg

"The other day I found a YouTube channel with lots of mashups of different videogames. None is a real game (the author isn't a programmer), but all are awesome and a few of them could work if implemented. Maybe you could draw inspiration from them for some cool new projects? Here's one of my favorites (Link in PacMan maze): https://www.youtube.com/watch?..." - Alexander Gieg

"No, they don't. Windows ME was the last version that run on top of DOS. Windows 8 is derived from Windows NT, which was developed in parallel with DOS+Windows (NT stands for "New Technology", meaning "no DOS"). Internally Windows 8 is actually "Windows NT 6.2", and this is the actual sequence: 2000 = NT 5.0 XP = NT 5.1 Vista = 6.0 7 = 6.1 8 = 6.2" - Alexander Gieg

"If you're a heavy Microsoft user, SkyDrive due to MS Office integration. If you're a heavy Google user, Google Drive due to Google Docs integration. And if you're a heavy everything else user, Dropbox due to being integrated in tons of 3rd party applications and sites out there. Finally, there's Ubuntu One for Ubuntu users with several machines, and Box.net for heavy corporate use." - Alexander Gieg

"LOL, yes, good argument, and for once the sarcasm worked: you caused me rethink and change my position. Thanks! :)" - Alexander Gieg

"I already have the game from the bundles (twice I think). I'd be interested in the art book and such but not in repurchasing the game. Here's a suggestion: offer those of us who already own the game an option to purchase only the "new extra extras". For $1 I'd surely get them. Not for (as of now) $2.64 though." - Alexander Gieg

"Thank you very much!" - Alexander Gieg

"Which is why you never, ever, hear about what they didn't appro... oh, wait!" - Alexander Gieg

"Back when I played World of Warcraft, I used to half joke it was a very nice OS. Anyone who was as much into customizing their gaming with 3rd party addons as I were would agree. You could get almost a fully functional desktop experience out of it if you so wished, and a very finely tuned one at that." - Alexander Gieg

"As if it has infinite temperature. It'll transfer all of its energy to you as if you were colder than it, no matter what your starting temperature was. As a result you'd get hotter. How much hotter, of course, depends on how much energy the originating object had stored to give away. Now, since negative temperature objects are VERY tiny (so far), you'd most probably feel nothing (one or two atoms in your finger would shake slightly faster for a few milliseconds). But if a big one existed, and had enough energy stored in it, it could presumably burn anything it touched thoroughly, and then its ashes, and then the melted ashes, and then the resulting plasma, and keep going, no end in sight." - Alexander Gieg

"There's a 3rd party software called "RetroUI" or somesuch that does that, forcing full-screen metro apps to run in windowed mode. I'm not using Win8 yet, but I can see myself purchasing it (or perhaps Stardock's Start8) once I switch." - Alexander Gieg
