There's a slight ridge between me and the lake so no. Can you see the Man Spire of St Joseph's or the Lady Dome of Holy Names?
- Hayes Haugen
I think dome is visible halfway between the two clumps of tall buildings. I am guessing that spire is in front of the tall building on the right. Zoom in all the way and let me know what you think.
- Gary Burd
I think so. They are on the same street which is roughly parallel to the bridge. I'm going to go climb up on the spire and shoot my laser pointer your way. Give me 10....

His assertion is "Why an <img> element? Quite simply, because Marc Andreessen shipped one, and shipping code wins." At least in this case.

But he does allow that: "[Shipping] Code is necessary but not sufficient for success."

I saw the WWW before the IMG element. It didn't look promising. I wonder what would have happened if it had taken longer for graphics to be embeddable in HTML.

Glass Onion isn't on Beatles Rock Band (or maybe I just haven't unlocked it or something). I like that song
- Benjamin Golub
Benjamin, How is Beatles Rock Band? Do you recommend it?
- Gary Burd
I've only played it a few times so far but it's been a lot more fun than the original Rock Band. In the original nobody really ever wanted to sing or play the bass but both are fun in the Beatles version because everyone knows these songs already. It's also not terrible to play alone if you are a big Beatles fan because there is a lot to unlock. I got bored of that after one session but playing it with Megen is fun.

Are there any reasons to switch from OS X to Windows 7?
AJ Batac, Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF, Susan Beebe and 8 other people liked this
the best reason sounds like trying to buck the trend; Why would you change?
- Rob Schonberger
If you became a .NET developer, that might be a good reason. However, if you are running OS X, that means you've probably got a Mac, so you can always run both or use Bootcamp, right?
- Cristo
Installing drivers.
- Hayes Haugen
Games? Exchange? Win 7 seems to run well in VMware fusion.
- Jim Norris
Video games are the only reason I could think of. But I just keep a Windows desktop in the office and use it only for gaming for that purpose; using it on a regular basis probably wouldn't increase my happiness.
- Bret Taylor
Windows Media Center - that's the only reason I use Windows nowadays
- Jesse Stay
If I had a Mac, I'd dual boot, of course. I do that anyway with my PCs using Windows and Ubuntu.

Also, if you use Quicken Home and Business Windows is your only option (I don't like QuickBooks for small business)
