It seems like that is just a list of android games.

There are a handful of Android TV only titles, but nearly everything that runs on Android TV also runs on Android, but not the other way around.

Well not all Android apps run on Adroid TV, but actually most of them do work if you sideload them. Sometimes the controls can get lost if the apps only work for touch screen devices. I have sideloaded alot of apps and most android apps do work on Android TV.

I'm in town waiting for my friend to get off work.

Make sure you get some real beer while you're in-state.

He only drinks Fireball. It is sickening.

Check out Block-chain certificates. It was proposed as a means of fixing some of these issues you are bringing up.

That's almost a workable idea. The big problem with bitcoin currently is the massive size of the block chain, if they could work around that, great!

Doesn't that have a compression part where things kinda fall off, but can be verified as still valid without holding 100% of the data?

Not that I know of. Most people that just use bitcoin to save/spend don't need the block chain at all, the server for the storage end of it takes care of that. If you're mining, or keeping your own on a personal computer, then you need the entire thing.

Wow, did not see this when it originally happened. That's a great story!

We should bring some discipline into this

@momurda said in E-Mail Disclaimers:

Some industries require them due to law; ie financial firms you need to put in some sort of disclaimer at the bottom of every email. Gets quite annoying when reading a long email chain, with ten nested disclaimers.

But not this kind of disclaimer. There is no law that says you have to include a false disclaimer.

Gnaarrr.. this is causing headache. Just thought about a student lesson: "Ladys and gentlemen, please create an array of ushort with a total size of 4 KiB".

And rain. 🙂

Me too.

Look at those long legs!

@garak0410 I've not watched the TV show, but I've read the books and they're really good.

Season 1 does the books justice while adding some things to it...Season 1 is worth a look. Blake is involved in Season 2 as a creative consultant, so it is still his baby of sorts but so far..."eh"...

We are having a baby tomorrow. The c-scheduled for tomorrow morning. We have to be at the hospital at 5am.

Two kids under 2. Life is going to be crazy.

Best of luck to you and your spouse. May tomorrow come to a close with smiles, joy and good health to both mother and baby.

As for the two kids under 2,... Try having twins....Its kinda why I look like:

I don't know how you handle twins!

One bottle of Tylenol and Fireball at a time....

Speaking of that. It is funny that you mention whiskey. My son had bad toothaches and we tried all the baby crap on the market for toothpain. Some older people suggested we try putting whiskey on his gums. That worked so well, I wish we would have tried it months before we did.

That is what my grandmother did to us.

Whatever works, right?

Edit: I wonder if this works for adults with problem teeth.

I am willing to sacrifice myself to find out. Donations to my cause are happily accepted.

Well,.. we'll need at least two people.. or more to make sure the results are not skewed... But @IRJ will have to be the control.

Looks like a typing software..

I learned to type on green terminals in school. Hit print screen to print to the dot matrix with the prerated paper stuff.

Wow, I learned how to type on an electric typewriter. There was a room in our school with something 40 of them.. damn that room was loud!

I still don't type properly which is why I'm only at 86 wpm. Never broke 100.

Actually "proper" typing slows you way down. The fastest typers don't follow the "high school rules" of typing. Those rules were built for the typing pool on manual typewriters in the 1920s. They don't apply to keyboards of the last forty years.

Without proper typing I was 48 wpm on a manual in seventh grade. 68 wpm on an electric in eighth grade. Way over 100 by nine grade on a computer.

@Dashrender What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

my AV equipment is in a remote location to viewing area.

I want to put a monitor where the viewing equipment is so I can make changes, updates and see that the output is working without having to go back to the viewing room each time I make a change.

So this will be a temporary setup? Just to confirm everything is working?

I'm willing to buy a $100 mini monitor to leave in the AV rack permanently.

Look on Amazon or eBay for a Lilliput HDMI monitor should do what you need

Not that MS hasn't been screwing the pooch with this whole GWX BS... but damn this is just ridiculous!!!!

I buy our old computers and nuke/pave them back to factory and donate them to the local women's charity (just happened to be the closest one to my house).

edit: I don't ask for a tax receipt or anything, though maybe I'll inquire next time.

Been working all day today. I am tired and my in box will never recover, neither will my butt.
