Gues what the virtual assistant is going to be called?
Based on CNET's preview, this might be what Windows 8 should be.

I would like to wish Mizunashi Akari-san, born 30 January 2286, a very happy birthday.  Due to her personality, she'll have happiness even without my good wishes, but still....

  Brooklyn Superhero Supplies
Posted by: Dartz - 01-30-2015, 04:02 AM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (2)

So, apparently this shop really exists. They even have proper outfitting - including a wind-tunnel for caps, and tinker-tech for those so disposed. Almost worth the price of a return transpondian flight.

  Specialized on-line encyclopedias?
Posted by: robkelk - 01-30-2015, 02:39 AM - Forum: General Chatter - No Replies

We all know about the general encyclopedias and wikis, but how many good-quality specialized reference works are out there?

I'm asking because I learned about a very specialized one today: http://www.parli.ca/]Parli, the online encyclopedia of Canadian political terms.

Full statement by Mr. Petty at the end of the article.

Now if only other songwriters and performers were so reasonable...

  Bubblegum Crisis Fansite....
Posted by: Dartz - 01-29-2015, 01:49 AM - Forum: Other People's Fanfiction - Replies (4)

Found and recovered from the depths of the internet.

Yours Truly, 2032

Done the old fashioned way. Off a home computer with an internet connection. And sure so it looks like it. But, for the time being, it seems to work. I have no idea how long it'll remain that way, and I'll have to get to work on cleaning up and updating it..... but for the time being, there's at least one more Bubblegum Crisis fansite in the world.

EDIT: And I'll be amazed if it hasn't fallen over again in the morning

  Okay, this is just silly, but I have to share it...
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 01-28-2015, 10:50 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (5)

... with people who would appreciate it.
On my way to a Panera to get my lunch about two hours ago, I walked by a gourmet grocery that had a sign out on the sidewalk, the kind with the plastic letters you put into the message you want.  And either because of carelessness, or because of someone with a sense of humor similar to mine, it read "CALL US TO PLAN YOUR SUPERB OWL PARTY".
And gods help me, all I could think of was walking in and saying to someone behind a counter, "I have this barn owl that I think is really fantastic, and I'd like to throw a big shindig in its honor..."
(And then running like hell, of course, as fast as my 52-year-old knees would let me.)
