How did it take them 80 years to find a bomb in a back yard? Is it a large yard? Was the bomb buried?

OFF THE TOP ROPE!

Is that all it does? Is HP so backwards that they introduce a whole new attack surface just to store a date stamp?

…Actually don’t answer that.

There’s no way this would have been admissable as evidence on its own.

They’ve been separate desktop environments from the start. From top to bottom they share nearly nothing. The compositors, window managers, toolkits and shells are all different.

They also are ideologically opposed. If they merged, which direction would they go? The more feature-rich KDE? Or the more streamlined Gnome? Such a merger would lead to infighting and stagnation.

This is before even talking about the actual code underlying both environments.

I think it’s better for everyone if they stay as two separate projects.

Cisco might have something to say about that name.

Are there at least two front facing cameras for depth perception?

My guess is that some genres are going to be more problematic due to more extensive use of anti cheat. What are some of the games you’re having trouble with?

This kills the universe.

Well… if you want most of the main story but without the gameplay, someone had made a movie out of the cutscenes awhile back.

I ended up quitting on the final boss. Partly because I was gut punched by an unexpected plot point just prior. But also because it was the third big fight since the last save point and I got lost on the mechanics. I caught the ending through the movie I found.

Also, the other good Ion Storm game, Anachronox.

I haven’t played it in 20 years and still remember some great moments.

Wyatt was pulled to safety by a team from the Grand Canyon National Park, who rappelled down a cliff after deciding a helicopter rescue would not be possible due to the terrain.

If this were a plot point in a movie, I would have called it a contrived excuse to have the heroes scale a rock wall.

“One point twenty one jigawatts!”

Obligatory xkcd

I get the reasoning for excluding wine and beer, but flour?

If I remember correctly, there’s already a system tray icon that lets you adjust volume on your current devices. The extension adds the ability to switch devices from that drop down instead of drilling into the settings app.

I feel like vanilla GNOME is intentionally a barbones common workflow, and that extensions are how you customize to fit your needs.

For example, I often switch between desktop speakers and headphones (where the dongle is always connected), and sometimes other audio devices. I installed the sound input/output chooser so I i don’t have to go into Settings every time I need to switch inputs. It saves me multiple clicks. But I get that not everyone needs immediate access to change audio devices, so why clutter the UI?

I’ve used both vanilla GNOME and the post-Unity Ubuntu spin on it. In either case I’ve grown accustomed to the Activities screen, quickly accessing it pressing the Super key, and using it to switch windows and manage full screen apps on different monitors.

Agreed, but at least it’s not as bad as it was.
