Couldn't get it to recognize the "look of disapproval" character :-(

Great job. Needs a "pause" button IMO.

Very true. I still have a cheap USB hub in translucent plastic from the Imac First Generation era.

Back in the 90's they also included a TCP/IP stack into Win95, which used to be a (horrible) 3rd party app on Win3.1.

Hi Mike, thanks for your kind offer!

We have an old Windows XP machine that I would like to replace with a newer Windows 7 one. However, my wife is used to the old machine; in particular she has Internet Explorer manage all her auto-complete's and username/passwords for different sites she uses.

I looked around for tools to at least copy the passwords to the new machine but 1) Microsoft says it's not supported 2) the unofficial tools all look super-sketchy.

Any ideas of how to transplant the auto-completes and passwords to a new machine?

I wouldn't say that the articles' metadata (URL, title, date of download, maybe thumbnail of the 1st page) is downloaded content. It's clearly user-generated, and should be in the "home" of the app IMHO.

The articles themselves, yes, send them to the cache. If the user needs to reclaim the storage used up by the articles, let the OS delete them. Then, when the user needs to read the article again, it will take some time to download. But don't get into an "all articles gone" situation. Just my 2 cents.

I can totally believe it, we went with the family once to visit/snoop around the Google campus, but if Eric Schmidt or Larry Page had showed up, I don't think I would have recognized them. (And we use Google products every day.)

My recommendation is to take your lumps and move on.

Can you convince your parents to support you for a couple of years until you get your high school diploma and start college? Go into some money-making career that they approve of if needed. Once in college, you can start networking and planning your next move.

Just make them feel like you are back to being a good citizen and that you will go back to earn your keep once you have your college degree.

Oh, and tell your so-called "friends" to go pound sand.

Thanks. I thought it was some Buddhist syllable.

Like the blog post says, "poor design ruins lives"... that silly font already costed me 3 downvotes.

Please enlighten an uninitiated: what does "mo" mean in the last panel?

Or maybe they underestimated the cost of the loss of customer goodwill the split would cause vs the cost of the "underlying cause".

I think you misspelled 'amirite'. Also, yesterday's APPL fall was like 6%. Right on all remaining points.
