avast has more features than mse, but mse has a cleaner interface and seems a little lighter. They are both good and can see why one might prefer avast.

I was speaking to a lady earlier, who rebooted the computer everytime I asked her to open an application or window.

The two-minute turnaround by Geminii27in talesfromtechsupport

[–]bwat47 2 points3 points ago

Yep, if its automated its like they didn't even hear it. For example, I do DSL tech support. If we have a large outage we will put up an automated message letting everyone know there is an outage in the area, that we are currently working to fix it, and an ETA if we have one.

So naturally, we get immediately get a shitload voicemail messages saying "OMG IS THERE AN OUTAGE?!?!!!" "HEY MY INTERNET STOPPED WORKING!!!" (And to leave a voicemail you have to listen to the whole automated message beforehand)

I was pretty conflicted when it came to the first witcher, the story was was top notch, but the game engine was a piece of garbage and the combat kind of sucked.

Witcher 2 is simply amazing though :)

In the US on larger interstates/highways there is usually a min speed limit posted under the max.

Today my girlfriend told me that she would never have kids with a guy with tattoos because she doesn't want her kids born with the tattoos of the father, as if they were passed genetically.

I've never had a full on migraine with pain, but I do get what you describe occasionally (I've seen them called ocular, silent, or visual migraines). Even without the pain they are extremely uncomfortable and pretty much render me useless for the duration.

Windows 8 will come with Adobe Flash built-in. Yes, really. by KrisCraigin technology

[–]bwat47 6 points7 points ago

most windows installs have flash anyway, and many users don't update it. I think this is probably better for security overall, because at least windows 8 flash users should be automatically up to date.

I take it you've never used the minimize button? Or opened a window over another window?

Is Google Chrome any better than Firefox? by brodie268in AskReddit

They did it to roll out features faster/more consistently, instead of shoving them all in a giant release. Firefox fell WAY behind the other browsers with 3.x during 4.0's absurdly long vista-esq dev cycle. The 'version numbers' may possibly be a small part of the reasoning for the new release cycle, but certainly not the reason they decided to change it like people keep insinuating...

I think the new release cycle has definitely benefited firefox, we get performance improvements and new features much more often now.

What myths about health/body are people the most stubborn about holding on too, despite the lack of any evidence to support them? by BriMcCin AskReddit

[–]bwat47 1 point2 points ago

I've had "ocular migraines" before, and just the visual symptoms were pretty bad and made me totally miserable for the duration. I can't even imagine a full on migraine with the pain AND the visual symtoms.

Saw an article on Kotaku about modding the PC version of FF7 with significant graphical updates. This is the result. by tshamnerin gaming

I doubt it will actually be 35 gigs, I think people are just looking at the system requirements and taking it literally. The system requirements for hdd space are generally higher than how big the game actually is.
