I have some software concepts that would be great to run on Linux, but Wine doesn't seem to play nice for me. It's easier to sell a product to someone on a machine that costs $150 without an OS charge of $100 on top of it. Especially when the software runs autonomously. I keep trying from time to time though lol. Cuz if I can get it, I'll be in good shape!

Of course, I could just learn to code in whatever the heck Linux recognizes.

Pretty impressed with the engineering sample of this we got. Not sure what you used it for, but the Windows 8.1 version is ~$150 and runs 1920x1080 adobe air apps with some 3d elements and h264 video pretty alright. You're not going to use it for gaming but it's damn nice. I think the Android version is $100.

Windows 8 is a complete piece of shit, imo.

I spent a CRAP LOAD of money getting my wife a new Dell touch screen. It could be Dell, but I DOUBT IT.

P O S

fucking hate it.

Posted on my ancient windows 7 desktop that always works perfectly. HAS to be at least 3 years old, which is like 50, in tekkie years.

Your favorite website admin is a developer and has zero issues developing on Windows 7 or 8. I'm going to assume your developer friend uses a lot of 3rd party controls instead of their own code. Which is one reason I despise 3rd party controls and won't use them. They are too unpredictable.

As for your Dell, it is Dell that's the problem. Those vendors install tons of crap ware that kill your system.

And I do thank Bill Gates and recognized years ago that if it weren't for his innovation, I'd still be doing General Labor work for a living. I lucked out into a valuable skill/talent or whatever one may call it.

I think that icon is allowing you to reserve a early spot in line to receive the 3GB download. The release is July 29th. I'll be upgrading my workstation at home, but not my two media PC's because Microsoft are jerks and removed Windows Media Center software. And I use that to record TV shows.

Yes, you are my favorite website admin.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I'm assuming he was solid go on Windows 7 and when upgraded, went do-do. I am often given crap for how many programs I have running at the same time and my Windows 8 machine holds up perfect, but at work my Windows 7 machine needed to be ramped up to 12GB of ram. Hopefully he gets that ironed out though. Sluggish OS is dogcrap city and frustrating.

And thanks. Is that cuz I'm the only one you know that hasn't banned you permanently? lol

Oh, no... you have a beautiful site. Best one going. Ever seen x4 website...that might be the worst one I've ever seen. Packerrats ain't much better. This one is the gold standard in my eyes.

Double oh...I'm sure you'll ban me, permanently, one day not too far off. I'll enjoy it while it lasts. I can still read when I'm stripped of access.

All you people bitching about Windows 8 should just do a little reading and see you can download windows 7 shell which for the most part turns your laptop or desktop into the old windows 7 style you are used to. I hated going thru all the aps in 8 and then Best buy actually suggested classic shell and thats what i use

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Mucky Tundra (5h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (7h) : HUMP DAY

beast (7h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (8h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (8h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (8h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (8h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (8h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (8h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (8h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (8h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (10h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (10h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (10h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (10h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (10h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (10h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (23h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
