Re: Hip?

Nah, definitely StarFox (StarWing here in the UK). Carried big pylons and obelisks around Corneria for some unknown reason.

Re: 3 inch disc

I always think of it as: K is kind of a "square" letter and so it fits with the things that are square in appearance, i.e. hard disks and floppy disks (even though there is still a circular thing inside them, the bit you see is square/rectangular). Conversely, C is a "round" letter and so it fits with the things that are round in appearance, i.e. compact discs, digital versatile discs, blu-ray discs, etc.

Re: maths dont add

In the four weeks after Windows 8 launched, of all devices sold with some form of the Windows OS on them, 58% of them were Windows 8. The rest were Windows 7, Windows XP, etc.

At least I think that's what they're getting at.

Beer, because we should know better than to try and maths on a Friday.

Re: but it not on the 13th

Nope 13th in the UK, but it looks like it'll be 20:38 rather than 19:38.

I have a different live stream open (19:25 GMT at time of writing) and it has a countdown of about 1h 10 minutes displayed. Stay tuned!

Re: did you do for steps six through nine?

Originally it was:

5. Wait. Time passes.

6. Wait. Time passes.

7. Wait. Time passes. You are in danger of being eaten by a Grue.

8. Wait. Time passes.

9 Wait. Time passes.

But then they realised they could compress this.

"since that requires putting your existing router into it's DMZ, which won't accept a 192.168.1.x address"

Can't you set your router to use a non-reserved address, such as 192.168.3.x, and have your internal network as say 192.168.4.x?

No, because that's not his name.

Not officially patched...

...only in unofficial updates. The bug did have a knock-on effect as it wasn't discovered until after TFTD was released. When developing TFTD, one of the common change requests was "X-COM is too easy," (because of the bug, but they didn't know that) so they made TFTD's LOWEST difficulty setting the equivalent of what was X-COM's HIGHEST difficulty and went UP from there.

Great story, that.

And probably the most literal Deus ex Machina ever.

Square-Enix and fashion sense?

Having played Final Fantasy games, I can conclude these two items are most assuredly exclusive of one another.

Right-click toolbar, "Customise..." The stop and reload buttons amalgamate into the address box if they are directly to its right. Drag them to the left and they become separate buttons again. A lot of the UI changes can be removed, it's just not very obvious that you *can*.

Right click on the toolbar, "Tabs on top". Done!

Indeed, and the "dai" part stands for "number" in this context. Imaginatively named, aren't they?

All four carriages in a 450 are different (front and back might be the same) so you have different arrangements in each case (one has bike space, one has a first class section).

The carriages on a 444 are slightly longer (23m vs 20m) but a 12-car 450 is still longer overall.

They couldn't make the seats any bigger and encroach on the aisle because there wouldn't *be* an aisle (the width of the coach allows six "narrow" (450) seats, five "normal" (444) seats or four "wide (1st class) seats, one or two of which are missing to form the aisle in each case)
