ConTEXT?

I use NotePad++, and on a non-programming point I particularly like the plugin to copy code to the clipboard with the highlighting colour intact.

But does anyone anyone use ConTEXT these days?

I remember smellyvision in the 80's...

Thumb Up

Re: we don't need *that* much processing power

Well Apple have patents for head tracking technology, so why not?

I've travelled at hyperspeed

On my way home the other night in the snow. The effect is pretty cool at 60mph on a dark country road.

Application Permissions

Sounds a bit like the permissions on my Android when I install a new app. To be honest I rarely read the updated permissions, I'm sure I'm in the majority. I would expect the permissions to be very clear in Windows 8. How does that affect all the current programs out there?

Dungeons and Dragons

Dungeons and Dragons, without a doubt for me. Nothing like the kids TV show I remember, I should have trusted my instincts at the video shop looking at the cover. Pure shit, no wonder it went straight to video. Starship Troopers 2 was pure crap as my second, again a shit film cashing in on something else's name.
