I just started playing Minecraft with my 8 year old son, and it's kind of addicting building stuff. At least I have a reason to use the new tablet I just bought, instead of turning it into an electronic paper weight, like my other ones.

I guess I get the Lego reference, and I can see how that could be addictive. Thank you. I feel less old.
Now the notion of building the UK in Lego/Minecraft seems even more neat for some reason.

Give it a decent go. I tried it for 5 mins, thought that it was mindless and gave up.I tried it again a few weeks later in survival mode - and was addicted for the next few months, just the idea of building something up I suppose.
The map of Britain isn't up to much: the scale is wrong so 1 block (supposedly 1 cubic meter in game) seems to be roughly 100m x 100m on the horizontal plane real world, but the vertical scaling is nowhere near that. Go to the lake district and it look more like the Alps. That said, the thing was done by someone on placement with the OS, so a pretty cool project nonetheless.

One of the best Hockey and sport photographer (of his era) died today.
He was the official Montréal Canadien Hockey team photographer.
He is the father of one of the best Hockey goalkeeper, Martin Brodeur.

But after the yet to come update
SELECT commonSense FROM ms
Some records might have been found. Or not.

Wow, I believe when I reported this yesterday it had only 297 up votes or perhaps in the 300's It now has 586. Hmmm, Can we get this over 1000?

And, while they're in there, add a toggle to let it just go ahead and ignore the damn thing and truncate the data. At a minimum, that'll show us where the prob

Really? That'll do it? Cool.
I'm forever forgetting to take CRLFs into account in memo fields and have users who just ramble on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

Bill Gates: Control-alt-delete a mistake[^]
"This video is NSFW only in the sense that your boss will eventually say, “For God’s sakes, are you going to do something today or just listen to Bill Gates prattle on?”"

So why do they not fix it???? (CTR/ALT/DEL)

It's weird he qualify it as a mistake.
It has become one of the ultimate archetype of Windows.
Some people say that it is safer than a single key-click. (I kind'a agree with that).

I imagine some within Microsoft would disagree.
It's secure. It's one of the few combinations other apps cannot catch, even with a keylogger. It's something that programmers can't block using a normal application. It is the ultimate way of closing a CPU-hogger on a single-CPU machine.
