If you're bored and want to watch artificial idiocy at work this video is for you:

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

You can google the URL and find the youtube link. If you you dont click that either, it is 25 minutes about upper/lower-case-fonts + AI . Appears somewhat interesting, and a bit long.

What you have not run across those of us that are trolls, sarcastic bastards or just plain rude yet? Oh wait CM seems to have weeded most of them out and muzzled the rest of us so yeah it is a pleasant place to hang out.

Trolling ignorers is a lot more difficult!

No he has not. The OP needs to understand to wear his armor in the lounge. God knows I've learned. Even so, most of the "vitrole" is actually hilarious wit. Many of you are legendary.
Dear OP - yeah good group of poeple here, smart people. They will challenge you.

Epic is giving "The spectrum retreat" for free until next monday.
Looks like an interesting puzzle / thinking game.
One of the reviews:
Quote: Sure, it's no Portal, but I'm happy that I played it, despite the flaws.
The criticisms in the negative reviews are valid:
* the walking pace is slow
* there are some tedious repetitive elements
* the story is a bit formulaic
* the core puzzle mechanic starts to feel a bit monotonous
* some of the more interesting exploration puzzles are annoyingly spoon-fed to you
* there are some frustrating "soft locks" that force you to restart a puzzle
Some guys say it is between 6 and 10 hours to get through.
I am not sure I would buy it, but being free...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Glad to hear it. I was thinking I was alone and the industry had moved on from me.

I'm rewriting an winforms app I wrote several years ago in wpf. I've not been able to devote a lot of time to it though.

Tell me about it! In my 48 years of marriage I have remodeled 3 different homes, 2 in New Orleans and one in Charlotte, one of which I am living in as we speak. And I acted as the general contractor, using various subs to build oue "Dream" home, which I wish now that I had never left.
All of this, of course while working 40 to 50 hours a week trying to build my business, and raising a family. 
BTW: I got to meet Jimmy Page once. It was after Led Zepplin broke up. If you leave out the lead solo, I, like almost every other Guitar player of my era, can play "Stairway to Heaven". 
Never let your wife buy a house when you are not there to defend yourself.
