I've been trying to teach some chickens to swim. Swim in very hot water. Hot water with onions, carrots, beans and pasta.
Okay, I made chicken soup.

Simple to do once you realize that "There is no road"

Actually, in a better chicken world, the chickens, by natural selection (we are running over the slow ones, right?), will be able to stop the car (as will armadillos).

Well, the armadillos are already bullet-proof.

Well, if they aren't by now, they will be. Most of the south west US seems to be selecting toward either faster armadillos, or better armor. I dread the day when fast armored armadillos crash through walls like rolling cannonballs.

Why would that make that world "better"?
[Edit] Oh, I see - if we no longer got these stupid jokes, indeed that would be a better world...ok, count me in.

Well, OK, I have to ask: WTE is this all about ? I see this post now and then, and still haven't figured out what it is.
Maybe that's part of the trip. Well, let's report it a abusive spam, just to be sure.

One word or phrase leads to the next; you could circle the standalone words/phrases, and they would intersect with the next ones.

Mmhh... maybe with an exemple ?

I saw this elsewhere (bottom of the page)[^] and figured it'd be something someone here was likely to run into too.
Quote: I was wondering why my TortoiseSVN folder overlay icons weren't showing up after upgrading to Windows 10. After some digging, I discovered that Windows 10 can only handle 15 such icons at any one time.
If you aren't familiar, the icons I'm talking about are the little tick icons that appear on synced folders when you use programs like Dropbox or Google Drive.
This means there's a hard limit on the number of these kinds of programs you can use before the icons fail to display and you don't know what states any of your files are in.
OneDrive (formerly Skydrive) is such a program, and it not only comes bundled with Windows 10, but it cannot be uninstalled from Windows 10 without jumping through some absurd hoops.
So about half a dozen of these folder overlay slots taken from near the start of the list that are used up, even if you never use OneDrive, and it can prevent icons from your other programs from showing up.
In order to get around this limit, you need to go into the registry and manually rename all the icons[^] to appear before the OneDrive icons.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

The overlay icon limit isn't new in Windows 10. I had similar problems on Windows 7 with SkyDrive, Groove and TFS fighting to display their overlay icons.
