I tried it; once you disable the Metro interface (which I didn't, since I actually like Metro) it's just a faster 7 with a Ribbon bar. Even that can be disabled. I'm using the dev preview on my netbook, but once the Consumer Preview comes out I'm installing it on there and my gaming PC.

I'd use Prism (trialware, but very good quality), Handbrake (just awesome, also works as a DVD ripper), or VLC (awesome all around).

WASD for life. I used to be a arrow keys person before I began playing TF2 a year or two ago, and then I realized just how many useful keys you can use with WASD. On my keyboard, it feels really natural and comfy.

According to their wiki, the Raspberry Pi is 1080p30 H.264 compliant, so I don't think it'll be a problem. I'm not expecting it to be able to decode a Blu-ray disk, though, so what I'm gonna do is store any movies that I want to watch from the device on my gaming PC (which is more than powerful...

Wait, I thought I already posted in this thread. Guess not. OS X for general computing on a laptop (word processing, media, web browsing, occasional media production), Windows 7 on a desktop and for anything else. I think that OS X is a much better laptop OS than Windows, and in any case it...

I'm just hoping they come out with the Raspberry Pi minicomputer by Christmas. I really want to make it into a streaming HTPC, and for $35? YES.

Basically what Jarred said, but the condition for this is that you have to use the same computer for this that you used for syncing the 3GS. What the above method does is it copies a list of all of the files and apps on the phone (and personalized stuff like save files or preferences) to the...

Psh, remember Confiker? That was one of the worst botnets in many years, and unless I'm mistaken we haven't seen the end of the world. Most botnets are run by idiots with too much free time on their hands, that's really what it boils down to.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that my signature is fine... :P Wow, I remember the time when we were allowed to have ridiculously large sigs that took up the entire width of the page... good times. Good times.

Damn, that looks impressive so far. Good luck getting every pony in there, though. At least once the source is done, though, you can just copy/paste it and change the necessary information to speed up development.

I'm very against this new bill. I mean, I support the reduction of piracy but the power that this bill can grant to corporations is absurd. Likewise, the entertainment industry is miniscule compared to other sectors, and it doesn't put much money in the economy. I'm very much against this.

I'm currently playing TF2 (forever a FaN), Battlefield 3 on the PC, Modern Warfare 3, Minecraft, and now Super Mario 3D Land. I have Halo Anniversary with me, so after I finish my homework tonight I'm powering up my 360 and playing.

Mario Kart 7, Skyward Sword, Halo Anniversary for me. Given as I have Anniversary, it's not so much "I want it so bad" but "I need to finish my work ASAP so I can play and go ooh at the shiny"
