    The Macbook Trackpad in OSX is hands down the best trackpad on the planet. No competition. Under Windows, it's not quite as good.

    Do you mean you already have data on there? In which case you could delete it or just deal with it. There's not much difference, to be honest, apart from much faster graphics on the new one.

    By all means, you might need Windows for some things (yes, games. Although all of Valve's Source games run on Mac, if you're interested in those) - I'm not being a Mac zealot at all, I just hate it when people get a mac and only use Windows. They would be better off just getting a Windows system in the first place.

    If you want, you should still be able to return for a refund and grab the new one. Up to you and local laws.

    OSX is a great OS. I hope you're not thinking of using Win7 as the main OS...

    Sweeet. The new Ivy bridge version?

    If I had to get another laptop and money wasn't an issue, I'd waiting for them to release a 13" Retina Macbook Pro. That said, I'm thinking that by the end of the year, I might get two SSDs for my Macbook and RAID them.

    As I probably won't be able to convince you to surf with a browser other than IE, I doubt you would be able to convince me to switch even to Chrome, much less IE/Safari/Opera – From Mozilla Firefox that is.

    And whoa, getting rid of version numbers in a program was a really bad decision on their part, and surprising considering they're a non-profit.

    PHP had a built-in function that got deprecated and removed for security vulnerabilities called magic_quotes. This immediately came to mind

    For a while C/C++ intimidated me more than calculus, so I'm working my way there by doing recreational projects in VB/C# and PHP, those being based off of the original significantly. Trust me, its not something many can jump into lol.

    Reading that, it reminded me that 'for' and 'while' are commands in PHP (and I'm thinking C as well). Mildly ironic.

    My dream is to one day master C. For programmers both new and old, that's like getting a red sash in Chinese kung fu, or a black belt in multiple more stereotypical martial arts.

    So much of everything developers like me and pseudo-developers like you use is pratically stolen from C syntax-wise, lol... especially C# and obviously C++.

    I gather you like to mess around with CSS, so I'd like you to look at this sample C program.
    Spoiler:
    #include <stdio.h>

    main()
    {
    int n, c;

    printf("Enter a number\n");
    scanf("%d", &n);

    if ( n == 2 )
    printf("Prime number.\n");
    else
    {
    for ( c = 2 ; c <= n - 1 ; c++ )
    {
    if ( n % c == 0 )
    break;
    }
    if ( c != n )
    printf("Not prime.\n");
    else
    printf("Prime number.\n");
    }
    return 0;
    }
    Look at some of the lines, and especially the braces. CSS took those tools and used them to store values within properties for styling markup languages, namely HTML.

    A stack overflow error caused by too many stack overflow errors in a compiler, being solved at Stack Overflow.
    That is irony.

Since I'll probably doing my blogging from Word 2013 from now on (that's right), well...

WordPress Web address: http://www.wordpress.com

Blogger Web address: http://www.blogger.com

TypePad Web address: http://www.typepad.com

Well, which one would work well for me? I think I'll also do my own research while you guys pour in the comments.

Just what's going on with Pokémon Groups these days?!

I know something strange is going on these days. People are quite the fickle one - sign up, then bolt away. I've seen a lot of deleted posts in threads... including my clubs. Whatever is happening there, it is going to harm everyone involved in the health of Pokémon Groups. It's one thing to not like a group. It's another thing to pretend that you're in a group for show. Nobody wants to be the person that just sits there, huh?...

...and when I tried to reinstall Windows, I noticed that I don't have any blank DVDs or USB sticks around, seeing as I'm living in my uncle's home for the week.

This was the time when I started to learn OS X deeply.

I've begun to actually love it.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

One thing I learned today is that even though the screens might be pre-calibrated, it's a good idea to recalibrate the monitor anyway.

Why?

Well... at least gamma isn't wonky and it's no longer baked warm. I think I'm now enjoying my display, even in OS X.
