    I change mine all the time

    What happened to never customizing, and using default everything?
    Colors aren't really a big deal. I change my desktop wallpaper too *gasp*
  • Is there a good FOSS equivalent to Microsoft OneNote?
  • Anyone got any ideas for things to do with scratched records?

    Spraypaint them. Put them in frames and hang them on the wall as if they were golden/platinum records.

    The captions on the tiny plaque below the record are yours to make hilarious.
  • Pre-crack them, take them into a poncy record store, and smash them over your head in front of the most audiophile dude in there.
  • Is it weird that I like a lot of music that was released before I was born?
    And is it bad that I am a whole lot less up to date about what is going on in music than I used to?
    Or would it be just bad if I thought that by default everything that is released today must be worse than what I listened to when I was a teenager (which I don't)?
  • No, yes but its not a big deal, and it would be worse, respectively.
  • You can look at it like games. You know those SNES classics will always be good and you tend to like other things in that vein. There's also new games that will most likely hit that craving. It's the same for music.
  • How many hands do you drive with? Do you drive a stick or an automatic?

    Mostly two, Mostly Manual. My personal vehicle is a manual, but I have an automatic station wagon at my disposal.

    Always manual (stick).

    Usually with two (unless at low speeds or if I'm going super slow on a straight road).
  • Not what I was expecting. One of my students asked the same question and everyone who drove stick drove one-handed, and all the auto people used two hands.
    Any non-Aussies?
  • Well, I drive two handed MOST of the time, but I think about it as that I have one hand on the stick sometimes(so to speak) and sometimes I'm smoking while I drive - but the majority of the time, I've both hands on the wheel while driving, because I don't have power steering, and the van punishes inattention.
  • Well sometimes I leave my left hand on the gear stick if I am frequently changing gears like racing someone off the lights or when the freeway is at a crawl.

    The only other time I have it off is interacting with the radio or the phone or on the very rare occasion that I'm drinking and driving.
  • Regardless of whether I drive auto or manual, I sometimes let my right hand rest on my knee, where it holds the wheel loosely. Only on highways though, if nothing's happening. I'll keep both hands on even on abandoned country roads.
  • If there's anything going on or I'm in close traffic, two hands at the top, gripping the wheel.

    On an empty highway, one hand at the bottom right, finger and thumb.

    Automatic, and one hand unless I really need to keep control of the wheel.
  • Auto. Most of the time I have one hand (left) on the wheel and the other doing something else. Unless, like Rym said, something is happening then both hands on 10 and 2.
  • I got an SNES emulator, a USB controller and a pile of games, and I want to relive the childhoods of people 5 years older than me or thereabouts. (I jumped from NES to N64) What games should I learn to love?
  • Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Link to the Past, Castlevania, Megaman X, Final Fantasy 6. The list goes on
  • I drive mostly with one hand unless I see that something will require more precision, then I switch to two. In close traffic (as in, bumper to bumper on the 405), I hang one arm out the window, one hand on the shifter, and steer with my legs.

    That pretty much describes my driving habits too (for the next 20 days).

    Why aren't GPU chips replaceable on a video card like you would a CPU chip on a motherboard? Is it not technically feasible? economic reasons? just a dumb idea? why?

  • What would you call Space Jam if the sport portrayed was American football?
  • Astro Turf War?
  • Super Space Bowl
  • What was the name of that comic book that has a story on one side and a story on the other side of the book? One story is set in the future somewhere in space and the other is in the past on earth. I think Scott reviewed it awhile back.
