If you HAVE to burn it, I would suggest drilling holes in it (at places where the coolant is if you can find out/already know, in random areas if not) and collecting the coolant in buckets, because I can't imagine that stuff does good in the ground/water (because rain)

Oorrrr... you could just have someone who knows how to handle the stuff deal with it.

But that's not as !!Fun!!

I'm confused at just how Origin is so awful, and I test terrible software for a living.
The games don't run, which seems to be a bit of a downside on a, you know, game platform.

Simple, EA tried to be Steam, same problem Microsoft has had twice now, once with that one thing for Vista, and Once with the windows store thing, there can only be one Steam and companies don't seem to get it

Probably helps that Valve didn't even try to be exclusive to their own products, which is what EA and Microsoft did.

The stupidity of fellow human beings just boggles the mind sometimes. Was on my way to the post office earlier today and what did I see going around a corner?

Some idiot riding his bike. In the middle of the road. Going the wrong way.

Just...are you trying to get hit by a car? Do you want to die?! If I had come along maybe 30 seconds later we would have gone around the corner at the same time and then I'd probably have one hell of an insurance claim to make. As it was, I had plenty of time to see him and there was no on-coming traffic so I was able to switch lanes around the jackass, honking and giving the stink-eye as I went.

Origin had billing problems too. They "Lost" my wife's copy of Sims 3. It suddenly decided that she hadn't paid for it and couldn't play. They tried to make her pay for it again.

EA is P much the worst.

The number of people that don't understand that (generally speaking, Your Laws May Vary) bikes = cars is astounding. This lack of understanding is equally common among car drivers and cyclists, and the car has a signifigant advantage in any collision. Thus, I can understand why so many cyclists prefer to go against traffic on the side of the road to keep from getting plowed over by some idiot who thinks the bike shouldn't be there. In the middle of the street? No excuse.

[EnigmaticHat]

Cyclists are terrifying.  They follow neither the gods, nor the rules of law.  They decide arbitrarily at any given moment whether they are a car or a pedestrian.

[TD1]

To the Black or the White, equally is the Grey terrifying.

[scourge728]

As a general rule, no matter whether you are on a bike or in a car, driving against the traffic is a BAD idea...

I don't care what color the car is they all mess up bikes the same.

How silly.

This place is the closest thread that IK of for this: If you heat up wood to the point it would ignite, in a vacuum, does the wood melt? since in a vacuum, there is no oxygen, and fire can't start without oxygen.... so what would happen?

Google knows.

>>In theory, could I melt wood in a vacuum?<<

It wasn't until my late teens that I found out the legal direction for a cyclist to be biking was with the traffic. And it took a while to sink in, because the concept of being on a bike and not being able to see the cars moving toward you was effectively suicidal to me. Like, there's mirrors I guess but the ergonomics involved in your average bicycle are not conducive to those things being maximally trivial to look into.

Incidentally, though there's not many bikers in my area, I've definitely found that the ones going against traffic (on the side or just off from the road) are notably less likely to weave into a car lane or something representative of an equal lack of survival instinct. Apparently being able to easily see the nearest approaching vehicle makes you more careful about where your wheels are going or somethin' :V

Come on Microsoft....

Your appeal has always been cross platform, cross version universality. I know Paint, hasn't been the best program on features, but it was reliable basically no matter what. This isn't internet explorer, which everybody made fun of. This is tried and true Paint. It costs nothing for you to maintain, uses practically no resources and is incredibly utilitarian. You can always copy and paste plop screenshots into paint, work, home, school, doesn't matter.

Why? What does Paint hurt? What does anyone gain by killing it? Just keep it around.

I know you're changing everything else, but why change Paint? If people want better programs, they exist, paint is the standard standby. Geeze, there is value in that.

I hope people start a "Save Paint" campaign or something. I don't know that they would though.

There goes half of the web comics online, or at least how they started out. Same with forum game images, and my avatar is still dead.... Changes.... [sigh]

[Dunamisdeos]

What are they replacing it with?

[smjjames]

What are they replacing it with?

Paint3D apparently, which allows people to create 3D objects and also print out 3D stuff, and with better tools.
