Just a small heads up: Yahoo also made changes to their weather feed at the end of January that broke existing applications/websites using it. Although very rarely used by the Winstep application - if ever - that is one less backup feed that can be relied on. :( EDIT: they just white-listed Winstep applications to use the new feed. Of course, now I must change the code to use their OAuth1 authentication in order for it to work again. Sigh. Why can't they just leave it alone?! :)
Hey! I've been having deep long philosophical conversations with my fridge lately, so back off! [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
There WILL be completely autonomous cars, but only when two more things come together as well, IMO: car to car communication *and* road side sensors communicating with cars. So the latter infrastructure will need to be slowly added on top of current roads, just like the current road infrastructure was slowly built over time. Everywhere else you will need to drive the car manually or only with driver-assist instead of full autonomy. Something like that anyway. You will probably
No, of course not, the primary function of the auto-pilot would be to protect the occupant - unless someone had implemented that rule into it, based on, say, height or size of the target, at which point the AI would likely do something stupid such as killing the occupant to save a midget. There really is no such thing as AI, at least not in the way most people think of it - there is no 'intelligence', only complex programs following complex rules. At most there is room for these rules
Thanks, guys! :)
Thanks, Webbie! [quote who="Uvah" reply="4" id="3742468"]Ha! Beat ya to it. I got the update a couple weeks ago. Did the update then a couple few days later the update dialogue came back with the same update. I told it to remind me in a month.[/quote] LOL. You were getting the betas because you have 'Notify me of beta (test) versions' enabled in the Advanced tab of Preferences - and it NEVER is the exact same update: although the version number is the same, the build number is
Ahah, thanks, Doc! :)

Regardless of financial aspects and usage stats, WB is STILL the 'glue' that keeps us all together. Take that away, you kill what is left of the community - and without it everything else crumbles. Not everything should be seen in the cold light of numbers.

Happy birthday, Wiz... Time flies. We think we have all the time in the world when we are young... and then one day, like everyone before us, we come face to face with the fact that our time is running out.
[quote who="Uvah" reply="12" id="3742324"]IMO this new driver assist tech was developed because people don't pay attention anymore. Go figure. [/quote] And is it any wonder? Think about it: in the old days, NOTHING happened most of the time. Whole days went by with time slowly dragging its feet while you lived your life in leisure. People had time for everything. Now we are constantly bombarded with new information. There are hundreds of things constantly competing for our att

[quote who="mtcellph" reply="2" id="3740483"]Again, where is the proof to backup your claims. Anyone can make any claim they want , but until they can prove it than its just hearsay.

As others have already told you multiple times , you can get all the proof you need all by yourself : just add any small application to your Startup group and see how long it takes for
[quote who="rjv4" reply="12" id="3739610"]The one thing I have not heard is why everything works normally without Fences and then it no longer works with Fences. JcRabbit, explain that please, rather than accusing me of not wanting to solve the problem (particularly as I have enough of solving problems when coding and debugging).[/quote] Sorry if you felt I was accusing you of something, I was just trying to be witty and re-direct your focus to where it should really be. :) It
I'm not talking about social media tiffs. I am talking about what is behind all these 'politically correct' and 'virtue signaling' movements - and if you think those are limited to 'social media tiffs' rather than something infecting the very core of Western society, then you should start paying a bit more attention to what is going on, Starkers. :) It's everywhere.
[quote who="rjv4" reply="9" id="3739549"]When in desktop tablet mode, finger movements are essentially the same as mouse movements. More importantly, deactivate or remove Fences and swiping down works normally. Activate it and it does not.[/quote] Yes, swiping down is basically a screen edge bump with the mouse pointer. Thing is, do you want to find a culprit or are you more interested in actually solving the problem? ;-) You could try backing up your Nexus Ul
There is one problem with that: remember Martin Niemöller 's "First they came for..." poem? There comes a point where you can no longer bury your head in the sand and you MUST choose a side, while you still can.

Hi Sean, rjv4! :) Rjv4, I'm Jorge from Winstep and Sean asked me to step in to see if I could help. Nexus Ultimate is not 'touch aware', that is, it has no code specifically designed to handle touch screens and/or input by touch. As such, it relies solely on 'translations' between touch and mouse input made by Windows itself (e.g.; one tap = left mouse button click). Given Microsoft's current track record of constantly making 'under the hood' changes to Windows and tha
Winstep Xtreme is now 50% off for a limited period of time. :)
Really nice, Don! :)
Ok, I'll follow up on the Winstep forums so we don't have the same conversation in both places lol

Does the .xtreme file show the Winstep icon or something else?
