Windows 8 was terrible, and while 8.1 fixed a few things it was far from enough. I haven't used my Win8 laptop in four months.

I can't say enough nice about my Chromebook. If you're looking for a basic computer for web browsing, it's freaking awesome. Light weight, fast booting, ridiculously long battery life, and cheap. Definitely has its downsides -- chief amongst them is that it will play ANYTHING on a website, including dropbox.com, but is much pickier about what you download, so I spend a lot of time re-uploading things to dropbox. But I love it overall.

Eh, 8/8.1 aren't all that bad as long as you completely ignore the Metro/Modern UI side of things as much as possible.

Gifs don't require a video player and any browser can show them, but they're horribly inefficient for complex moving images.
I guess then forums should allow HTML5 videos for profile pics instead of animated gif since its faster to load :p

I'm sorry, but nothing is as bad as ME.

Maybe if Boeheim hadn't thrown his little hissy fit at the ref in the middle of the court, 'Cuse would've won.

are you a Duke student or alum?

As I understand it, part of being an ACC team means learning that every bullshit call always goes Duke's way. It's what they've built their name on. That should have been a +1 for SU and a likely lead going into a final possession.

Also, "your house" is small and quiet. "A for effort", though, that little crowd of worked up boosters was adorable.
