Microsoft released a security update on december 9th that broke copy and paste between Excel and Access.

Since this wasted a better part of an hour of my (and CSU's) Time, I figured i'd post here and be angry for a bit.

Solution (actually a terribly painful workaround) here..

Thanks for keeping us all safe by not allowing us to work microsoft!

In other news... god I love my mac.

The new Front Range Village shopping center in Collins has decided not to allow dogs. Anywhere. Sidewalks, streets, whatever.

Can they do that? If I take private property, throw a bunch of streets, sidewalks, parking lots, and stores all over it and invite the public in, can I then set arbitrary rules for the public looking spaces? (streets and sidewalks, etc.)

Can I demand that everyone switch to driving on the left side of the street? Can I put out a sign that says 'No Blacks, Gays, or Fatties'?

I mean.. truly.. what America are they trying to keep safe?

Nope, no check on the freedom of our words. That's called a free society. If you have a problem with free societies, then bring it on. We can take it.

That was specifically directed toward the EU... they survived the blitz.. What the hell could you possibly bring that they can't stand?

What a self important pissant... Keep calm and carry on people.

google: you suck for not recognizing a '.' in the search term ".Net"

microsoft: you suck for making a product with a completely common and unsearchable name.

This is the best little essay I've read in a long time!

I keep trying to read his drivel, but it's just so godawful bad that I can't take it. It reads like high school fiction. I'm not saying I could do better (but given the amount of practice he's had, I don't see how I could possibly do worse), but that, compared to actual writers who don't make their money blogging and talking about things they're not qualified to be regarded as experts on, he's awful.

Probably something only I am interested in, but there are some pretty good chunks in this interview that explain running, and why your average joe would want to do it.

This is a freaking rad design. I'm really impressed by the interchangeable tools and power taps on each leg. Such great ideas!

This year it's about fully autonomous cars navigating an urban environment. (with traffic!)

Here's an article about it
