Clicking works, yeah, but the point is that Microsoft designed a lot of the wording in Windows 8 with the assumption that everybody would be using a touchscreen.
Windows 8.1 got a little better, IIRC, in that they had "touch or click here" instead.
An interesting recurring theme that keeps cropping up in VR previews: Even if you know that it isn't real, your brain really doesn't like it if you try to walk off a cliff.
Mr Wild, who is research director of the think tank which campaigns for lower taxes and highlights examples of Government waste, said the cuts should be made "as soon as possible after an election for two reasons". "The first of which will sound a little bit morbid - some of the people... won't be around to vote against you in the next election. So that's just a practical point, and the other point is they might have forgotten by then." He added: "If you did it now, chances are that in 2020 someone who has had their winter fuel cut might be thinking, 'Oh I can't remember, was it this government or was it the last one? I'm not quite sure.'
We have to proceed with these tax credit changes because they are a very important cultural signal. We want this to be one of the most successful countries in the world in 20, 30, 40 years’ time. There’s a pretty difficult question that we have to answer which is essentially: are we going to be a country that is prepared to work hard in the way that Asian economies are prepared to work hard, in the way that Americans are prepared to work hard? And that is about creating culture where work is at the heart of our success.
So sayeth the Health Secretary.
Also the Tory conference is surrounded by rooftop snipers.

maybe i parsed this wrong, but, it sounds like he is advocating cutting pensioner benefits sooner, in the hope that the cuts will kill pensioners before they have the chance to vote against you?
Nah, that's not supervillain, that's just villain.
Now, if I were in charge of the United States, I'd be all, "This is a Stickup! We have nuclear weapons, you have money and delicious rolls! Anybody so much as sneeze without my permission and I destroy the world!"
After, of course, combining with /being annexed by Russia to create a superstate enough to crush all opposition (Russia can't invade us if they annex us!) and ruling Russia. And shooting an ice beam to reconnect Siberia and Alaska, because why should the Beringian Ice Sheet just be allowed to not exist anymore when I want it to be around.
Blue for Sarcasm/not-being-serious, a la Giantitp.

Not necessarily the cuts so much as just 5 extra years of age, but yeah, pretty much!

I bought a new set of earbuds because I ruined my last pair
I break these things so often that I never even consider paying full price for them
TJ Maxx, as it turns out, often has a lot of earbuds in ugly colors that couldn't sell at other stores, and they're super marked down

Computer users are kind of hilarious.
Microsoft Outlook Web App added an option to restore items deleted from the "Deleted Items" folder.
So...the fact that they bothered to add this means a nontrivial number of people moved things to "Deleted Items", clicked "Empty Deleted Items", and clicked "Yes" to the confirmation...only to decide after the fact that they really wanted those emails after all.

Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
Historically, a devil's advocate was a position in the Catholic Church that tried to disprove that prospective saint was worthy of canonization, and was part of the system, rigorously filtering and testing and making sure that every saint canonized was above reproach.
So really, in today's world, a devil's advocate does look for the "problematic."

Whenever I plug something in, a pop-up comes up and says "Touch to see what happens".
My laptop isn't touch screen.
Windows 8.1 got a little better, IIRC, in that they had "touch or click here" instead.
We just don't know. Force of habit most likely.
so is "rabbit"
