Hi there Unity fokes, I am in need of a bit of help here. In a game project, we are trying to create a chat system, and for that chat system I have decided that it will be useful to use the Unity GUI. In that case, we have programmed a chat window using GUI.BeginScrollView, so the player can scroll up and down in the chatbox. When using BeginScrollView, you get two 'not so nice' scrollbars and my intention is to hide them, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to remove them. I attempt to execute the BeginScrollView this way:
Where chatSkin is a GUISkin. But by doing this, I get the following error:
The following error disappears if I remove the two last arguments in the method call "chatSkin.horizontalScrollbar" and "chatSkin.verticalScrollbar". The GUISkin chatSkin is defined in top of the script (haven't copied that though). The mySkin GUISkin has been assigned in the inspector.
Taking into considerations its a NullreferenceException, I have been glancing in the Inspector of chatSkin, though no matter what I do, I can't seem to get rid of this error. I hope the community out there can help me. Here is the rest of the function, best regards - Marc Pilgaard
Here are my chatSkin settings from the inspector: 125125

try this:
it will accomplish the same thing

I believe the problem stems from trying to use a GUISkin, where a GUIStyle is required, not very familiar with GUIStyles though..
Aug 06, 2012 at 07:06 PM Seth Bergman
I don't know why, but this actually sorted it out. Though I have no clue why it did work. Thank you man, I appreciate it. (Thank you also Sundar, though I am going to give the Answer to Seth Bergman)
Aug 06, 2012 at 07:07 PM Freaking-Pingo
basically, if you leave out those optional parameters, the current GUISkin which is implemented is used by default..
GUI.skin = someSkin;
sets that skin to the GUI, so any GUI elements created will also use the same skin until you change it again:
GUI.skin = skinA;
if(GUI.Button.....// uses skinA
GUI.Box(Rect.....//uses skinA
GUI.skin = skinB;
GUI.Box(Rect.....//uses skinB
Aug 06, 2012 at 07:36 PM Seth Bergman
Keep in mind that scrollbars needs several styles. That's why it's usually better to just switch the whole skin. Unity determines the other style names like this:
where style is the style you've given. So you have to set your skin as the current and make sure you have the additional styles as well.
answered Aug 06, 2012 at 07:03 PM
Can you check in the inspector your chatSkin - Horizontal Scrollbar - Normal - Background - a texture should have been assigned to it or if you see "missing texture" then you need to assign a texture to the background. Also check the same for Vertical Scrollbar.
answered Aug 06, 2012 at 06:14 PM
Both the Horizontal Scrollbar and the Vertical Scrollbar have an assigned texture :/
Aug 06, 2012 at 06:32 PM Freaking-Pingo
Just checking, do you have this line GUI.skin = chatSkin;
void OnGUI() {
Aug 06, 2012 at 06:45 PM Sundar
I actually didn't have that line in my script, but even putting that before the "BeginScrollView", it outputed with the same error.
Though I don't think it would matter anyway, the chatSkin is assigned in the inspector, and the only thing the "BeginScrollView" requires are two styles, not an entire skin package.

I'd be interested in reading exactly what the Bible has to say about gambling in general.
Where would I find that exactly?
So let me make sure I understand. Because "the great majority of people that gamble are the ones that can least afford to do so" that gives you the right to tell them how to spend their money? It's still their money, and their choice if they choose to gamble. They hypocrisy inherent in this amazes. It's ok to bet on football and basketball, but immoral to bet on electronic bingo. Get real.
Since it would have nothing to do with shutting down bingo halls, I doubt if the AG would be interested.
I find it ironic that we don't have enough deputies to staff the jails or work wrecks, but they have a dozen deputies with nothing better to do than raid bingo halls. Maybe I'm missing something
I hope you're right.
@elmerthefirst: could it be that AL Supreme Court is now all Republican??
This is not a fight I believe in, but if this article is correct, I absolutely respect this man and the other volunteer deputies for working to make their community a better place. If more people were willing to donate TIME to improving their neighborhoods, helping neighbors and living their beliefs, all of Alabama would benefit.
It wasn' that simple Amazed. To kill Bingo was just a means to an end. The bigger goal was taking over the House and Senate-and you might note that was accomplished. By discrediting a few of the Dems, they shed doubt on others and voters reacted by voting for Republicans. And it's a formula that has worked again and again for the Rebuplicans. Just look at history.
He has a real job-he actually owns a business that has nothing to do with bingo.
Unfortunately, the people whose careers were ruined so the GOP could take over the legislature may not think they are getting off so light. Even if they are acquitted, there will always be people who are convinced they are guilty. If they are guilty so are the rest of the politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle.
@saxxmann: It would be sad no matter the color/race of the person. Our senior citizens should not have to resort to bank robbery to make ends meet.
@saxxmann: It would be sad no matter the color/race of the person. Our senior citizens should not have to resort to bank robbery to make ends meet.
No matter the outcome of the trial the publicity has certainly shown that the legislature needs even stronger ethics reform. This is not one-sided. The other thing that seems to stand out is selective enforcement of existing laws. What fascinates me is that the FBI was not at all interested in recording the lobbying efforts of those opposing the bingo bill, which were certainly equally egregious. Must be nice to have state attorney as a friend. Wonder what will change with recent appointment of George Beck. I, for one, hope that enforcement will be across the board rather than focusing only on those who might support a bill our previous governor opposed.
We can only hope...........
@nicknitro19: I'm confused. Are you saying that McGregor planned to bribe "the people" when the vote was put to them? Maybe I'm naive, but you seem to have missed the part where Gilley said that if McGregor didn't get onboard they would sideline his a**. That sounds like what you'd say about a real crimeboss. Lol
I agree that there has been selective prosecution in this case. Everyone on both sides of the bill from top to bottom (Riley on down) should be help accountable. We've seem examples of each side using money to solicit support. And for me to convict there would have to be something more explicit than has been shown so far for McGregor, Preutt, Means, Crosby and others. Gilley, Massey did the right thing when they pled guilty, but I think they are stretching in trying to tie some of the others to their illegal actions.
However, in the end we all lost. Because whether or not a single defendant is found guilty, the Republicans accomplished their goals: They discredited enough Democratic senators and their supporters that the Republicans were able to take control of BOTH houses of the Senate while preventing a vote on bingo. (Remember, they were afraid that if a vote on gambling were allowed on ballot at election time there would be too much undesirable voter turnout for them to win.) So in the end this trial is pretty much important only to the defendants. Nothing in Alabama will change either way.
Why were the deputies found "hiding in the neighborhood"???
In answer to how to distinguish a bribe from a contribution: if its Democrats receiving or donating money, it's a brige; if it's Rebulican receiving or donating money, it a contribution. LOL. Simple as that.
And we know all about how much McGregor has bought over the years how exactly???

Airport Express can't find PPPoE host
I set up a second-hand AE base unit to connect to the Internet through a DSL modem. It worked fine but the status light was always amber. I succeeded in updating the firmware, but it no longer connected to the Internet. I did a factory reset of the AEBS and did the setup again. Now when I try to connect, the connection to the AEBS is fine but I always get the message "looking for PPPoE Host" until it eventually says that a PPPoE host cannot be found. System Preferences/Network tells me that I am connected to the Internet via Airport and the the connection is OK!
I am getting so frustrated! I have tried many things including deselecting the built-in Ethernet setting "Connect automatically when needed" as advised by Apple [artnum 107530].
Anyone any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Planetary Shields: Magnetospheres
Featured Missions
This mission to Jupiter will map the magnetic field and the magnetosphere near Jupiter's poles, especially the auroras -- Jupiter's northern and southern lights. This data will reveal the planet's interior structure and provide new insights about how the planet's enormous magnetic force field affects its atmosphere.
Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)
Launched on Feb. 11, 2010, SDO is examining the Sun's magnetic field and also provides a better understanding of the role the Sun plays in Earth's atmospheric chemistry and climate. SDO will determine how the Sun's magnetic field is generated, structured and converted into violent solar events such as turbulent solar wind, solar flares and coronal mass ejections. These immense clouds of material, when directed toward Earth, can cause large magnetic storms in our planet's magnetosphere and upper atmosphere.
The MESSENGER mission is examining how Mercury's magnetic field interacts with the powerful solar wind.
Cassini Solstice
Cassini's continued journey carries it throughout the huge sphere of magnetic activity that surrounds Saturn. One major discovery was that water ice jets from Enceladus play a major role in Saturn's magnetosphere. Water from the jets loads up the magnetosphere, influencing radio and auroral activity, and even causes changes in the rotation of the magnetic field itself. The Solstice mission will study these phenomena in unexplored areas of the magnetosphere and probe for links to Enceladus in addition to connections with other moons.
THEMIS is investigating what causes auroras in the Earth's atmosphere to dramatically change from slowly shimmering waves of light to wildly shifting streaks of color. Discovering what causes auroras to change will provide scientists with important details on how the planet's magnetosphere works and the important Sun-Earth connection.

So in true NOLA.com (and all media for that matter) fashion the story isn't entirely accurate.... and the headline is dramatized to get more attention. Yes, he has prior convictions. No, he did not flee the scene, he walked from the car to check on the passengers in the other car. He did not refuse a field sobriety test. He was charged with a misdemeanor DUI not charged with fleeing the scene. His family lives in a middle upper class neighborhood and did NOT bail him out of jail. And no one actually called for comment...which explains why he couldn't be reach.

Just to know. Because my birthday is coming up and I am prepared to go with my closest friends. My schedule is that my friends come to my home at 6:30 am and we leave at 7:00 am and make it to the park by 7:40 am and make it to the gates by 8:00 am. Is it a bit too early?
Because I never really went to Disneyland at such a early time and very early in the morning. I never did and I want to now. Because I want to experience all the hours of enjoyment at Disneyland and for my birthday! Got to sleep early on next saturday!
Also, should I make a reservation on Blue Bayou? Because I never ate there before. My friends didn't either.

Although not in the same league as the larger two-handled models in this survey, this smaller Panasonic rotary hammer is definitely worth considering for lighter and more-varied tasks. In fact, it is marketed as an overhead hammer for drilling and driving mounting bolts into ceilings. In its rotation-only mode, there is a ring clutch like that found on cordless drills that allows for setting the torque when driving anchor bolts, and an SDS-plus to 1/4-inch hex drive socket adapter is stowed on board for quick change-out.
Credit: Photo: dotfordot.com
At 5.7 pounds, it is relatively light, and it is very well balanced for one-handed operation. Its handle has plenty of room for a gloved hand. A generous amount of non-slip material around the handle as well as the end of the housing where the user's second hand is often placed provide a comfortable grip. The reversing switch is very easy to reach. And a bright LED light shines on the work when the trigger is depressed.
The maximum recommended bit is 15/32 inch, just under the 1/2-inch bit that I tested it with; although expectedly slower than the larger units, it had no problem making 4-inch-deep holes. What I mostly used it for was installing Tapcons, which required a 5/32-by-2-3/4-inch-deep hole. I found it to be very efficient for this size of job, cranking out 57 holes on one charge of its small, 3.5-amp-hour NiMH battery.
For drilling and driving into masonry, this tool nicely fills the gap between a cordless hammerdrill and the larger rotary hammers in the test.

Hi All,
Last October, Business.gov launched a Loans and Grants Search Tool (link opens a new window) that aims to help small business owners find loans, grants and equity capital programs from Federal, state and select nonprofit agencies.
I'd really like to hear what people think of this tool and suggestions on who it could be improved, from the search feature to the content that's included. Thanks!

Step onto Key Marco, and you step onto an island that time forgot. This exotic hideaway, with its breathtaking beauty, lush foliage, stately oaks, and subtropical splendor, represents Old Florida luxury living at its finest.
From fierce Indian warriors to swashbuckling pirates and enterprising 19th-century entrepreneurs, the past inhabitants of Key Marco have left behind a rich and colorful history. Key Marco is the earliest known coastal village in North America, with the oldest Indian burial mounds in the United States, dating back more than 5000 years according to archeologists. Fifteen shell mounds remain as a symbol to the Calusa Indian civilization. The island was originally named after Captain John F. Horr, who built his vacation home and a pineapple plantation on the island in 1870.
Today, your home on this unique island will not only make you part of its history, but also allow you to experience a lifestyle that is unequalled. Key Marco is strategically located off the southeastern corner of Marco Island, 20 miles south of Naples, with elevations up to 43 feet. This 546-acre island has only 134 home sites, with 375 acres of land set aside to preserve the natural beauty of this island, one of the last of its kind.
Key Marco is connected to Marco Island by the charming Key Marco Bridge, which crosses Blue Hill Creek. A manned security gate at the community entrance ensures the safety and security of residents. Whiskey Creek and Blue Hill Creek Drives meander through rolling hills, vibrant natural preserves, grand homes, and expansive home sites, mingled amidst the lush native greenery, fishing piers, lookouts and native habitat parks.

Last week theFABlife gave you a list of sitcom kids whose iconic small screen characters didn't stop them from becoming grown-up Hollywood stars. But that got us thinking: What happened to the kids who didn't go that A-list route and got sucked into the black hole of former child actors? We recently heard from Family Matters star Jaleel White, who said that he still feels suffocated by Steve Urkel's high-wasted pants. But that just got us curious about the others. Kimmy Gibbler, Danny Tamberelli, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Larisa Oleynik … where have you been!? We're so sad that we've fallen out of contact with 'em.
But never fear, folks! Through the magic of the Internet, we've managed to track down some of your favorite sitcom kids of the '80s and '90s. All you gotta do is click on the gallery below for a tearful reunion with your long-lost television friends. Enjoy! And bring a hanky.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 13, 1998 NATO voted to take military action Oct. 12 and gave Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic 96 hours to comply with a U.N. Security Council resolution on Kosovo.
The NATO order is a significant step toward ending the crisis in Kosovo, Defense Secretary William S. Cohen said Oct. 13 while en route here from Kuwait. "This shows that the NATO countries are fully capable and prepared to go to war if necessary to force compliance with the U.N. Security Council resolutions," he said.
The United States deployed six B-52 bombers, an aerial tanker and a reconnaissance plane to England Oct. 10 to be available to the alliance if needed. The planes, from Barksdale Air Force Base, La., are among about 260 the United States has committed to NATO air operations. Most of the other aircraft are based in Europe or aboard the carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, in the Mediterranean.
NATO's decision-making body, the North Atlantic Council, approved the activation order, authorizing both limited air strikes and a phased air campaign in Yugoslavia. NATO authorities delayed action for 96 hours based on Milosevic's pledges to comply with U.N. demands.
Announcing the council vote in Brussels, NATO Secretary- General Javier Solana said time is running out for Milosevic. "Even at this late hour, I still believe diplomacy can succeed and the use of military force can be avoided," Solana said. "The responsibility is on President Milosevic."
In Washington, President Clinton praised his special envoy to Kosovo, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, who negotiated an agreement with the Yugoslav president. "This is only the second time in NATO's history that it has authorized the use of force, and the first time in the case of a country brutally repressing its own people," Clinton said.
Based on the U.S.-brokered agreement, Milosevic said he will comply with U.N. Security Council Resolution 1199, calling for a cease fire and withdrawal of military and police forces conducting an offensive against Kosovar civilians. He also must allow refugees to return to their homes and humanitarian agencies to provide relief to displaced people.
Along with meeting these U.N. demands, Milosevic has agreed to allow international inspectors to verify his compliance and to set a timetable for completing interim autonomy talks with Kosovo's ethnic Albanian leaders.
These commitments "can provide the basis for peace and progress," Clinton said. "But, let me be very clear, commitments are not compliance. Balkan graveyards are filled with President Milosevic's broken promises."
The United States and NATO will determine if the Yugoslav leader "follows words with deeds," Clinton said. "We will remain ready to take military action if Mr. Milosevic fails to make good on his commitments this time."
The agreement is "not just a piece of paper," Cohen told reporters here. "It's backed up by the [activation] order of the NATO countries that they will participate in a fairly substantial campaign to force compliance or to reduce his capacity to inflict damage upon the Kosovars."
In the meantime, Cohen said, "We will have sufficient means to verify the movement of [Milosevic's] troops and where they're going."

In a world that's increasingly mobile and global, information has become virtually limitless, making it difficult to find what your looking for or keep up with multiple social sites. So we decided to take sharing in a whole new direction. Rather than one billion size "anything and everything" website, we have created a NETWORK of individual websites devoted to specific interests, hobbies, and professions. This ensures that sharing is streamlined and the content is always relevant to what interests you. So say goodbye to "TMI" and hello to EOS, the Evolution of Sharing - we hope you Enjoy Our Sites!
People are naturally drawn to others who share their interests, hence the proverb "birds of a feather flock together". While many sites enable you to keep up with the people you know, we've created a network where you can focus instead on what you love to do and connect with people with the same interests. Almost everyone has something they are passionate about, so EOS ZOO is quite literally, for the social animal in you.
What makes our team unique is that our jobs ARE our passions, hobbies, and interests. In other words, our concept isn't just a concept - we literally do what we love. Our team's interests are as varied as our sites, ranging from fun things like fitness, sports, cheerleading, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, kayaking and climbing to more serious subjects like cancer. The best part of our jobs - meeting amazing new people who share our passions.
You are what you share.
Man is by nature a social animal.
Social media should improve your life, not become your life.
Observing and commenting, it is a piece of cake. Experiencing and sharing, that is a piece of work.
When I was a kid my social network was called 'outside'.
Focus on how to be social, not how to do social.
Have a question, comment, or issue? We'd love to hear from you. Simply fill out the form below and a member of our team will get back to you as soon as possible.

So who's on top? Last time around, we said Sargeras or Elune, but let's refine things a bit-- those two may both be very powerful, but Sargeras is currently "ceased to be," and Elune, who supposedly created the world, doesn't actually use that power much, does she? If she was so peaceful and in charge, why's the world called Warcraft?
Still, looking down the list, Elune does seem to top it-- if you're talking about potential power, she's it. Aman'thul and the Pantheon are up there-- they toppled Sargeras and have even killed the Old Gods. But the most powerful character that we know for certain is actually in Azeroth right now? Besides the winner of the our One Boss Leaves tournament, I'm not sure. Nozdormu? The Lich King?
Unless by "most powerful character," Killah actually means player character. In that case, I have no idea. Awake? One of the guys from Team Pandemic?

Herb Stevens, trainer of Rockhill Native, dies at 96
Herbert K. "Herb" Stevens, a longtime Kentucky-based trainer who guided Rockhill Native to an Eclipse Award as the top 2-year-old of 1979, died Saturday morning of a heart attack in a Lexington, Ky., hospital. He was 96.
Stevens, who long was admired for his work with young horses and was known as a consummate "Kentucky hardboot," retired from training in 1996 after more than a half-century in the sport. His all-time stable star was Harry A. Oak's Rockhill Native, the little gelding who was fifth as the 2-1 favorite in the 1980 Kentucky Derby and ran third in the Belmont Stakes five weeks later.
Chris Crowe, his assistant for 14 years, said: "You had to know the man to understand him. As far as I'm concerned, he's the greatest guy who's ever been in this game."
The esteemed late racing author Jim Bolus once wrote of Stevens: "I've always said that if I ever owned racehorses, I'd like for Herb Stevens to be my trainer. They don't come any better than this knowledgeable Kentucky hardboot."
Stevens's survivors include his wife, Lady Louise; his daughter, Patty; and his son Mike.
Funeral services and burial were scheduled for Tuesday at the Blackburn and Ward Funeral Home in Versailles, Ky., with visitation set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern.
The family has asked that memorial contributions be made to Old Friends or the Jockeys' Guild.
He was the leading trainer at River Downs for many, many years. Introduced myself at his Keeneland Box years ago and he invited me to stay and chat. I wish I had a tape recorded. A class act if ever there was one.
RIP Mr Stevens
One of the all time greats. My sympathy goes out to the family.
Great gentleman! Pleasure to have known him thru my association with Chris Crowe. Rest in Peace Mister Stevens.
If some of the younger trainers today could have been around Mr.Stevens the game could be a lot better. Chris Crowe was right the best the game had to offer.
The article failed to mention that Mr. Stevens was also noted to bring up several good apprentice jockey's in his time. Nick Nicholson

Windows 8.1 will bring back the Start button
- By Sebastian Anthony on April 22, 2013 at 9:47 am
- Comment
Share This article
Microsoft will resurrect the Start button in Windows 8.1 (Blue), which is due to be released later this year. This follows last week's news that Windows 8.1 will let you to skip the Start screen after logging in, allowing you to boot straight to the Desktop.
This news comes from The Verge, which cites the usual "sources familiar with Microsoft's plans." Don't get too excited, though: As it stands, the resurrected Start button will still open the new, tile-based Metro Start screen. For now, there doesn't seem to be any plans to bring back the old Start menu — for that, you'll still need to install a third-party Start button/menu app. Who knows, though — if Microsoft has finally decided to back down on its severe Start-screen-über-alles stance to appease Desktop users, then it would make sense for the Start menu to also make a glorious return. We also don't know if the Start button will be visible by default in Windows 8.1, or enabled via an option that's hidden deep within the Control Panel.
If Microsoft had opted to kill the Start button or introduce the brand-new Start screen with Windows 8, that would've been bad enough. That Microsoft decided to do both at the same time, both alienating the old users and disorienting the new, will remain one of the tech world's greatest mysteries. There was definitely an argument for removing the Start menu — it wasn't being used much, and the new Start screen replicates most of its features — but in combination with the other changes it made Windows 8's learning curve dauntingly steep, leading us to call Windows 8's interface a train wreck. As the head of Microsoft, Julie Larson-Green, said: it may take up to six weeks until users feel truly comfortable with Windows 8's interface changes.
In Microsoft's defense, it claims that it removed the Start button and menu due to data gathered by Windows 7's Customer Experience Improvement Program, which reports anonymous usage telemetry to Microsoft. It is ironic, though, that Microsoft's outgoing CFO says that the resurrection of the Start button, and booting straight to the Desktop, is due to "customer feedback." Personally, I think that Microsoft forced the Start screen upon us in a desperate attempt to gain mobile relevancy and market share, but we'll probably never know the truth.
So far, Windows 8.1 (aka Blue) is shaping up to be the operating system that Microsoft should've originally released back in October. If all goes to plan, the Windows 8.1 Public Preview will be released at Microsoft's Build conference in June, at which point will finally have confirmation of the Start button's return — and perhaps, if we're lucky, the Start menu as well. Beyond the Start menu and button, we also know that Windows 8.1 will introduce more options for snapping side-by-side apps and an improved Metro Control Panel.

Meanwhile on Ubuntu…
http://www.facebook.com/andrew.s.hodge Andrew Steven Hodge
TBH, ubuntu's unity interface isn't much better and follows the same methodology as metro with its touch centric pannels. At least I was able to switch to KDE with ubuntu.
Unity interface is fail for desktop systems. Fortunately it is not only one UI in Linux world. We has Mint, which has access to newest Ubuntu software repository, but provide good ol' desktop with small taskbar and Start menu. Thing, called Mate. Even more… It should sound as heresy for some [grin], but with current free software availability and affordable quality for everyday use, we no longer need Windows anyway.
http://www.facebook.com/damon.bailey.14 Damon Bailey
I agree mostly, however, WINE doesnt work for everything written for only windows.

unity is not at all touch centric, it's a dock like in os x. the only thing bad about unity is the start button (and it is really bad) rest of the dock is fine but they need to work on it a lot.
Javier Martinez
"There was definitely an argument for removing the Start menu — it wasn't being used much, and the new Start screen replicates most of its features —"
Are you kidding? I use the start button many times during the day and judging by the amount of third party options that bring it back I'm not the only one that missed it.
user 9693
more over start screen is like a nightmare to use with mouse
It works great with a mouse May be your mouse is broken . I can add shortcuts just like the start menu you can click on them to open them just like the start menu Type a word and it searches just like the start menu
what are you talking about . Sure it looks different but it does everything that you can do with the start menu and now it is actually the start menu .
Oh yah click on the desktop shortcut an bingo it looks just like Classic windows .
I can't believe how much ignorance there is over a minor change to the
interface .
He's saying that the Start menu was easier to use than the new tablet-friendly Start screen… I'm pretty sure he didn't wanted a lesson from you.
May be your understanding abilities are broken!
Well I just cant see it the start menu works exactly the same as any other interface with a mouse lets face it . windows vista and 7 could both be used with a touch screen . All they have done is redesign the start menu it is just as easy to use with a mouse as the old one . I don't see what all the fuss is about . just click on the desktop Icon and you have windows 7 you can add shortcuts to your taskbar and desktop just as before what's so hard about that ?
http://www.facebook.com/vanminh.nguyen.73 Văn Minh Nguyễn
The start-menu isn't gone, it's in the charms-bar, it's not even that hard to find.
Ray C
That might be the case for you, but I would be willing to bet that if Microsoft pushed a click tracking update, they would find that a majority of the people are spending most of their clicks on the desktop and taskbar and only go to the start menu for a handful of things, and even some of those are probably on the recently used list
Why did they call it the start menu when the first thing I saw was the desktop ?
i think MS does some stuff that is ahead of its time.
i think this would be great… if they didnt skip too many intermediate steps and if they did it in a coherent manner.
http://twitter.com/NewPharo Khaled Mourad
i would like to have an setup option to login to either the desktop/start menu (PC mode) or start screen (tablet mode)
while in PC mode, the main screen is the desktop screen while the tiles screen is an option like a Windows i click to open when i need.
while in tablets only the tiles screen
http://twitter.com/NewPharo Khaled Mourad
also the virtual screen keyboard is not the best in Windows 8
Debaditya Chatterjee
well, its official: windows 8 was vista 2.0
mori bund
Oh come on – Vista wasn't THAT bad!
Debaditya Chatterjee
well, now that you mention it………………..
Rigggght. Neither was WindowsME =P

indexing eating up memory and cpu, slow ass copy and move..vista had a lot of issues. Windows 7 is what they should have released first. Vista like most of their new operating systems are rushed to market unfinished to meet those earnings expectations. You end up paying for the OS twice. The bastard unfinished product and the patched, fixed and more polished product a year later.
And besides indexing problems, file search only became usable with Win7. But even then, why changing the list sort (name, date..) of a completed search has to send the green progress bar crawling anew across the screen is beyond me.
So, how much is this 'upgrade' gonna cost us? You know Micro$oft will find some way to charge for it…
stuart hopkins
Same thing crossed my mind as well fella, some might say we are paranoid but there is a familiar pattern forming.
if they charge for it, then i will be SOL for a while.
http://www.facebook.com/IcyDragoon Wensheng Chen
This image is misleading.
http://www.facebook.com/ian.skinner.9 Ian Skinner
still not going to bother, win 8 still looks like a glorified NT GUI .. mixed with the modern full colour icons it's a painful mess to look at.
"Don't get too excited, though:
As it stands, the resurrected Start button will still open the new,
tile-based Metro Start screen."
I don't like the sound of that if it's still going to be the full screen Metro nonsense. I don't get why they can't just give an option to use the desktop or tablet interface. Adding a button to go to Metro isn't changing much, I still prefer the nested folders in the Windows 7 start menu.
As for customer feedback, I think the low sales figures speak for themselves. Despite being bombarded with adverts and being forced to buy Windows 8 with any new computer, their sales are still low. The new interface is the biggest and most obvious change, most casual users wouldn't even know about the other enhancements.
if the Resurrected start button button brings you back to metro, then they might as well not even bring it back. :/
What's the difference between a start corner and a start button? Just a box which now wastes space that I could be using for useful things like pinned taskbar icons.
How does putting this useless button back in make anyone happy? The corner works exactly the same. The only thing I can see is that for a first timer, it is a little easier to figure out where it is since a corner is not visible and may not be completely obvious at first.
There are a few things they still need to address like putting restart and shutdown on the user drop down list on the Start Screen. Better Skydrive to Facebook sharing. A more obvious means to access printers and devices. (Add to the Start corner Power User Menu)
On a tablet, how do you access the Power User Menu when you can't right click the corner? I know you can use winkey+x but, there should be something available with a swipe in from the left maybe or on the swipe down bar. Right now there is only all apps.
Any other tweaks?
"What's the difference between a start corner and a start button? Just a box which now wastes space that I could be using for useful things like pinned taskbar icons."
Poor you! They took away *one icon* box space from you! Where are you going to put all those *icons?*
"How does putting this useless button back in make anyone happy? The corner works exactly the same. The only thing I can see is that for a first timer, it is a little
easier to figure out where it is since a corner is not visible and may
not be completely obvious at first."
I think you answered your own question.
"A more obvious means to access printers and devices. (Add to the Start corner Power User Menu)"
Yes, i guess it is so hard to go to the power user menu and then go to control panel->printers(or whatever it's called).
Personally I use linux but I just hate people whining about the dumbest shit and contradicting themselves.
I wasn't complaining at all. I was stating that I don't get why people want t he stupid start button so badly. Yes, I was trying to come up with some sort of reasonable explanation to why these people hate losing the start button so badly.
Then I was stating that there are a few things that need fixing which are reasonable and worth mentioning to see if MS would address them. My point here is that, YES, there are some things worth discussing but, whining over a stupid start button isn't one of them.
I think we both agree but, maybe i wasn't clear enough when I originally wrote what I wrote.
Heck…PEALS OF HYSTERICAL HILARITY!!!!
Oh…and what's that I hear in the electronic distance? The sound of grinding teeth and destructive champing of dental crowns of Windows 8 Shills…who are possibly moved to MURDER at this news…
But Really…Why are you guys SO UPSET? It's called: FREEDOM OF CHOICE. Or Better: LISTEN TO THE CUSTOMERS!
Or as the young kids say: "Well DUH!"
You can STILL rub your Windows 8 Touchscreen with your grubby fingers all you want. No-one's stopping you.
Now to be fair to M$…I think I understand the real corporate reason for the attempt to force the Start Screen on us:
Internet Advertising!
The Start Screen Tiles were each a potential billboard for various Internet Services to Wiggle and visually Squeal at the User every time they turned on their device or hit the start screen. And eventually M$ would extract $$$ from companies like Facebook and the like to have their Tile feature prominently…much like the way Facebook is ensconced on my smartphone whether I want it or not.
So I think it had NOTHING to do with Coding. It had EVERYTHING to do with MARKETING. Except M$'s Marketers had to finally throw in the towel and admit that the Sheeple weren't going to get fleeced this time.
http://www.facebook.com/reiddave Dave Reid
Maybe not like you expect though – talk is it will just bring up the start screen. For the best in new music Like CremaTV on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/crematv
Exactly. They are not going to add back the whole Start menu.
Which is going to be the final straw that will be death sentence for the agonizing Windows8 and Metro/ModernUI nonsense crap.
Microsoft deserve to go bankrupt.
They should have fired Steve Ballmer and his Metro gang lazy employees many months ago already.

Interesting. I used Windows 8 for about 5 months. I tried to like it.

Mario White-star
Life long self confessed Microsoft fanboy right since DOS 6.2. I've tried to get along with Win8 but just can't This OS will ruin MS they need to act now or lose more market share :(
http://www.facebook.com/vanminh.nguyen.73 Văn Minh Nguyễn
I'm a Microsoft Fanboy too, and if you've been using Windows Phone 7, you wouldn't have had any issues with Windows 8, I have Windows 8 and it's a great operating system, people are exaggerating the learning curve, and almost all options are still avialable, they're just burried under the countless of new features (formerly known as Windows Live & Microsoft Office Live).
They have the code to do it already why not just do it?
http://www.facebook.com/dnationsr David E Nation Sr
why would they put a start button that takes you to the metro start screen..we have one of those now..it's called the windows key….lol
http://www.facebook.com/vanminh.nguyen.73 Văn Minh Nguyễn
because it would be more "touch-friendly", seriously it would, going with your fingers to that little corner is even more annoying than with a mouse, I have a mouse and keyboard and it works great on Windows 8, ¿but going for touch on the desktop mode? it's Windows XP Tablet P.C. Edition all over again. So the ability to swithc with the start-button would be a major improvement.
Jeff Jones
Now if we could just get Metro apps in resizable windows. Natively.
http://www.facebook.com/people/Jim-Dawkins/100002207329301 Jim Dawkins
yes. yes. and hell yes. This is one of the most "annoying" aspects of windows 8.
I believe if the Modern UI apps were resizable they would effectively become Desktop apps, thus defeting the purpose of the whole Moder UI interface. This is what MS needs to do:
Welcome to Windows 8 setup. Please choose your "experience":
1. Desktop and Modern UI
2. Desktop UI (with maybe a expandable/collapsible star menu/screen)
3. Modern UI (if installing in tablets was possible)
It would have saved MS so much grief and bad reviews.
Choice, MS. The problem is choice. Like in Linux.

They also just used bulk usage statistics so the mass of small-time users outweighed the smaller number of power users. (Leaving them with no option but to move to Apple or Linux for their next generation of PCs).
Both the timing and the usage of statistics were seriously flawed.

Moving to either Apple or a Linux based O.S. would have a higher learning curve than Windows 8, let's face it, Windows 8 is WINDOWS 8, I've migrated from Windows XP to O.S. X and went straight back after 5 months of hell, I've migrated to Windows 8 later and learned it within an hour. Still have Windows 8 and still love Windows 8.

Oh Microsoft. The days of force feeding your customers is over. Do the apple thing. Make things that actually appeal to your users.
A start button that takes me to the start screen is just stupid. I don't want to ever see the metro interface since I have no need for it. I don't care about MS's desire to squeeze software developers for 30% of their sales revenue. It's my computer and I should be able to use it the way I want to use it, not the way MS thinks I should use it. Until it boots to desktop, has a normal start menu, and the ability to completely disable metro they aren't getting my money.
As long as boot to desktop and the Start button are back, the Start menu is useless, the Start screen acomplishes all its functions and with the new tiles sizes it will allow me to do everything I used to do with Windows 7!!!
A ha-ha-haa !!! This is just comedy. Hey, good for them though for listening to their customers.
The M$ focus and Doubling down on the Metro Start Screen makes me wonder about exactly WHAT the 'Metro Apps' REALLY are.
When you consider that the push was to make Windows 8 deliver a Tablet or smartphone-like experience to the PC user– I thought about what the Initial App Screen of today's smartphones & iPhones are REALLY About.
What are the App Icons you see n a Phone when you first buy it– Service Apps: Facebook, Weather.com, CNN, Twitter….
And remember that a lot of those apps were HARD-CODED into the Phone. You will ALWAYS see them, and hopefully intereact with the services, unless you MOVE the icon OFF your phone screen. But you CAN NOT UN-INSTALL THEM.
And those Apps didn't arrive on your phone 'Gratis'. There was a financial deal behind that App icon.
So it may be with the Start Screen. Especially when I consider that the point of the Start Screen Apps was for them to be a 'Interactive mini-windows' on Services that Users find important. Like email, weather, & Facebook.
All well and good, except that when I want to know those things, I open a browser.
M$ and the Start Screen is Bypassing my control and making that Interactive Web Service ALWAYS ON, whether I want it or not.
Think about it– Yeah, I know a lot of Windows 8 aficionados may be all gung-ho about the Start Screen…but what happens when other APP Tiles start appearing on your Start Screen after a Windows Update…Like Mcafee Scanner? (Uh-Oh?..don't think that can't happen? BET On it!) What if you don't USE Facebook, but Facebook is suddenly front & center, reminding you that you need to Log-in and Update your Friends? And a whole host of others…
It may seem somewhat a stretch, but not out of the question. Because if M$ can MONETIZE the Start Screen, it's a Boon for them…but a Loss for US. Because to me– an APP is NOT a Program.
An APP on the Phone is a Service that the system WANTS you to Use because it'll make $$$ for them.
A Program on your PC is software that you open and use because YOU have a use for it, Nothing More, nothing Less.
So BEYOND the really silly argument over the Start Screen vs the Start Menu– the true Question I now have about Windows 8 is 'WHOSE WINDOWS IS IT?"
Is Windows 8 and its now infamous 'Start Screen' really "MY PC"?
Or is it really a Vehicle for M$ and its new $ervice Partner$ to have an opportunity everytime I touch the Keyboard (Or the screen) to try and sell me something I don't want? My PC is my Work Tool. I don't WANT an OS that turns it into an Always On Mall Shopping Window.
Damian Shaheen
I guess no one remembers windows 98? It was Horrible till windows fixed it .Then they repackaged it, and called it Windows 98 S.E. (Second Edition). Did windows give this holy edition to existing users? No, it was a new OS purchase to everyone. They are doing the same dog and pony show with the 8.1 upgrade. Fix what everyone hates and sell it back to them. This is garbage!!!!
Atomic Shrimp
If you dive in and commit to the change, it's really not so bad.
I hated Win8 the first few times I saw it, then I hated it some more when I spent an hour setting up a couple of new PCs for relatives, then I happened to spend a day or two setting up and playing with yet another, and I discovered that I didn't really hate it at all.
Thing is, yes, I missed the Start menu, but why? My Start menu was a terrible mess – it had three screen-height columns of installed applications and their folders – finding what I wanted in there was a nightmare – so I resorted to creating desktop shortcuts (which I can still do in Win8 – and I can pin them to the Metro Start for good measure), and for other things, I'd have to click Start>programs, then type the first letter of the thing I was looking for and hope I remembered it right (which I can still do, except better – hit the Windows key and start typing the name, and it's found).
I like the flat Win8 theme better than the pointless transparency of Aero glass, I really like Win8's boot times – and the refinements that have been added to other things such as the file move/copy dialogs.
The too-many-clicks activity of shutting down is about my only remaining gripe with Win8.
Win8 is not 'another Vista' Vista was buggy and awkward in important ways (clunky implementation of UAC, for example). Win8 is disliked simply because it's different – not because it's objectively bad.
http://www.facebook.com/lance.guinto Lance Guinto
Subjective, of course. I dislike Windows 8 because it's more of a chore to do anything, as compared to Windows 7.
Atomic Shrimp
It can be a chore if you're very accustomed to navigating a hierarchical menu to find what you want, but I was already partly weaned off that by the Win7 start menu search box.
So for example, if I want to uninstall a program, the Start menu method (which is really a holdover from XP and Win98) is to click Start>Control Panel>Uninstall a program.
But in Win7, you can also click Start, then start typing 'Unins..' and you'll see 'Uninstall a program' as one of the search results – and this is the same in Win8, except the click of the start menu is replaced by a press of the Windows key – IMO, that's a small improvement, because it's a keypress followed by several more keypresses, rather than a mixture of mouse and keyboard.
I'm occasionally frustrated by the lack of functionality in Metro Apps – for example, I try to perform some action on an email, only to realise I'm in the App version of Mail, rather than my Hotmail/Outlook account in a browser.
Subjective as you say, but in my experience, the Start menu often wasn't a very efficient way of working in the first place – it was just familiar.
http://www.facebook.com/lance.guinto Lance Guinto
I know of the Start Search in both Windows 7 and 8. Like, for instance, both could be accessed by a click to the bottom left (assuming I didn't move the taskbar), as well as the Windows key. Both of them don't always get the results I want, since of course, nothing is perfect, but Windows 7 gets it right most of the time, and I don't have to click "Files / Settings / Apps" as an additional step.
I, too, don't want to frequently switch from keyboard to mouse and vice versa, and Windows 7 works just fine for that.
Atomic Shrimp
That's interesting – because I don't think I've ever really used the Windows key to bring up the Start menu (I always used the mouse – I guess this is a habit Ingrained since before keyboards had that key) – so you're right – if you were hitting the Windows key then typing in Win7, there is an additional click if the thing you seek is not a program.
And there are undoubtedly additional clicks in some other areas (shutdown being the most boneheaded of these).
BUT… I still don't think this makes Win8 a failed/flawed release in the same way as were, say, Windows ME or Vista – ME was just horribly unstable, Vista was awkward in a more fundamental way that involved what the OS could and could not do, as opposed to how the user interacts with it.
IMO, Win8 is quite a solid OS – and includes some nifty enhancements. I still use Win7 at work (and we probably won't be moving to Win8 there), but for home and personal use, I'm liking Win8, and nearly every one of my initial reservations about it turned out to be just resistance to change.
http://www.facebook.com/vanminh.nguyen.73 Văn Minh Nguyễn
True, although I was a Windows XP-user before migrating, I had to use Windows 7 at work and I hated its start-menu, the search option was annoying, and this menu isn't REMOVED in Windows 8, it has just MOVED to the charms bar.
On Windows XP I could click on start and find a list of programs after clicking on the "all programs" option, something which changed in Windows Vista, Windows Vista introduced A LOT of new features, and these were cool features, but Vista removed a lot of XP features, Windows 7 put the XP features back, and kept everything Vista, excluding a few apps which could be downloaded as the Windows Live Essentials.
Windows 8 features everything from Windows 7 + the Windows Live Essentials, thus being in fact Windows XP + Windows Vista + Windows 7 (and it operates on the psyche as ALL of them, unfortunately reaching the sales number of Vista, but hitting the shipping order of Windows 7, and having the unified ecosystem dream of Windows XP).
Windows XP was a great O.S. compared to anything before it, and it didn't remove much features, the same is true for Windows 8. Windows XP started of worse than Windows Vista, the same is true for Windows 8.
I just hope for Microsoft that the Xbox will be a success, for the ecosystem to succeed.
http://www.facebook.com/lance.guinto Lance Guinto
They said they'd bring back the Start Button, but what about the Start Menu? I'd like the Start Menu back. Feels much more organized, occupies a smaller space, and gives me one-click access to Documents, Computer, Devices, and the Shut Down Button.
As it stands, the only reason I'm on Windows 8 is because my laptop came with it.
http://www.facebook.com/vanminh.nguyen.73 Văn Minh Nguyễn
There start-menu was never removed, it just moved… to the charms-bar, seriously, move your move to a right corner (ANY right corner) and go in the opposite direction, and TADA, there's your start-menu.
http://www.facebook.com/vanminh.nguyen.73 Văn Minh Nguyễn
Windows 8 is awesome, I'd rather see the Windows Essentials comming pre-installed on Desktop mode too as opposed to only having them in the Metro-mode. I love the modern U.I. but I prefer the desktop-mode (for now), and having only Microsoft Family Safety (Windows Live Family Safety) on it pre-installed (AMONG the FORMER-Windows Live apps ONLY, Windows Defender falls into a different category) , isn't quite good.
Seeing Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Writer, Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Movie Maker and Microsoft SkyDrive pre-installed on the desktop would be a major improvement.
Actually when you look at it there is no big difference between windows 8 and older versions . all they have done have windows open to a new stylized start menu . I don't see what all the fuss is about . I never was a fan of the start menu until windows 8 . What did it do . I guess for people who prefer the long drawn out process of opening the start menu and double clicking on the program or file they want to open that's fine . But I prefer having my most used programs files and shortcuts on the task bar or desktop . now with the start page on windows 8 I start off there and am free to have access to my favorite programs and files right from start up with the addition of apps . Why did they call it the start menu in the first place . When windows actually started off at the desktop . It was a misnomer that has now been corrected in windows 8 .
For fucks sake, the first good thing windows has done in years and they have regressed at the will of the sheeple. Great!
i find it a bit misleading to have your title "Windows 8.1 will bring back the Start button" and then display a picture of the third-party software version of the start button.
Dan Swift
Wrong they did not put it back the button only takes it back to metro,I know this for fact I'm on it right now.
the start button has been there all along you just had to mouse into the corner and why all the complaints about the metro screen its just a blinged out version of the start menu and it actually is now the start menu

I would make certain that everything is rendered before attempting Print To Tape (you really wouldn't use Edit to Tape with a DSR-11 since you do not have insert editing capabilities with this deck and without RS422 interface). In fact, I never use PTT but just play from timeline. Critical here is rendering (mixing down) audio. That is so often a cause of dropped frames. I would also strongly consider getting your DSR11 and FW drives off the same bus. Add a separate FW card for your drives. This is our latest version of "take two aspirin and call me in the AM."

Reviews for Sweet-and-Sour Popcorn Chicken
Sort By :
"Delicious! I made this exactly as written and served it with the Fried Rice and Egg Drop Soup from the same reader."
"I love this recipe, it tastes just like take out but I know what ingredients are going into the meal. I do prefer using cooked cubed chicken as opposed to the breaded popcorn chicken. I need to make this again! It's great!!"
"I made these for a group of friends last night who were just hanging out and they devoured them. I definitely prepped before I started cooking though and I put the chicken in the oven not the microwave to give them a crispier texture. Absolutely delicious!"
"I love this recipe. The sauce is wonderful!! The only thing about this recipe to be aware of is to prep everything before you start to cook. I'm a prep as I go cook and that was a little difficult with this recipe."
"This is really excellent and a creative way to use popcorn chicken. Way tastier than take out. My husband and kids loved it! I will add this to anytime we want a Chinese food night."
