- geez, he's been cynical about everything for over 30 years...then he cashes their checks -- nm - peglegpete Jul 26, 13:41 3
  - But at least he's creating original characters and not recycling old stuff. You know, like Mr. Hyde and Alan Quartermaine. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 26, 13:43 2
    - *grumble* -- nm - Captain Nemo si Jul 26, 13:45

        If there had been no kids, I would have more sympathy for him -- nm - amoxy Jul 26, 13:59 1
        
        I have never understood people that can just walk out on their kids, let alone let them think you died. - ty97 Jul 26, 14:02
        
        i actually think he sounds mentally ill, -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 13:50 5
        
        I think that may well be in the mix, too; and I have sympathy for that. - b. Jul 26, 13:54 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I remember getting mad at a former st-er, for not making an effort to see his kids in far far less time than that. - b. Jul 26, 14:02 2
        
        [deleted] 1

    - Let's assume he did his level best to really make his family think he was dead. - ty97 Jul 26, 13:58 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        That's exactly where I was going. I just want them to able to make him repay the portion they owe the insurance company. - ty97 Jul 26, 14:03 1
        
        [deleted]

  - A quick death is waaaaay too good for him. -- nm - David Jul 26, 14:05 2
    - Teach him to feel empathy. Teach him to feel sympathy. And then use it to crush his soul. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 14:13
    - I have to restrain the urge to advocate that he goes to Gitmo and we "forget" about him. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 26, 14:12

    - I sort of welled up with rage this morning when I heard the new detail. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:55 3
      - *glares at fingers* Huh? -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:55 2
        
        I think they're all welled up with rage. -- nm - Dr.Vermin's diagnosis Jul 26, 13:57 1

  - Can I set an alarm on my phone for Sunday? Or does it have to be within 24 hours? - ty97 Jul 26, 13:20 6
    - calendar will send text or email reminders... -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 26, 13:22 2
      - for iphones, at least, you can set 'em in calendar, reminders, and in clock. -- nm - b. Jul 26, 13:28 1
        
        I'm a big fan of "clock" for important things, because clock-based alarms bypass the mute settings, and I have my phone on mute at all times -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 13:30
    - oh, oh! I figured it out! - ty97 Jul 26, 13:22 2

- It just boggles my mind that they didnt bundle it with a standard normal version. And make the new look something you can move to once comfortable -- nm - Jovian Jul 26, 13:31
- i recomend this, gives you back a start button, also lets you skip metro suite as the startup for windows and go right to the desktop. -- nm - Truman Jul 26, 13:20 1

      - no -- nm - loosilu Jul 26, 12:52
- I ignore the tile interface. If I could rip it out entirely I would. - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Jul 26, 12:43
- for me I call it usable 75% of the time, only because I know how to work around it, mostly -- nm - loosilu Jul 26, 12:38 8
  - and I cannot STAND the start screen. can't find anything. I don't want a button for MUSIC, I want iTunes or WMP. But there's only MUSIC - loosilu Jul 26, 12:39 7

        I've used it on a touch screen. It sorta works. Still not the greatest, though. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 13:12
