Wait, Microsoft put out Windows 10 with a new browser, Microsoft Edge? Just renaming IE isn't going to fix your problems, Microsoft. - JaxSean Jul 29, 11:17 13
- Yeah, it's not IE. Not even a little bit -- nm - oblique Jul 29, 11:22 2

  - I wonder how much of it they took from Chrome and Firefox? -- nm - decline Jul 29, 11:22 5
    - In practical terms, probably very little. It smokes Chrome and FF in some tests and sucks in others -- (link) - oblique Jul 29, 11:26
    - hopefully not too much from Chrome, because while I still use it it's becoming way too bulky and memory-intensive -- nm - ML Jul 29, 11:26 3
      - I was reading a post about this earlier today. -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 29, 11:27
      - Isn't that what all you Chrome users said about Firefox when you switched? - Spawn Jul 29, 11:27 1
        
        Yes. In my daily work and browsing, I use both Chrome and FF at the same time. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 11:27

- Is it MH370? -- nm - budice Jul 29, 11:16
I wonder if there has been any news about MH370 lately? -- nm - znufrii Jul 29, 11:13 5
- I wonder if this pisses off New Yorkers or gets drivers shot. -- nm - TWuG Jul 29, 11:15
- assuming it turns out to be that plane, it's pretty humbling that the only reason they'll find it is that it just turned up on it's own. -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 11:15 3
  - The Indian Ocean is one giant-ass expanse of nuthin'. -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 11:17 1
    - oh, i get why it wasn't 'findable', it's just interesting to me that it turned up this way. -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 11:18
  - our current temp is 32*C, with a humidex "feels like 37*C" - that's about 100*F. -- nm* - Andie Jul 29, 11:16
A piece of plane was found on an island near Madagascar. May be from flight MH370 - TWuG Jul 29, 11:12 2

You can now open and save documents from Dropbox directly in Office 365. - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Jul 29, 11:05 2
- That's a fuck yeah right there. -- nm - Mop Jul 29, 11:08 1
  - I guess if you're on a shared Dropbox that would be good but if you're paying for 365 why wouldn't you use Onedrive? -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Jul 29, 11:09

    - The fact you all know this means their marketing, no matter how whacked out it is, is working. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 29, 11:18
"How to piss off every New Yorker" in 36 seconds is pretty spot on, although only a few of those are NYC-specific. - ty97 Jul 29, 10:44 15

    - Express (when they have sales). -- nm - ty97 Jul 29, 10:51 2
      - Ahh. I went there for a button down last year. Too pricey no wonder you only go when they have sales. - Krusty Jul 29, 10:54 1

U of Cincy officer indicted with murder charges after shooting a man he pulled over in the head. It's unreal. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 29, 10:30 33
- [deleted] 29
  - Very strange. No motive or justification. In his report, the cop said he was dragged by victims car. Not true. - Volnelk Jul 29, 10:41 28
    - Here's the video. -- (link) - ML Jul 29, 10:45 [youtube] 27
      - Actually, listening to that he says something about Delaware with regards to the plates. If the car has Delaware tags, no front plate is required. - TWuG Jul 29, 11:06 2
        
        Nah, as they're pulling to a stop the officer radios in "Ohio George Lincoln Miller 6917". -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 11:11 1
        
        Must mean Delaware county then. -- nm - TWuG Jul 29, 11:13
      - I honestly don't understand what happened at the critical moment. -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 10:50 23

        I doubt it is protocol. - groiny Jul 29, 11:23 3
        
        Driver was certainly giving off a squirrely vibe. -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 11:27 1
        
        Anybody caught for anything likely has that vibe. He didn't have a license on him. He didn't seem dangerous. -- nm - pmb Jul 29, 11:32
        
        [deleted]
        
        Of course it's not protocol, that's why I said he started acting stupidly there. -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 11:22 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        You're nitpicking now. His left are was inside up to the shoulder. -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 11:31

        No, the cop is asking him to remove it: "go ahead and take your seatbelt off" - TWuG Jul 29, 10:59 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        he had to put the car in gear to be able to drive off, that is when the cop - groiny Jul 29, 11:03 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        No, the cop is asking him to take off his seatbelt, and the officer is also trying to open the door but the guy is pulling the door closed again. -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 10:58
        
        contextually I think Dubose tried to drive away -- (edited) - ML Jul 29, 10:55 1
        
        Prosecutor says that the car only moves forward after he is shot. But you may be right. He may have put it in drive, then got shot. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 29, 10:57
        
        Nobody does. It's confusing. Like he tried to get out or something. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 29, 10:51 2
        
        It looks and sounds like the officer tried to open the door as he is asking the driver to remove his seatbelt. - TWuG Jul 29, 10:56
        
        it looks like he was going to take off and drive away. - groiny Jul 29, 10:53
- The original traffic stop was for no front license plate. It's basically cold blooded murder. Cop is going to get life. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 29, 10:31 2

- And he states that he and the Patriots did nothing wrong! - Spawn Jul 29, 11:00
- your face is wrongdoing you big lunk head ... why don't you consider setting an example of owning up to a mistake and apologizing for it - JenBro Jul 29, 10:20 3
  - This got way out of hand and never should have gotten this far. Both sides played this wrong and now it's a mess. - Krusty Jul 29, 10:22 2
    - Which is why the end will probably get a settlement - eag Jul 29, 10:31
