I should do all that on New Zealand data, too, actually, and I would probably have done if I could track down all the required time-series data

He's saying, Gooby, please, I would not deceive you, please do not think of me that way, I am your friend, trust me Gooby.

I heard win8 boots fast

i heard that too

it is why i decided to do windows on a boot camp partition rather than emulated

well, part of why

i have read that cold startup on the new macs is like 12 seconds

that is a whole lot faster than what i have now

we'll see!

It does, and the desktop skin is very pretty. When done up right, it rivals OS X, which is looking very mid-aughts with its glossy globes and linen patterns.

Them being at those points correlate with opposition wins in elections, that goes with those quandaries.

My new gaming computer boots in about 15 seconds, maybe a little less. And it doesn't chug at startup, doing whatever the fuck Windows 98/XP/Vista/7 thought was so goddamned important it couldn't wait.

I also thought this week's How I Met Your Mother was very good.

I'm guessing that's on an SSD?

win 8 takes longer to boot than vista if you have a dual boot setup

on my ssd it takes around 45 seconds

Republicans just probably got the ball rolling on Voodoo economics before Reagan was able to take the chair. Pits not like he was extraordinarily involved in policy making.

not US data, dude

I am copying the approach from a paper that did US data, though, and he landed straight on 1978 with a good p-value. that is, right on Volcker.

aioli done!

I think it came out okay.

I like windows 8. The Metro screen doesn't phase me, I can just press the win key and get back to desktop. When I want to launch an app, I just press the win key and start typing what I want. I like windows 8 because it's pretty easy to get around to the things I want to do, more so than win7. I like the win8 file explorer ribbon, how it has folder/media/etc options included so I don't have to go through drop down menus to get those options. I like the integrated dual monitor support, rather than having to use a standalone application solely to do this on windows 7. I actually think their mail app is decent, letting me keep all 6-7 email accounts in one spot.

I really only use the metro app interface to quick launch things I already don't have on my task bar and keep my desktop clear of icons. That and to just get a quick glance at the weather, news, and see if I have any email; and when I'm done I just press the windows key and voila, back to desktop and whatever I need to be doing.

It also boots up in like 10 seconds for me.

OMG

My mom hooked up a windows 8 machine today. I have not heard from since.

EVIL ROBOT ALERT.

Sarksus

they changed the blue screen of death?!

AManFromEarth

Boot time has not bothered me since I stopped using my mom's shitty gateway with Win98 on it.

I think it's like ten or fifteen seconds with my Win7 laptop right now?

I do look forward to the next windows, when they'll have everything ironed out with the metro screen thing.

Windows 7 boots fast if you have a SSD :P

What happened that 8 became the thing today?

if you don't like the new tiles and stuff you can just turn it off, right?

I've just realized I have no clue how to do the hypothesis test that this author does. Not on MLE results. Hmm.

The aioli is not as perfect as I would like it.

But fuck it, I don't really know what to do to get it better

it is very good considering I've made mayonnaise-like things thrice

but the annoying thing is that the first time was perfect, and since I have not been able to replicate that.

Dynamic DNS. It lets you assign a URL to a dynamic IP address. Good for home web servers or if you want to connect to your PC over the Internet.

I have my gmail(s), hotmail, yahoo, school, and army emails all on that default mail tile.
