"Live Earth vs. Google Earth - Which One Is Better?"

Considering that they're totally different things, how do you even compare them? Live Earth is the entertainment thing that Al Gore and some other guy came up with.

Doesn't really answer the question:

I remember on more than one occasion bonch leaving a couple pages of 10 comments a piece in a row of nothingness. Now that is an uber-troll. Luckily rj has not stooped that low.

Ocean: Yeah, I knew what you meant by doppelganger. I just needed an excuse to utter the phrase, "fleshy counterpart". :-)

@tayme:

Re: Windows 7 file-type linking from previous article (I've been too busy to respond)

The Windows 7 taskbar contains links to programs when they're not running. You could always drag and drop files onto program links. Windows interprets it similarly to a run command where you have "<program> <datafile>". It doesn't change file type associations in other OS versions. (Let me know if it does in 7)

That's been in Windows for as long as I can remember (dating back to probably at least 3.1).

FYI: You can do the same thing with icons in a standard Quick Launch folder too, but small icons in Quick Launch make it difficult to maneuver with the mouse. If you don't see the black insert bar then you're probably over an app icon.

You missed one Ken:

>>In the vernacular, "Doppelgänger" has come to refer (as in German) to any double or look-alike of a person. <<

This is the definition I was referring to.

>>The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection. They are generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck.<<

Indeed, for this thread has brought back the real Mike Galos. :)

"As someone that survived the bonch years, I do at least give rj some credit for not being *that* bad."

He is pretty close...I remember bonch's posts on MacWorld days...he was truly obsessed with everything Apple. Maybe rj is bonch with a couple of years of maturity???

In terms of the so-called reactionary press release and questioning why Paul might be interested in this, remember that Paul likes France, and that is one of the big additions to this recent update. They also released some new birds-eye for the great state of NJ down around where the good doc lives.

"I'm not sure what's more disturbing... being called a ghost or thinking of Mike Galos as my "fleshy counterpart"."

I think what's more disturbing is that you're supposedly haunting mikegalos.

"think that he is the sadest, most obsessed person that I have ever experienced on the intertubes."

You have seen bonch at work, haven't you? :-)

Hey, but it hasn't been all bad - Ocean has toned it down for fear of being compared to robertsjoe.

Man, if anything proves robertsjoe is a troll, that does. His OT posts up there were totally uncalled for. I have a hard time not believing that he constantly browses this site, ready to spit out nonsense at every turn.

Btw, nice to see you, Mike!

How do you think I feel about it...
