Assume you mean Office 15 (aka 2013)? @TheMetroShow Weigh in Wednesday: Thoughts on Office 13? http://t.co/XGp8WT7x #office13

Looks like my Gmail account got hacked. If you got any weird emails from me from Gmail, which I rarely use, delete them!

Wow. This is the fiercest thunder and lightning I've seen around our house in quite awhile.

How do I stop all the pornbots from following me on Twitter??

I used to do that quite a bit.

Easily the coolest thing to come out of Google I/O this week: http://t.co/1EOkpl9Z via @engadget

I've certainly seen Rhinde being hard to kill where there is a lot of flicker, but it sounds like you're seeing something new. I've also seen items in those rooms to the right of the White Castle, but perhaps it is, as you suggest, the bat moving things around. I've never seen the bat not moving, though! That is definitely weird.

I think Star Trek: SOS is base more on Star Trek: The Motion Picture than the T.V. show. It was released near the same time as the movie and uses the same font as the movie for the "Star Trek" title.

M*A*S*H was based on the T.V. show which was based on a movie...

OK, this looks like a bad dump. Supercharger ROMs have a file size which is a multiple of 8448 bytes (so 8448, 16896, 25344, 33792, etc). This one is one byte shy of 32K (32767), so the autodetection fails. Maybe try downloading the correct sized version?? I'm wondering, where did this ROM come from? I have no idea. I didn't dump it myself so I'm sure I downloaded it somewhere, but I can't remember where. I will look for some better ROMs.

Can you provide the ROM? It really should have defaulted to the correct behaviour. Sure. Here's my ROM of Phaser Patrol, one of the ones I have to manually set for it to work.PHASOR.BIN

I like Asteroids better. For one thing, on Stella (which is all I have to play on at the moment), Suicide Mission is really glitchy and hard to see. But I miss having momentum when you use the thrusters and there is just too much flicker (rare for a Starpath game). Still, I like that they tried to give it a vector graphics look and it's cool how the Asteroids, or whatever they're supposed to be, change shapes as they fly around. This game shouldn't be flickering in Stella. Make sure you're using OpenGL rendering with vsync turned on (both in Video Settings), and make sure phosphor mode is turned on (which is the default for this game anyway). What version of Stella are you using? Version 3.7.2 was just released; I recommend upgrading if you're using an older version. Turning on the phosphor mode did the trick. For some reason, auto-detect has never worked for me with Supercharger games, so I have to manually change the settings for them. I am already running the newest version. Nice job on it, by the way!

It's not because you've played them more. They ARE easier, full stop. Home games, unlike arcade games, do not have a profit motive to kill you as fast as possible. Fair enough. Regardless, I enjoy them more than the arcade originals whether or not they are empirically "better" or not.

I never spent that much time in arcades, so most of my experience with "arcade" games was on our Atari. So I still prefer the Atari versions of most games, including Asteroids, Space Invaders, and even Pac-Man, to the arcade originals. For one thing, they're a lot easier, since I've played them so much more.

At the Apple Store with Beth, whose iPhone no longer takes a charge. Tempted to yell, "But my Windows Phone is working great!"
