chaud··on Settings required to run Windows 8 in VirtualBox
Yeah, I had enable absolute pointing device unchecked. Silly answer to go with my silly question.
chaud··on Settings required to run Windows 8 in VirtualBox
Has anyone been able to make mouse integration work correctly? That is the only thing that I haven't been able to make work correctly.

I looked at your site after it finally started working again during your segment. Why is the Macbook Pro ranked #1 for gaming laptops? It has superior build quality, but gaming performance leaves plenty to be desired compared to many of the laptops below it. It also costs much more, which doesn't seem to be factored in to the price.

The ASUS G73SW-A1 listing says this in the Display summary:

"Looking at the screen both indoors and outdoors is a generally enjoyable experience"

Then this in the Display details:

"The reflections on this screen cause its usability to be close to minimal. Users will only be able to comfortably view the display in either dark environment or with the least possible amount of lighting. Outdoor use will prove to be absurd; patience and continuous focus will be required for any actual and efficient use of this laptop under medium lighting conditions."

These seem contradictory, and there were little inconsistencies everywhere I looked.

It is a fun idea/project though!

Agreed, and I am sure if I was presenting I would have problems of my own. That doesn't take away from the value (or amusement) you get from seeing other people's problems.

I could watch this all day. These people are presenting with such fundamental problems and it is fun to see them try to downplay them when questioned.
chaud··on Hello browsers, this is how clearing history should be done
I ended up writing a query to delete duplicate history entries older than X days from my Firefox history to solve the slowness problem, I would imagine you could do something similar if you really wanted to remove all but visited during X.
chaud··on Google Maps goof results in headache for homeowner
I had better luck more recently, submitted on Mar 8, confirmed on Mar 17th, fixed on Jun 8th. It was a simple building label on the wrong building.
chaud··on Google Removes More Than 11 Million .co.cc Domains From Search Results
These sites are masquerading as news sites with poor English rehashing of old news, or just pasting news directly from other sites. They aren't quality results that belong in Google News.
chaud··on Alternatives to GoDaddy
Their admin interface is significantly worse and they lack many of the options found on other registrars like Namecheap or Gandi. They don't even offer DDNS or TXT records.
chaud··on Google Removes More Than 11 Million .co.cc Domains From Search Results
Take a look at game search terms, like Warcraft. There are plenty of sites that sell in game currencies or items, along with sites that republish news from other sites mixed in the results.
chaud··on Fixes to memory footprint and garbage collection arrive in Firefox 7
Amusingly enough, Firebug has significant memory usage/leak issues and most users are much better off using it in another profile to keep down memory usage.
chaud··on CloudFlare: A website security product accidentally makes sites 60% faster
I have been running my site through it for some time now as well as testing an uptime monitoring script via Google App Engine someone on Reddit wrote.

If anyone is interested in the very limited data, it is at http://isitupordown.appspot.com/v/urbad with "ActualServer" being the VPS itself, and CDNCache being CloudFlare.

chaud··on Show HN: Republics.us - Integrate your Internet
Are there any sites similar to ThemeForest that have designs better suited to content heavy, non Wordpress sites? I haven't come across anything that is even close to the quality level yet.
