Things have gotten so busy for me the last few weeks that I've fallen behind on my web browsing!

One of the few XP machines in our organization freaked out and I wasted about a day trying to repair it. Had a boot error that I've only seen with Vista/7 that had me baffled. Also realized that I had no XP media or tools so I had to scramble for some. The PC is only two years old and came with 7 but the user has an app that requires XP. We're paying a ton of money to finally move to a version that works with 7 64 bit but the project's not done yet, so after I put a new hard drive in it's back to XP.

Would the Windows XP mode available in 7 Pro not work for it? Or is it a convenience issue?

It's like the Twitter version of tech support. I then spent 5min trying to paraphrase my problem and troubleshooting steps I'd already taken into their dumb form.

I work with people in their 30's that do this. I don't understand it. Back when I was involved with our call center we would see a massive spike in callouts when a new hit game or WoW release came out. Who calls into work so they can play a new video game?

Yeah, but there's a difference between "being drunk at work" and "having been drunk two weekends ago". Don't workplace drug tests tend to be detecting the latter? It's not like someone needs to analyze your urine to find out if you're high right now.

Correct, but with the rash of firings because of stuff people have posted on Facebook that involved alcohol, I dunno if "having been drunk two weekends ago" is as safe as it used to be either.

You get all the basic cards for a class in the first 10 levels, which is all of like 10-12 games of a class. That's like the exact antithesis of an "explicit Korean grind".

Yeah, there's levels past 10, but that's only for golden cards (Hearthstone's analogue to foils in physical TCGs) which are just aesthetic.
