A trip into space...no friggin way..NASA has been doing it for years and recently, look how many accidents they have had. I am sure there is some liabillity waiver you sign saying you are entitled no criminal action against the company for loss of life or limb and entitled to no fiduciaryl compensation either to yourself or family should anything happen...so if one was terminally ill, this might be no so bad but I am , thus so far, pretty healthy...(thanks be to the higher power..uh, whomever or whatever that is)

I will settle for any prize I dont have to pay for. The unfortunate thing is no one i know was a referral so i only got 1300 points and a letter saying tough luck, someone else beat ya to the answer for the meta puzzle (no biggie anyway).

It was fun and the puzzles were extremely cool and some of them were REALLY abstract and out there but it just shows what one can do when joined by many in solving an issue...(are you listening "Mr. Prez"???)

I hope "Ultimate Vista" is not interpreted as "Ultima Vista", ultima in spanish means "last one"

I wonder if after they strap you in the seat they will say "Hasta la vista baby..."

There is some language in the rules that says that the trip is a high risk thingy, and I'm 100% they will make you

sign a lenghty liability waiver.

Cheers

From the rules:

First through Fourth Prize: The remaining potential winners will be selected from all eligible entries received in a random drawing to take place on February 1, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. (ET). And will be notified by e-mail and/or U.S. Mail or overnight delivery service within 48 hours of drawing. Winners may be required to sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and where legal, Publicity Release within fourteen (14) days of issuance of notification.

But a thing they have mistaked is that they should have provide at least the rules in all languages... (either, it is really simplier for english spoken people to solve the puzzles, but... :) )

From the official rules I thought this bit was funny...

"Winners residing in Canada will be required to correctly answer, without assistance of any kind whether mechanical or otherwise, a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question to be administered by telephone or regular mail."

Thats abit unfair isnt it? Ha

I think that is because they should have some strange law in there :)

So tomorrow, realistically, for all of the other prizes..

You have 1 minute to answer the following question...

What is the square root of 4?

Is it A) 2 or B) 3?

Congratulations!

    • Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are finally here. After skipping one week, Microsoft is back to releasing preview builds for Windows Insiders to try. This time, Insiders in the Experimental Channel can download build 26300.8687. Its changelog does not contain anything major, but there is still useful new stuff, such as some new conveniences for File Explorer, Windows Update improvements, better Windows Search, a new search provider for the built-in GIF library, and more. Here is the changelog: [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announcement blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [File Explorer] Middle-click to open a folder in a new tab is now supported in the Address Bar and the Home page for a more consistent and efficient tabbed navigation experience across File Explorer. Improved screen reader announcements for conflict resolution dialog ("Which files do you want to keep?") when moving/copying files. Made some more improvements to how File Explorer responds to increased text scaling. [Search] Finding apps is more forgiving. Search is better at handling typos, dropped letters, extra letters, and partial words for apps. Queries like “utlook” can still find Outlook. Settings results are improving. We’ve made ranking improvements to help more relevant settings appear higher in results. [Taskbar] Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar. Fixed an issue where tooltips might unexpectedly appear on top of the Start menu icon in the taskbar when using the taskbar in an alternate position. Also fixed a few other visual polish issues when using the taskbar with small icons. [Windows setup] The digital safety of users and supporting families is central to how we think about the Windows experience. We're improving information on parental controls and their availability during Windows setup, so families can more easily understand available protections and make informed choices from the very beginning. [Input] Update: The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of Tenor. Fixed an issue that was causing the mouse cursor to potentially move in the wrong direction in recent Insider builds on secondary monitors when set to portrait mode. [Remote Recovery Management] Adding a recovery remote management plug-in for extending WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers [Audio] Fixed an issue resulting in audio not working for some Insiders after the latest flights. [Settings] Fixed an issue impacting the reliability of Settings > Apps > Installed Apps after the latest flights. [General Reliability] If you were experiencing freezes in the previous flight when interacting with search, Notepad, or certain other scenarios, that should be resolved now. [Other] When using dark mode, if you open "Run new task" from Task Manager, it will now show in dark mode too. As usual, changes above are rolling out gradually. You can find the release notes here in the official documentation.

      Im in Ohio, and my VPN endpoint is in Boston. If that helps, it does happen both on and off the VPN. and again only in Edge.

      It is such a shame. I used to really respect Neowin's articles.

      So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
