I was more bitter about that argument earlier on but meh. I'm indifferent about that game. It'll **** me off if we don't win the next one though. I mean, every body has those bad days. Mike modana already had his golf schedule planned out.

All the "good" teams are out, except for NJ

What about ottawa!?

Wow, it is sad people are doing play-by-play on the board here, don't you people ever get up from your computers? So Anaheim beat the #1 and #2 seeds. It took 4 loses for Mike Modano to give them some credit, how sad. Anyways, I just want to say that Dallas played one hell of a series, in all honesty. Giguere didn't play great and they still won, so that is not an issue. They disallowed and allowed goals were offsetting, so no one can complain about that. Looks like we just have beat up Vancouver. I have game 3 and 4 tickets, I can not wait for that atmosphere.

The canucks game is a riot! The goaltending was soo horribly hilarious. 7-2 right now. i'm laughing my ass off. I should be ****ed but its quite funny. Cloutier is funny to watch. His mentality is funny. Same with auld. (what our 10th goalie in 2 years to play a game)

Ya, 3:3 right now.

im assuming you werent able to get tickets then...probably a good thing...

i don't think it's sad, it's just that we all got involved in this thread, and since we can't watch the game together (which would be sooo much fun :)) we just talk about it on here. none of my friends in cali even like hockey (it was a different story back east) so this is all i have :p

Well i have a tv tuner in my computer. My sister and dad stopped watching the game and my mom was watching decorating shows. I was also chatting on line too. Next time I'm staying at school and watching the game from the pub... if its not jam packed.

Roller hockey was big down in cali wasn't it? Lol, i know ice hockey isn't good because i remember my ****ty A team back in peewee simply creaming cali's all-star team.

the So-Cal roller hockey teams could probably demolish a lot of canada's A and AA level hockey teams, theyre just amazing, i suggest you watch, its more entertaining than ice hockey

LOL no thats completely different, roller hockey is strictly like ice hockey, except its played on plastic tiles instead of ice, and u use inline skates instead of ice skates... and its 4 on 4 instead of 5 on 5, otherwise its exactly the same. Same equipment (except for skates). the puck is still a puck, except its modified to slide on the plastic tiles. Use the same strategies and plays, the game is fiarly quick since you're less restricted. Honestly, i play both ice and roller hockey, and roller hockey is 10x funner to play than ice hockey. Here are some pictures.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
