I don't think Windows Starter has that, as it's nowhere to be found.

Oh well, there's always Windows XP...

What doesn't it have? If there's no Edit option in the toolbar, that's because you have to get a video up first. Here's a screenshot:

Exactly, the edit bar looks much much simpler.

I thought so, well, I ended up using my other computer, which has Windows XP, instead, figured this is all I'd get from Windows Starter.

I always wondered this, any of you guys remember unreal tournament '99
You have the boss skin which is I think called Xan.. the robot one
However online I have also seen 2 others, both carry the same robotic body model (not Xan) (quite tall with yellow and your team colour) and have a joker like face that if you chat appears with tongue hanging out and another form of robot head. I remember I had those skins and then they vanished but they were part of the normal UT I think. What were they and how can I get them?

Slightly legal question:
If a man purposely poisoned his fruit tree so no animal can eat them. And the kids next door stole some of them, ate, became seriously sick or even died. Would the man be under any legal responsibility? Just assume that his tree is quite out in open in his front yard, without any warning signs or fences

No. The neighbour bears a responsibility to watch over the kids (16,18,21 legal age limits applies), and in fact, can be charged under criminal law for theft on behalf of the dead/alive kids.

Tort law of negligence can go fly a kite because the man owns the tree, he has every right to do whatever he wants to it without even telling anyone. So long as his intention is not to poison the kids next door, nor can it be proven (which is actually VERY difficult because animals eat the fruits more often than the kids, and if it is the kids, the owner can actually sue his neighbour under the same portion of the law + tort of nuisance).

Question : I am getting a new phone: Samsung Galaxy S2 or iPhone 4S? I am looking for easy customisation on both the hardware (stickers and such) and software, as well as availability of support from sphreak (Smartphone crackers, borrowing from the ancient term of "Phone Freak") enthusiasts.

If you really value customization I would recommend the Samsung Galaxy S 2 but I'm a bit biased since I just can't stand systems that are built around pay walls. Being a software engineer tends to make me want to tinker with my stuff's software.

On the iPhone and iPad, why can't I use languages without Roman letters for passwords? Is there an app that'll let me set, say, Farsi or Korean passwords? Using actual Farsi and Korean letters, of course.

What do you mean? Are you talking about the Passcode lock feature? If so, I guess it's an unfortunate limitation of iOS, since you can only create passcodes using the English keyboard.

Can Lunchbox be eaten during dinner?

[Endless Soul]

There are several restaurants here in the States that serve breakfast (eggs, pancakes, toast, etc.) all day long, even late at night. So yeah.

A luncbox is a container in which people usually put the food that they will eat for lunch. But what food you put in it and when you eat the food is up to you.

I'm sure eventually we'll have the technology to create comestible lunch boxes.

@genjichan

You can even eat it at 3am in the morning if you like.
