what do/would you use a virtual keyboard for ?

[JeffHCross]

simple lack of communication

Making a ship disappear is not lack of communication. Turning off a code check and introducing an obvious bug isn't, either.

You mean in Windows? If you don't have a keyboard / are not physically capable of using the keyboard, it's very useful. Personally I have to use it once in a while when our computers stop responding to the keyboard and I need to reboot the system to get in back in order.

the designers should be able to look at their game for 5 minutes and know something isnt there and be able to tell the testers.

Well, first, you're horribly oversimplifying it, but I'm sure that's intentional exaggeration on your part. Second, it's clear that no one had told the testers anything about that issue. Hell, if the developer had told anyone that he had done that, it would have been fixed immediately. You're right that if the testers had been told, it wouldn't be a funny story. The larger issue is that the programmer chose to do that. That's what made my jaw drop.

They would have likely just been made available in the past couple of days. It's a new update for one of the TF2 characters... and for some reason, some people go nuts over anything TF2, much less anything Valve.

Hope everybody that's affected by the power outages is staying safe. I think the majority of my extended family is without power, though thankfully I didn't even have a flicker. 1.3 million in the DC area are without power, and with the high 95 today and 98 tomorrow, I hope everyone found somewhere to go.

Yeah, we lost power here in town yesterday afternoon (not even 5 minutes into the storm and bam, instant black in the house, all with a tornado warning in the county to our south, rotation in the storm not even 15 miles to our south, and the last couple radar scans making it appear that the rotation was moving northeast towards us), but came back on after only two hours. Many other areas around here are still without power (well over 10,000 without power in Paulding and Putnam counties), entire cities in the dark, and some recent estimates are they might not even see power again for at least 5-7 days.

While it was a giant, widespread event with this super derecho, it cut through sections of Ohio while leaving others untouched. The six county area in NW Ohio got hammered, while most of the rest of northern Ohio got nothing more than a breeze or mild wind. Columbus and mid-Ohio got hammered, SE Ohio down around West Virginia got hammered. I think Cincinnati area ended up ok. So it pretty much cut a swath through the middle of Ohio from NW Ohio, through the middle and SE Ohio into West Virginia and parts of Pennsylvania, before heading for DC and the east coast like a bat out of hell.

I hope its just because he decided to stop wasting time on message boards and not because of something worse?

Dunno. OS bought them. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx was happy to sell out, from what I saw.
