Out of the Blue

Oh yeah.

SST I forgot they showed him. Yeah, he would be fine. Sorry about saying M being killed, I guess that would be considered a spoiler

I like Judi Dench in the role but assumed since I thought the character was killed she would be replaced in the next movie. Spoilers: Ralph Fiennes took over at the end... he's one of the few actors who has the presence to take over from Judi Dench IMO.

I could have sworn that at the end of the movie a successor was announced. One who played a role in the movie.

Here's a link that speculates, and I thought it was mentioned at the very end of the movie:

SST: Link (Do not mouse over if you've not seen the movie - apparently you can't "s {" a link?)

Never been happier to be wrong. Wonder who they will cast as the new M?

I assumed it would be the same person as the end of skyfall, but maybe that person isn't locked in?

Best Bond Film Ever. Yes Ever. Notice I said Bond 'Film' not Bond 'actor'.

Damn if only Connery were 30 years younger...

Craig is the best Bond by far IMHO. Dark and troubled, which apparently matches better with the novels. Unfortunately I believe he's already said he's done with the role. (hope I'm wrong)

You'll be happy to note he'll be back at least two more times.

LOL! @ nin. I also just realized that my Kindle's autocomplete function turned "Naga" into "Nagasaki".

Anyways the feel is the big thing. The G5 is infinitely more comfortable than cheapo plastic mice. The one-touch DPI setting is useful for sniping or other instances requiring finesse (like graphic design). Customizable weights is just gravy (I tried the G5 weightless for a while but I prefer a mouse with heft).

What he said.

Being able to change DPI from one weapon to another is priceless. I am currently using Razer Diamondbacks on all of my machines. I like the size, feel, weight, and the standard DPI is good for everything.

And while the subject is up, who is using a mechanical keyboard? I'm looking to replace my Logi G15 (the original model), still works like a champ but the backlight is on the outs and while the keys themselves don't show any wear, the rest of the thing is pretty haggard.

I want something much smaller than a G15 and I really have no use for macro keys, having long since abandoned using them. Figured I'd go in for a pound and get a Cherry-switch mechanical. I did all the research regarding the various styles of switches but since I'd be coming off decades of rubber dome I don't think any particular switch style would matter to me. I'm extremely tempted by the just-released Cooler Master QuickFire TK which has an incredibly small footprint and a full backlight.

Okay, for all you mouse-o-philes. Can you explain to me (maybe) exactly what benefits you get from a 60-100 mouse over the typical baseline 9 dollar Logitech stuff that I use?

I'm sure the expensive ones last longer, as I typically replace the mouse every 6-8 months or so, but on the flipside, I spend less than ten bucks on each one.

It's not really so much the money, as that I'm genuinely curious if there's 50+ dollars worth of noticeable difference.

Thanks

I bought the Razed MMO mouse (the Naga maybe?) though I never play MMO's because it had 16 programmable buttons and I like having all those buttons available. I paid around 70 bucks. It's an excellent mouse to be sure but I'm not sure it is worth the big markup.
