Remember the 1960's American television series Batman, with Adam West as Bruce Wayne? It was waaaaay before my time. The caped crusader that I'm more familiar with is actually this one... When I first heard of Adam West, it was him doing the Batusi on The Simpsons. I had no idea what was going on, so I looked up Adam West and his sensual dance and found myself face to face with the 1960's Batman.
If you use Ubisoft's uPlay browser extension, you should probably get rid of it right now.

It's that time a year when winter storms begin causing havoc across the United States, and when "rotating outages" are common to help sustain the electrical grid during intense cold periods.

We're on sheet, tab, filter. We want to talk about filter, but we also want to talk about an Excel table or list. It is simply a data set with field names at the top, records in rows, no blanks anywhere and no other data sets touching this data set. When we convert to a table, it does a lot of amazing things. The new keyboard shortcut is "Ctrl T". If data is set up correctly, it will work. Click Ok. You can build a function based on a column of data, i.e. "Alt =" which is the shortcut for sum...

It's called the Golden-i Infinity.

But it's 2017, so how about trying something new, like a haunted house that's not actually there?
You can bet Thor costumes will be prominent among the superheroes seen this Oct. 31.

When I first started with HoloLens development last April, one of the first things I created was a window. The purpose of that window was to be attached to a wall and give the illusion of being in a different space—an effect that is often referred to as a "magic window" effect by developers. My goal was to create the feeling of being in the penthouse of a skyscraper, and it's one that I hope to get back to working on soon.
