As promised, a fairly spoiler free review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice . Many things have been written about the new Warner Brother's film. Some of them good and many of them, well, not-so-good. Like Techaeris' review by Justin Jelinek, for example: http://goo.gl/69EYLm . Now, I don't know Justin's qualifications for movie reviews or his “geek” cred, but per his own words, “Full disclosure, I have not seen the 2013 Man of Steel movie, so there are some plot points that I am speculating on a bit. I’ve heard enough about the end of that movie though that I don’t feel my speculations are too far of a stretch.” Batman v Superman is definitely a sequel to Man of Steel , carrying much of the same feel and tones of that movie even though much of this one revolves around Bruce Wayne. The film opens at the end of Man of Steel . The Krptonian terraforming ship is sent to the Phantom Zone while Superman and Zod battle through the city of Metropolis, destroying buildings ...

These are the sorts of actions that have the Republicans in the bind they're currently facing. Namely, Trump.

Do you use keyboard shortcuts? I use a few, CTL+X, CTL+P and the like, but rarely do I get deeper than those. I've only recently started toying with Chrome books after installing Neverware's Cloudready ChromiumOS on an old Asus EeePC and haven't really played with it too hard. Years ago, before tablets, I bought the netbook for a light traveling PC to take with me on motorcycle trips. While I'm glad to be able to bring some more life out of it, I haven't really gone anywhere I needed to take it, recently. In hindsight I probably should have brought it to Florida with me in lieu of my laptop, which I barely powered on. Needless to say, I haven't experimented with many of the keyboard shortcuts, either. https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/183101?hl=en
