  1. Re: The biggest problem with windows on Broken Windows 10 Update Causes Reboot Loops For Some Users · · Score: 1

    Suspend and hibernation both work on most systems without problem, I am unfamiliar with "suspend sedation" (is this where you roofie your computer?). Two-finger tap is an easy to find option in the graphical settings manager, and I am unsure what you mean by wifi "roaming." Is that retard speak for "connects automatically" or something?

    Maybe I'm already a criminal and I just don't know it yet.

    You are, and so is everyone else. The current system is designed in such a way that it is impossible for one person to read all the current laws within their lifetime, much less understand them. Not to mention that reading some of them is a crime in itself because some of our laws are a state secret, so now we have court cases where there is no public access to the courtroom or records after the case is over.

    So, not only is it impossible to know all the laws it is also illegal to know them all, yet ignorance of the law is still no defense.
    Our set of laws needs completely wiped and rewritten.

    This will never end as long as a government exists. It doesn't matter if we completely destroy every remnant of the current one and build a new one, it will start again within the first decade of the new government.

    This is exactly my plan for when Win7 is no longer patched, except I don't need Windows for anything other than games. I would only need a handful of websites on the whitelist as well. I only need steam, nexusmods, silverlock (for skse, obse, ect), and that is pretty much it.

    Notepad++ is pretty nice, but it does not hold a candle to several of the Linux based text editors.
    For instance:
    kate http://kate-editor.org/
    gedit https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Ge...
    vim http://www.vim.org/
    emacs https://www.gnu.org/software/e...

    Like I said, Notepad++ is a good editor, and I use it myself when forced to use Windows, but it does not compare to what is offered in Linux. Also, most things in Linux are well documented. Sadly there are some things that are not, but practically nothing I have ever needed documentation for in Windows has had decent documentation.

    You truly are a dumbass. It is an emergency brake for use when the hydraulic breaks fail. If you ever take a look at it it is wire operated and works a separate set of brakes on the rear wheels which are drum brakes. Somehow I doubt you have ever worked on a car beyond checking the oil, if that.

    I would say no. They are better described in terms of football practice (or team sports practice in general).
    When you scrimmage during practice you have two groups opposing each other. One group takes the side of offense and the other takes the side of defense. They even put on different colored jerseys so that they can be differentiated from one another. Each play they work against each other, but they are both furthering progress on the same goal, to improve their collective power.
    It isn't as obvious among politicians because there isn't an obvious coach telling both sides what to do and what they are doing wrong, but that doesn't mean that they are not there.

    Don't forget that our bullying is what put all these different fanatical groups in power to begin with. The US has never been interested in equal rights other than on paper, at least the government hasn't.
    You are a damn fool if you think that disarming a society makes them any more free or safe. In every instance in history the opposite has happened. When the guns are taken away from citizens tyranny is soon to follow. Do you really think that ISIS would have a chance in hell of surviving if the citizens of those countries were armed? The reason they have so much power now is because guns were taken away from the citizens long ago.

    I'm not entirely sure what you meant here, so sorry if I am interpreting your words wrong.
    Our country, with its massive stockpile of nuclear weapons has absolutely no right telling Iran that they can't have their own. The only purpose we have with denying them nuclear weapons is to ensure that we can easily push them around without fear of a counterattack.

    There is no company B. The only people searching for cures are independent researchers, or at a university.

    But on the other hand she can no longer tell you nothing is wrong when you ask because it is blatantly obvious she is mad as hell about something. She would be forced to either blatantly say that she refuses to tell you the reason, or actually tell you what she is angry at you over!
    This could actually be a very large boon to relationships. Since she is going to be telling you what the problem is you can actually do something about fixing the problem instead of agonizing over what she could possibly be angry about, and lets face it, we never know what you are angry about girls. If she doesn't tell you the problem and blatantly tells you that she is not going to tell you, well nobody is going to take her side when she says that instead of "he should know why I'm mad at him" which is what is often said to others to get them to take their side.
