  5. Re:Of course ... on Windows 10 Passes Windows XP In Market Share · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is this why I find that the look and behavior of my desktop have changed lately??? I can't seem to find where to click anymore to do the tasks I used to do. I had trouble and failed to upload pictures to Facebook lately while I swear I was an expert at it before.

    Also, some strange menus appear and I can't find a way to close them so I need to unplug my computer every time in order to reboot it. I asked my nephew to come and have a look at my computer next time he is in town because I am afraid I might have a virus...

    How do I find out if I am still on XP or if am running Windows 10???

    Thank you very much sir!

    Your problem is the international carriers colluding to keep international prices high.

    I usually stay behind 10 years in connectivity speeds and develop appropriately to match that. The only time I was ahead is when DSL first came out and 99% of people where still on 56kbps modems at home. I actually participated as a beta tester for free and I got 2.2mbps/1.1mbps speed for 4 years, half a mile away from the phone exchange. In that era, a T! (1.5mbps/1.5mbps) used to feed the IBM building where I was working and was pretty standard so it felt nice to experiment with the DSL from home.

    Today, I am on 10mbps/1mbps and glad with it as mentioned here:

  14. Jesus Christ, I thought saying in my OP "long periods of stress" was clear enough.

    So let's say "long periods of stress" or even better: "long periods of stress caused by the same topic" == *Chronic*. OK?

    See my other post about the definition of stress. Short term normal stress doesn't qualify because you do not end up in endless loops:

    Thanks for the clarification anyway. It might help some.

    Exactly, eventually the Sun should fade and the Earth should cool down, if it is still there that is.

    What earth? By the time the sun gets around to cooling down again, it will have swallowed up and vapourised the earth. Before then however, it's going to brignten more or less continuously.

    I see you have been watching the same TV documentary I have where vaporization was mentioned as a possibility. I don't remember the part about "brignten more or less continuously" although, I don't think they managed to cover that.

    Note my OP: "if it is still there that is"

  24. Of course stress is a killer. Although I do not know if there is a real correlation between them, I have seen women developing breast cancer after long periods of stress so who knows what else it could be bad for. Stress seems like a general malfunction that screws up everything.
