  1. Looks like they missed this in regression testing then

    if I wanted to watch videos of narcissists doing their thing, there is YouTube and Facebook.

    Just watch the news!

    I was taking that seriously then I saw your signature http://saveie6.com/ and realized you must be fucking joking!

  4. I have lots of experience over the years, (with me), and I've done it every way.

    Floss. That's all there is to it. You will have trouble with your gums and with cavities if you don't.

    You don't have to floss every day. Once a week is enough. Your dentist won't even be able to tell the difference.

    Hardly a clinical trial

  5. Actually I thought the Milenials lack of sex, drugs & rock'n roll was because that's the only way they have left to rebel against their parents

  6. Think of All Apps as All Programs where the fuck are my sub menus and look at all those unistall programs I wonder which ones which

  7. Mod parent up

  8. They did bring the start menu back as far as I can tell - though it's not quite the same as it used to be.

    Actually they just took the shite tiles and made them popup when you hist the start button but without taking up the whole screen. What we meant when we were screaming for them to bring back the Start Menu was the good old hierarchical Start Menu where every app had it's own sub menu with everything pertaining to the app within that sub menu. Instead now I have all the components of every piece of installed software all jumbled together in a great big mess.

    MS idea of a user experience is getting progressively more "blind fold & bullet"

  9. Yep they really have lost the plot. They need to ditch Cortana (I mean does anyone seriously use it), Stop gathering every peice of information about their users. And please just bring back the start menu properly. Or better still just roll over and let Linux take over.

  10. Re:Metro is not a newspaper on British Newspaper Fooled By Online Harry Potter/Pokemon Go Hoax (snopes.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a subsidiary of The Daily Mail so it's best served with a pinch of salt

  13. Re: Sinclair said it: on Babylon 5 Actor Jerry Doyle Dies (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Given how much of season one was devoted to playing up how the Mimbari had screwed with Sinclair's mind it's easy to understand why he couldn't continue in the role when in real life he was paranoid & delusional.

    One wonders if the surviving cast members have difficulty getting life insurance?

  15. Usabilty & functionality on Oracle To Buy Cloud-Software Provider NetSuite For $9.3 Billion (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Does this mean that Net Suites usability & functionality are going to be downgraded to the banging the rocks together level of Oracles other offerings?

    Would be a knife. Everyone alive and dead has (had) at least one since longer than we've been human.

  17. If you thing saying, "Russia, I hope you find the missing emails" is to treason, you probably think saying, "I hope this person dies" is murder.

    Surely as most compilers are written in C then we're all programming in C or more to the point we're all writing Machine Code :D
