You forgot to mention ads in the metro(sexual) start menu.
I can't decide.... is the start menu's left side purposely annoying and cumbersome to use because they want to funnel our attention over to the pretty pictures (with ads) on the right.... or is the start menu's left side purposely annoying and cumbersome to use because they want to funnel our attention into Cortana...?
Yes.
Opening pdf's in Edge certain is enough to piss off the pope as well.
I'm pretty sure he isn't talking about people permanently immigrating here, but people come here for a few years, then leave.
yes, I, who grew up here in the US, demand to have first right of jobs over some foreigner who did nothing for the US, and in fact, won't do anything for the US once they take their money away and return home, later on.
Irrespective of whether or not you agree with his general sentiment, being able to read is a key component in understanding it
I would say the same to you. As another posted, he's using many different angles to the point where the only thing clear is that he doesn'r like foreigners very much.
Meantime, perhaps the problem isn't my comprehension of his reading as you seem to suggest, but his ability to forge a few coherent paragraphs.
The actual writing on the wall is that the home (and school) computing markets have become Chromebook markets.
The reason that Chromebooks are winning the home and school markets is that they just work. I have a Chromebook along with all my other computers, and the problems are so few as to be negligible. I have yet to find a Microsoft OS computer that ever lived up to that not so lofty goal. I don't use that particular computer for anything serious unless I boot into the Linux side, but for most people, its email and browsing.
And you aren't chearged 80 some dollars a year (to start) for access to the Chromebook. Now imagine Microsoft coming in to replace say, a thousand student and 50 teacher school. Unless they give the laptops and OS and Office 365 away, who would ever jump at that?
Not to worry, citizen! Your OS and Tablet will be automatically upgraded by Microsoft to a subscription model, for your convenience!
No. Just no. Stop perpetuating this. While Microsoft has made many missteps with Win10, this isn't one of them. Yet.
Enterprise was never free to upgrade. It was always a product available only through volume licensing, usually with Software Assurance, which is a yearly fee.
I notice that you conveniently forgot Surface. Tell me, do the same reasons aplpy to it as W10 Enterprise?
At what point does the truth become the truth? You can shill all you want, but the Cassandras, of which I am one, have pretty much nailed everything that you people say wasn't happening or going to happen. It phones home to mysterious places, it keylogs, it has your passwords and gives them to anyone on the social networks of people who you allow to access your computer. And it ignores hostfiles for the special places it reports to. And wordsmithing will get you nowhere on this.
And here we have the first shots across the bow of the predicted and inevitible subscription service to Windows ten. Just like we Cassandras said would happen. It takes either monumental stupidity, pathological dissembling, or a paycheck to deny it at this point. This Cassandra says it is coming to all versions of W10.
So No! you just stop it. It isn't FUD when everything you call FUD is provable truth or so obviously going to happen that it makes no discernable difference.
You're (deliberately?) conflating guest worker programs with immigration. Immigrants, even illegal immigrants, intend to stay in a country and therefore gain some ownership of that country. Guest workers arrive to collect some money then go back to the place that they truly feel allegiance to.
The GP wasn't entirely clear in his tirade, but he seemed to be talking about guest workers and not immigrants. The very concept of guest worker programs is problematic for every party involved and shouldn't be nearly as commonly used as they are. Indeed, outside of the US they're much more rarely used.
Allow me to clear that up - as he wrote:
let me turn it around: if I were to move to india, would I - and should I - expect the same rights as locals? of course not!
That pretty well sums up the context. Because it would be strange indeed to move to a country with no expectation of ever getting a job. You'd starve soon. Guest Workers have a job before they ever move. Therefore he is saying that immigrants in any form should not get jobs, or at least not expect to get one by the rights of the native citizens.
The amusing thing about that is that would eliminate most people who are worried about immigrants. America is built of immigrants. Most of the natives are confined to reservations.
To all those Microsoft fanbois who said affirmatively that Microsoft was not planning a subscription model for Windows 10, please explain once again how Microsoft would never institute a subscription model for Windows 10.
Simple - it will be renamed to Windows Overlord Edition. So it won't be Windows 10.
For everyone who swore up and down that Windows 10 will never be a subscription and Microsoft will always stick with their old business model (pay once for the OS, additional support by subscription): hope the crow is tasty!
You gotta admit, whne the shills start trying to claim that Microsoft's subcription service really isnt a subscription service, it will be horrorshow fun.
Now the question is if they'll turn the 'Home' and 'Pro' editions into subscriptions as well. It's clearly not beneath them, it's only a question if their execs determine that the hostage revenues will outweigh the massive bad will backlash they'll receive.
It isn't a question of "if". If they are doing Surface as a service, there is no reason why everything won't be a "service' soon. So after say the 5 year lifetime of your computer, you'll have paid 420 dollars - not a bad deal eh? And we'd have to be fools to think that it won't soon rise to 10 dollars a month in short order.
What I wonder about however, is Windows 10 networks that aren't conneced to the internetz such as some I administer. Will an update have a kill switch or something, so that I'm not robbing them of their rightful money?
Regardless, looking forward to the shills tapdancing this into the best thing that ever happened to computing.
the fact that you don't see it proves the point even more how much you DO NOT UNDERSTAND what america is about.
America is only about the people who originally settled here?
Perhaps you and your family need to pack up and go back to where you came from, because at base, you are an immigrant. Because unless you are 100 percent Amerind, you're are an immigrant and born of immigrants.
Disclaimer - ethnic slurs included merely for shock value, and the likelyhood that the poster actually uses those terms.
Anyhow dear anti-immigrant person, if you actually want to eliminate these great unwashed from taking your jerb, agitate for making it illegal to hire one. And enforce it on the business owner. A good old tough on crime minimum penalty of 5 years. You'll see illegal immigrants drop to a mere trickle as the actual cause of illegal immigration dries up, which is the fact that they can get jerbs in the first place.
I predict and fully expect to see a rise in american 'terrorism', where americans have been out of work long enough to lose thier homes and feel that they have nothing left so 'fuck it, I'm going on a rampage'.
god help us all once this eventually happens.
I suspect that in the not too distant future, we will see a reverse brain drain as Americans find more opportunities in other countries than at their former home. This will be great as long as you are competent enough.
For many people, the future looks pretty bleak, as we are not in the pecuniary extraction of wealth phase of the country, and don't appear to be doing anything about it.
There's your self entitlement for you. Thinking that you can hire illegals and day workers for the cheapest price so that you benefit the most, but screw what it does to your local economy.
And therin lies the strangest set of paradoxes you will ever find. The people who follow the presumed head of the anti-immigration movement and his plan to make another country build a wall in order to keep them out are likely to be the ones harmed by immigrant workers.
As well, this people are convinced that we need a business leader to fix this problem, when businesses are the cause of the problem.
As well, there is a remarkably simple way to cut way back on illegal immigrants at very little cost. If a business owner is caught hiring illegals to do the business they are doing, toss their sorry ass in jail. We're Americans - its what we do to support the incarceration industry.
If illegal immigrants have no possibility of getting work and money here in the USA, and if anyone hiring one catches a felony and prison time, it will go a long way towards taking care of that problem. And a few business owners in prison are a lot cheaper than walling off the US.
No. business has two insurmountable advantages regarding trust:
Are you seriously that naive?
Money, and where there is money, and there are humans, there will be corruption, and there is no escaping from that fact. It doesn't mean you don't try to do something aboutn it, but the idea that some folks have that business is somehow knights in shining armor, and beyond corruption, is charming in the same manner as a Walt Disney princess movie.
But do not let me hurt your dreams, dream of abolishment of all government, and let Halliburton ( or another company) run things. All will be well, as there will be no more corruption.
I disagree that the problems are as widespread as we are lead to believe.
I don't know if you work in a university environment, but I know with 100 percent certainty that they spend a lot of time money and effort to wean the childrenand their parents from each other. Non research grant money, which they are loathe to do. You are saying this is a waste of money and completely mistaken thinking?
Perhaps you are correct, I just read all of the data, and along with others come to a 100 percent wrong conclusion. After all, iit is not unusual to hear olde fartes bleaing about those damn kids on their lawn. It's happened before.
I'd like to be wrong, but as I recall, whne I heard that stuff when I first entered the workforce, instead of complaining or getting upset about the grumps,, I proved that at least, they were wrong about me. I never had any of the high self esteem, low achievement people even come close to that. Not even try. Quitting always seemed to be the first option.
And my generation did have some widespread issues. so many of us were into instant gratification, and little long term planning, which has lead to a lot of us looking at trying to live solely on Social Security. I won't deny it, and it was stupid beyond rationalization. They thought they were never going to grow old. But we do.
No, it's the government that can't be trusted. You could change the people out every year and they would still be corrupted by the power.
Then we have a really big problem Houston. Because if you think the eval guvmint is corrupt, you should see how business makes then look like amateurs.
While you are completely correct on the Texas laws allowing people to be shot for basically setting foot on your property (I'm in the state so I should know), and I also agree with you on the its ridiculous to assume lawsuits will result for stupid people not paying attention, I wholeheartedly resent your 'millenials are idiots argument.'
Good. Then again, if I had just formed my opinion out of whole cloth, there might be some justification for your outrage. These are researched and ongoing issues.
But before we even go there, there is no question that biologically the millennial generation has no particular differences between themselves and the get off my lawn crown, they have been thoroughly screwed over by parents and society.
Oh-oh, perhaps this isn't going in the direction you want the olde farte to go.
Society, with it's self esteem movement, has instilled within most millennials an unwarranted level of the commodity. Slef esteem is a process of earned introspection, not "I'm the most wonderful person on earth because I'm me!"
It's been my experience that with 2 notable exceptions, our millennial hires just didn't work out. They carried a strange idea that the older people were there to serve them, from the young lady who thought that her work was to assign the work given to her to others, while seemingly thinking that Facebook was a job skill, to the guy who insisted he wouldn't answer my phone calls or emails and dealt in text messages only. I told him that he could either develop phone skills, or I'd pay him a personal visit the multiple times a day I needed input, or if he liked, we could meet halfway at the director's office. Then there was the guy who went apeshit nuts on me when after a long troubleshooting session of his program, I pointed out the problem and accidentally touched his laptop screen.
And those are just examples of three people - there are more, but I don't want to bore you with more. In each case, the person went through the stages of telling their superiors how things were going to be. Like my "I don't answer the phone buddy found out, as an entry level employee, he isn't there to tell his supervisors how things are done. Computer screen angst guy found that no one would help him, and facebook girl just found the rest of the office wouldn't put up with her.
The next stage was the burnout. As reality set in, these folk would freak, they were no longer the special snowflake that mom and dad and their teachers told them they were. They were not going to be promoted to a supervisory position for just coming in to work on time - most of the time. Depression often resulted.
Stage three was quitting, and several moved back in with mom and dad.
I'd be remiss if I didn't note the two exceptions, one a hard working and talented young lady who took her job seriously and excelled at it. Another was a young lady who - if any of these millennials deserved to have an inflated opinion of themselves, it would be her. Brilliant, analytical, task focused, always completed her tasks and could fix problems without complaining, and easy to deal with, as well as stunningly beautiful. As well as an intellectual powerhouse. In trying to deal with the other millennials, I had many conversations with her, and she was instrumental in helping me form my opinion of the problem.
And lest we forget, the millennials were also "blessed" with parents that wanted to protect them from all of the problems of the world. Helicopter parents are not something made up - it has been a real problem as parents try to interject themselves into their now adult students post secondary life, to the point of some actually trying to go on job interviews with their children. I get a lot of articles on how Universities are trying to cop with parents running interference for their children.
And as I pointed out, it isn't 100 percent of physically adult, mentally pre-teen millennial children out there. there ar exceptions that
That says nore about texas juries allowing murder if you are the "right" type of person than anything about tresspassing.
The go ahead and wander all over Texas, I hear there is a Pokemon in the back yard of that mobile home with the TransCamaro on cinder blocks in teh front yard, , and the confederate flag. Go get it! If you are the right type, you have nothing to worry about.
Implying you can generalize about a generation as a whole, and that generalizations are true just because it is stated - which would imply the person making it has quite a lack of capacity for rudimentary logical reasoning skills.
But perhaps he has at least as good skills as your ability to construct a sentence.
While you over-react to my apparently insufferable commentary over your beloved millenials in a manner that would do a social justice warrier proud, you lose site of the basis of the argument, which is not specifically a condemnation of millennials, who are indeed a group what I feel has suffered abuse at the hands of well meaning but ultimately stupid parents and society. We never let them grow up.
The argument is that people who are not prepared to handle technology have had it thrust into their hands, and bad things happen to them. Its how people have destroyed their lives by entering into rages on social media, how some people who don't understand the tragedy of the commons, the forever nature of posts, or that pseudo anonymity gives them the right to act like idiots, and how some folks kill themselves over cyber bullying, when the proper reaction to "some asshole on the internet" is to first ignore, then involve law enforcement if it rises to that level.
And its how while playing this silly little game, people will walk into ditches, go driving around while watching their smartphones instead of the road, and some will no doubt Darwin themselves, maybe taking with them a few other innocents in the process.
Once upon a time, this computer stuff was just for the geeks, now everyone has it - and some are woefully unprepared, and some are just not that smart to begin with.
Specifically, acquittals were provided for people who shot and kiled another person over a guy who was looking for a hooker on Craigslist, she didn't put out, os he followed her to her car and shot her from behind, which led to her death - verdict - acquittal.
Other justifiable homicides in Texas, as proven in the courts, include stealing a 20 dollar tip jar, 13 year old child breaking into a house, stealing a 6 pack of beer.
None of the actions by the dead are justified - although there was no apparent crime being committed in the first example, but in Texas, if you can bring a pretty good case that someone was trespassing or stealing, you are allowed to shoot them. You are not even required to be in personal danger, as a case involving a gentleman who killed two people who had robbed his neighbor.
Sorry coward - you are incorrect.
I'm also expecting the first of many lawsuits any day now, as users fall in ditches and rivers, and wander onto interstate Highways.
There is a big fat disclaimer on the game saying, PAY THE FUCK ATTENTION TO THE WORLD.
This is America. The end-around for what you assume to be a catch-all is that no printed disclaimer ever protects a manufacturer from gross negligence. Whether or not it even exists, they can be sued for gross negligence.
These are millenials, folks - people who have never been outside by themselves before - you can't expect them to be used to that situation immediately.
Go shut up old man. Get back to telling those damn kids to get off your lawn.
The problem little Coward, is that millenials don't often go outside. They have been under adult supervision their whole lives and don't know how to act. So now that Pokemon Go has tricked them into coming out of the basement, they are like baby squirrels, and don't know how to act in the big wide world.
Pokemon Go, and the weird obsession with it, is a pretty good example of what happens when you put technology in the hands of people not equipped to handle it. The guy that broke his ankle is going to be a typical result.
I'd strongly suggest that people not trespass in the deep south of the US, as you can be legally shot and killed for that.
I'm also expecting the first of many lawsuits any day now, as users fall in ditches and rivers, and wander onto interstate Highways.
These are millenials, folks - people who have never been outside by themselves before - you can't expect them to be used to that situation immediately.
That's from a conservative Republican website, by the way.
Which of course means that they will sensationalize minor gaffes of people they don't like... like Trump. Getting numbers wrong that enumerate things is really quite minor. The article also points out that he misremembered which book of the Bible he wanted to cite. I've done that quite a number of times. It's really no big deal. If these are the sorts of things they want to try to make hay out of, they really should be working harder.
Companies today usually give the bum's rush to people being laid off, having police or security escort them out of the building on 15 minutes notice if they are lucky.
That suits your white hot hatred of the Clintons, from the party of financial prudence spending millions of my tax money to uncover a blowjob. to your now claiming that the FBI is an integral part of the conspiracy, well, it's pretty clear that the Clinton haters are completely unhinged, from your leader Trump trying to reopen the idea that Hillary killed Vince Foster. And that Benghazi was the worst incidences ever, while disreagarding the multitudes of attacks and people killed in embassy attacks during the first 8 years of this century.
If it was you who were involved in what happened, you'd be issued a security violation. But you hate Hillary, so she needs to go to jail.
And this is where the Republicans need to get a grip. It's easy to see that you are throwing every piece of shit you can find against the wall and hoping it will stick. It is you who are eroding the rule of law as you base your concept of the law on emotion.
So you'll go on believing that Bill Clinton sent his Arkansas state police bodyguards to Waco Texas to be killed in the assault on the Koresh compound, You'll still believe that Hillary had Foster killed, You'll still be all atwitter over a consensual blowjob, you'll still ignor the Bush Administration's record on protecting Embassies and focus on Benghazi and a security violation level problem is worthy of criminal prosecution, and now that the fellow who said he hacked the servers is lieing now, but not when he said he did - meaning that you now are calling the FBI as complicit in the Great Clinton conspiracy number 1,000,000.
You are really going to have to face the fact that your nonstop vendetta has placed you in the category of kooky background noise.
Now get back to proving that the terror baby was actually born in Kenya.

Then there was the guy who went apeshit nuts on me when after a long troubleshooting session of his program, I pointed out the problem and accidentally touched his laptop screen.
And those are just examples of three people - there are more, but I don't want to bore you with more. In each case, the person went through the stages of telling their superiors how things were going to be. Like my "I don't answer the phone buddy found out, as an entry level employee, he isn't there to tell his supervisors how things are done. Computer screen angst guy found that no one would help him, and facebook girl just found the rest of the office wouldn't put up with her.
The next stage was the burnout. As reality set in, these folk would freak, they were no longer the special snowflake that mom and dad and their teachers told them they were. They were not going to be promoted to a supervisory position for just coming in to work on time - most of the time. Depression often resulted.
Stage three was quitting, and several moved back in with mom and dad.
I'd be remiss if I didn't note the two exceptions, one a hard working and talented young lady who took her job seriously and excelled at it. Another was a young lady who - if any of these millennials deserved to have an inflated opinion of themselves, it would be her. Brilliant, analytical, task focused, always completed her tasks and could fix problems without complaining, and easy to deal with, as well as stunningly beautiful. As well as an intellectual powerhouse. In trying to deal with the other millennials, I had many conversations with her, and she was instrumental in helping me form my opinion of the problem.
And lest we forget, the millennials were also "blessed" with parents that wanted to protect them from all of the problems of the world. Helicopter parents are not something made up - it has been a real problem as parents try to interject themselves into their now adult students post secondary life, to the point of some actually trying to go on job interviews with their children. I get a lot of articles on how Universities are trying to cop with parents running interference for their children.
And as I pointed out, it isn't 100 percent of physically adult, mentally pre-teen millennial children out there. there ar exceptions that
That says nore about texas juries allowing murder if you are the "right" type of person than anything about tresspassing.
The go ahead and wander all over Texas, I hear there is a Pokemon in the back yard of that mobile home with the TransCamaro on cinder blocks in teh front yard, , and the confederate flag. Go get it! If you are the right type, you have nothing to worry about.
Implying you can generalize about a generation as a whole, and that generalizations are true just because it is stated - which would imply the person making it has quite a lack of capacity for rudimentary logical reasoning skills.
But perhaps he has at least as good skills as your ability to construct a sentence.
While you over-react to my apparently insufferable commentary over your beloved millenials in a manner that would do a social justice warrier proud, you lose site of the basis of the argument, which is not specifically a condemnation of millennials, who are indeed a group what I feel has suffered abuse at the hands of well meaning but ultimately stupid parents and society. We never let them grow up.
The argument is that people who are not prepared to handle technology have had it thrust into their hands, and bad things happen to them. Its how people have destroyed their lives by entering into rages on social media, how some people who don't understand the tragedy of the commons, the forever nature of posts, or that pseudo anonymity gives them the right to act like idiots, and how some folks kill themselves over cyber bullying, when the proper reaction to "some asshole on the internet" is to first ignore, then involve law enforcement if it rises to that level.
And its how while playing this silly little game, people will walk into ditches, go driving around while watching their smartphones instead of the road, and some will no doubt Darwin themselves, maybe taking with them a few other innocents in the process. Once upon a time, this computer stuff was just for the geeks, now everyone has it - and some are woefully unprepared, and some are just not that smart to begin with.
Oh shut up. You cannot be legally shot and killed for trespassing alone.
Um-huh. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

In Texas, Property is more valuable than human life - like it or not, it is codified. http://nation.time.com/2013/06...
Specifically, acquittals were provided for people who shot and kiled another person over a guy who was looking for a hooker on Craigslist, she didn't put out, os he followed her to her car and shot her from behind, which led to her death - verdict - acquittal.
Other justifiable homicides in Texas, as proven in the courts, include stealing a 20 dollar tip jar, 13 year old child breaking into a house, stealing a 6 pack of beer.
None of the actions by the dead are justified - although there was no apparent crime being committed in the first example, but in Texas, if you can bring a pretty good case that someone was trespassing or stealing, you are allowed to shoot them. You are not even required to be in personal danger, as a case involving a gentleman who killed two people who had robbed his neighbor.
Sorry coward - you are incorrect.
There is a big fat disclaimer on the game saying, PAY THE FUCK ATTENTION TO THE WORLD.
This is America. The end-around for what you assume to be a catch-all is that no printed disclaimer ever protects a manufacturer from gross negligence. Whether or not it even exists, they can be sued for gross negligence.
Go shut up old man. Get back to telling those damn kids to get off your lawn.
The problem little Coward, is that millenials don't often go outside. They have been under adult supervision their whole lives and don't know how to act. So now that Pokemon Go has tricked them into coming out of the basement, they are like baby squirrels, and don't know how to act in the big wide world.
I'd strongly suggest that people not trespass in the deep south of the US, as you can be legally shot and killed for that.
I'm also expecting the first of many lawsuits any day now, as users fall in ditches and rivers, and wander onto interstate Highways.
These are millenials, folks - people who have never been outside by themselves before - you can't expect them to be used to that situation immediately.
Yes folks - some times the truth is a Troll.
The only "Chapter", Donald need to know is which Chapter he needs the next time if files for bankruptcy.
From listening to some of what he says, it appears that his economic plan for the USA is filing country bankruptcy.
Which of course means that they will sensationalize minor gaffes of people they don't like... like Trump. Getting numbers wrong that enumerate things is really quite minor. The article also points out that he misremembered which book of the Bible he wanted to cite. I've done that quite a number of times. It's really no big deal. If these are the sorts of things they want to try to make hay out of, they really should be working harder.
He was also a little Cosbyesque....allegedly. http://www.snopes.com/2016/06/...
The converse should actually balance out nicely.
If it was you who were involved in what happened, you'd be issued a security violation. But you hate Hillary, so she needs to go to jail.
And this is where the Republicans need to get a grip. It's easy to see that you are throwing every piece of shit you can find against the wall and hoping it will stick. It is you who are eroding the rule of law as you base your concept of the law on emotion.
So you'll go on believing that Bill Clinton sent his Arkansas state police bodyguards to Waco Texas to be killed in the assault on the Koresh compound, You'll still believe that Hillary had Foster killed, You'll still be all atwitter over a consensual blowjob, you'll still ignor the Bush Administration's record on protecting Embassies and focus on Benghazi and a security violation level problem is worthy of criminal prosecution, and now that the fellow who said he hacked the servers is lieing now, but not when he said he did - meaning that you now are calling the FBI as complicit in the Great Clinton conspiracy number 1,000,000.
You are really going to have to face the fact that your nonstop vendetta has placed you in the category of kooky background noise.
Now get back to proving that the terror baby was actually born in Kenya.
