    I dont like Mister Sheen, he always smells of Liquor and you constantly hear, "WINNING!" at random times.

    If he has any brains, simply send every time there is "discovery" the same sheet of paper proving he has had it for 15 years.

    You can tell the plaintiffs lawyers to go fuck them selves over and over and over again.

    I have actually used the words "go fuck yourself" in response to a lawyers letter.

    Lawyers hate being called out as the spineless slime they are.

    Lemon Pledge. No seriously. The high dollar aircraft windshield treatment for bugs and water called Plexus is nothing more than Pledge wax with no scent.

    Lemon pledge is used heavily by high mileage motorcyclists for years.

  4. Re:And ticket prices? on Airplane Coatings Help Recoup Fuel Efficiency Lost To Bug Splatter · · Score: 4, Insightful

    American corporations will instead do the following.

    Get a government grant for the coatings, claim the actual full purchase price at full retail as the cost and pass that cost to ticket buyers.

    Use the 5% fuel savings as a ,"we are saving the planet.... see? SEE?" advertising campaign.

    Also add the costs of the advertising to the ticket prices.

    Profits go up an additional 75%, claim they need more government subsidies.

    Root and install a blocking hosts file.

      Bethesda proved that ad's on free games is only for complete crap games. Fallout shelter has ZERO ad's ZERO nags, and they are making money hand over fist with it.

    So if your app has ad's, it's a strong sign that it's a complete crap app.

    Luckily 99% of all free apps are trash, so I dont use them, the ones that are worth buying, I buy.

    Actually having experience. Oh and the fact that I just set up a new windows 7 VM and from the fresh install on the DVD and how it ran, compared to after applying all updates it lost all of it's speed.

    Nothing installed but windows updates. on the exact same hardware. Absolute solid proof to me.

  10. Yes. on Ask Slashdot: Are Post-Install Windows Slowdowns Inevitable? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Most of the updates with windows actually slows it down quite a bit. Windows 7 at release is fast on a core 2 duo. Today it needs a quad i7 at 3.6ghz or faster and a SSD drive to be as fast as the initial release.

    Windows XP was the same, clean release install was fast as hell install SP3 and it becomes dog slow.

    Sadly most engineers today are far too stupid to think of such things. Having a care at all towards longevity and reliability is a thing of the distant past.

    Buy a used RV and live in the back corner of your work parking lot. If you are lucky enough to buy a big white fiberglass one with vynal graphics, peel them all off and put an AT&T logo on it or VERIZON and a couple of yellow lights. nobody will even question it being there.

    A contractor at work does this, we have had him back 3 times and I have been the only person to notice. he has a motorcycle to get around town. when fall comes he looks for contract work down south. It's actually genius.

  19. Dear Microsoft. on The Unintended Consequences of Free Windows 10 For Everyone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Stop being retards.

    Make windows 10 FREE for home or personal use. Purchased License required for anything else, it's really brain dead simple and protects your income stream as business licensing is 90% of your revenue from the OS. You will still charge DELL and HP and others got the OEM licenses if they want it pre-installed on their computers. AS they would not dare to sell a PC with no OS installed to the drooling masses.

    But home users that have an IQ above 60 that can install it on their own? give it to them for free and utterly destroy the piracy of your OS.
