If MS have made architectural optimisation to Windows 10 then I wouldn't expect them to backport significant changes. That might be seen as a big conspiracy to some but for a 7 year old release you'd expect only bug and security fixes.
You mean Windows 7, that is no longer in mainstream support?
For all the people complaining about MS not supporting Windows forever, where is all the complaining about Apple not supporting their OSes forever?
Spoken like a true insurance lackey. You have insurance to you know, insure you if you have an accident (your fault or not). That is the responsible thing to do. If someone else is hurt and your insurance company doesn't cover the costs perhaps it's time to talk about why a hospital stay costs on average $15k/day, and 15 minute procedure costs hundreds of times my hourly wage. Mitigating risk is what everyone does. It's not my fault I live in a society filled with greed.
I bolded the key text you wrote.
You're a fucking asshole, plain and simple, thanks for spelling it out for everyone to see...
I'm all for being responsible for my mistakes, but in today's world there has to be some kind of limit. Your insurance coverage is usually that limit.
Frankly, that is bullshit...
Why? Most states don't require more than 50K of insurance...
That won't replace many cars, much less pay any medical bills... If you had 50K of insurance and totaled my truck, you wouldn't have enough insurance...
Because if europe were to come completely under russian sway we would lose most of our markets and russia would gain free access to the atlantic. in the end, it would probably result in the destruction of the u.s.
Again, it comes back to "the US better pay up or the boogie man will come back"
Fuck Europe, if they don't want to pay for their own defense, they don't deserve to remain free...
Did I forget to mention that the Windows 10 EULA is the most invasive ever published?
No, but you failed to understand my point or how little privacy you really have...
If you think that the Windows 10 privacy issues are no worse than most other OS's then you seriously need to sit down and read the damn EULA you have apparently agreed to hundreds of times already.
Try reading the terms and conditions for your bank account and credit card some time, you might be shocked...
Unless you pay for everything with cash, don't carry a cell phone, don't use any online e-mail services, don't use any social media, then your privacy has been gone for some time. Windows didn't cause it.
You insure what you cannot afford to loose.... But remember, having high insurance coverage makes you a target, just as much as having assets to loose.
You do, if you're a selfish bastard who takes no personal responsibility for anything...
I figure that if I get into a serious accident that's my fault and I have legal liability, I want enough insurance that it's not worth trying to go after me for more than the insurance company will pay.
Or, perhaps you have enough to cover what you are responsible for in the event you hurt someone else.
You know, like a decent human being would...
So, if you don't have much in assets, don't bother buying additional insurance.
In my 35 years as an insured motorist I have had 3 claims, two accidents and one hail claim. I estimate the TOTAL paid for these claims to be under $25K. In 35 years I've paid more than $1,000/year in premiums and I estimate that I've paid about 4 times the amount of the paid claims.
Most people do, that is how insurance works... The idea is that if you ever have a big claim, you are then glad you have it...
I pay about $1,700 a year to insure two vehicles and provide me with 300k in liability coverage (the state required levels are a joke and should be raised).
I might pay for 20 years, but if I ever crash into someone and cause them medical injuries, that 300k of coverage will come in really handy.
Honestly, now that I think about it, it still isn't enough...:) Time to raise that...
No, what I'm really saying is that that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
No, again, you're not...
You're saying that Europe is unable to defend itself and if the US doesn't do it, then Europe is doomed...
Well fuck em, if Europe can't take care of themselves and is not willing to pay for the required protection, then they don't deserve to remain as nations...
France lost to Germany in 1940 because they were completely unprepared, they fought the last war, Germany fought the next one. They also didn't show up with a useful air force, tank divisions, or anti-tank guns.
Germany won in 6 weeks because they came prepared.

So, I would say that covering large energy needs with renewable power is totally possible, and we are proof of it since 1973.
Call me when Paraguay is a country that anyone actually wants to live in...
Yea, yea, I'm sure you like it, but that would only because you don't know anything else...
No one is flocking to live there...
Nationalism is never a particularly rational argument.
Says someone who doesn't care if their nation does well...
Perhaps you'd prefer to go live in Brazil?
And they aren't going to insure themselves for you.
Then they are irresponsible and should not be allowed to drive.

It is newsworthy. Windows 7 is supposed to be supported until 2020. But MS doesn't want new CPUs to be fully optimized on 7 because "work is hard."
You should learn about the difference between mainstream support and extended support before you try and share an opinion...

Then you didn't read them closely enough...
You're delusional if you think you had privacy before Windows 10 and only lost it after...

Only an asshole thinks like that...
The most important complaint is not how well it works, but all the spyware baked into the OS.
Anyone complaining about that has simply not been paying attention for 20 years...
You more or less have to live a digitally disconnected life to avoid it all now, Windows is not going to be the source of your privacy doom...
If you think so, then you're uninformed about the modern world...

Exiting nato and becoming isolationist again would lead to russias peaceful and non-peaceful expansion into europe.
And the average American should care because?
If Europe is unwilling to spend the money to defend itself, why should we?
Anyway screw NATO, they're a bunch of big boys playing games with expensive toys. How did they help Ukraine (or anyone, ever)?
You might want to learn something before you open your mouth...
Ukraine is not a member of NATO...
Feel that tapping on your shoulder? That's Neville Chamberlain. He'd like to talk to you...
Again, nice try with the scare tactics...
What you're REALLY saying is "the US better pay up and protect us or the boogie man will come back"
Fix your ads yo
Ad Block... it is the only safe way to browse the web...
That will end up with the return of either the Nazis
Ha! Nice try... "better pay up and guard us or the boogie man will come back"
Try again...
Roger. We get it.
No, you don't...
You want expensive? How about we withdraw from NATO and let Germany worry about Russia on their own?
You don't suppose the require defense spending increase will be expensive, do you?
It may seem the US and EU have each other over a barrel, but it just SEEMS that way...
If you want to live in a civilised society, taxes are the price you pay.
I suspect you don't quite know what your money goes towards, how much you really pay, and how much of it is really buying civilization...
Ignorance is rampant, sadly...
it means exactly as it was meant to mean
Then you STILL don't know what it means...
I'd explain it to you, but you likely aren't listening, so what's the point?
I could earn twice what I do if I didn't have to pay tax.
If you're paying 50% tax, you're a complete moron who has some REALLY bad tax advice...
Obama isn't stupid either.
While I agree with some of your points, I actually disagree with this one...
Obama has shown for 7.5 years that he is rather stupid indeed... Oh I'm sure he is book smart, but in terms of real world, he is a complete moron...
