because it is a steaming pile of sh!t. It is worse even than windows 8. Windows 10 smells worse than my dog's poo! Windows 10 smells worse my MY poo (which also smells worse than my dog's poo) I hate windows 10, it is sensorially offensive and vile I hates it! I am forced to use it for work, I have to put up with it's vile offensiveness every day! We hates it we hates it we hates it precious we wants it to be eaten by virusesssesssss
I think he/she means staffing your party with lobbyists is a crime. Which obviously it is, since you should only staff your party with someone to serve drinks...
I know this situation all too well. Thankfully the pointy eared set are cottoning on to the inefficiencies that re-sellers add and we are on our way towards direct relationships with manufacturers where possible.
You have elves at your place? Though I hear gnomes and gremlins have pointy ears sometimes too.
Got it second-hand a year or two back, running Arch (4.7.6-1). Never had any problems, wi-fi always worked perfectly. Never bothered to try getting the fingerprint reader to work, though I believe it can be done. Core i5, Nvidia something
I carry a folder full of DVD's and a few BD's in order to occasionally re-image the computers I service. Sometimes it's easier for an IT department to request an engineer go out and do this rather them dial in to fix a fault. That way they get a clean copy of the os and applications as it was built on a master machine somewhere. It's pretty rare for important files to be stored locally, so this approach makes sense. Sometimes the machines don't have a DVD drive (and never a BD one) or it has one but it's so ancient it doesn't work, or it's a CD drive, which is no good. For this I carry a drive around with me.
I think you mean "for all intents and purposes". I honestly have no idea what you are trying to say. If you are going to attempt sarcasm, please do so in a manner which shows you understand the terms you are using in order to be sarcastic.
Very poor turnout from you lot. Why has nobody mentioned the amazing porn storage you could have with this media? (Purely for reasons of whoever (or whatever) billions of years from now, is going to be interested in what what we looked like, we should provide a record for them. No other reason of course...)
Funny, I thought Word was a lugubrious mess most people try to use to create documents which they don't understand how to format properly and even when they do, Word still manages to double the amount of work needed to achieve the desired result. Documents which end up full of kludges and work arounds that then require several times more work again for the poor soul who ends up having to edit them. 90% of the functionality of Word is lost on 90% of it's users (please don't ask me to cite, I just made up those numbers), who really only need a few basic functions for pagination (if they even know what that is) and simple formatting. Word is sledgehammer to kill a gnat. Not only that, but also, Word (every version) is really quite broken. Ever tried to paste text from a Word document to another Word document? Even the same version? Changes format when you paste it. Word stores a whole load of junk in its documents you thought you deleted, so the formatting you decided not to use keeps coming up in funny little ways. Like when you paste, or when you delete something and type something else. Thought you'd deleted some text? Not necessarily, not if reviewing (I think it's called that, I've actually forgotten) is turned on. Means the next person to look at your document can read all the stuff you typed but changed your mind about and deleted. Not to mention positioning graphics. You have several options for text wrapping around graphics. Except they don't always work, for no apparent reason, then you find there's a whole load of options you didn't know existed, and have to spend your precious time learning how to use them, to finely tune that graphic you really just wanted to stuff in there and forget. And if you have to use documents between different versions of Word, all the problems you thought you didn't have, suddenly you have them! I know this because I used to be an admin assistant. You know, the monkey who does the typing and sorts out unholy mess that is a typical Word document, especially when it was created by someone who's job doesn't involve understanding a word processor. Anyway I've no idea what the point was about web browsers and word processors and memory requirements, I just saw "Word" and "merely" in the same sentence and went off on one. And wtf is "turing complete" anyway?
Really? o_O My 2004 Civic gets up to 70mpg if I do a lot of motorway driving! More urban routes and it drops down to the high 50's. Your expensive German cars are doing a little better (in mpg's, that is) than my 1978 Fiat 128 used to do... (FYI, that's the one the old boxy Lada was based on)
I deleted Ubuntu last year (or maybe the year before I can't remember) after using it since Feisty, because I got fed up of the way it got more and more windowsey, and apparently harder to configure than before unless you use the gui tools - what finally killed it for me was the new Gnome UI. Installed Arch, haven't looked back since. Before Ubuntu I ran Debian for quite a while on my old laptop, loved it, Mandrake on my desktop, Slackware until I decided I didn't like the attitude of Slackware folks, before that I tried Fedora, SuSe (pre Novell thingy), others I can't remember. Started off with Red Hat 6.2.
Don't like RPM based distro's much because sooner or later you have to hack RPM's.
My 6 or 7 year old laptop goes from cold to LXDE in just over 30 seconds with Arch installed almost straight out of the box. Configuration was mostly easy - just a few text files to edit and a bunch of stuff to install, and the guides on Archwiki are very helpful - not perfect, I did have to hunt around to resolve some things. So I can start doing stuff faster than ever. Happy.
Honestly, I've read S/F written in the 90's trying to predict what the world would be like now - exactly the same level of predictions but based on current tech instead of 90's tech. Blegh.

The sad part is, these plastics are classed as "hard plastic" and not as recyclable.
The worst part is when you have to explain to your wife what "3dFurryFutanariTentacles.com" means.
That link doesn't work for me - did they take it down? Awww...
Nope.
People who don't understand C++ are doomed to recreate it, badly.
Oh I so wish I had mod points today. Most insightful thing anyone has said this century.

I hates it!

The battery of my drill. Or sometimes the non-drilling end of my drill. Frequent use renders the tool unsuitable for drilling.
That's really not funny in a really not funny way. Totally unfunny, in fact, and a little scary.
Deer, not deers, is the plural of deer.

I have a Lumia. Trust me, it wouldn't do just as well for you :p

What?
I had to read to the end to find out if there was a point to it. Apparently, no. But wait, a precarious little boy? Don't you mean precocious?

Pencil, the sort you sharpen. Mechanical one keeps breaking the tip. Also I like gel pens, so long as it's a good quality one.
