    Retrofitting central AC in a house. This is hardly the same thing as what you are talking about. Even if they were putting central AC into the Empire State building, it would be easier than a residence due to the way commercial buildings are built (drop ceilings make for easy air duct installs).

    In some cases, the rights issues already favor women. Ever gotten divorced? When was the last time you heard about paternity leave? Did you know that if your wife beats the shit out of you, and you never lift a hand, you are the one who goes to jail? Do you have any idea how hard it is to prove you were raped as a man? Any idea how hard it is to prove innocence if a woman accuses you of (even as little as) saying something she didn't like? How about pregnancy, it is perfectly acceptable for a woman to get an abortion, but a guy who doesn't want the kid still has to pay for it even if they said they wanted nothing to do with it. There have even been cases where sperm donors had to pay child support, even though they had nothing to do with the woman.

    I don't know, but I haven't seen much of any GG people harassing. I have seen numerous pieces of evidence of harassment, but never anything that actually said "I am a gamergater and Brianna Wu is a meanyhead". The harassment I have seen her complain about was from a few twitter handles that had nothing to do with GG, but yet they MUST have been GG people.

    Wasn't it Brianna Wu who repeatedly and persistently called some guy's work to get him fired for daring to disagree with her on the Internet? How is that any better than what she accuses others of doing to her?

    Last I checked, we have at least 2 presidential candidates that are female, perhaps there is an issue where not many women want to make the sacrifices needed for positions like this?

    If you read the same stories you will also come across many instances of Ms Wu harassing others. Take a look at those pictures. Half of them are her claiming to be harassed, which may or may not have happened, but many of them are also her harassing others, such as the second one where she calls someone else a "gross f'ing aspie", how is this someone you want to defend?

    Being born with testicles and/or an X and Y chromosome kinda defines you as male. You can have some cosmetic surgery to change this, but that doesn't change your chromosomal makeup, nor at this time does it allow you to have children.

    So it sounds like VMware Player is exactly what you want. Virtual Machines live as a file on your system, not a drive, they are VIRTUAL machines running under your machine. It is like running Windows 10 in a Chrome session rather than directly on your system. There is no dual booting happening, no partitioning. It is as safe as safe can get to uninstall, you just delete the files.

    The upgrade process is reversible just as any installation is reversible. You can just reinstall Windows 7 from the original installation disks. There very likely will be no uninstallation process or downgrade process, it will be a reinstall of everything. The general public is very unlikely to upgrade though, they are more likely just to buy a new computer with Windows 10 on it as they can't be bothered.

    On Verizon's network, 1 GB costs $10, so 2 GB * 30 days * $10 = $600. That would be a big deal to me if my kids were playing this game with their 4G connection turned on.

    now fire up VMware Player, load Windows 10 and take a look, you might be pleasantly surprised.

    VMware Player allows you to create a Virtual Machine (VM), which is not the machine you are sitting at. Therefore the installation has no effect on your existing Windows 7 Machine. VMware Player is also free to use software.

    Having read about it and actually using it are TOTALLY different things. Try it, you will be pleasantly surprised.

    My washer has a spin cycle speed of 640 revolutions per minute (rpm) and I'll assume that my laundry flattens out along the wall of the basket

    So, something spinning at 10 revolutions a second produces large G loads. Interesting. You do realize that you would get sick at those kinds of speeds don't you?

    Wow, an armchair lawyer who disagrees with a sitting judge. I never thought I would run into this in the wild. Can I get your autograph?

    Apparently, the law states that you have no expectation of privacy when you call someone with your phone. Why you would expect that a conversation you have with B somehow should be private from B, I cannot imagine.

    Perhaps before commenting on something, you should actually look at what you are commenting on?

    Windows 10 doesn't have " the big, ugly colored squares", it has the start menu, with the addition of optional live tiles. It only turns on the tile interface on phones and tablets, so you got your wish, now fire up VMware Player, load Windows 10 and take a look, you might be pleasantly surprised.

    Please, show me the error of my ways.

    I read every question, and most of the answers, I see none of the negative questions getting any response, it was like we all sucked up to her in the original article, rather than it being questions critical of her. Questions about the harassment and doxing she herself did to others, what sex she was born, if she herself was the source of the harassment she claims targeted her, and about the fact that people were able to prove she never left her house when she was "afraid for her life". I don't even recall reading any of these questions in the original article, they must have dug through pretty deep to get to them.
