You mean factory fresh that has a whole pile of adware which most PC's appear to have when purchased brand new.
:-) You assume much. By "factory" I meant this. I don't believe it contains any adware, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough. I do know that most Linux applications do install into more than one directory, and some of the pieces have really weird names. Not that I mind or anything, but I still prefer the simplicity of static links. You know, to reduce that whole dependency thing.
I haven't tried Windows to go. As a matter of fact, since I found the Slackware setup, I just quit looking, but now you got my curiosity up. Looks like a busy day tomorrow
Believe it, or not... Doesn't matter. I'm easy. Can't help it if you live in denial.
And you look really silly trying to play the PC card with me. Tryin' to find sympathy because you're not allowed to empty your piss pot on the sidewalk? Good luck with that!
I'm jeering, actually not, just mocking you. And believe me, you, as nothing but a mouthpiece for the Queen, don't represent anything close to human rights, individual or otherwise.
That doesn't mean that the government is incompetent and is trying to fuck you.
It is only incompetent if it fails to do so.
But that wasn't a summary up there, it's an editorial, and it is election season, so you know, it's a story for the human torch. How many gallons does he burn an hour?
I think we've all been around long enough to know the answer to that one without having to spell it out... Otherwise, if you're doing an upgrade, the previous system's activation will work, until the end of the month, and after that you do what *needs to be done*.
I'd like to keep the country, where guarantees given to an Individual, however obnoxious and cantankerous, trump the will of the Collective
Your hillbilly toothless mountain man "individualism" doesn't play so well in the city. You can do want you want out in the sticks, even make your own whiskey and grow your own locoweed. Just watch out for them revenuers.
What telecoms — correctly — object to, are efforts by local governments to compete with them.
You are wrong. We have the right to make the government serve us, instead of protecting their buddies' monopoly/duopolies. Competition is the only way to keep them honest.
apps users have installed and how long each is used for... is not irrelevant at all.
This is why, despite the apparent bloat, all applications should be completely self contained (portable, sandboxed, kinda) in their own folders (statically linked). So when you toss the folder, all traces of the app are gone with it. The old Macs were sort of like that. But with Microsoft, and Linux to an extent, they take a shotgun to your drive and then fill in the holes, splattering the application all over the place. It's kind of incestuous the way everything mixes up together. Apps that you don't even know about, running in the background cause many mysterious crashes. Sending the black box info to Microsoft has become necessary.
I just run a personalized live system now. Boots factory fresh every time.
No, it is not insane at all. In fact, it is most logical, and it worked. As long as we keep it up, Russia will never be a real threat. That is something I'm sure the Europeans can appreciate. Whether they do or not, is another story.
Tell that to the Europeans:-) That's the thing, North America is entirely removed from their very real security concerns, energy, food, invasion. Before WW2, going back to ancient times the continent has always been at war. The feudal (nationalist) idealism still lingers to this day. We have our nice big oceans to protect us. You know what they say about bliss... And the sociopathy of the leaders is also very real. Whether they like it or not, they do depend on us to tamp it down a bit. That's why the Balkan wars didn't spread this time. And the Russians will never get past Ukraine again, if we don't drop our drawers. While Russia's economy remains a bit tattered, the NATO buildup on the Eastern Front is quite logical and even reasonable. And an unstable middle east serves our purpose of making sure the Russia doesn't get fat off the things we no longer need. And of course there is the elephant in the room, Hillary's legacy. You don't argue against that.
Contrary to popular opinion, both invasions of Iraq have really been at the UK's request. I obviously don't agree with them, but I do understand the reasons. The second one was a true "wag the dog" moment. Look into Blair's affair with Wendy Deng. Murdoch got his war. Yes, they do kill people to cover this kind of stuff up. Sociopathy is a dominant trait. It has to be when you make the decision to go to war. Theresa May answered the *big question* with a simple "yes" (I'll let you Google that), which, to tell the truth, is better than Corbyn's answer of total disarmament.
What's so strange and surprising about this? They need to spy on people. Really all they did is remove what little value Skype had left. I already quit using it. Not that WhatsApp is any better...

I don't know about the Apple side of things but considering they are mostly closed system, package management is probably cleaner.
This is what I'm talking about. Most Apple programs to this day can simply be copied, run, and deleted if desired, and it's gone.
What does justice have to do with it?
Depends who you ask.

But please, feel free to rub it!
I'll forgive Bush for Afghanistan
I'm sorry to hear that. Afghanistan is an opium war.
"Greater Good" goes up to 11
"Lesser Evil" only goes up to 10, so it's 1 louder.
When you need that extra push over the cliff, you go to 11..
Then he should renounce his citizenship.
I will have order!

Curses! Foiled by reason and logic, and legacy again! Damn Windows apps probably still need those DOS TSRs to work outside conventional memory too..
I guess the only way to fake it is put the entire OS in the application folder, though that might be a bit bulky even by today's standards.
Take a drive through Nevada. Piling up on one another is not going to be an issue for quite a while.
Jefferson? You mean that Jefferson? Oh my! Don't he make Trump sound nice :-)

Sometimes updating the library will break the app. So I still see no advantage.
I think now the problem is licensing, distribution rights. But I don't want to get started on another copyright rant.
may become independent
Quebexit..
Promises promises...
You can still download the iso from Microsoft.

The print is too small...
Just checked... Now I'm not so sure. Google is very elusive about giving a direct answer.
Betamax is gone too. You can still get Betacam...
This is not the way to do it. Give us a "safe mode" if you please, so we still have a phone.

The UK's new Prime Minister will protect us!
There no longer is a USSR to annoy
