No stinking DST.
I have lived 38 years w/o DST, 33 years years with. I like daylight when I wake up, which I don't have in Mar, April, and Sep, Oct. I like to sit on my deck, listen to the cicadas while it is dark. In Jun, Jul, and part of Aug it isn't dark until well after 9. The country tried all year DST in the 70s, it was a disaster, and was stopped. One argument put forth to have DST was energy savings, but several studies have shown this to not be fact, in fact, oil consumption rises due to people driving more with the extended evening daylight.
Hire the best. If you worry about headcounts that mirror the population, help the schools, help children get interested in something besides the latest clothes fashions and entertainment flavors of the month.
Every other version of Windows is a dog: XP to Vista, then 7, then 8. 9 should be a winner, but maybe MS already knows it is essentially 8.2, so they needed to skip to 10 to keep the streak alive.
Agree, I could not lose my work computer for several days while I do the rebuild of programs, drivers, and preferences. A friend, who computer literate, spent two weeks getting his machine back to functioning.
In 2013, at the NCAA basketball play-in games in Dayton, the Pepsi and NCAA staff would not let media people take Coke products to their tables, courtside. The solution was to pour the Coke into Pepsi cups. Of course, this pissed off the media, who promptly wrote stories about this. Similar stories exist about the Olympics and other events that rely on sponsorship. And it is no different than how TV controls game start times and schedules.
Let us hope sideview mirrors are not replaced. The Mark 1 eyeball is still the best. The backup camera on my Lexus is essentially useless, especially at night. Looking out windows, into rear and side mirrors keeps a driver involved. Relying on a screen is folly.
Slashdot readers are much more sophisticated than the average home user, who only uses a computer for e-mail, social media, and web surfing. Why should they be expected to pay good money for a new computer, or to upgrade from XP and install all of the necessary drivers, hardware, etc.

DST does not help farmers
I do just that, if I hear open on EST, say on a recording, then I call back on EST, and of course no,one,is there, and,I leave a nasty message.
We will continue to have DST, because 98%+ of the population has not known anything other than DST, and think it is a good thing.

Glad to see MS continues to be style over substance.
So I guess they will pry a Coke can from my cold dead fingers
A slight downhill course

Anyone who sits on their phone gets what they deserve.
Sounds,like those trading up to the i6 are being sucker punched.
1. The boss is your father 2. Marry the boss's daughter 3. Work your butt off, especially in your early years. Nothing hard to understand about this.
Do you feel good knowing that the IRS is in charge of collecting for 0bamacare?
The only decision 0bama can make is on his next vacation site.
Sounds like left coast hippies still drugged out from the latest Pelosi rally

Start by getting rid of all of the TV shows and Movies dealing with paranormal activities. No wonder people believe this crap.

I have a rear view camera on a Nav screen. It is essentially useless, especially at night.
Catalytic converters are notorious for starting fires, especially in dry grassy areas.
