Since this is Rick Perry, well known here in Texas for basically doing nothing, this is no surprise. Perry also could not remember that this was a dep't he wanted to get rid. He later demonstrated that in fact, he had no idea what the thing did.
My problems with 7 started with, like practically everyone, the push to 10. I was actually ready and eager to try this new one out. Had even signed up to get it early. But, alas (s/), 10 wouldn't install. Didn't like the graphics card. But did this stop MS from trying to shove this thing down my throat? Of course not!. Spent many a frustrating hour dealing with this. And by the time I had that little problem fixed, I had hosed Windows updates completely. Which, at the time, I though was a bad thing. So I spent more frustrating hours fixing this 'problem' after the free offer ended. I did learn to use System Explorer, which beats the hell out of the built in task manager (no surprise there). Nice little monitor thingy in the system tray on the task bar which can point out what is eating up your CPU. Except that often it will just say srvhost.exe. And there's a LOT of those things. So next I found Windows own Resource Monitor which actually will tell you. At any rate, I eventually learned to disable Windows Update (you can't just set it to manual, MS will override that). My point (and I do have one:) is that I've never been aware of the BITS part. So now I have both disabled and we'll see if this relieves some of my frustration. I thank you sir.
I was just thinking that screwball comedies in general were already pitched at such a furious pace that it would be silly to make them faster. It really is what helps make them so damn funny.
I dropped all forms of AdBlock after they started morphing into AdBlock Perhaps. uBlock Origen sounded a bit scary at first, but it works very, very well (as far as I can tell). Still, will have to check out doing something with the hosts file (which, if you ask me, is just horribly misnamed; sounds like it is a collection of things you WANT on your computer).
Consider however that Joyce scholars have been doing this type of thing for quite some time now. Except that in large part it was more or less by hand.
No trouble at all. We think of ourselves as the little blue dot in the big red state. Also, we are already making plans to secede from Texas should Texas actually secede from the US. See ya at SXSW [or any of the innumerable film fests we have].
Obviously you did not spend much time here in Austin. Me, I've already booked for a tour tomorrow. Also, if you were in DFW, you must have only been at the airport. Dallas and Fort Worth are totally different cities. Eh, too many foreigners coming here already. Buh-bye!
Word Perfect was what I first used, back in DOS days. The 'reveal all codes' feature was nifty. You can get some of that in LibreOffice, but not ALL codes. But, actually, usually enough to be very useful.

Attempting to combat piracy with stupidity probably won't work, but ya never know so, hey! Let's try it!!
Citations sorely needed...
This would simply be a given if the human was Trump.
Perhaps they are quietly trying to kill the damn thing without looking like that's what they are doing?
Call me when you can report simply "Facebook is shutting down".
Facebook IS destroying society and should be stopped (in a sane and just world; i.e. it won't happen).
Surely there must be something in The Art of War about using your opponents own weapons against them....
Hope this trickles out as I have given up on Firefox and now use Pale Moon.

This is funny, nifty and frightening, all at the same time!
Really, it's Walmart. Is anyone actually surprised by this?

Microsoft isn't paying the price; Windows users are paying the price, while MS gets lots n lots of guinea pigs for free :)

Capitalism at its finest, then.
And in other news, both Stalin and Hitler were posthumously jointly awarded the World Population Control Award.
I used to have a good Representative (Lloyd Doggett) until I got gerrymandered into this idiot's district. At least now I can vote against him...

At first, it looked like Goolge was offering a million dollars to the (Rasberry) Pi and I was gonna joke on that, but....

Kinda figured that that would have been one chosen. Took me awhile to realize that the title was also an imperative.

Yet another reason to stay the hell away from FB. Far, far away...
