As well they shouldn't. Having to relearn something you already know how to do is dead, wasted time. By itself it serves no purpose. Forcing people to relearn things is only justified if it is inextricably tied to making those things better, which, alas, too often it is only in the developer's mind.
Yes, yes, a proper upgrade is a wipe and re-install. A proper patch requires you to reboot your computer at least once. Those things are only true for Windows, because Windows is broken.
I believe in Angels. They play baseball in Los Angeles.
Only when they're playing Dodgers away. Angels' home field is in Anaheim. Since 2005, they've billed themselves as the "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim", 'cause Anaheim isn't such a marketable name.
If you're vaccinated, it's not going to affect you.
Probably. Vaccinations aren't 100%, you know. But if enough people are vaccinated, the herd immunity will wind up protecting even if the vaccine fails.
If you're not vaccinated because you can't afford to be, then get Obamacare quickly. If you're not vaccinated because of stupidity, then may God help you.
And if you're not vaccinated because a medical condition prevents it (compromised immune systems and vaccines don't mix), well, I guess it just sucks to be you, doesn't it?
"Annexation" of Kosovo? Tell me, what country is Kosovo now a part of? The only country I'm aware of that doesn't recognize Kosovo's independence is Serbia, and that's because they claim Kosovo is still a part of *them*.
One notes that this part is not *inside* the engine, but is a port cover for a secondary system. Pump exhaust covers/baffles, yes. Turbine blades? Not so much.
I'm sure deGaulle would've been surprised to learn that the US and Britain set up his government. Also that there were US or British military bases on French soil after they asked us to leave, which we did. They must have been invisible.
tcsh fails to fix all of the awful syntactic problems with csh. Korn shell is the way to go, particularly now that it's truly free. Vim, yes (On Linux, there's rarely a need to add it manually, though). Password Gorilla, which I use to store all my passwords, is another.
This is overstating things. Water rights are an old story in many places. People work out having other countries upstream of them, even unfriendly ones. Hell, even India and Pakistan manage. And the only *land* access to the Crimea is over the Isthmus of Perekop, but it is quite accessible across the Kerch Strait, which is very narrow (less than three miles wide), and is serviced by frequent and regular ferries. There are proposals to bridge it as well (it's been bridged in the past).
I'm willing to be fair about this; the Soviets have enough to their account that we don't need to add things that aren't their fault. Yugoslavia's tyranny was mostly on Tito; he successfully resisted Soviet occupation of Yugoslavia (mainly because Yugoslavia's eviction of the Axis was mostly accomplished by his own Partisans, with little Soviet involvement).
And later went on to liberate almost all of Europe.
Really? REALLY? Ask the Poles how "liberated" they were. Ask the Czechs how "liberated" they were. Ask the Slovaks how "liberated" they were. Ask the Hungarians how "liberated" they were. Ask the Bulgarians how "liberated" they were. Ask the Romanians how "liberated" they were. Ask the East Germans how "liberated" they were. Ask the Baltics how "liberated" they were. Yep, that's a lot of liberation, there.
Netflix can't combine all-you-can-eat VOD and a substantial discount on expedited shipping of physical goods into one subscription.
Why would they want to? I go to Netflix for all-you-can-eat VOD, and I go to Amazon to shipping of physical goods. It's not likely I'd got to Netflix for shipping--or to Amazon for VOD.
Germany and Japan haven't invaded anybody in seventy years. Meanwhile, Microsoft is, even as we speak attempting to ram home an opaque, binary blob document format, OOXML (hilariously called "Open") as a standard over Open Document Format to cement MS Office's lock on office suite software.

Yeah. Let's go get sushi and not pay.
I think astronomers will be very surprised to learn that they aren't scientists.
They have one of those for Windows, too!

They're selling a lot fewer cell phones than they used to.

And Hitler was not really German, he killed lots of Germans, and he's dead. What's your point?
We can change the definition of words if they were created after we were born, too. Definitions of words are constantly changing.
"You're not paying our taxes, and it's not fair!"
That's the beauty of it. Planting shills in online forums works even if the tactic is revealed.
I *know* he's a terrible person--look at all internet posts telling me so!

Or both. You can store binary data in XML. Which is just what OOXML does. It stashes opaque binary blobs in XML stanzas.
