    I'd rather put my gentlemans vegetables in a blender

  6. You shouldn't crash into power lines then.

    Eh, I get my newspapers in DTF (Dead Tree Format). No digital subscription, No email spam. No need for an internet connection or electricity. Sure it costs a little more, but it can also be converted easily into a fly swatter or firelighting material.

    Or emergency toilet paper.

  12. I used to know how to use google very well. Now Google thinks it knows better than me, and "corrects" all my search queries. It's getting to the stage where Bing produces more useful search results...

  24. Re:No practical reason for linux on the desktop on 'WannaCry Makes an Easy Case For Linux' (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    I think this is what you're looking for, sure it's not Linux, but it does exactly what you're asking for: https://reactos.org/

    On the point of macOS, many users like it because it's UNIX-like, without the maintenance issues seen in Linux. However, i would like to see a project, like WINE, for /any/ version of Mac OS, and given the open-source nature of Darwin and OpenStep, i'm suprised no-ones tried to do it.

  25. Re:Everything since Windows 10 on 'WannaCry Makes an Easy Case For Linux' (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    ReactOS 0.4.5 was released today, and that runs Office. I think ReactOS could have a bright and promising future in the next few years, especially since it's very hard for Linux to shake its reputation as a complex and finicky system for "nerds" and people in IT. Android dodged the whole issue by blatantly distancing itself from the Linux name.
