Of course he is a troll. Pedophiles try to hide as much as possible. They know they are scum "but can't help themselves." They know that if they are ever found out they will... have an unpleasant time.
I agree with the "No" for the long term. It will be nice and everyone's happy until someone (management) realizes they are not maximizing their profit potential, initializing the echelon, spanking the baby, or whatever market-speak term is popular at the time. And then start charging money.
I seriously hope I'm wrong and this works. I'm just a bit of a pessimist.
If it was FSM there would be sauce for all to be enjoyed. But you need to bring your own pasta. On a more serious side, can you imagine the 14 trillion interpretations that would come with that disaster?
(Now remember, I'm saying no loss of life here) if it fell into an American football stadium at halftime. Can you imagine the special that NFL Films would make out of that. Steve Sabol: "Ohhhhhhh, and the satellite falls incomplete on the thirty yard line!" I wonder if that would make SportsCenter's Top 10 Plays of the week? Or would that be the Not Top 10 Plays of the Week? Official box score- "Game cancelled due to severe satellite weather conditions. Attendance: 54,321, plus 1 hunk of metal and a Martian." Would the home team get a Delay of Game penalty? You know how sometimes kids can run the baseball bases before/after a game? They could have an impromptu Run Around the Crater. Have the mascots do a tug of war with it? So many opportunities.
Actually, I like having my apps pop back up when I re-start. If I don't want them to come back, a few -Qs, then hit restart. I'm getting long in the tooth, my Macbook Pro will 6 years old this December (did get a HDD upgrade). Not the fastest bugger, but I can multitask fairly well while waiting for it.
The fun part about all the responders missed the entire point about how these tests are being measured in seconds (which I made fun of). Someone said minutes, someone was talking about tablets, someone is trying to melt his carry bag.
I can kind of see not reading TFA, but shouldn't you comprehend my first paragraph where I'm ripping into testing articles that tout a "2 second faster boot"?f
I honestly didn't know that Windows 8 ran on tablets. Probably because it is not out yet.
Getting back to the subject, I love ER docs, they saved my life, literally. But since this was a WIndows 8 test, I think it should have been fairly obvious that I was not talking tablets.
I do see your point. Perhaps we are looking at different spaces here. I'm looking at it as a home, non-work computer. If you are looking at it as a business/work system, I can see the frustration.
First of all, this story is about Britain. Second, what the fuck are you even going about pulling Germany into a post about Britain? 3rd, I got the damn idea from some stupid British tabloid, then retold by the Register (I believe. Don't any Brazilians get mad at me now! [No offence to Brazlians, first country that came to mind]).
Now go back to your German happy place and contemplate how comparing your countries rules and stories is totally incompatible when the story is about some other country.
It's called "just in time inventory," which is why the drives are cheap(er) to begin with- no warehouse overhead expenses. I guess you also missed the whole supply & demand explanation for prices in school, too.
Don't forget the requirement to have 20+ years of Java experience (or whatever that number was back when they were just pulling numbers out of their asses.).
Isn't this a thing the local and/or state police should be doing? Not the whole random search thing, but pulling over drivers that actually BREAK A FREAKING rule first? Or how about just pull every 'soccer mom' that is randomly texting and talking on her cell phone while she pilots her 20 ton assault vehicle into my passenger side door?
You missed BBXYZ. Or FUCBBX. Yeah, I'm grouchy this morning. Tired of copyright & patent trolls. And don't give me any shit about how copyrights and patents are great, I said "trolls." Could the company BASIS jam any more terms into it description. About the only thing it left out was goatse (well, probably for a good reason).
I'm skipping the anonymous part. But what about the report that chiropractors aren't real doctors that came our a few years ago? Or how saying anything about a celebrity/gov official is considered out of bounds (even with sources)?
Hate US journalism/reporting/TMZ as much as you want, but at least the government doesn't censor it.
"Ideally, a modern desktop OS should be booted once." What! And remove another dick-measurement metric from the field. You blasphemer! And other stuff.
"I can't help but think that people who marvel at improved boot times are rebooting their machines too much." Yeppers, I said that somewhere else in this thread. (You beat me too it, though. You win boot-posting death match! [yes, I'm just joking around] )

Yep, it's a fancy Slinky.

Thank you, you saved me the effort. You would think someone with that low of an UID would be smarter than that comment.

Cool. Unfortunately your spine will be a noodle after you get hit. Bonk!

"Tell them the truth...."
You mean that they'll never get laid?
(I kid, I kid!)
((Not really.))
(((Heh)))

If you laptop is melting something while shutting down or suspended while in a bag, you may want to look into something better next time.

Erm,

Second, what the fuck are you even going about pulling Germany into a post about Britain?

But it did take all get out of time to get there.

You're OK.
And just clean the gutter out.

In Penguin Antarctica, Microsoft optimizes you!
"I suggest you explore more."
Is this like a video game, or an Indian Jones movie?
ICS will be release very soon. We promise. Maybe. I gotta talk to that other guy over there. Once he's done playing Metroid.
