I upgraded just recently and it's been an absolutely smooth ride since. I love this OS so much! It's so simple to use and I don't have to spend hours to download and install additional programs and drivers from the Internet. Only the VGA driver was necessary to download and install. When I upgraded it took me like 20 minutes to install it and I was good to go!;) Unbelievable! Big plus is that you don't have to use any antivirus or any antimalware as it is pretty safe by default. The only thing about safety is that you should at least turn on the firewall, and possibly adjust some settings if you want.
Wait... are we talking about Debian Linux or Windows 10??? I upgraded to Debian 8.5. The last Windows I used were Windows 7. Since then MS is dead for me.
My computer setup consists of two computers. First computer has a standard Dell 3D projector with a Intellitech mind interface and 10PB of Lentax SRS memory. Second computer is a portable one with a smaller 3D projector, Huangfei mind interface and just 1PB of Dantec SRS memory. I often use them together because I like to make music with the portable one and mix it on the bigger screen virtual environment. What year is this again?
"This I would like to know. What is a MS machine is not connected to the Internet - will it eventually grind to a halt ?"
No. I routinely use Windows XP and Windows 7 in my audio studio, and these systems are not connected to the Internet. Their sole purpose is making music. For everything else I use Debian Linux with MATE desktop on another bootable partition, but I usually use my laptop with Debian Linux and MATE for Internet. One breathes much easily with Linux for Internet. No virus-antivirus and no malware-anti-malware "games". Just using the computer like a normal human being without any worries.
You are an uneducated vegetarian who thought that not eating meat only will make you healthier. Well I have newsflash for you: you have to change your diet appropriately. It is not just about dropping meat and eating everything you used to eat before. I have been a vegetarian for 30 years of which I've been a vegan for 6 years. My health and my blood is perfect. I had problems with anaemia in my teens but I recognised that I had to change my diet and introduce more fruits with C vitamin which helps iron absorption. Since then I drink tea with lemon before lunch at least, and at least some fruits between meals. Regarding D vitamin, you have to eat sun dried button mushrooms. They contain loads of D vitamin. The only problem is how to get B12, and its deficiency also contributes to anaemia, so you have to either take the B12 supplement or get enough of it in supplemented foods like soy milk.
They will make it easier to decline W10 installation because the main goal has been already achieved - the dumbest part of the population have already been upgraded and there's no point in doing it any more. Also, losing the case in court helped, too, as they want to avoid losing money like that. It's all really carefully pre-calculated. They're not as dumb as you might think. This is like saying sorry to your neighbour after you've already shit on his porch.
I forgot to add that I'm using Google Hangout in Iceweasel [Debian Firefox]. I suppose a pretty good alternative could also be Firefox Hello. There are many alternatives to Skype nowadays. Let people know about the alternatives. They're going to like some of them for sure.
...a whole lot more than just Skype. Starting with its administration, then it's main product - Windows itself. Yep, they've got a loooot of stuff they should fix. I stopped believing they were able to do that years ago. Since I got rid of Microsoft from my life I feel much better, and I feel more content. So I propose that instead of waiting for them to fix anything [it's like "Waiting for Godot" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., rather forget about them and never use any of their products again. Life is much simpler and more pleasurable without Microsoft. Trust me. d=;) Cheers!
What would you call survivors of the nuclear war then? Would you like to be one? Just think about it what it would look like if you survived a global thermo-nuclear war. I'd personally rather be dead than a survivor.
Exactly. People should know that creating a separate/home partition is pretty essential if you want to retain your documents and program settings between OS upgrades, and upgrading every two years or so is highly recommendable anyway. I did it 3 times already on my Thinkpad, from Debian Squeeze, to Debian Wheezy, and recently to Debian Jessie. It left all my program settings and all the documents on the/home partition intact. So never install everything on one partition in Linux if you're planning to upgrade or change the OS later. You should at least have a separate/swap,/home, and the main OS partition.
I am not surprised at all. Since there are more bikers, there are more accidents and injuries. It's a very simple calculation a 1st grader should be able to do.
For some people normal is shitting in a hole in a ground, then others can only shit in a john.
I really think author's perspective on this is quite subjective and a bit conservative. Times change.
"how many people would rather watch porn than have sex?"
Well, it depends on the situation and people involved. Like, I'm more promiscuous than my wife, which is often the case. So I have to relieve myself at times, to make it easier or her, and for me, actually. It's also far better than going to the whorehouse, which I'd never do, having porn or not.
If we [the world] invested the same effort and money into space exploration as we do in making weapons, we'd be already exploring the nearest galaxies.
I read that article completely and Linus' main point was not that C++ is a crap language, but that it's a computer language more susceptible to bad programming practices, which all of your posts more or less confirm. If you ask him, I think he would tell you exactly that, and it's the truth. C++ can be brilliant and awful at the same time, depending on who's "behind the wheel".

Who is L.S. and why is he an ass?
One W10 feature that I'd really like to see is it becoming magically W7. All problems solved.
Does being unemployed count as a side-job??

Absolutely. Biotechnology like kale, beets, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, oranges, bananas etc. are absolutely crucial!

So you would like and prefer that to happen as opposed to preventing it and living like this?
So what you're saying is you would be able to survive like that for years and you are not worried?
What would you call survivors of the nuclear war then? Would you like to be one? Just think about it what it would look like if you survived a global thermo-nuclear war. I'd personally rather be dead than a survivor.
Same here. I usually actually don't want to buy whatever they're advertising, and especially if the ad is annoying in some way, usually too loud.
If I sold 2.3 million of phones I'd be a millionaire and very happy. ;)
What Apple Watch? What is that?

Hell, how many of you guys want that, too? I fucked a lot of bad girls but married a good girl. ;) It's not just a women's trait.
