    The real issue is if it's not posted on Facebook, then it does not exist.

  5. It's not going to be built until the McDonald's is finished first. Billions and Billions served. I hear the iced coffee will be a big seller down there!

  6. Think of the baby penguins!

    "Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do."

    "What's that?"

    "Go through his clothes and look for loose change."

    I have used CentOS, it's not to shabby. I'm just saying, there ARE versions on Linux one could pirate if being evil was the main goal...

    Red Hat Enterprise is tough on the wallet:

    That could be a candidate for piracy...

    Not that I would bother with such a thing.

    I agree.

    As an example, Adobe Creative Suite was one product that was very expensive to buy, and all but begged piracy. Now you can try it for free and then pay a "modest" price to use it every month here-after. In the age of Netflix, Hulu, YouTube Red, Spotify, what's ONE MORE subscription being auto-charged to your favorite credit card?

  13. Re:At a 90% piracy rate, why bother being legal? on PC Software Piracy Decreases Worldwide, But Remains Rampant (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Why still 10% legal... Because there has to be some legit Windows 98 SE OEM Discs with legal licences laying around somewhere.

  14. Windows 10 piracy dropped because Windows was no longer the product, the end user was.

  15. You should consider upgrading to windows 9.11 For Workgroups. I hear it has better security.

    North Pole, Alaska.

    Where the weather forecaster accurately predicts when Hell will freeze over.

  24. Yo listen up here's a story
    About a little guy that lives in a blue world
    And all day and all night and everything he sees
    Is just blue
    Like him inside and outside
    Blue his house with a blue little window
    And a blue Corvette
    And everything is blue for him
    And himself and everybody around
    Cause he ain't got nobody to listen
    I'm Blue...

  25. However, what can have a detrimental effect is a lack of sunlight. So get out of your cave and get some fresh air and sunlight your eyes will thank you.

    Living in Alaska, and working in a windowless room during the day, I can vouch for this suggestion.

    - Driving to work in darkness
    - Driving back home in darkness
    - Working in a secure vault during the day.
    - It's 40 below zero outside.

    Adds up to much suffering.
