To be fair, I learned to do Ctrl+S (or equivalent) before I ever used Windows. If you heard a loud scream from the Midwestern US in 1986 or early 87, that was me, when I'd been working for hours without saving, and my network connection went pear-shaped, losing nearly a full day of intense coding.
There was one time I had serious insomnia, and because I'd previous taken several sick days, I came in anyway. Frankly, it was just dumb luck I didn't kill anyone (or myself), because I had absolutely no business driving in that condition.
I've always thought that a supervisor who insists that a sick employee come to work should talk to the employee in person. In close quarters. After they recover, maybe they'll be more generous with sick time.
Logic fail. 1 and 2 are mutually exclusive so they can't both be true.
They could both be partially true. Maybe he killed his neighbor and is being persecuted by froces within the Belize government and police department.:)
I never used ME, so I can't compare, but Windows 8 is good in some ways, for example it boots faster than Linux or OSX. All its crap is in Metro. OTOH, Vista had a decent UI (not much different than XP), but otherwise, it was crap. As bad as Metro is, I still prefer 8 to Vista.
Not quite true on OS/2 vs NT. NT was every bit as hard to install as OS/2, and slower, bigger, and much less compatible with existing software. However, Win95, though worse in most respects than OS/2, did install on much more machines, plus had name recognition from Win 3X. NT didn't really take off until after Win95 had beaten OS/2.
Unfortunately, there IS no "local". Those small bookstores I shopped it in the old days? Long gone. I suppose I could shop at Barnes & Noble, but I wouldn't call them "local".
And that's because the article says -13C and not +13C which is quite a bit of difference. It'd be cool if the editors actually did their editing work;-)
I don't know. 13C is already a little cool in some parts of the country.
In late November? Maybe in Texas or Arizona, but here in northwestern Missouri, it's closer to 13F than 13C.
Money was probably the 2nd best financial management program, but it wasn't really all that good. Neither was Quicken, IMO. They were just less bad than the competition.:-P

So, should we start writing legal documents in Lojban?

"Using Windows leads to fear, fear leads to anger, etc".
I'm driving somewhere unfamiliar soon, and I wasn't really planning to go to Australia.
As long as nobody invokes Order 66, I'm happy.
IIRC, there was a Unix clone called Coherent that DID run on a 286 (not sure how it worked).
What about those of us who are still using Windows 3.1? On a 286.
Why would anyone go into Death Valley in the summer? Unless their GPS went wrong sooner than I thought.

I'm guessing it was a virus.
Windows 95 gave us real multitasking at a time when you could freeze a Macintosh by holding down the mouse button.
Windows 95 didn't invent multitasking. I think nearly every other OS, except the Mac, had it first, including OS/2.

One of them isn't compatible with current stuff because it run on ARM, and the other will cost an ARM & leg.
You don't think your sister's 2012 built house will be compatible with the iPhone 27 in the year 2100?
Picard uses Windows?
But Vista blew hard enough to cause wind all the way to Windows 11.
-You're on crack. 99% of all people on the planet use MS on a daily basis.
Which explains why they don't want it on their phones. :)

But not so short that your car stops in the middle of the road.
