    Rclone for freebsd if you're not talking system image backup.

    If the manufacturer didn't support the scanner, why should Microsoft? Do you know what "few" means? If Linux had your scanner driver, why didn't you switch a decade earlier?

    So it'll never break down, use electricity or need updates to remain secure. Cool!

    Destroyed != damaged. Learn the difference, fucking idiots. And when to use "literally" appropriately.

    Not all of us are assholes looking to take advantage of the system. That is what you are.

    That's true of any fucking company or job. This is the Internet, not some tiny town.

  12. Re: Sharp gear was always crap anyway.... on Sharp To Americans: You Don't Want to Buy a Sharp-Brand TV (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    It's fuck faces like you who doesn't know what "works perfectly" means. You'd have to compare it against a new TV to see how bad the colours are now than when it was new in the 70's. I've had the big Wood TV's. They seem like quality, but it's just cause the source has been low quality and you've adjusted to the flaws over the years.

    I was going to argue with you until I realized that is how I feel about Sheryl Crap, I mean Sheryl Crow. It blows me away when people compliment her singing, it's fucking noise to my ears. If you want to talk about who can't hit high notes...

  14. Country != continent.

    A lot of service level agreements say provider isn't responsible for lost data. Managed VPS with backup is generally a premium.

  18. Re: Let me get this right . . . on Why Does Microsoft Still Offer a 32-bit OS? (backblaze.com) · · Score: 1

    This is Microsoft's recommendation. Even if you're on 64-bit Windows, only install 64-bit Office if you have fucking huge excel spreadsheets (ie 2GB). How have you supported so many and not come across this?

  19. Re: this cost me a weekend once on Why Does Microsoft Still Offer a 32-bit OS? (backblaze.com) · · Score: 1

    You can't upgrade 32 bit Windows to 64. You HAVE to do a clean install. I have no idea what you thought you selected that would.

    All they did was come out with a bigger screen for easier media consumption. They were nearly the first, but it was evolutionary for everyone given the shrinking of components and power improvements. They didn't even have copy and paste, for fucks sake.

    They're now putting their repair machines in Best Buys to deal with the scale. That solution was available before. Just now they are facing laws being made specifically because they took too long to scale.

    You seem to be wrong on multiple counts. WWI, for one thing. Trademark, for another. The patent already expired by end of WWI. Lastly, it looks like Germany punished US Bayer, not USA punishing Bayer. Fuck, that's a lot wrong. http://www.history.com/this-da...
