I doubt we're going to agree. You've got your point of view and it works for you, so that's great. My point of view is that the world is not made especially for me. Life is great, but it requires adjustments to really enjoy it. That works for me. You can go out and find that OS that is built perfectly for you. You'll likely have to build or modify your own. If that brings you joy, go forward with joy in your heart.
It seems like you were unable to read past the 14th word I wrote. You may need to adjust your screes size or locate the scroll bar. Anyone who works on systems for any period of time knows that each OS has its pain points. I pointed out that I was able to mitigate the main complaints with Windows 10 and I made it work for the employees here. No getting beaten daily. No random reboots. No unplanned for UI changes. The same goes for macOS, LINUX, and older systems like HPUX and tru64. You find the pain points and mitigate them. I'm happy and the other employees are happy. Seems to work for us.
Sure, it is very annoying. The thing is, you learn to deal with it. My Windows 10 does not install updates until I allow it to. You can work around the problems. Going back to Windows 7 is not the answer. Windows 7 was great, but people still bitched about it for a couple years after it came out claiming they'd never quit using Windows XP. In my job I have to work with Windows, LINUX, and macOS. I don't bitch about any of them because that won't solve anything. I just learn how to deal with the stupid crap that each OS throws at me. Open tickets with the company that makes the OS when you find an issue. Either they'll fix it or they won't. If they don't, find your own workaround and get on with your life. I won't install 1803 until I feel its stable. If you're still pissed off, give yourself a hug... it might help.
Hah, I was thinking the exact same thing. If the past few decades have taught us anything, it's that given enough resources programming will become increasingly inefficient. Why clear memory when computers already have so much? Why compress any file format when you've got so much disk space?
The annoying part is if you unlock your car with that physical key it sets off the alarm. Our last car had the fob system and we had problem after problem. It was a 2007 car, so maybe the tech wasn't mature yet. It might be a while before I buy another fob locked/started car.
To be fair, your chances of sleeping with a supermodel greatly increase when you win the lottery. Not saying it's a 90% chance, but it is much higher than the 0.0000000000000000001% chance I have right now.
American companies prefer to not have their IP stolen by foreign companies.
Also, don't start with something as silly and foolish as: "it's hard to remember a more contentious period between the two countries in recent times". Really? Is it that hard to remember more contentious countries? Let me get you started: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I watched the entire hour and a half long special without the aid of drugs or alcohol. I'm not sure if that is a badge of honor or a sign of mental illness...
I think it is about time to update the meaning of the word "promise" to better fit how it is currently used:
Promise - A declaration or assurance that is given to an individual or group of individuals in order to sucker them into parting with money or something of monetary value. (for the purposes of this definition, votes are considered something of monetary value. Make sure you declare those "in-kind" contributions when running for public office)
Hawaii is attempting a novel method for rat eradication right now. While effective against rats, it seems to also be eradicating homes. Collateral damage is always a risk...
Very true. They collected any and all information and waited until they needed or wanted something from you to let you know they had "interesting" information about you. At that point it was in your best interest to cooperate. It didn't really matter if the information they had on you was accurate or not.

You mean they make a toaster in THREE colors now?!! How much $$?
I'd just use a marker to write the word "~NOT~" above "~STOLEN~". Then I'd have my very own delivery truck! Think of all the friends I could help move

I'm pretty sure the new ballpark is nuclear powered. Watch out 2020!

The expression is "cut off their nose to spite their face".
Please leave Santa Claus out of this discussion. What did he ever do to you?
You know, I've always been concerned about that. I think I need to be part of that study. Where do I pick up my grant $$?

Don't worry, I'm sure Ackbar and Holdo will get their own movies at some point.

I agree, edubuntu is a great option. My oldest is 7 years old and she enjoys using it.
Thanks for your reply. Its nice to see someone research their reply instead of just assuming the job was done without forthought.

Seems like some simple deduplication would do wonders for your environment. Many storage arrays support it now. Some do better work than others.

All that matters is the title... Next great movie series: Star Wars X1 It is Star Wars... but with the power of X... so... $$$$.. $
