Win 10 runs even better than Vista did on the old hardware
I realise I've already replied to you, but it just occurred to me that what you're claiming is a lot like what climate change deniers often say about the year 1998:
Atmospheric temperatures haven't increased since 1998.
This is, of course, due to 1998 having an abnormally strong El Nino so being prime for cherry picking as a starting data point.
(It also happens to be wrong, as several subsequent years have been hotter but that's beside the point).
The point: Vista is an anomaly and I've yet to see a PC that runs Windows 10 better than it did XP or 7.
I see crappy netbooks on offer at my local retailer with 32GB SSDs (16GB of which is taken up by an already trimmed-down version of Windows 10) and 2GB RAM.
They run like molasses. I'm amazed anyone would consider a 2 minute boot time acceptable, and forget about trying to actually run any programs on it within the next two minutes.
I had to troubleshoot one for a client. Ended up replacing Windows with Fedora Linux and XFCE, and the difference is night and day. Five second boot time, and applications start nearly instantly.
Listen, and understand. SJWs are out there. They canâ(TM)t be bargained with. They canâ(TM)t be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely WILL NOT stop. Ever. Until your career is dead.
I posted this yesterday in another article but here it is again:
The Dell XPS regular version works fine under Linux as of about two years ago (the WiFi driver was the missing piece). In fact it works better than under Windows 10, which seems unable to properly use its own port replicators.
Android really is a Linux-based OS, just as much as your Fedora desktop or Raspbian data logger. Just because it's no longer GNU/Linux doesn't make it not Linux.
The m6502 xscreensaver hack approximates CRT artefacts quite well on an LCD. I've yet to see an LCD screen with the real* contrast range of a CRT though.
* Not the lying 20,000:1 contrast ratios that manufacturers claim.
As an interesting aside, the Dell XPS regular version works fine under Linux as of about two years ago (the WiFi driver was the missing piece). In fact it works better than under Windows 10, which seems unable to properly use its own port replicators.
Fitting, since a bitcoin is essentially just a certificate that some schmuck won a lottery after likely wasting hundreds of kilowatt-hours in compute energy.
But go one step further and let me tell it that I don't want it to *ever* install Silverlight, and to please stop offering it every few months as a different KB.
Also 18 August: A subgroup of the IAU formed which opposed the proposal. An astronomer in the group (aka, someone who studies stars, not planets) - Julio Ãngel FernÃndez - made up his own "cleared the neighborhood" definition.
While we're taking role titles literally, don't forget that as an astronomer, Sr Fernandez is only responsible for naming stars, not actually studying them.
Does it have to be limited to ketchup bottles though? If this can be applied as a general food-grade super lubricant, then what about coating the nozzles in chicken soup machines with this stuff so they don't clog so easily?

Are you sure about that?

If you have your TV connected to the Internet in 2017 with any expectation of privacy you have the intelligence of a tuna casserole.

No.

Take *that*, Richard Stallman.
You forgot to never expand acronyms inline, or this kind of silly shit happens..
Except for Oracle, of course.

Eco nuts already hate wind turbines because they kill birds that fly into them.
Just like buildings, trees and mountains.
Birds are stupid.

A pity these don't come with 120GB SSDs from the start.
That was the single most significant upgrade I made to old laptops (including ones with old ATA/100 interfaces).
Starting with a 500GB slow-as-crap laptop-grade HDD sounds like a recipe for frustration.
If at all, this should only affect new content.
There's no way this should apply to stuff that's already there.
Don't forget tracking protection. That was a pretty big deal.
After a [minute, hour, day, week, month, year, decade] in space.
Which is closest to 340 days?

That's a bit like asking them to name a well-tested zipper manufacturer, but not mention YKK.

ISS seemed neat at first; now everyone hates it.
Who does?
Really, so you can brick anyone's iPhone by playing the lock screen like a piano?
Not sure they've really thought that one through...
I'm guessing these people have never talked to an Australian.
But... but he did it first!
I hear Google are investing a lot in AI these days.
