    If you're running any form of Windows unattended for something important you're a fool.

    If you buy a new computer with no OS Windows 10 costs the standard $100-150.

    Lowballing asshats. I'm not touching it for less than 250.

    Your previous fridge lasted 10 years? I suspect that the new one will last slightly less than that, for values of slightly in the considerably range.

    You acknowledged that government might have a useful function and mentioned taxes without using phrases like "literally parasitic theft of my lifeblood at the point of a stormtrooper's gun".

    You also failed to claim that you made the sun, the moon and everything beneath them by the sweat of your own brow.

    I doubt most libertarians would accept you. Heck, you're barely even a Republican.

    Think there was something in ST:DS9 too. Wasn't Dr Bashir (unknowingly) one?

    It generally doesn't end well. I know the F stands for fiction but some SF writers have a good hook into human nature. I counsel caution.

    And you don't fix those, and start the software again?

    If the bugs have corrupted the data, restarting the software is just kicking the can down the road.

    That's a bit of a generalisation.

    It could mean someone else is getting fired and you're going to do their work on top of your own.

    Bullshit. Some people don't know what a null pointer means, but it does actually mean something.

    Synergising canine gonads into a polycultural chromatic win-win narrative doesn't mean anything to anyone, anywhere.

    FWIW, Windows 10 tells you that it's going to back up the operating system you have and let you revert (as long as it's within one month) during the install.

    Not in my experience. It just went ahead overnight, unattended.

    In the morning it appeared that it had done it; the logon screen had changed etc. Basically resigned to it, I logged on and only at that point did it ask for confirmation.

    The whole thing is a clusterfuck. In future this will be studied like the Ford Edsel and the Charge of the Light Brigade.
