    Show him how much faster it is to search email in Outlook and local files. It's an instant sell every time =)

  2. Genius!!! It's like in the movie Independence Day where a ship is turned into a Trojan horse and a virus is uploaded to the mother ship. Only, we've infected ourselves with the Obamacare virus, and the world will download it from us.

  3. Forget justifying it in dollars. The specter of liability looms overhead knowing that statistically, someone might die on such a mission to mars.

  6. I've been told by various people that High Sierra has serious SMB performance issues when connecting to a Windows file server. I'm not sure if that's also true when connecting to any NAS as well. El Capitan, no problem.

    Apple changed something for sure.

    GNC products (and general herbal supplements) are very popular in China. The difference is that it's scientifically produced and measured "snake oil"; but snake oil none the less.

  8. Bonus? You sure itâ(TM)s not on purpose? Talk about giving the Gov the ultimate âoekill switchâ. Damn shame someone make the wrong political move eh?

    We already have a ton of test cases. Just look at lottery winners

    So, the fact 70% of lottery winners go BANKRUPT, and roughly 40+% blow through all their winnings in 5 years is exemplary as to how inefficient an economy is when people make choices on wealth they didn't earn. If you have any further doubt about this, please see your local and federal government; when politicians run out of money, they just take it out of bonds or get the Federal Reserve to print more cash (effectively taxation via inflation and devaluation of personal savings).

    Sooo.....why in the fuck do we want to hand out free money again? Oh yeah, to buy votes!!!

  10. Re: Duh? on Finland Is Killing Its Basic Income Experiment (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Work" is essentially an act of labor that few people want to do, but something society needs to be done. So, we put a value on it.

    Want a paycheck? Go out and work for it. Prove your valuable by doing what's need in an economy, NOT by what YOU want. Because frankly, people don't give a shit what you want; it's not in their immediate self-interests to care.

    Don't worry, I'm sure they will be the 51st state in short order. A great Puerto Rico purchase, all funded by the US tax payer. Why bring them to the states when they can buy votes where they live now?

    A lamp (LED based, crank, and/or solar charge) and reading material changes everything! The biggest innovation came when books were mass produced and the ability to read them at night (affordably) became possible. Otherwise, daylight is reserved for farming and thus a society is stuck in an agrarian stand-still.

    Once a civilization becomes informed and enlightened, decision will be made to elect representatives that reflect their values. Otherwise, despots and dictators will fill the vacuum left in the wake of an ignorant populous and thus leave them in "shit hole" status. Speaking of shit holes, plumbing, specifically, the toilet, is a major quality of life improvement due to improvements in sanitary conditions.

  15. I would love to get a Enterprise edition as it doesn't contain all that telemetry bloatware. In fact, Enterprise is truly a successor to Windows 7 Pro.

    For those that are using Windows 10 Home and Pro, check out O&O ShutUp10. The real irony is that O&O is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner LOL =)

  16. Oh, I had to deal with an MS botched patch that was applied last month that resulted in a BSOD every time someone logged off a PC, shutdown, or initiated a reboot. The message was SESSION_HAS_VALID_POOL_ON_EXIT' 0x00000ab. Clearly this was a software kernel panic, not HW which is normally you see with faulty storage or RAM. Occasionally, a buggy device driver can cause one too. But no, this bug was the direct fault of Microsoft!

    FYI you can apply the fix via KB4099467 however.

    Truth be told, most of congress backs what Mark is doing; surveillance and censorship to protect DC/Beltway (aka Deep State) from the rest of the plebs. Their anger however is rooted in it not being created out of legislation and thus under the direct wing of the Feds.

    In all sincerity. This drag-out of the Zuck was nothing more than Congress putting their foot down as to making it crystal clear as to who's the boss. Mark probably now gets it. As such, expect FB to get a slap on the wrist, and life goes on as it always has. Exception - FB becomes the unofficial official mole to spy on the American public. I have zero doubt there will be a backdoor of analytics pulled and funneled back to the Feds. Oh hell, perhaps the next POTUS will get a monthly briefing on the heartbeat of America as outlined via FB.

  24. LOL, the rule of law is DEAD in America. The legislative and executive branch will just DDOS the Judicial system. And you know what, people wont care. Ohh look, new model of the Sex Robot 3000! With attachments.
