Amusingly, in while taking first year university courses in 1993, I placed second in a programming competition that was sponsored by OTI (now IBM) and QNX (now Blackberry).
First prize was a licensed copy of QNX, second prize was a 2400 baud modem. I think I got a better deal with the modem.
HMMVW is an obscure insider term in the same sense that CPU is. The commenter simply assumed that the reader was not completely clueless about military vehicles.
I suppose the next thing you're going to say is that we shouldn't talk about JDAM or TOW to avoid confusing those kids whose dial up can't handle google.

is the exact same thing they said about every previous release. "They got it right this time", "they finally fixed all the bugs", "it has a few bugs that will surely be fixed quickly"...
This.
I'm pretty sure you could copy and paste 95% of the content from reviews of Windows 95 right into Win 10 reviews and nobody would blink an eye.
[NB. I have been testing Win 10 on non-production desktops for a few months, and I kind of like it. Despite having 20 years of linux experience and being a Java/Eclipse/J2EE "expert" I spent most of last weekend running Visual Studio 2015 on a Windows 10 VM and I didn't feel the need to scrub my skin clean with coarse sand, so things are looking pretty good.]
I'd definitely try this. The first application should be bacon sushi. Wrap some of the bacon-seaweed around some sticky rice and tempura-bacon-seaweed and serve with wasabi and ginger.
I'd like to see somebody make a decent case using UCC Article
As would I, unfortunately anyone wealthy enough to take that on is unlikely to consider it worth the effort in terms of opportunity cost. (i.e. If you can afford the legal fees you can also afford to completely write off the laptop and move on with your life because that's even cheaper and easier.)
"Sign in to the dashboard with your Microsoft account,"
No, go fuck yourself. Give me control over my updates/drivers inside the OS and don't make me sign up for your fucking spam in order to have a WORKING operating system.
The linked page was for hardware developers to submit their drivers to Microsoft so that they can be included in updates.
Thinking you can manage everything properly is actually a big blindspot right there.
Absolutely. There's far too many people out there who think that because they know one thing well that means they should be considered technical experts in other domains.
So true. I've been in the position a couple of times that if I did not provide a written summary I was being committed to something I knew nothing about. This isn't about malice, it's just how humans work (badly).
Yeah, and understand that when the PM says "well, if we all work 24x7 we'll be ontime" then PM is an idiot and should be told that.
Right idea, wrong tactic.
Instead of going head to head, it's a great place to be passive aggressive and start asking how you will be compensated for the extra hours and how they would like you to handle time off for job interviews.
Learn that when you disagree with someone it might be because you don't understand yet, you can change reactions you get from people if you say "I don't understand." instead of "I disagree."
Similarly, instead of "That's stupid." try "That doesn't sound right to me, can you explain?"
I have no objection to organizations like KA patenting this kind of thing so long as they also then license that patent back to the general public at zero cost.
Despite Java being my bread and butter for a decade this is hard to disagree with, I've met lots of professional java "programmers" who don't understand the JVM at all. (And don't even get me started on system administrators for enterprise systems... Seriously you're admin of a linux box and you don't know what top is and you're uncomfortable at the command line? Really?)
Even worse is the student world, just dip into the Java question stream on StackOverflow. 50% of the questions any first-year student C.S. would laugh at.
And then, they try to fire up Microsoft Visual Studio, and they wait even more, and they realize that their perception bubble isn't reality.
Indeed, I've been using Eclipse as a daily driver for a decade. Current startup time for a new workspace is on the order of 10 seconds, VisualStudio is almost identical.

I imagine at work I will be staying on win 7 until we are forced to choose
I know of major corporations that only STARTED their Win 7 ADOPTIONS in the fall of 2014, so I expect this to be the default.
Sounds totally cool. Also sounds like complete fiction.
I think you mean Phiction.

Your poor, poor bastard.

So, in other words, all those Windows users out there are useless to you?
Useless as technical experts.
Useless if we're trying to communicate about administering any other OS. (It happens... it's scary.)
" I have 20 years of linux experience"; the fact that it is possible to say this suddenly makes me feel truly old.
IKR?
Yes, because not knowing how to use Windows is a great bet for getting a job in a business environment.
Also, VMs are hard.
On one hand I have 20 years of linux experience. On the other hand it was 15 years before that experience actually paid off in my professional life.
Loving linux is great and all, but you're useless to me if you only know one platform.
I hadn't realized the extent to which the press in Moscow was still so utterly a tool of government.
Then you really haven't been paying attention.

Related to the first one:
Learn that when you disagree with someone it might be because you don't understand yet, you can change reactions you get from people if you say
"I don't understand." instead of "I disagree."
Similarly, instead of "That's stupid." try "That doesn't sound right to me, can you explain?"
Exactly.

Q.E.D.
We need a law for this; mention a crusty 20 year old technology that still gets the job done and a avid user will manifest.
eg, vi, emacs,
> Java desktop applications are uncommon. Both these things are true,
Unless you actually are involved in software development.
Pah. Next you'll be telling me it's got nothing to do with Javascript.
Well now that you bring it up...
