    Any woman that gets with this guy after this deserves it. I'm not about blaming victims in hindsight but I will gladly do it in foresight given this man's background.

    You're assuming that the woman *knows* about him. You're assuming he won't take steps to find one that doesn't--that's a pretty bad assumption to make.

    Or you could, you know, check a reference work such as the Urban Dictionary, which is what I did instead of bitching about my ignorance for all the world to admire.

    Turns out I was right about that, yes?

    US law is based on the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. You don't seem to understand what that means.

    Rather, you actually seem to think it's better that 100 innocent people go to prison than for one guilty person to go free. Which, for lack of a more precise term, is just plain nuts.

    >Why isn't it the case that new versions of Windows allow you to pick the UI from any previous version of Windows?

    The same reason no other software allows that either. It takes time (i.e. money) and engineering resources (i.e. money) to make that work and mostly nobody gives a crap.

    You've not actually installed any common Linux distro lately—if ever—I'm guessing?

    Let me supplement your experience, since it's apparently sadly lacking: Last time I did an openSUSE installation, I had my choice of desktops—KDE 4, KDE 5, Gnome 2, Gnome 3, LXDE, XFCE, Window Maker, and a couple of others. And I could have added a KDE 3 repo and installed that as well. Not to mention a blue million themes and add-ons for all of these...

    Now... You were saying...?

    Modded down because it's as off-topic as it gets, bonehead.

    "Off-topic" means "having nothing to do with the subject at hand". Around here, it's often regarded as an attempt to derail coherent discussion of the subject, as well.

    Why can't we have full regular expression searches of files by extension, date created or modified, file type, file contents, or any other file system attribute built in? Is that too much to ask? Instead they offer "advanced query syntax" except it's not all that advanced. Full RegEx support is advanced. Anything less is not worthy of serious computer users.

    Seeing that they've done so well with bash, maybe Microsoft can work on a port of KDE to Windows next. Konqueror/Dolphin have had those very capabilities for 10+ years.

    Maybe you need to take a ride on the Øresundståget. You'd see about 150 of these "toys" spinning merrily away, just as they've been doing for two decades or more.

    As a bonus, you can—or so I hear—buy some really good hash in Christiana and get a pleasant buzz on for the ride back to Malmö and points north, if that's your thing.

    I've voted in Swedish elections several times as a permanent resident.

    You also might be interested to know that you do not have to become a US citizen to serve in the US armed forces--permanent residents of the US are also eligible.

    I'd suggest you lose your love of circular logic first, though.
