  1. Have you tried to use Remote Assistance? Trying to get a non-techie user to set it up so you can get in takes an hour if at all.

    I use Join.me, which people can generally do in about 5 minutes.

    Yep. I remember that. I was scratching my head at that one.

    Try to retire early and take up a second career doing something you love doing.

    "What, a long haired socialist like Jesus on the court? Nonsense, they'd want a proper Christian not some middle eastern immigrant who's soft on crime."

    As a Christian who was formerly a Republican, this is hilarious and absolutely true these days.

    Bork was about things that Democrats are generally FOR. It was hypocrisy at its best.

    Dude, you are a joke living in backwards-land. Reagan was the best president in my lifetime. Clinton was the second-best.

    As a Conservative who disagrees a lot with the current Republican party, I agree with you on this one. But at least he TRIED, which is more than I can say for at least 4 justices, who I've never once seen try to get at the original intent of the Constitution.

    Liberals want their justices to invent laws whole cloth from the SCOTUS bench. Forget that Constitution rag...

    This country is founded on freedom of religion. If you don't like it, leave.

    Are you joking? NoCal votes 90% Democrat regardless if the candidate already bankrupted the state twice (Jerry Brown) or if they are the worst Senators in the entire Senate (Feinstein and Boxer). SoCal (much closer to 50/50 down here) couldn't make a difference if they wanted to.

    Yeah, watching Locked Up Abroad, I was surprised that almost every other country (including the Middle East) had better prisons than the USA. Only Latin America was typically worse.

    I, for one, will never find out.

    There are too many other SSD brands to be happy about.

    I agree though. Just call it Toshiba and drop the OCZ. It's like calling your food product "Black Plague".

    I quit using Ubuntu far before systemd (during the Vista days because Vista). Back then, updates would crash it and then make me spend hours getting it back to a functional state.

    I went back to Windows with Windows 7. So that's not a systemd thing as much as a Ubuntu thing.

    Or you could spend $20 on a new DVD burner. Seriously, this is a non-issue if HP used some cheap piece-of-crap that doesn't have a standard interface and made it work on Windows 7 with band-aids and duct tape.

    Because the first thing that happens when someone brings home a pre-installed Linux machine is a phone call asking, "How do I install Microsoft Office on it?" And when the answer is, "You can't", it gets boxed up and sent back to the store.

    32-bit is much smaller than 64-bit, for one thing.

    That's how my HP Stream 7 is using only 23 GB in its Windows 10 partition, and I have Office and Olive Tree Bible reader on there as well as my standard Ninite.com freeware.
