Look, it isn't unreasonable for the police to search a home of someone they found trespassing.
It should be. If the trespasser was strongly suspected of stealing, sure. But just because someone is trespassing at site A doesn't mean it makes sense to search site B.
So I guess in the interests of fairness you would suggesting lobotomizing everyone to bring them down to your level of stupidity?
No need for that when simple distractions work. Unlike Harrison's father, we carry our distractions in our pockets and sleep with them next to our beds. https://archive.org/stream/Har...
"Who knows better than I do what normal is?"
Living hand-to-mouth can be more stressful than working overtime. The constant worry about the next meal or what ifs about losing the only place you can afford take their toll.
But the alien conspiracy creates an "other" which binds the Earth together. Dr. Manhattan creates a new nuclear arms race to create more Dr. Manhattans (even if in secret). The squid might not have been necessary, but something alien was. This is from the Antogonist's perspective. From the readers' perspective, we all understand that it's a matter of time before the house of cards for either secret falls.
People could just as easily be wanting anything "not windows 8" but can't wait to buy a computer until windows 10 is released. That would mean Windows 7 or some other OS. Inertia means Windows 7.
Disable pagefile if you have sufficient ram. Disable hibernation. Disable system restore. Keep your computer on overnight so the updates and defrags happen in the middle of the night instead of when you first turn on the machine. That should help.
Okay, revised:
"My driving a car is statistically riskier to my physical safety than riding a bus. But I drive, because I have more control there. Sometimes convenience wins out over security."
My second analogy still stands (altered for clarity): "Just because I'll happily engage in one risky behavior doesn't mean I should now climb a ladder when I could use stairs instead."
Some Americans use their mother's maiden name as a middle name. Then sometimes that gets passed on to a Jr. or "the III". By then, everyone thinks it's just a regular surname, so they use it as such.
CPU and RAM lights would be constantly on (although I have seen gauges with multiple LEDs like on Apple Xserves). USB devices that shift between active and inactive states (HDDs, thumb drives, etc) have their own activity LEDs; no need for an LED on the bus. Although this reminds me of one quirk of Macs that I hate: the NICs have no LEDs, so testing jack on/off state is harder to do with a MacBook or iMac.
My driving a car is statistically riskier to my physical safety than flying. But I drive, because I have more control there. Sometimes convenience wins out over security.
To make my analogy fit better, the two things should be unrelated: Just because I'll happily drive a car doesn't mean I should now climb a ladder when I could use stairs instead.
Well, GP is calling food a poison. Processed or not, 50 years of thrice daily consumption is too long an onset time for a poison. Bad food perhaps, but calling it poison is engaging in hyperbole.
Usually by the time you've got boot sector errors, you'll have errors on a lot of other sectors. I've been hit several times by circuit board problems. For one user, I was able to swap circuit boards with an identical drive and recover important data.
Again, this is a right definition of the verb "to share". The looser definition that the OP used was in the vein of "I'm Michael Jackson, but not *that* Michael Jackson. We just share a name."

That was a pretty smart answer. *eyes Gryle warily*

How dare he try to make himself smarter than average! That's unfair!
He should have bought Indiana University. I hear NCAA rules encourage chair throwing.

We should throw in some white colored apes
Will albino shouting gorillas do? "Love Mom!"
we are all hominids, and we are certainly not mammals!
That's kind of what you said here. Hominidae is a slice of Hominoidea.
Businesses just ended one fiscal year. There was a flurry of purchases with last year's budget. And maybe a little with this year's.

Duh! I bet it matches up exactly with kids that don't understand pointers and linked lists. Wonder why that might be...

Different users find different things friendly. I want options and configurability. Grandma Culture20 wants one button and a wizard.

Now if you are a renter, its not really your home is it.
It's not your property, but it is your home. An important distinction. It's not like a hotel room.
