> Anyone remember Ubuntu circa 2008?

It was awesome. And remained awesome until - I think - October 2010. That is when Gnome 3 and Unity came out. Then Ubuntu completely barfed all over itself with systemd.

What a massive disappointment. I used to anxiously await the upgrade, because Ubuntu just got better and better.

Gnome 3 drove me away from Gnome. Now I use MATE.

> Making the next ones have an all white male cast wouldn't fix anything, if that's all you changed.

The races, or genders, of the cast has nothing to do with whether Star Wars was ruined by SJWs.

For example: the new sequels strain to make all females absolutely perfect beyond belief, while all the male leads are stupid beyond belief. It is obvious PC BS, and it gets very tiresome.

Those laws apply to US citizens.

Also, the MSM publishes classified leaks all the time.

1) Assange is not a US citizen, and is not subject to US laws.

2) Assange does not have a security clearance. He has never promised to keep US secrets. And there is no expectation that he keep US secrets.

3) MSM publishes classified leaks all time. Do you think the MSM has some special rights?

4) Is Assange "pretending" to be a journalist? Has he called himself that? What exactly makes somebody a real journalist?

Is that supposed to be a crime or something? MSM does that all the time.

> In this case he knew those leaks were classified and he chose to publish them.

So? Is that supposed to be illegal or something? The MSM does this all the time.

Assange does not have a clearance, and is not even a US citizen. Those who gave him classified information may have committed crimes, but Assange did not.

Anybody remember Pentagon Papers? Then there was the Bay of Pigs.

More recently, NYT and other other leftist MSM have released mountains of classified leaks to smear Trump.

Why should wikileaks be treated differently?

I am guessing around 8.

But I would honestly want to know.

Eventually: internet will cost $80 a month and internet + cable bundle will cost $90 a month.

I have heard that Microsoft used the BSD stack for their networking. If so, msft must have worked overtime to make it suck. BSD has good networking IMO.

Workgroups, homegroups, only having selective versions of Windows that can join a domain. It's a mess, and getting worse.

Aside from that, in my experience, msft networking just does not reliably work. Copy a large number file from one box to another, and many of the files may get dropped; or it may crap out halfway through. There are ways to do this more reliably, but you should not have to use special hacks.

I was recently asked to help somebody move her files from an XP box, to a Windows 10 home version box. She wants the XP box set up so she can go through it, and copy what she wants where she wants. Should be nothing to it, but it's actually a pain. Put both versions of windows on a workgroup, have full admin privileges. But windows will not allow some directories to be shared. I am not the only person who has noticed this. Windows forums are filed with similar complaints.

Msft offers help pages on this sort of thing. But msft's documentation simply does not work. Msft instructs users to follow a particular procedure, but the OS will not allow it. Crap documentation for a crap OS.

I am not looking for help on this. Just posting my opinion.

One must have is all it takes to reject linux in favor of windows.

Other factors:

Windows comes pre-installed on every laptop you buy, so why remove the standard OS?

Windows is used in schools, and at work, it is more familiar.

> The longest lifespans are in Japan.

Specifically, the traditional Okinawa diet. This diet is very low in any kind of animal product, or processed food. I doubt there is any dairy.

I am not sure about the sodium content of that diet.

Or prove that heavy metal music, or video games cause violence.

Does the Koran cause violence?

Not as if they will ever earn anything with that degree.

That was awesome. Too bad freedom of speech is dead now. Ah well, it had a good run.

Duh. Reports do not convict or exonerate.

Reports only present what evidence was found. In this case, no evidence was found.
 

Also healthcare benefits.

I used to work with an Indian visa worker. He could hardly believe US healthcare expenses. Even with health insurance he could barely afford the deductibles and the stuff the insurance would not pay for.

Healthcare in Mexico is much more affordable.

Maybe we need to have that little talk - you know: about where electricity comes from.

If the electricity comes from a diesel, or worse yet, coal plant, then I doubt there is any environmental benefit.

Works like Debian without the systemd.

1. Secret ballot so no one can tell how you voted.
2. Secret ballot so you cannot prove to anyone how you voted even if you want to. (too often ignored)

So thousands of extra votes show up after voting closed. Are they real? How do we check?

Source?

Evidence?

After two years of this unbelievable extensive investigation, so you a shred of evidence to back up your absurd conspiracy theory?

>> All you need to vote is a driver's license, and illegals have those.

> You know how I can tell you've never registered to vote?

You know how I can tell you have no idea how sanctuary cities and states work?

I was thinking more like the *massive* voter fraud in California and Florida.

> You'd think with 22 million cases of voter fraud, the Republican would be able to find at least one case of it. Still waiting on that.

I did not say 22 million cases of voter fraud. I said there were, at least, 22 million illegals living in the USA.

And I think they have found cases of voter fraud.
