Then you haven't met the same liberals as me. Now to be fair, I haven't met one that has made all those claims, but every one of those I have heard from someone that believes them is liberal. When did /. become a parrot of the mainstream media. Maybe I should have stayed away, I've been away for a long time.

You have to force the complete shutdown to mount the windows partitions in Linux, the shared data partition is formatted in NTFS for use in Windows and Linux. So even to read the partition you have to force the complete shutdown. I don't always have it mounted, but I keep my movies and music on there so I can have easy access from both, so it can be a problem when I forget because I lose the time to shutdown Linux boot back to windows, force the complete shutdown and then boot back into Linux.

I was referring more to the fact that the AC said not even temporarily, it very much can. I agree that technically it is not burn in, but it looks like it and searching "LCD burn in" will give you the most results on how to get rid of it faster. Plus on the off chance it is permanent, not probable but not impossible, then it's burn in.

About #4, LCD's most certainly do have burn in. For whatever reason one day when I closed the lid to my laptop the monitor didn't shut off, 2 days later when I opened it again the image that was on the screen had been burned in. Granted it quickly (within a couple of hours) fixed itself with normal usage, it still happened. I believed as you did that LCD's don't burn in, but do some research on it and you will find that it does happen and is almost never permanent.

I did not affect my linux partitions when I upgraded form 7, grub was still there and everything was fine. It's not bad, it functions fine, but I regret upgrading. Windows 7 was much faster to boot and be usable and I didn't have to worry about making sure that I did a complete shutdown "shutdown /f something something i forget(I made a batch script for it)" to make sure I could access the shared data storage partition in linux. That is how they get those fast boot times, it doesn't completely shut down. Booting back into Windows after the complete shutdown takes fucking forever, and then you still have to wait for it to load all the other bullshit before it's usable. IMO stay with Windows 7 unless you have needs that only 10 can cover.
