"Sheer, absolute boredom!"

But its not inferring anything. Its just saying "Somethings supposed to be there but we have no fucking idea what!"

That is most certainly inferring something. You are inferring that something is supposed to be there. It's a pretty well-grounded inference, but it's still an inference, not an observation.

He's in for a long, hard term.

Nah, man, Dick Grayson. Everybody loves Batman!

"Kim Davis was a pretty good example of this sort of thing happing on a scale that gained nationwide media attention. Being told you can't get married once it's the law of the land is something the news picks up on."

I can't come up with any evidence that Oregon's drug legalization was sabotaged. So, here, have this entirely unrelated incident in a completely different state!

The question is: does it need to talk to Microsoft's servers to run, like Office 365? If it does, then "no support"="no software". The article makes it fairly clear that the "consumer" version doesn't, but I can't figure out if this "LTSC" crap does.

You can already emulate the whole z architecture on a Linux PC: http://www.hercules-390.org./ It puts almost zero load on the PC, so, yeah, if you were insane enough you could probably do it in a browser.

"I'm absolutely certain there are red counties even in Oregon where the local government is more than happy to see a drug decriminalization program fail so people will go back to voting "the right way" (as someone else in this discussion so aptly put it)."

I don't have any actual, y'know, documented examples of this happening or of the actions they took to sabotage the program, but I'm certain!

"It may not be a case of Amsterdam vs New Amsterdam (I mean New York)"

Why they changed it I can't say.

If it's not part of the normal procedure, it should not only be documented, it should be documented in triplicate.

"This way to the egress."

You buy a safe made in the US, says so right there in the docs.

It has a *lock* made in China, but they don't tell you that.

I believe Satoshi Nakamoto is actually Alpharius.

Well, unfortunately, soon it came to be
Mr. Frump's dying day
And now I bring to you the very last thing
That Mr. Frump had to say...

'if you hand them whatever you can spare"

And that, right there, is why it's a luxury. Luxuries take whatever you can spare. Needs don't care if you can spare it or not.
