I wish you'd been more selective about sharing your treasonous 9/11 tinfoil conspiracy shit about the US military killing all the passengers in the jets and the people in the towers.

But the MS guys have been telling us for years that linux is broken because it has that "stupid" command line thing :)
Thanks for the info - good to see it's an easy fix.

The cutified female version of Bill Gates in the "Neptune" series has scared me away from the entire OSTan idea.

All I can conclude is that there is a serious drug problem in Redmond otherwise someone would have ripped this out and run the idiot who proposed it out of town.

"Many users -- especially on somewhat under-powered systems -- may find Win10 to be a painfully slow experience compared with Win7, irrespective of MS' claims." Big citation needed. There's no evidence that Windows 10 performs worse on low power systems and there's significant evidence that it performs better.

Win8 certainly fits that slow description for many things, most noticably file copying (how did they fuck up so badly?), so unless that has been fixed it makes sense. We need to see benchmarks either way and there seems to be a distinct lack of them from those claiming a faster speed as well.

As an aside there was a direct clone of the Letterman thing in Australia. The presenter (Steve Vizard) would even wander around with an empty coffee cup at the start of the show to copy what Letterman did. The presenter was one of the owners of the network that thought he was funny and decided he would play at being Letterman, but somehow he failed to copy the entertaining bits and made sure that he was not upstaged by any guests with actual talent by frequently interupting them.
I have no idea how he got away with it for four years, but he was a lawyer with a LOT of political connections as well as being a part owner of the network he was broadcasting on.

"It makes a grown man cry"

Very fitting choice.

Later on I'm surprised the Win7 advertisements didn't go like this:
"I'm a PC and looking like a Mac was my idea."

Since you can't even get the gender of the teacher right you are clearly just bluffing with no cards and no clue.

He was sacked? You have no idea what I'm writing about do you.

I didn't do anything embarrasing unless you think getting into fights

Just the sort of thing a potential employer would throw your resume out for. Didn't you hear about the teacher that was sacked over a "drunken pirate" photo?

It's going to be the norm in a few years instead of just an excuse for HR people caught wasting too much time on Facebook.

That's one of the reasons I don't use sudo on internet facing machines or have a KVM exposed to the internet, but that's another story.
To sum up I just have the opinion that one step root access from out on the internet is an accident waiting to happen - especially if you are likely to log on from anywhere and not a known trusted address.

Make a good policy, no passwords, only keys, and every employee has one.

And that laptop thief that is going to get an employees machine eventually is going to have one click access to root on your server - now that's a major fuckup isn't it?

However if an employee has to do "sudo" all the time, they just start turning their brain off while doing it.

I prefer "su" so as to keep things entirely separate although others swear by "sudo" for user tracking - either way if they can't keep track of context they should lay off the drugs.

Only about 3% of what other countries call "nuclear waste" gets turned into actual waste. The rest is converted back into more fuel.

Clearly a major error which I addressed and you embraced as propaganda with a disgusting little goalpost shift trick. If you want to be taken seriously I suggest less deliberate dishonesty.
