No to all of your questions. Better go skydiving or crocodile hunting instead.

They are not innocent. Vice versa, the Uber managers knew perfectly well from the start that their company is breaking the laws. It's not as if these laws and regulations are secret, you know...

No they haven't. They are still very bad off ten years after the default, they even would have gotten into bad troubles again recently if they had followed the law, only because some private (!) investor wanted his money back.

Unfortunately, Greece's economy is very import oriented. Exiting the Euro would be catastrophic for Greece, which also the reason why the other EU countries tried everything they could to prevent this from happening (short of being blackmailed by Greece's current lunatic government).

I don't know, Windows 10 looks rather 80s to me. It certainly doesn't look modern.

Also, Microsoft has not yet given us any guarantees that we will not have to pay for subscriptions in future, that all features will continue to work, and that they pay for any damages that result from an automatic upgrade going wrong. So it doesn't seem wise to upgrade, at least not immediately. I'd rather wait a year or two.

LOL

I'm afraid you're just a moron - but a rather lucky one! Because in your world you'd already have died by a plane, car or train crash, food poisoning or thousands of other causes of unnatural death due to lack of security regulations.

Bah, these indie games really make me throw my guts out. And my girlfriend hates them as well.

Only Tad-like videos with "funny" Garageband background music are worse...

I guess I'm a bit cranky today. >:[

It's even more infuriating for non-expats who are not native speakers of English. Nobody except my long dead grandpa wants localized content, except perhaps for books, but even literary translations are getting less and less popular. Most literary translations suck, too, especially for genres like Science Fiction. Movies are the worst, their lip syncing is an abomination. And don't let me get started with video games, for some reason foreign voice actors are always worse than the original.

Almost everybody speaks English nowadays anyway, so at least they should give us a choice.

What's the problem? Nobody forces you to deal with a business you don't trust.

Unless you own a Seagate drive...

That's good, because the statement you have put in quotes has zero implications regarding the effectiveness or non-effectiveness of the substance or treatment in question. Perhaps basic logic training would also be helpful.

Right, why do some real work and create products if you can just blackmail other companies on the basis of vague schemata and a strong financial backing?

I find it hard to trust a company like Microsoft to give away an upgrade (that supposedly improves a thing or two) for free without some catch. Do they guarantee full service and support? Will there never be a subscription fee for any features? Will windows 10 never pester me with any advertisements or force software on me that I don't want? Will all the features remain active indefinitely in the future? Will the new rolling release upgrade schedule never send my PC into some infinite upgrade loop or blue screen of death?

If I had good faith that the answer is "yes" to all of these questions, then I'd upgrade. But I don't have this faith, so I'll rather pass this upgrade until I buy a new machine or until there is some compelling reason to upgrade.

I think they had to be ported from earlier lisp versions to common lisp, though.
