Are you allowed to post in this thread? Isn't it some kind of conflict of interest? ;)

Exactly what I had in mind when I said that. :)

Dangerous? How about massively increasing the time it takes to do basic administrative tasks. I've spent so much time trying to do things in Server 2012 that were absolutely simple from NT 3.5 to Server 2008 that I am officially now rebelling against their stupid Metro interface. Everything is fucked up.

Try debugging an L2TP VPN connection using the silly new interface - you pass from old school to Metro to old school to Metro three times. It just ain't worth it.

They can make a new UI, but nobody's gotta accept or use the damn thing.

Even that Windows 8.1 laptop I was talking about in my parent post: I messed with that for two months. Two days ago I reloaded the thing with Windows 7. I have work to get done, don't have the time to mess with the latest Microsoft fad. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Hey it worked in Star Trek...

Which one? What are you talking about?

So, Mr Complainer, got a better idea?

"Under pressure from US lobbying, the clause that mass surveillance constitutes a human rights violation was dropped earlier."

WTF is this shit from the so-called "Land of the free and the home of the brave"? Not US lobbying, let's call it what it is: Corporate lobbying. Sickening to see my country dying under my feet. Everything my parents told me about Russia being bad when I was growing up is instead coming true here. Damn Damn Damn... Where's that flux capacitor when I need one?

Another who understands that "deflation" is simply a conspiracy by the Trilateral Illuminati, who meet in Davos each year to develop new methods of sapping our vital bodily fluids.

Six digits? What a bunch of n00bs... ;0

I remember this from way too long ago. I figured it had wrapped up years ago. Was surprised to see it's just now reaching settlement. This was even before OJ's low-speed chase...
