Comment This isn't rocket surgery. (Score 1) 239

If it was environmental, ALL of the balls ON BOTH SIDES would have been underinflated. It doesn't take a room full of nerds to figure that out. Unless the Colts kept their balls in a warmer, this is a stupid waste of time. Have some integrity and stop trying to find ways to let the Patriots off the hook. Cheating is so ingrained in their culture they do it when they don't even need to. And they're not good at cheating because they keep getting caught. Tear their house to the ground and rebuild on a fresh foundation.

What you should have done was quote this from the MS page:

This is more than a one-time upgrade: once a Windows device is upgraded to Windows 10, we will continue to keep it current for the supported lifetime of the device – at no additional charge.

People will still latch onto the definition of "Windows device" and "supported lifetime of the device" but at least it's more clear than the linked article.

Their distribution model is pretty ridiculous. These people are trying like hell to pay for content that they want to watch. It would be easier and cheaper to just pirate the content but they want to pay and the media companies refuse to sell their product. They trick the media companies into being paid for their product and the media companies block them. It's absurd. Ridiculous. Asinine.

Try Windows. Cheap Windows 8.1 (full Windows, not RT) tablets are popping up like mushrooms. The recovery partition, OS, and its first round of updates take nearly 16 gigs. And they're selling tablets with 16 gigs of storage. So you power on your tablet, connect to your network, install the updates, and you've got a few hundred megs of storage left. I bought a $100 32 gig tablet just to play around and see how it works. I've installed Chrome and a couple little games and have 9.85 gigs free. Out of the 23.5 gigs that's left after they lopped off a 5.2 gig recovery partition. 5.2 gigs which, unless something goes terribly wrong, will never be used.
