This has been solved by everyone not following tutorials from the 80s asking them to use xhost + to allow everyone everywhere to connect to your display.

systemd-screenlockerd saves the day!

Of course, it requires systemd-moused, systemd-keyboardd, systemd-windowd, systemd-X11d, and finally systemd-logind. Right now there's some compatibility issues that have been in the bug tracker for a year or so, so for best results you should also ditch KDE or gnome and go with systemd-windowd-managerd and systemd-menud. There's a few incompatible apps as well, if you have problems try using systemd-webbrowserd (requires systemd-networkd) and systemd-xtermd (requires systemd-fontd and systemd-shelld). Thunar works fine though for browsing files, as long as they're in the systemd folder.

They shot first, they eroded the trust to a point where people, not criminals or terrorists or pedophiles but ordinary law abiding people have stood up and said "we don't trust the government any more, nor the systems in place to protect our privacy, and so we have to take it into our own hands."

If they're looking for a zone of lawlessness, they should check under their own feet first.

I have to say my experience is the opposite. I'm running the technical preview on much weaker hardware - first generation Core 2 duo machine with 3GB of ram, and Windows 10 is sluggish, occasionally unresponsive, and likes to grind the disk a lot for no apparent reason. I ran Windows 8 on the same hardware, and Windows 8 absolutely flew on it, even before I managed to scrounge up an extra GB of ram. Now, it's likely that the Windows 10 build is not very well optimized at this point, so it's hard to draw conclusions. But I wouldn't call the current Windows 10 release faster than Windows 7 by any means, and certainly not faster than Windows 8 which is noticeably more responsive than 7 is (shame about the UI though...).

My boss was complaining about how he couldn't get some kindle book for work to be billed to his company card. The only options that come up for kindle books look to be to give it as a gift to someone else, use a gift card to buy it, or to buy it with 1 click which charges it straight to the card you have on file. I pointed out he just needed to change the 1 click card to the company card, buy it, then change the card back, but that was "too much work" (a man after me own heart).

I've seen something similar. My main computer has a basic Logitech mouse (Logitech G1) where I have no problems middle clicking. My other desktop has a Microsoft mouse (Comfort Mouse 3000) where it can be tricky sometimes to execute a middle click without it scrolling. The same mouse also has an small delay between middle clicking and the computer registering a middle click. It's short, maybe 100-200ms, but it's enough that if you click then move enough you'll end up middle clicking someplace you didn't want to. It's not a mouse you want to use if you do a lot of middle clicking. It's a shame because it's otherwise a nice mouse, but at some point I'll probably end up replacing it.

To be back on topic, the Logitech G1 mouse has a small button below the scroll wheel that by default maps to the 'back'. I rarely use it, but if you install the Logitech drivers you can remap it to be the middle button.

You want <ecode>:

I would say that they are included with the purchase of the device. To say they are free implies that I can get them at no cost without buying the hardware and possibly use them on some other device I already own.

I would say that Windows 8 is the version that tried to fundamentally change what Windows is. It was arguably the biggest change in the user interface since Windows 95, and the whole Metro thing is a whole different way of interacting with the computer. It of course flopped, and all that Windows 10 is (and to a lesser extent, Windows 8.1) is Microsoft making Windows look and act more like it how it was in WIndows 7.

Sounds like a rental so maybe the landlord wanted them to stay up there. But if it was my place taking down any satellite dishes would be one of the first things I did.

Usually what they do is put a blank plate where the tach would be. Looks cheap, but that was probably intentional with the hope that you'd upgrade to a model that included it. It was actually pretty common back in the 80's and 90's for the stripper manual version of the car to not have a tach, but the higher end automatic model would include it, which was completely backwards from what you'd expect.

That, and the auto's final overdrive gear is often has a lower ratio than the manual's final gear. This allows the car to run at a lower RPM on the freeway which is why you'll see the manual version get better mileage in the city but the auto wins on the freeway. I'm not sure why they do this, unless they think that people don't like downshifting to pass. To make this somewhat on-topic, this also has the side effect that the auto version is also quieter on the freeway.

Maybe the clicking is drowned out by all the fake engine noise trying to cover up the four-banger motor screaming at 4000 RPM?

Even more so on modern cars, where the current fashion is to bury the instruments deep into pods for some reason.

Actually, you would probably need SP2 and likely SP3. Support for pre-SP2 is pretty spotty nowadays, and a lot of stuff expects SP3. Also, I would stay well away from Flash or Java since that's the most likely way you'll get pwn3d even if you decided to use IE anyway.
