So you use a new OS for the first time, expect it to act like a previous OS, spend no time learning or configuring it, and blame it for doing something you didn't expect?
I'm not sure the OS is the issue here.

Just another reminder to use strong passwords, password managers, and change them often. It's a pain, but it's the reality of the digital world.
What good is a password manager when the answers to your security questions are public knowledge?
Who says you need to tell the truth on those questions?
Q: "What is your mother's maiden name?"
A: "Purple monkey dishwasher."
Damnit, time to change the security question on the password manager for my luggage.
"sometimes sent out refurbished phones"
not sometimes ALWAYS...
I was one of the first to get an HTC M8 and the first to suffer the failures of the device. 5 days after I first got the phone I had to send it in for replacement (lens cracking and scratching on camera that is still rampant) and I got back a refurb.
They will never ever send you a brand new phone unless they have no other choice. They will send you someone elses borked item first.
I know there are methods to remove the ads - but I have to say that when they planned this out they did it right. I've never felt a need to remove it from mine. They only show up on the home screen (where they are crazy small) and on my screen saver thing. When I'm reading there is no difference. I really don't spend any significant amount of time not actually "in" books on the thing so I forget about it. Every so often it will remind me to connect to wi-fi if I haven't done so in a long time but if it really helps keep the cost of the readers down I don't mind it at all.
I think that calibre plus the kindle means that I have access to pretty much everything. It's like having the worlds largest library in my home. And since I don't live in a country that has libraries with books in my native language that's a pretty nice thing.
And I have moved enough that I really don't want physical books much any more. There are instances where they are better but for anything I'd read as a paperback I much prefer electronic now.
I modded up some of our discussions (by our I mean our little(r) circle here) last week or something like that.
What's funny is the drive I found in the office is throwing some errors too so I just ordered a new one.
Oh man, WFA. Those were the days. From there it was off to TFC and then CS beta 2/3.
For $70 you can get a fantastic e-ink reader. The 6 inch kindle with offers is $69.
Team that up with Calibre on a PC and you are all set. That is how I do all my reading now.
Russia had a sort of "agreement" regarding the naval bases in Crimea.
So what makes it an "agreement" instead of an agreement? Russia had a treaty negotiated between two nations that were formerly Soviet republics.
Our government has simply dismissed any Russian claims, and Russian loyalties of the people. In our pursuit of "US interests" we act as if nothing else matters.
The people with those Russian loyalties are living in another country. Is there any limit to the claims that Russia can make based on the fact that some of the population of another country had ancestors that lived in Russia? Or are they simply entitled to annex other countries based on that fact? Does that work for other countries too? There are many Germans that live in Russia and Eastern Europe. Can Germany just start annexing those areas and countries? Is there a lower limit to the percentage of people with Russian ancestry that you would accept Russia annexing territory? 50%? 25%? 10%? 1%?
I am embarrassed at the arrogant, pompous jackasses running our government, here in the US.
But you don't see similar flaws in the Russian government and their handling of events, including repeated annexation of the territory if its neighbors by armed force over the last decade?
We put a puppet in charge of Kiev, and he is behaving badly. Porko, the misbehaving puppet, sparked this revolution, after all. You can expect that sort of thing when you stage a coup.
I get that you are basically anti-American government and highly suspicious of them, but that doesn't constitute proof. Do you have actual proof of this asserted coup? Are you quite sure this isn't the will of the Ukrainian people asserting itself? The fact that some international organizations or pro-democracy organizations were present and working in Ukraine doesn't really constitute evidence in that regard. Something a bit more concrete is needed. Or are you just assuming that a coup by the US took place?
How are those petty little sanctions working, anyway? Has Wall Street come to understand yet, that Russia can and will feed her people, despite our impotent leadership's saber rattling?
So, do you prefer war? Or should Russia be able to annex whatever territory it chooses in Europe without consequence? What makes you think that there is an attempt to starve Russia going on?
You seem to have a few chips on your shoulder, but it isn't clear why.
There are no formed Russian military units pouring over the border. There are some Russian soldiers who are on leave and using their personal time to help the separatist movement in Ukraine, but there is absolutely NO ORGANIZED RUSSIAN EFFORT here.
NATO has pictures of Russian artillery units operating in Ukraine. Russian soldiers on leave might bring a uniform, they wouldn't bring artillery and ammunition for it. Your post is total BS.

Rebel forces admit the Russians are fighting with them.
The Ukrainian government says Russian forces are in their country fighting them.
Russia and Ukraine have swapped prisoners, including Russian airborne soldiers captured in Ukraine.
Exactly what sort of proof were you looking for that this isn't enough?
The drive died but not before I got copied what I wanted copied. Clonezilla failed and then it just totally tanked. So I just put in the drive I was trying to clone over to and did a fresh install. Now I'm copying back some stuff.
My Slashdot subscription ended and you can't buy it any more. The page seems to say this is temporary but I wonder if that is going away?
They are adding the new while making the previous behavior accessible. FTA:
Classic Quake Live isn't being abandoned
While these changes are part of the new default Quake Live ruleset, the majority of them can be avoided by opting for Classic ruleset games. All the public Duel servers will run in Classic mode, and Create Match will let subscribers pick from Quake Live, Classic and Turbo rulesets. That's another thing – PQL (Promode Quake Live) is now called Turbo. As the Quake Live team explain it: "We hope that running our FFA [Free For All] and Teamplay servers with these new, fun, and accessible mechanics that we can begin to build a larger base of players who could then try their luck at the Classic Duel experience."
And here is a link to how the Moscow Times reported on the story:
Don't Mess With Nuclear Russia, Putin Warns at Youth Camp
LAKE SELIGER, Russia — President Vladimir Putin said Friday that Russia's armed forces, backed by its nuclear arsenal, were ready to meet any aggression, declaring at a pro-Kremlin youth camp that foreign states should understand: "It's best not to mess with us."
Not really any different from the other stories. The reason why is that international relations are conducted by nations and heads of state according to various norms. If you don't understand those norms then you will miss the significance of various statements or events.
With your bare hands?!?
