"ver" (command prompt) for Windows 7 reports "Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]", so now what?

My grandparents were fallout of WW I - They left the Ukrainian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and came to the USA. I never met them, since they died young, working in shitty jobs like rubber factories (cancer) in Detroit.

Fast-forward... since I never met the "folks from the old country" and only knew my mom and a step father who raised me as American, with no particular culture, other than American, I don't have any animosity towards past aggressors, I am happy with my lot in life.

My take-away, as trite as it may seem, is "what you don't know can't hurt you", and if you forget your (possibly shitty) past and just go forward you will be fine.

Shit! We have a real TARDIS?... (googling - !)... damn, I was so disappointed that TDRSS was NOT a typo.

And that is why it failed...

The "Left" and the "Right" are both the "Same" - e.g. "the ruling class".
Voters are just the "little people".

Notice how power shifts from one to the other and they keep adding bricks, each to their own wall, but neither side takes down bits the other side has put up?

Someday, the walls will meet and you will be on the outside...

I mean, if is approved for political donations how can California ban it?

Actually the money is usually above average.

Is it only half price, or is there some "set up" overhead?

My daughter has a Macbook Pro she is currently using as a doorstop, it looks a lot like one of the ones pictured.
