'y' or 'n'

Fox Butterfield, is that you?

You keep speaking of this "law" thing as though, at this point, it made some sort of difference.

Sorry that the obvious escapes you so readily.

Yup so far, in windows 10. There are 2 folowup settings that I've felt the the need to after turning everything off in the customize privacy screen.

1) Turn off messages about smart screen. (You can turn off smart screen during install, windows evidently thinks this is a security risk, so it's an alert in action center. So you effectively turn off smart screen, and then follow up by turning off messages about smart screen being off. Not a huge deal... since smart screen *is* a legitimate A/V feature. And some non-tech people probably should have it on; despite the privacy implication. Its a standard feature of all modern A/V software. So its not omgz ms is evil.

2) Turn off forwarding windows search to bing. Again, another easy to access setting, but an extra step.

I prefer windows updates on for my personal desktops so I don't worry about that. The risk of a bad update screwing me over has proven to be less than the risk of not having them. In my opinion.

There is some rumbling about some telemetry features that can only be turned off with enterprise. I'd like to know more about that.

You can turn off the nags about smart screen in Action center. (simplest way to get there is to click the flag in the system tray.) but its also via control panels.

The option is literally called "turn of messages about smart screen".

Nagging about the cloud? I setup a local account, the only time i see messages at all about 'their cloud' is when i add new "metro" apps -- which i don't do much. (Same as windows 8.0/8.1).

Again: what is "the deal"?
Cough up the actual details about what's going on, why don't you?
The Iran deal is a 100% "stuck in fupid" waste of time. I hope that the Secretary of Stumped got a lot of freaky flier miles. Iran is doing what it's going to do. We have stated that, not only do we refuse to oppose them, but we're going to blow off sanctions. I guess it proves what morons we are. President Jarrett must be all giggly.
Then there's you and your brother d_r on here trying to be apologists for the idiocy.
What an inverted day we live in.

Are you unaware that there are "side deals" with the IAEA to which Congress is not privy? Your use of "fact" in this context is. . .humorous.

This is 100% you talking. I defy you to show when I (or anyone else, for that matter) has EVER floated a theory that HRC or BHO initiated the attack on Benghazi, irrespective of motive.
I theorize that you're in High Troll mode here, and rate this a C+ effort.

By not submitting a treaty as a treaty, for 2/3 ratification, I'm pretty sure President Jarrett has indicated her overall opinion of whatever Congress has to say.

The chief value of the Secretary of Stumped is to distract from the stone cold disaster that was his predecessor.
We so baked!

Contrast the situation with your boy Woodrow after WWI, when a proper Congress told a POTUS to stuff his idiocy. The Iran deal is to diplomacy what Planned Parenthood is to unborn life.

But go ahead and get your d_r on, assuming a proud, sneering posture in the face of a wretched debacle.

You're sooooo right: I'm the one doing the "drive by". We're just going to "wash, rinse, repeat" that.

Because the only one that has a response responsibility is me. The mistake was ever to consider this dialogue.

Well, let's keep in mind that you're the one asking the questions here. Far be it from you to sound anything other than Oz-like.

They're not even suggestions. They're rules to be broken so you can feel like a good radical.
