is completely canceled by noise-distraction. It's just the age-old (gravitational) force (myth) of the "cluster-fuck" speaking.

I might be open to trying linux for dev in the unlikely event that an employer is ever promoting them, but never again for the mac!

In my current place I tried one for the first couple (granted, it might not have been that well put together), but when it was time for a refresh (with as straight a face as I could manage): "not even if you put a gun to my head!"

seriously, bro. Yeah, I would say it's about 50/50 - either misophonia or else just bitch-orama! lol

reminds me of that guy's story from a few years ago. apparently you can die within a day or two just by being trapped in an inverted position.

Absolutely, this. Saying they are not going to do something that they were not going to do anyway, just to make money enabling a company to pollute is contrary to the design of the Audubon Society. They should have their charter revoked, lose their tax exempt status, etc.

It is a joke. He told the truth - the Emperor has no clothes! (which was the Emperor's own fault!)

your mom had quite a bit going on, making it hard to know what was the core issue. for me, it was chronic insomnia. (maybe your mom drank to help relax her to sleep (though it can have the opposite effect), or else to medicate the impact of chronic insomnia?) I wouldn't doubt insomnia has a strong, direct tie to dementia (as well as a host of other ills). those points from the article you site about sleep being related to brain clean-up seem dead on for me. my insomnia was alleviated with low, regular doses of elavil.

...indignation, or crusading, or any of those things.

It's devourment.

First thought they meant making the (biannual change) policy permanent, not the setting. Stupid title!

THANKS!

agreed. would be highly interested. on the face of it seems plausible though, and on the basis of that have simply been saying this (i.e. on MY OWN authority) to shut down my employers' absurd entreaties.

Have to say the installs went flawlessly. The final selling point was to get a couple more years of support out of an OS I am basically stuck with (i.e. MS Windows in general) due to work constraints.

I do hope to see these performance improvements folks are talking about, and am heartened that this Cortana thing can be turned off. However, some of my first experiences with Edge just now were giving ~20 second delays between letters typed into an input field.

I am not a great fan of MS's philosophy, nor, technology, but, like I said, feel relatively stuck/trapped with it (FOR NOW). Fortunately, the 10 OS seems fairly well performing and usable thus far, and I have already seen one improvement that has completely justified the switch. The infuriating behavior I put up with for a couple of years where edge swipes would continually send me to that worthless Apps palette seem to have finally gone away. I had found ways to turn that off at times (as well as the maddening edge window maximization), but they always managed to turn themselves back on again. So now, I guess, that palette is gone, which certainly seems to be the best option.

Just heartened to see a general trend of MS chastening over time. I believe in that - "the bigger they come...", "snake eating it's tail", etc. It's been mainly the open source movement / Linux which has done it. Even if the average Joe can't appreciate Linux's quality, MS can. "Ask not for whom the bell tolls...".

Capacitors are for storing up change, and ICs are supposed to be very low voltage/current requirements, so what do you need that for? Also, I thought surges such as a capacitor might produce are generally damaging to the micro-circuitry of an IC.

Just tax all those making in excess of some determined "wealth" threshold DIRECTLY and SOLEY to pay for it. Thus, you provide a disincentive to earn beyond this level (seems healthy off the top of my head). Also, perhaps most importantly, there is some poetic-justice in making the wealthy pay for the poor, considering they are basically alike (/brothers) of doing nothing. Or, rather, to be more accurate, I should say doing no WORK, in that I don't really consider paper-shuffling investing / entrepreneurship / business administration as being actual work (though it (sometimes) MIGHT produce actual value).

Ok, but then you are missing out on the (supremely) empowering experience of actually ~~clicking~~ on the ad.
