What in the world is happening in the comments of this thread? Is there some kind of Trump brigade in force? Here's an additional fact check from politico - http://www.politico.com/blogs/... The comments she made are quite smart and thoughtful. This is just an absurd world we live in where reality no longer matters. My main take away from this election is that the human race has immense challenges still left for it to overcome. I am completely shocked at how emotional people are in this election process and unable to perform any critical thinking. It is as if millions of people have just turned off their brains. In WWI and WWII, you can study things like propaganda, historians are going to find a new item here to study. The effect it has had on the populace is remarkable.

These "folks" - Yeah the first OS i've used was in fact win95 - sorry but I'm late generation it seems. The complaint is that I don't want to change my OS if I don't want to, and that should be my choice - plain and simple. You spin your own web and live in the world you can neatly categorize. You say its different, yet don't even realize what different means. Different can mean hundreds of hours reconfiguring and migrating applications. Different means hundreds or thousands of dollars in migration costs. How naive are you to think you know what's best for everyone else?

Why is the onus on me to be FORCED to try it? Why can't I at least say no thanks I'll look at it another time. If I want to update I'll do so, at this time I have no wish to spend any time migrating to a new operating system where I have to migrate and fix everything I'm doing on my system where I don't even have confidence everything I do now will in fact migrate. The update nag to windows 10 does not let you say no! It remains forever until you uninstall it. Windows 10 may be god's gift to man, but if I want to chill in ignorance than let me do so. Why are you so arrogant that you know what's better for me? I can handle that fine, thanks. Maybe I'll love windows 10 but if I don't want it that's also my choice - and that's what you don't seem to understand.

To make it easy on everyone else: On windows 7 uninstall update - KB3035583 http://microsoft-news.com/how-... You literally have to remove a window update to get rid of it - I love how the update when you install it gave you no indication what it actually was going to do. I seriously hate how updates work with windows. I look forward to the hundreds of stories on how no one wants to move off windows 7, and how windows 7 is still present in huge numbers in the year 2025. I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't realize that I don't want my desktop to look and operate like my phone.

Indeed. It's not a _related_ article but a OP ED by Grover Norquist. The most most right-wing anti-tax advocate out there, it's hardly an article where a journalist actually performed research on it independently. I'm very interested in understanding any tax consideration that may arise, but I automatically discount anything from the lunatic fringe that have their life agendas at stake.

Your eyes will change with age and Lasik does not address the natural degradation over time that happens to most people. Depending on her age she would likely have worse vision today if she didn't have it done earlier.

I never went blind during my procedure whatsoever. Your eyes get tired and you close them as they get very sensitive but I was never blind at all.

There really isn't going to be malware that sophisticated where they will attack the browser just waiting for the master password to be entered. Additionally, it would need another avenue to attack the OS/browser. From a perspective of a normal user, I would say that the master password would protect you from the vast majority of attacks that rely on reading your password in plaintext stored in your settings. Additionally, while possible, sniffing out the master password is still possible, no malware authors would go so far to get those passwords outside of specific targeted attacks. There is just so much other low hanging fruit. I think a master password is an imperfect but effective tool to use. I've started to use Keepass myself for password management, they have browser plugins but I have not evaluated it yet myself. Password encryption for storage is a good thing, not a bad thing!

I just purchased a laptop from https://www.system76.com/ their laptops come only with Ubuntu, had excellent customization options, and reasonable pricing (why is it so hard to customize laptops nowadays, when did this happen =\ ) My colleague recommended them and I get my laptop Monday so I don't have first hand experience yet, but I just had to make this decision and that's what I ended with selecting.

I'm about to give up installing the requirements for a GUI on CentOS 5.3 trying to get php-gtk installed is quite the venture.

I work in the financial industry (trading) and I do not think you really know what the FIX protocol does. Take a look at their adopters, This is a stock/option trading protocol not a banking exchange protocol. http://fixprotocol.org/adopters/18
