Oh, yes. We had a very sucessful one of these in Germany. Successfully catching fire without anybody in the control room realizing until some sailors from the Rhine called the fire brigade. They were utterly impressed by the burning sodium leaking from the cooling circuit and all the ways it can't be extinguished, It also successfully supported the local construction industry by costing billions more than the generous budget and last but not least successfully never producing a single Watt of output while eating 1,000 DM notes by the kilogram for years. It's still standing around uselessly at the Rhine and will do so for quite a few more years because it's too radioactive for demolition.

Sorry, as a normal user (not a programmer or computer wizard) this is still much too technical for me. I'll stay with Linux, C++, Pascal, Java, assembler and machine code - simple, reproducable tools. Not cryptic command lines like the above. I just don't think Windows is ready for the desktop yet.

Comment It's going to be great! (Score 1) 97

It's going to be so great that I still am happily using Windows 10. No matter how much it is complaining and nagging an trying to trick me to "upgrade". It's pretty telling that basically everybody expects a new product from MS to be significantly worse than its' predecessor. Must be feeling great to work for a trainwreck of a company like that. They literally have given software development a bad name.

3.500 were evacuated two days ago in Berlin. It didn't make it to the news because it happens about two or three times a year. Has been happening twice or thee times a year since 1945 to be precise. No, I certainly haven't done anything for your country - and, believe it or not, the way you're talking does not exactly give me muich of an intention to.
