The problem with these kinds of people (such as the one you responded to), is that there is *never* enough of someone else's money that they are willing to give away. As long as it isn't theirs.
Like...?
Street Fighter IV or V? or Mortal Combat? or do you mean those very specific titles?

Well regulated militia does not apply to the people, but the tyrannical standing military that the people are supposed to stand against. Check rulings from the supreme court on 2A for the last 200 years. It hasn't been in question.
Clearly, we need gender segregated offices. It is the only way to be fair.
Given that even numbers suck, I am sure they will be skipping odd numbers from now on.
I'll stick with Win 7
As will I. They'll need to pry Win 7 from my cold dead fingers. I read a few reviews on 10 yesterday, and the general consensus is that it's almost as good as 7, (better in some parts, worse in others) if you replace that hybrid start menu thingy with Classic Shell and get used to where they've moved things. Yeah. No.
Well, seeing how its an extension of Windows 7/8 and there is nothing missing that is in 7 really. Although if new interfaces bother you, it could be a reason to stick with Win3.1
You need to read reviews from professionals, not friends on Facebook
You are doing something wrong.
My windows 7 box was up for 2 years straight, not even having to reboot for video card drivers. (I did reboot it one time because I added a new hard drive and video card on the same day).
I only recently rebooted it for the insider fast ring of windows 10.
The fanboi myth that windows needs to be rebooted daily, is just that... a myth. Or you suck at choosing hardware... one of the two.
It's surprising to me, and telling of the CPU industry that this processor, that is 6 years old, still competes fairly well with the most capable modern processors for gaming (and is in fact faster than a 2500k for anything involving memory intensive processes).
Windows 10 Professional (x64) (build 10130)
2.87 gigahertz Intel Core i7 860
8192 kilobyte Ram
2239.99 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity
766.80 Gigabytes Hard Drive Free Space
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 [Display adapter]
24" Monitor

The processor these days is quite old, but I haven't found a compelling reason to upgrade in many years. It is primarily for gaming and yet, the processor matters so little. Some day I might upgrade purely for the benefit of newer memory, which will require a new board and processor.
That isn't the succession of Windows Naming btw... You may not have been around for it all though.
MS-DOS 1.25, 2.0, Version 2.1, Version 2.11, 3.0, Version 3.1, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 6.2, 6.21, 6.22 (Just major version changes)
Windows 1, 2, 3, 3.1, 3.11
Win95 -> Win98 ->WinMe
NT 3.1, 3.5, 3.51, 4.0, Win 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 (Windows Server is also in this chain)
That is the actual OS chain to be accurate... and Win95 and Windows could be argued to be in the DOS chain

This is a list of the entire series and I suggest them to anyone trying to get a kid interested in programming even if they are older.
I can't remember what they were called, but every quarter the schools would pass out these book ordering forms and inside them was a series of books that featured a kid named Orion.
The books were kids adventure novels, but the unique part about the book was that every chapter or two the kid would come across a clue and for you to "learn" what the clue was, you had to type in a basic program and execute it on your computer. This would reveal whatever the answer was and they were generally pretty short 20 lines or so. But having done this for 10 or so books I really looked forward more to the little programs than I did the books after a while. They started me down the line of figuring out what these programs did in 2nd grade on an Apple IIe
She has had 12 years to save $10,000.
As a doctor, if she can't save $1,000 a year for a system she *knows* she has to upgrade (surprise, windows has a support life cycle), then she really is pretty irresponsible to begin with.
She is lucky MS gave 12-13 years of support on this OS in the first place (that is a really long time for them). My advice: Take responsibility for your own mistakes.
And why is this on Slashdot?
Political news for nerds now?
If you teach your children to like computers and to know how to gamble then they'll always be interested in something and won't come to no real harm.
