I had the same experience with Windows 10 Pro. Nagged to try Office 365 for a month, I went to download Firefox and saw an add to stick with IE and Bing, etc. etc. Also some of my neighbors have Windows 7 and 8.1, and have to constantly "hide" the Windows 10 upgrade from within Windows Update. Also Microsoft is calling Windows 10, "Windows as a service". what does that mean in practical every day language?. Also Windows 10, in the settings page allows you to get new "builds", on the slow track or the fast track, sounds like beta software to me. 75 million beta testers perhaps?. Also the fact that Windows 10 is a free upgrade for Windows 7, and 8.1 users sounds good, but is there a catch ?. Don't know the answers but at least I think I have some of the right questions. What is your take on this ?.

Comment Depends on how you define warfare. (Score 0) 77

"However, does it amount to a type of warfare?" Listen to Sun Tzu himself define warfare: " All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him." – Sun Tzu, the Art of War "Military tactics are like unto water; for water in its natural course runs away from high places and hastens downwards Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing. Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions. He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponent and thereby succeed in winning, may be called a heaven-born captain." – Sun Tzu "In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. In battle, there are not more than two methods of attack – the direct and the indirect; yet these two in combination give rise to an endless series of maneuvers. The direct and the indirect lead on to each other in turn. It is like moving in a circle – you never come to an end. Who can exhaust the possibilities of their combination?" – Sun Tzu

The link you gave calls the WTC attack a "nuclear demolition". I'm not sure how credible the link is.

I understand your lack of trust in this link, but the text pages on anthrax, what it is, what it can do are excellent. Also many firefighters, and rescue workers on 9/11, heard multiple explosions as they tried to rescue people from the buildings, I don't know if mini-nukes were used or not, but there were multiple explosions of some kind heard and felt by NYFD workers, or should I say Heroes.

Also listen to a 32 year veteran of the NYFD talk about 9/11.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQrpLp-X0ws).
