Did you forget about the part where Win10 has to have its settings completely reconfigured for it not to suck (and not constantly download crap, and not spy on your computer)?

My PC’s been fucking up for last 20 minutes. I thought that my CPU malfunctioned or that I have caught a virus. But nope! Just a Windows Update!

Thanks Bill Gates!

Bill Gates doesn’t even run Microsoft anymore. That’s why we got crap like Windows 8/10.

what is wrong with Windows 10?

It certainly sucks for those of us not running it.

Well I don’t see any sane reason to use Windows, unless you play video games.

Sane reason to use Windows #1 = imperialscum is opposed to using it

Because OSX is by Apple and Linux has a penguin and I hate penguins and apples.

what is wrong with Windows 10?

I find the interface ugly, cluttered, and geared more towards the touchpad crowd. I had to google a hack just to get the touchscreen gestures on the touchpad permanently turned off. They were turning back on when rebooting. If I use my new traveling laptop more, I might get used to it, but I’m not holding my breath. The software updates are slow and huge. Who wants their machine tied up all day downloading bloat?

The underhanded dishonest way Microsoft has been forcing and tricking people with 7 or 8 into upgrading rises to the level of the Borg. I don’t want or need it on my older machine, and some people have hardware/software issues with 10.

Where were you in '77?

This.

And as to Wook’s last sentence, a little more specifically about software, Windows 10 has various issues with slightly older software/games; stuff that Win7 can run just fine.

I know artists who have had trouble getting their drawing tablets to work with 10.

As the U.S. Govt is still rocking with systems my father used in the 60’s and 70’s, they are safer from the Microsoft collective than the rest of us. 😉

I don’t think it’s a good idea to drink a can of Pepsi and two cans of Coke the day after a bad night of drinking.

Guess it depends how much whiskey you put in them.

why?

I vomited then got flu-like symptoms after a bout of heavy drinking last night. I guess my stomach just wasn’t ready to handle 119 grams of sugar after that.

Coke and Pepsi are both meaningless without whiskey. Crown royal, Jack Daniels, Evan Williams, it doesn’t discriminate.

I prefer both neat. Maybe on the rocks.

Alcohol poisoning isn’t something you should take lightly Duracell. Binge drinking can kill you, on the spot, as well as cause a lot of really nasty long term effects.

Sorry to lecture but it’s only because I care! I really hope you aren’t doing this to yourself too often.

It wasn’t binge drinking so much as it was drinking an entire 375 ml bottle of Southern Comfort in one sitting and then eating a big supper right away. Usually I only drink half a bottle – which is usually enough to get me loaded without leaving me sick or with a hangover – but this time I got carried away with myself.

You don’t have to worry about my drinking too much, though. Since my father and sister are the resident drunks around these parts, wasting money on the stuff every single day, I’ve decided to go months between drinks so I can have spending money on things which matter a helluva lot more to me (like DVDs, books, etc.).
