I finally managed to get a stable looking Win 10 installation after 4 failed attempts. The trick is, if dual booting, to turn off Smart Start. Now I can boot into Win7 or Win10 and it seems to be happy.
Before that I was tearing my hair (only one) out.
Not sure if I like Win10 yet. Cortana seems to work about as well as any other speech recognition application. I.e. Doesn't understand my West Country accent. I have no use whatsoever for a 3D modelling application. Hate the tiles. Dumped them straight away. And so on. Whinge whinge whinge...
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

That's what the insulted say when they have no comeback.

That's the only reasonable comeback to insults.

There are 2 kinds of insult: the "yes I meant to call you x" and banter. The thing is, if you can't deal with either, you shouldn't be in the game.
I am not being overly serious here but if you're too stupid not to realize that...

Again only partially true. In reality a well crafted insult does 2 things: it makes a point and makes you laugh. A poorly crafted insult is just that - an insult.
Anyway, people are way too sensitive these days. You can call me anything you like as long as it's not late for dinner.

And people these days tend to think that blaming others' reaction allows them to be rude.
We all know that sticks and stones etc etc, but whatever happened to just simply being polite? Or at the very least, just not being rude?

You didn't get that was sarcasm? Ok: well; another lesson for you.
Chris: I think we need a sarcasm emoji: seems a lot of people here just don't get it.

You can use a full load of sarcasm, and still avoid some kind of words.
I would recommend you to edit your above message.
If your intention was simply do a sarcasm, it is derivating in a discussion. Which is not worth.
Sometimes is easier to do a step back and one aside than hitting a wall. Don't you think?
Additionally... I fully agree with the idea of increasing the list of emoticons, that would be helpful in other moments as well.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Nope. definitely don't agree: walls are for breaking through not avoiding.
