two things come to mind when I see this.
First, How much time did he spend getting this put together to get $300? I would say at least 6 hours so probably spent $50 an hour. my question is that worth it? It might be it might not be.
Second, Why? you want linux just install it and move on and ignore microsoft. looking thru the fine print on the legalize might be fun for someone, but really it would make me tense just thinking about it. I have better things to do, like playing a game with my children or what not. Heck even cleaning the bathroom is a better use of my time than reading that thing.
All in all. I fail to see the point. I run alot of linux and some winders. oh well. Just me I guess.

I build my own desktops from components I buy from NewEgg (or some other such places). I'll buy a Windows license on ebay (cheap). My main OS is Linux these days but, I do dual boot with Win 10 just so I can play games. Basically, my real work/computing is done in Linux and Windows 10 is my XBox.

Games are my last reasons to keep Win7 alive, but not reason enough to endure Win10.

This reminds me of a Drinking buddy who suggested that we setup a company...
Whereby whenever you have to install software and click "OK" to the license agreement,
we provide someone REMOTELY to click okay, that CANNOT pass a mental sufficiency test, and thereby nullifying the agreement.
We laughed, We drank... Then we realized. "Who exactly would let a mentally deficient person remotely access their system?"... In a Dilbert Cartoon... We would be billionaires! But alas, we simply laughed that we could find people/companies, and that people would probably pay just to piss off the big guys...

I searched lounge messages for "artificial intelligence" but am actually just getting random results (even today's messages about "How to use source control" & "DARKNESS") 
|
|

|

Not random: Marc Clifton for example has "artificial intelligence" in his signature, so that's probably why they come up.

Ok this kind of makes sense, but why would the message with subject "Wednesday" just below also appear when the search string is "artificial intelligence"? still

Because Marc Clifton wrote the message, so "artificial intelligence" appears in it? Click on it, and you'll see.

Looking for stuff in the signature has been one of my favorite ways to search for messages from specific users.

Ok, so the message posted by Tomz_KV with subject "Wednesday" is appearing because Marc Clifton with string "artificial intelligence" in his signature replied to it!! Right?

How to use source control
18 Apr 2018 by Marc Clifton
NOT. 1. Check out the dev branch. 2. Start working on a new feature 3. You're asked to fix a bug on the same project not related to the feature you're adding. 4. Manually copy the code to somewhere else that you've been working on for the new f

This is dumb.
Signatures should not be part of a post body and should not be searchable.
I'd rather be phishing!

That was my thought too, but this doesn't look like its the case

How else do you expect me to find the posts I'm looking for then?

I don't.
I just roll the dice with Leslie, and hope for the best.

Good, that's a recommended best practice.

I don't much. I usually bookmark worthy threads for later use. I just checked my bookmarks & noticed that 1026 posts there
|
|
|
|
|
So, how do you search your bookmarks?
|
|
|
|
|
Using 'Just My Stuff' & 'My Bookmarks' check-boxes in Search[^]
|
|
|

I've never seen those checkboxes. Thanks for the heads up!

I have used those checkboxes for QA section to answer so many questions(repeated ones particularly) in past.

That's because an AI posted those. It wasn't me! Really!!!!

try entering
title:"artificial intelligence" . This will search for messages with the title (subject) with the phase "artificial intelligence" in it.

I would say this gives me better results, thanks.

Are there anymore helpful hints of that kind?
I'm asking for a friend.
