This is an old one.
It will go up the chimney down or down the chimney down, but not up the chimney up or down the chimney up.
Am I right, or am I right?

With a drug free centre we were attracted to the negative, but Oh! How we sparkled! (11)
CORUSCATION
Anyone want to give the solution? I'm up again tomorrow, so it's safe now...

COR - core (centre) with E (drug) removed
US - we
CATION - an ion with a positive charge, thus attracted to negative
CORUSCATION - to sparkle or glitter.
Easy when you see it!

Is the correct answer!
Now, why didn't you see that half an hour ago, and save me a job tomorrow?

To be fair, once I saw Cation, the answer was pretty obvious but I didn't want to do the CCC tomorrow.

Maybe, maybe not - where's the fun in doing simple one?
But I liked this one, it's one of my favourite words - onomatopoeic but difficult to use in normal conversation.

Doing an update now and I get a warning that says Microsoft recommends I do not install the update because I have some older media files that may not play anymore.
Why are so many of you doing your updates wrong? 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

No significant/important updates for w7 for months, unless you want the added spyware. (Unlike 10, 7's not broken anymore.)

I agree. Win10 is perfect.

You really should get yourself familiar with this[^]. Filtering just to include "Windows 7 x64 with SP1" and sorting by importance, I just had to go through 9 pages of security bulletins rated "critical" before hitting the first "important" one.

I have to disagree. In our household 10 has been stable for a long time. I will NEVER go back to 7.

Has it also stopped to hurt our eyes with its appearance? I will NEVER upgrade to Fisher Price UI (C)(TM)(R)

It looks the same as my win 7 did.

Great. That would only leave the minor issues of Mickeysoft feeling entitled to install spyware whenever they feel like it and generally feeling right at home, using my resources as they wish and telling me to buzz off when they have other plans with my computer. And I can't even switch off all these goodies.
What would you do if the manufacturer of your car behaved like that? Or the constructor of your house? In Texas I would prepare for their arrival (*)
(*) I would only load rocksalt, because letting them scream only once is just silly.

Do you work for Mickeysoft or have they begun brainwashing people?
Since when has it become acceptable in any world (as far as I am informed we still have only one, the rest is just smoke and mirrors) to behave like that?

Apple has always done it.

Curious, what behavior exactly are you so upset about?

That may be the reason why I never was interested in anything Apple made after the Apple II.
How they behave? Just like Apple. They Gather information as they please, use my resources as they please (the update to Win10 would have cost me the bandwith for an entire month) and they tell me to buzz off when they feel like it. And what am I supposed to do when my notebook is busy updating for a few hours and I need it for an appointment?
Perhaps Mickeysoft wants to be just like Apple, but they will see that they get the kind of customers they deserve for that.

What information of yours have they gathered?

Are they mining bitcoins on your machine? Or processing camera feeds for the NSA?

Buy a faster notebook? 
I hadn't played Angry Birds on my tablet for a while and once when I opened it I could not play it until I updated it. How dare they.
