That would of course be an infinity of infinity symbols.

But they must be invisible (dark matter?)

Come to think of it, ellipsis dots are not invisible (except for these: of course).

Do you know which continent has the most living tigers?
Depressingly, it's North America with estimates ranging from 2 to 4 times as many captive tigers in the US as still live in the wild where they should...

That is both surprising and sad.

Why? Are you trying to determine its air speed?
|
|
|

That's a trick question!
There are no African Tigers, so it's unladen airspeed is immaterial.
Over the bridge you go!

I think it's hilarious that Microsoft wants me to "reserve" my upgrade to Windows 10.
Are they afraid they are going to run out of upgrades?  
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

|
|
No. They just afraid they run out of support staff for all the people upgrading

It's the oldest trick in the world: Boosting sales by suggesting urgency and a limited supply.
"Now, for a limited time only..."
How can there still be people who fall for something like this?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Last two in stock, one for you, the other for me.

No need.
The advertisers are obviously incompetent because they tell me that the supply is inadequate.
The logistics dept is incompetent because they allowed the situation to be equally bad everywhere at the same time.
Production is incompetent because they were not able to prevent the shortage in the first place.
Management thinks that incompetence is some kind of privilege only reserved for themselves.
How good do you expect their engineers to be?

I think it was just a bad choice of word. "Request" or "Receive" or "I'll take it" would have been just as good, easy to understand why they need to do it though.

Good thing is that we (perhaps, me and others in the India locale) won't have to worry about the stock at all. Microsoft would provide a discount for us to purchase it, because almost 90% of systems use KMS!

Maybe they'll start the download upgrade for reserved 1 day before ?
I'd rather be phishing!

Speaking of the upgrade, I hope it will have the option for a clean install. For now, I'm ignoring the reservation nonsense.

From what I understand, you have to upgrade first, register and then do a clean install. I'm planning on using this as an excuse to get an SSD, so using this method will work just fine since I'll be doing a reinstall anyway.

The most obvious reason it that it tells Microsoft you want it automatically downloaded.
I suspect another reason is that so Microsoft can figure out how much bandwidth is needed and how to best balance it.

Quite obvious ways to create a three-bar menu, but, personally I prefer the Unicode one. It works like a charm in Windows Presentation Foundation.
<TextBlock FontSize="26" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0, -4, 5, 0" Width="23" Cursor="Hand">☰</TextBlock>
*Above code is from my own under development application.

I like the trick, but I still don't like the "three bar menu".
