I just sent this to a certain business. They emailed me, and said they'd be calling me shortly. The number I gave was 123-456-9876, so I doubt it:
This is why I gave a fake number. I actually have a junk mailbox I usually
use for signing up for things like this.
It's silly to make someone give up contact info just to see classes and
pricing. That way they can get hit with spam until the end of time.
Now that I've been spammed there's no way I'll consider going to this for
certification/classes unless it is somehow the last place left in the
world where it's possible.
I value my privacy. Don't call us, we'll call you.

But you could make millions from a sick billionaire widow from Asia who wants to do a last good deed!
Or of course from your rich uncle from Bolivia who passed away and named you as his sole heir!
How are these kind people going to reach you now?
Think of all the opportunities you'll miss, you privacy-valueing fool!

Now I will go in search of that widow from my continent.

See the line that says "Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages"? I love that feature. Probably reveals my age.

I never knew and never saw! 
It's cool though!
Mm.. you must be very young to have such a superior vision! ^_^

Windows 10 Annoyance OTD:
In Edge, there's too much space in between menu items. Anyone knows how to reduce that?

Don't use Windows 10?
(Sorry, that was too much temptation to resist  )
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use Chrome?

Too much space? Really? What difference does it make? Is anybody's life at risk? Will the economy collapse? Is it a hidden cause of global warming?

Get a monitor with a higher pixel density. 
One of my personal pet peeves with Windows 10 goes the other way--it seems that Microsoft has declared war on resizable window borders. Not that you can't resize anything, just that the border width for most windows is a single pixel, which makes them more difficult to grab/resize than ever.
|
|
|
|
|
|
How so? If this was intended to be "tablet-friendly", the borders would be bigger (making them easier to grab), not the other way around.
|
|
|
|
|
I was thinking tablet-friendly in the sense that there are practically no borders and you get the maximum viewing area.
|
|
|
|
|
For Metro Modern Universal apps, yeah, perhaps that makes sense, but these are your everyday desktop apps. Notepad, Explorer, the command prompt, PowerShell windows...etc, etc.
Besides, even Universal apps run in windows on 10, unless you explicitly switch into tablet mode. So the nearly-invisible window borders don't make sense to me.

No problems with the installation. Didn't take long either. Less than an hour.

I went from W7 to W10 and am pleasantly surprised. The layout is much closer to 7 than 8.
I am noticing a little lower performance, however. Primarily opening applications.

My upgrade took over four hours, and I lost count of the number of restarts. It does seem stable but slower.

My brother-in-law had the same problem. He has an older laptop. Mine is over a year old, but and went surprisingly fast. Having 64 GB of RAM must have helped.

Mine is pretty old - six years or so. I've only got 4GB of RAM in it, which is unfortunately the maximum.
