Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

So, they've improved it?
I thought HTML help was completely broken in Edge, since day one?

Every time I try to use edge, it just pisses me off. I can't wait until the next mandatory OS update that won't run Chrome... you'll find me in the padded room.

I can do that. I'm just so busy with real work - what are you suggesting? A shift (careful typing that), to linux completely then use Wine? Or perhaps Linux and run Windows in a VM for the development activities?

New Zealand rocket launch[^]
Great opportunity for the country since there's no one here and air traffic is very low compared to the northern hemisphere. Will be able launch anytime.

Does he? I thought he just posted once a year flaming Maunder for not being able to find time for them to have a few beers despite them being in the same city for a few days.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In NZ the people are called Kiwi's after the bird of the same name; which btw is a flightless bird.
It is said, "a Kiwi usually only comes out at night, during which it eats, roots and leaves."
(Those not from NZ, Aus or UK may want to check the urban dictionary on that second item.)

Well, Kiwi's do it with each other,
but Aussies do it with wombats??? Sick man.
Sure, I can see the intellectual compatibility but the physical attraction baffles me. How do the wombats give their consent? For sure it's nothing I'd be proud of and spread around the net.

Windows 10s annoys in many ways but yesterday it really outdid itself. First a little background - I have an MSI laptop made for gaming with a 970M video chip in it and I can play my favorite game on it very nicely. I have it configured to go to sleep when I close the lid. The night before I had closed the lid and it went to sleep as usual. I watched all the lights go out before I left the room. The next morning I looked at it again and all lights were off so it was still asleep. That evening I arrived home from work and saw the lid closed but the power light was on and and the disc access light was blinking. My first thought was WTF??? I opened the lid and found it powered on and the surface surrounding the keyboard was too hot to touch. I was absolutely infuriated and scared the dogs with my opinions off the people in Redmond. The machine had awakened itself, performed an update, and then left itself on, all with the lid closed and while it was asleep. I find this to be unbelievable. I have had laptops for over twenty years and I have never had one do anything even remotely resembling this. This laptop can run very hot and it could be potentially dangerous for it to get so hot with the lid closed. I was fortunate that it didn't burn itself up. I consider this event to be a valuable lesson learned. I do NOT trust windows 10 and I will never allow this machine to sleep again. From now on it will be full power offs for this machine.
I won't get started on what I think of W10's user interface.
