yes, Soapbox and Lounge do look the same,
but posting messages in the appropriate forum is still appreciated.

I was torn between them - on the Soapbox most posts become crazy because they are in the Soapbox. I honestly hope that putting the post in the Lounge will keep it polite and light-hearted.

So you are trying to say that I am uncontroversial? That why you posted a pic of me huh???

What's wrong with putting this in the Lounge?

Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.

We all have some style that we like. I have a bunch of them - I'm just too lazy/unconcerned to actually work for them but honestly I do like Keith Flint bright double mohawk and I did at some point like Eminem bleached hair. I still like James Hetfield beard and moustaches (but my wife will kill me if I ever attempt them).

My wife bullies me too. The only person you mentioned, that I recognize is Eminem. I guess I am really out of touch. 
I hate watching my body fall apart around me as I age.

The parrot is not dead. It is resting!

Hi All,
Having to set com0com for some testing using Powershell, it's basically Bash for M$, gives proper access to previous commands like Doskey with all the bits turned on...
Is it included in Win10... I just can't see where it comes from...
Anyone any clues...

Right Click the Start Menu and there it is.
Or
Click the Start Menu and scroll down to Windows PowerShell.

Or Meta + x
Or Meta + r then type "powershell"
Or Meta then type "powershell"
It's not even slightly hidden, but I think it's a little hysterical that you're kvetching about GUI mechanisms to access the CLI, when CLI approaches work better.

I wonder for a while they tried to kill the DOS prompt and failed is power shell the sorry, or just a 'new' product.

PS is hardly "new", it incorporates cmd, and is infinitely better from an SA standpoint, AKA the people that actually use the CLI in Windows. Your issue is what, exactly?

50% legacy
50% *nix hackers (and that's why the legacy percentage is so high)
The higher education in software technology has been touting Windows as a toy OS for 30 years, and they still do. Real Developers Use Linux. And Linux tools.
The main reason why Linux hasn't taken over completely is that those amateurs using Windows are unwilling to learn anything new; they simply are not intellectuall capable to handle the list of gcc options, the regex syntax of find etc. They just won't learn anything new! Look at this primitive cmd.exe - bash was a thousand times more advanced than that the day Windows was born! (Are you really trying to argue that Windows was born before bash?? That's exactly the kind of false claims you can make the Windows congregation believe in!)
So there is a socalled "advanced" shell for Windows ... Blah! Can it run bash scipts? No! So how can it be "advanced", when it cannot run decent scripts? If you are asking me to spend resources to some silly Microsoft-thing that is nothing more than a simple patch-up of that DOS-toy-shell, then just forget it! I cannot spend time on learning anthing as useless as a non-Linux tool, when my Linux tools can do the job!
... Maybe I am exaggregating a little - but just a little. Our company policy is that desktop PCs run Windows; we have build and test machines running Linux, that you can remote in to, for the part of our work that is Linux based. We are establishing a Docker environment for Linux flavor containers nowadays; the Windows Docker engine may build and run Linux flavor docker images perfectly well. But that cannot be used by those Linux Real Programmers: It turns out that they have installed virtualization techniology on their desktops for the sole purpose of running Linux utilities in a Linux environment - utilities that have perfectly fine parallels in the Windows environment, with company support. Then they would have to learn a utility that they never saw in their studies, and learning something new that is outside Linux is a waste of resources.
They spent so much time to make this open-source virtualization run under that silly Windows, that they don't have time for more. And that open-source VM competes with the Microsoft Hyper-V for certain system resources, and Hyper-V is required for the desktop Docker installation. We are sorry about that. We simply cannot use Windows Docker on our desktops, without giving up our beloved Linux utilities.
But hey, we can run a Linux Docker engine on that VM we have installed to run those Linux utilities - then we can run Docker on the desktop!
... and so, rather than learning Windows utilities, including PowerShell, and updating the scripts to PS, they move the whole thing over to that VM so they can use Linux bash instead, during their daily work. For Python projects, that is more or less doable. The "official", company supported setup is still Windows, but since cmd.exe is so primitive, it is better to "secretly" use bash on VM under Windows than learning to use non-primitive MS tools. After all, Windows is just for kids, so why care?
