As if I'm going to re-watch that giant pile of crap of a movie.
I can't say I'm particularly impressed with Discovery's Klingons either.

Klingons are made in factories and all comply to the standards. Give them a chance.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

All I'm saying is that the difference in looks between the TOS Klingons and the movie era ones was brought up in a DS9 episode, and Enterprise even tried to address it directly in a couple of episodes.
The new guys in charge seem to be happy to just throw everything away without any second thought. It's a big universe - why even call them Klingons?

We have quite a sortiment of different appearances and cultures on our small planet. What do you think will happen when someone colonizes as many planets as they can get? There is plenty of room for different factions of Klingons (or anyone else) without going against the established story. That's quite ok if the story makes sense, so let's just wait and see what they try to sell us.

I realize that...but we had to wait until Voyager to get introduced to a black Vulcan. That's about all I can think of. Any other example?
Otherwise, all Trek series have pretty much established what Klingons look like, Romulans, Andorians, Cardassians, etc, and they've never pretended any of them should look any different--heck, they all wear the same clothes and uniforms. Rather pragmatic of the producers if you ask me--it's all a question of budget, and I understand that. So why change that, now that we've had decades of seeing Klingons, when they had plenty of chances to do it already?
But, meh. I probably should care less about that (and that is the correct use of the expression in this case)...

Still need to see some Ferengi women I guess...

Seeing Quark's mom once was enough.
Seeing any Star Trek episode that was played out as a comedy centered around the Ferengi once was also enough.

So, it's a rainy weekend, my ankle is sore, time to just piddle. Dug out an oldish system I built for Linux years ago, update it to the latest Ubuntu. 
I have never seen so many issues resolved with magic, cryptic commands. Gave up on the 64 bit install - never would complete. Tried the 32 bit, turning off features got it to install. Firefox == instant crash, random segmentation faults.
I decided to check my network address - sorry, that command needs to be installed. Sigh. I then realized I had been spoiled by full Unix implementations - Solaris, HPUX, etc. I'm just stunned listening to the Linux fanboys rant against Microsoft.

My experience with Linux could perhaps best be summarized as, when it works, it just works, and when it doesn't work, you might as well forget about the whole thing.

I have no real experience with Linux, but I was pretty impressed, when I tried it first time (mint  ) and wine. All our win apps ran perfect, including more or less complex graphics which I did not expect...

You can build a custom kernel with linux and reduce its install size to the point it actually IS embeddable, unlike the laughable Windows 10 IoT embedded, which can only be embedded in something the size of a shipping container.
That is its benefit. If you want a home system where you dont have to think for yourself,
then windows is good. If you are an engineer, you might be able to handle linux.

You have that just right (working with CE now WEC7). Next up? Something Unix embedded? No one knows.

Linux is very user friendly, it’s just very choosy about who it considers its friends.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

You finish up a project, set up Jenkins and SonarQube and SonarQube finds no issues with your code at all.
I've been doing a couple of projects like that now.
My team lead recently asked the team "Do you guys ever check out SonarQube for issues?"
And I was like "I have to confess I don't check it out all that often."
And all he said was "Your code has no issues anyway, I was talking to the rest of the team."
Feels good man
I still think SonarQube is a great tool and the times I do check it I always learn something new.
For those who don't know it, SonarQube is a code analyzer that checks your code for issues and gives advice on how to fix it (for example use === instead of == in JavaScript, don't make functions too long, don't nest too much if's/whiles, etc.). It has 100's, maybe 1000's of (optional) rules for pretty much every language you can think of.
I can really recommended it

So I am now running the pre-release evaluation version of the 2017 Fall Creator's Update of Windows 10, and everything seems just dandy (so far). I notice some nice features in Edge, like the ability to "set aside" tabs for quick recall later. I did not see this in the old Edge.
Are there any other brave souls out there in the same boat?

Sounds like you're using...

I'll get my coat.

Does Chrome still work? I was reading that only fully validated applications (through the store) would be allowed onto Windows 10 FCUW10.

I never used Chrome and don't plan to do so anytime soon. Edge gives me all I require from a browser.
Edit:
All apps on my machine, whether from the Store or Microsoft or not, still work 100%

Google Chrome won't be allowed on Windows 10 S | ZDNet[^]
is what I was referring too... but I guess that's not the same as Creator Update.
