Now, to prove your bravery, install the evaluation copy of the pre-release of the Fall Creator's Update for Windows 10.

Yeah, 'Legends of the fall' ... hmmm not my kind of movie, made the enamel crack of my teeth

I installed the latest version of the pre-release a few days ago, and I only found one minor issue: It does not inform you when it's safe to disconnect an external USB drive. Microsoft was informed of this issue.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I'd understand the hesitation if someone was coming from Windows 7, but 8.1?
Bury that thing already.

lol I didnt even care to know what's inside Win 10, then comes the decision to move or not right?

Win10 is fine. Nothing to worry about. That is, provided you don't mind having your every keystroke, mouse click, eye movement, and voice recorded. Oh and the occasional prod to use Edge instead of {insert-browser-name-here}. 
On the other hand, you have different fingers. - Steven Wright

Not sure it will be worth it, looks like a remastering only, nothing really new. Still I've already been conquered by 10 so I will have no hesitancy in trying the new version.

It'll be a big turn off. They can't show some refreshing creativity on the game play after these many years. I wish there's something new. I like it if the depth of the game grows instead of adding more and more new civilizations. It's okay, but the details & depth on lower level would make it awesome. The real turn-on for me with AOE2 was that, there was so much to explore and plan your attacks and lot of things to grasp. I still cherish mastering those documents , may be the only product documentation that I cared to read in depth , till date. hehe

I heard this first on a local all-news AM radio station whilst driving the car: the path of the eclipse will be 2400 miles.
Later I heard/saw it again on BBC News.
Now, the big deal of it is that totality crossed the entire US; west->east. Now, at least when I was younger, the width of the USA was 3000 miles. The path of the eclipse, being a diagonal, would be even be longer.
So - we need to need to add a new term to our 2017 vocabularies. We have added "Fake News", "Alternate Facts", and we need one each for "Fact Checked by Idiots" and "We don't need to check no stinkin' facts"
Now - just imagine how much fun you can have with things that are even less easy to verify! I should have started a news media empire.

No, no you are forgetting that several of the states it would normally cross do not believe the earth is round. And in the flat earth model, eclipses cannot occur. So they don't.

Why can't eclipses occur in a flat earth model?
These are the facts:
- The moon is made of marshmellows and has been nailed in a fixed position 27.856 miles above the flat earth by an unknown but intelligent designer.
- The sun moves around the flat earth every day and the shadow of the moon will therefore also wander over the flat earth.

The moon is 3000 miles above the earth, and the sun is the same distance - they move on the inside of the Celestial Sphere on fixed tracks. As a result, the moon can never be between the sun and the earth, instead it comes so close it becomes burnt, which is why it "fades out" into a crescent each month, and has be be regrown with fresh green cheese to reach "full moon" status again.

If I'm not mistaken, those states are part of the EU.

Quote: According to Stephen Jay Gould, "there never was a period of 'flat Earth darkness' among scholars
Oh, well Stephen said it so it must be true.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

But...but...but...I (and a friend) wrote a musical whilst in High School called The World Is Flat (And That Is That) about Columbus, which depended on a widespread belief in a flat Earth.
I will not let Wikipedia ruin the premise!

That's a lunar eclipse, where the sun casts on the moon the shadow of The Great A'Tuin.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Yes.
OG didn't specify the type of eclipse in his post.
