Yeah, I got it last week, but of course knew to clear those checkboxes.
The problem is that each new Java update kills my ability to use Oracle's Discoverer product until it catches up to the Java version (months).

I wonder if something like that is why the Java pushes here are so infrequent and often out of date by the time they arrive. 
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?

Thanks for reminding me of a good album from In Flames, haven't heard it for too long.
EDIT: Yes I hate that too, I remember the first time it came along with the installation, I had the same problems as I didn't notice that it was checked by default. Never making the same mistake again.

That toolbar has been there for a long time, and comes by on each "update". I think they push empty updates to pleasure marketing.
Java is the problem.

I think you've confused marketing with sales. It's the sales weasels who're getting a bonus based on the amount of ask.com malware installs they achieve; from marketing's point of view though every security related java update (ie all of them) is bad press and something to be avoided. (Which si probably how it got so bad in the first place.)

Here is a little bit of hand wringing over HaloLens: Bwwwwaaaa...[^]
I hate to rough up a writer like this but isn't this just a cut and paste of articles expressing concern over the advent of the instant messaging, online games, cell phones, T.V., 'talkie pictures', radio, the invention of the wheel and man's use of fire?
It is the same exact nonsense we had to read through all of those inventions.
Yeah, it will get abused.
Yeah, some kid in South Korea will be on it for 4 days straight and die.
Yeah, it will be used for good things.
Yeah, it will eventually become so inundated with adware that I'll turn it off and read a book.
Same 'ole, same 'ole.

«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

You have already been in training for this environment where all the edges of your view are filled with crap, you watch sports don't you. Does not your TV station have it's logo on the top right, your news feed has 1 or more marquee feeds tracking across the bottom.
Anyone who uses a TV, and the interweb more so, is being trained to use multiple input data streams.
A book does sound better.

Benchmark.

Can you explain it to me (I can't see it even now) 
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I had that as possible solution. But could not get bench from substitute:
substitute: ?
stain: mark
standard: benchmark

When you substitute a player during a match, this is sometimes referred to benching the player.

Thank you Pete.
CCCs are much harder for non native English speakers.
|
|
|
|
|
They can be hard for native English speakers as well. I didn't get this one.
|
|
|
|
|
In sport if you substitute someone you 'bench' them.
|
|
|
|
|
Nice one. But it'll be hard to bench you if you keep them at this level.
Life is too shor

Good one! I didn't even get close.
Looking forward to your effort tomorrow, if it's that standard!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That's a folder, not a box. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

You are right. Is this folder ok for dev? Tools would be mostly Microsoft, Visual Studio, SQL server, etc.

I used to use a laptop to do development but it was always way too slow. It was likely the slower hard drives but I would imagine if you get a fast enough laptop, it could work just fine.

I've been using Laptops for the last several years. It is relatively slow. This one has 16G ram. I wish it can have more. But from Dell site, I did not see an option for more.
