Yeah, not liking blue cheese because it's mold is just silly and mockable. Not liking it because it tastes bad to you is a legit opinion and no one should be shaming anyone for it.

I respect any soda that puts in the time and effort to earn a doctorate degree. You know who I don't respect? Mr. Pibb, who can can take his undergrad ass and fuck right off.

I wish Windows handled this more gracefully. I ran into one where the secondary monitor woke up first and it would cram all open windows and desktop items onto one screen every time it woke from sleep. Frustrated the user. Fix ended up being to swap the display port plugs. Hasn't been an issue since.

The entire episode devolved, with Mullin and O'Brien calling each other names not normally heard in committee hearings, but they did not get physical.

Sanders yelling at him was then followed by him sitting down while they just kept insulting each other. It's like when your dog wants to fight another dog, and it obeys your order to sit, but still won't stop barking aggressively,

Are we talking Albert Einstein at his peak, or Albert Einstein now?

Yeah, that's true, but many people will wonder "Can I still be able to access the Microsoft from a Linux?"

Let's not get crazy here. These folks would need to know that if they go to a new OS, will is still run "the Microsoft" or "the Google"?

When asked to choose between convenience and security, a lot of people will choose convenience. Staying on the computer you already have as long as it seems to work fine is very convenient. I still occasionally see computers running Windows 7 for no reason other than that the owner can't be bothered to make a change.

The big worry is that most computers running Win10 don't meet the requirements to run 11. If they drop support for 10, then a huge number of computers that are functioning just fine suddenly start becoming increasingly less safe to use and the only fix is to throw them away.

I figured it was longer, but I couldn't be bothered to research it, so I could only speak from my own memory.

You'd think so, but that's been a standard abbreviation around the Internet for at least 5 years.

It's only ever "the website formerly know as Twitter" to me.
