I get it, there is an important event, that makes me unable to do my job for 3 hours.

But when it happens 3 times in 2 days, it drives me insane.

“If you want to see change, you need to incentivize change. For example, if you want to see Microsoft have a heart attack, talk about the idea of defining legal liability for bad code in a commercial product. If you want to give Facebook nightmares, talk about the idea of making it legally liable for any and all leaks of our personal records that a jury can be persuaded were unnecessarily collected. Imagine how quickly Mark Zuckerberg would start smashing the delete key.”

I truly hate how sheepish can my mom get.

She outright told me a line so dumb, only a marketing department could repeat it.

I was asking her on advice of how to choose an apartment, and she said "people should spend 1/3 of their paycheck on the rent"...

She is crazy. :blob_facepalm:

@Shadowman311 this is actually a good development. A president/prime minister saying "vaxxes are not mandatory, take at your own risk" is a massive win. I wonder if he's now next on Big Pharma hit list, like the 5 previous ones

Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services?

That sounds preposterous to me.

If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.

Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Vista, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.

Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.

I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

Free will is a myth, religion is a joke.
We are all pawns, controlled by something greater.
Memes, the DNA of the soul.
They Shape our will. They are our culture -- They are everything we pass on.
Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate.
They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair... All memes. All Passed along.
