FUD you say? Please explain how one can permanently or even significantly delay a security update in Windows 10 Home and Professional? While one generally wants security updates, there are time when one does not. There could be something in

I had to install software (GWX) and keep it updated in order to prevent Microsoft from trying to trick me into installing Windows 10 and nagging me every 10 minutes to "upgrade". Perhaps not malware, but not a huge leap away from

Ironically, Windows 10 is probably the Microsoft OS that is going to push me full time to using Linux. Right now I use Linux for work, but home network, and laptops (except 1 Mac) all run on Windows 7/8. However the underhanded tactics

You know, I have heard this argument used a few times. If you are intelligent, you voted to remain, if you are not intelligent, you voted to leave. So blame lack of intelligence on not getting a vote you wanted, because people that disagree

I was part of the banking system for many years - it is unbelievably greedy. There is no respect for individuals, other than how much money they can make. Concepts like loyalty and service have no meaning.

At no point have I mentioned scale of change or rate of change. That is irrelevant to the point I am making: that during a warming phase, average temperatures will be the highest they have ever been at the end of the time period under consi

Great idea but a word of warning to others that might try this. If you don't want your fish to die rather horribly, please understand the Nitrogen Cycle (and at least some fish husbandry) and test for it. For example: https:/&#x2

You misunderstand me - I am not talking about man made climate change. I am saying that having data that shows current temperatures are highest ever in 1000 years is not surprising, given that temperatures have been rising for last several

No idea why this is a surprising, even controversial result. We are are on the warming side of a recent (geologically speaking) ice age (actually glacial period) and we expect long term temperatures to be trending ever upwards.

Some huge name corporations are very involved in the porn industry. Clearly, that fact is not well known.

My Logitech webcam has a built-in sliding mechanism to cover and uncover the camera lens. I doubt I would ever buy a webcam that does not have this. There should really be a blocking mechanism for laptop cameras as well.

It may not be a discussion board but of course almost every question has some degree of discussion. For example, even a specific question about how to initialize a list of lists in Python has more than 1 answer and there will be discussion

Cars (first one) was good, agree that Cars 2 was complete rubbish. I love animated movies, always have - but I could not get through Cars 2.

Interesting to note that one of the sites the article refers you to ( http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices ) to check for trackers, has quite a few trackers of its own...oh the irony...

The underhanded and manipulative approach that Microsoft have taken with Windows 10 has put me off Microsoft completely. It is important to trust your OS and OS vendor and Microsoft have slipped up badly in this regard. Now they expect me t

What has been driving me crazy, is the sheer, utter guesswork - from both sides. No one can predict the future. Both sides are making predictions and both sides are just guessing. Meanwhile the real issues are not being discussed or debated

This reminds me of that old joke: "How many Microsoft engineers does it take to replace a broken light-bulb?" The answer is "None - Microsoft simply change the standard to darkness" --------------------------------------

Arguably Caps letters are more visually distinct. From a distance lower case "e", "a", "o" can be a lot more difficult to tell apart then "E", "A" and "O". Not to mention of course
