Really? You cannot be serious.

“They asked me to promote them, but I didn’t offer. So I’m not actually promoting them.”

Your entire argument is completely irrelevant. And promoting both candidates (like hell that would actually happen, but sure, buddy, we’ll give you the benefit of the non-existent doubt), that’s literally claiming two wrongs make a right. Which, they don’t. At all.

And nice job copy/pasting the wrong name; totally didn’t make any of us think you’re working a script here. Not at all. (Whatever they’re paying you, they’re getting ripped off)

I’m delivering papers, wee hours in the morning, middle of winter. Just had a storm recently, so roads were rather icy. Go to cross the street when my dog starts acting all weird, won’t let me cross. Just as I’m getting frustrated, suddenly a pickup truck comes barreling around the corner. Driver immediately loses control on the ice, truck goes into a sideways slide at a pretty high speed.

That truck missed me by maybe a foot at most.

The keyword here is “Primary”; in a Primary election, you are running against one or more candidates from your own party, and if you win, your name goes onto the General ballot.

No. The lack of buttons annoys the hell out of me. Lose your remote? Oops, no TV for you. And frankly, I despise any product that emphasizes something completely superficial like looks over functionality. I pity the empty, vapid existence of people who actually get excited about such ridiculous design issues.

Personally, I’m very bitter about the completely awful effects of Reagan’s tenure. Literally turned the office into a Hollywood act; you know damn well he wasn’t calling the shots. He was there to draw people’s attention.

Lol, I very nearly ate the onion on this one! Sadly, this guy is so stupid, I’m really not that ashamed of having to check myself…

“This strike is preventing my company from having a future”

Umm. Yes. Yes it is. That’s the entire point you complete idiot.

Umm, no. Just…yeah, no.

The main problem with this theory is that Microsoft is absolutely abysmal at user end security, and they always have been. Frankly, they do not understand the issue.

But, more to the point, the whole TPM/secure boot stuff is a compromise; originally (I think this was about the time of Vista), they partnered with OEMs to have them include a DRM chip that made it literally impossible to install any non-windows OS on your laptop. They’ve managed to still get an implementation of TPM that makes switching your OS too confusing/difficult for the average user.

Anyway, bottom line is they only care about money, and they neither care or even understand the security needs of the end user.

I live in an area that is well known for low cost of living. And you’re wrong. Rent is still egregiously high compared to wages. The problem doesn’t just magically disappear when you’re not looking. Sheesh

Honestly such a weak argument. Having helped my uncircumcised son learn to keep himself clean, I can probably say this myth needs to be laid to rest already. It’s just not true.
