Ah I see why some pillock down shifted your post, self promotion (book) not in your sig. Part of dealing with this bunch is that some are really anally retentive!

I can understand if that were a problem. However, they could've mentioned it and also I didn't include any link to it at all in the post. I mean I can see if I had provided a link or something maybe.
Thanks for the input.

One day a man with no arms showed up at a monastery, asking if there was any work. The monk thought for a while and asked if he could ring the bell in the tower by running into it with his head. The man with no arms thought he could manage that and started his new career.
For several days, the man happily rang the bell. Then one day he slipped, missed the bell, and fell off the tower, plunging to his death. The local constable showed up and asked the monk if he knew the man. The monk said "No, but his face rings a bell."
Same monastery, few months later. A second man with no arms shows up and says he heard the monastery had a job for a guy with no arms (and an opening). The monk explained and the man took the jobs. He also happily rang the bell for a few days before slipping and plunging to his death. The constable showed up and asked if the monk knew the man. The monk said "No, but he's a dead ringer for the last guy."

Come on now, Leslie has posted that several times, and I'm sure that it has been sent to Griff too at least a dozen times as well!

LOL!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I expected that final graph, but I expected the caption to read "leave your brats at home", but then then went the other way (or am I misinterpreting the intent?)
It's probably the cynic in me.

It's 01:30 Monday here on the East Coast of Oz, about 7 hours since I posted below of my Windows 10 Activation issues and about 7.5 - 8 hours since I had the problems.
I just went back and tried the Activation again from Settings -> Updates & Security -> Activation using Change Product Key and it just worked with no dramas.
A closer look at the message on the Activation dialog showed it was having problems accessing the Licensing Servers.
Don't know why it didn't just work first time, but at least I have installed updates and Nvidia drivers.

You just installed Windows 10, the drama has yet to begin!

I don't know what I did wrong, but Windows 10 just worked on every machine on which I installed it. (Well, at least thus far )

Tomorrow I will image it with my Acronis True Image 2015 ISO on USB. Once all installed I will have it continually imaging to NAS using Acronis True Image 2016. Incrementally and consolidating every 30 days.

Because I just finished Farcry Primal.
Started playing it two weeks ago, spent 42 hours, and I've finished it at 100%, including all trophies and a full backpack.
Ah well, I guess I'll be having time again for important stuff now 
|
|
|
|

Does that include the DLC[^]?
I haven't tried Primal - I enjoyed the first Far Cry, but the second turned me right off the series when enemies respawned all the damn time!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I do have the collectors edition, but I didn't realize that was DLC.
What a crappy DLC that was, worst 45 minutes of the game

Well, I'm about to install Visual Studio on my restored win7 install. Is there anything about vs15 (community edition) I should know about? Should I bother installing VS2013 "just in case"?

Be warned - the install takes for bloody ever...
I've twice installed it and twice uninstalled it (and, btw, uninstalling takes just as long...) - and am sticking to 2012 for now. It's ok, I guess, I just don't like the way it seems to push you towards the cloud all the time. Once it wouldn't even load because it said it couldn't connect to my Microsoft account... even though that resolved itself in the end, that was the final straw for me.

My caveat is that uninstalling it can be impossible.
I had it on a VM which would not run the uninstall at all. It would just blink away when you tried to uninstall. I needed diskspace so I finally just brute-force deleted it.
At the time I Googled for answers about it and this problem of uninstalling is more prevalent and more painful than I'd ever expected.
