I learned that lesson years ago: now the tree is wired to the stair banister and goes nowhere!

Looks like:
int tree_height = 10;
while( true ) {
tree_height++; }

Whether it's your taste or not, there is no discussion about her being one of the greatest artists ever.

No regrets...
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Burning the candle at both ends, and no regrets...
That was her.

I agree with your opinion on Adele.
My list on female singers would look a bit different, but there are a few intersections.
|
|
|
|
|
Right,
Had to think a bit, but here's my list:
Amy Winehouse, Pat Benatar, Nena, Kim Wilde, Stevie Nicks (annoyingly), Suzi Quatro and Joan Jett.
I guess my list is as revealing of my age as yours.

Amy was a bit too much "Hype" for me to actually listen to - I may have to relent...
"Love is a battlefield"
"99 Luftballons" / "99 Red balloons"
"Kids in America"
"The chain" (Purely for the F1 theme part, you can hardly hear her voice)
Suzi Q! Heck I saw here live when I was in Uni!
"I love Rock and Roll"
Some good voices on your list - The music on my youth! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I know what you mean with hype. But sometimes the hype is reasonable.
She's not really my cup of tea, but there was never any doubt about her voice and singing abilities being among the very best.
Well, in the beginning of her career at least. 
Forgot Anastacia and Marie Fredriksson in my list btw.

I sidegraded to Win 10. <edit>From Win 7</edit>
No serious side effects so far. Had one Web.Config messed up. 
Seems quite a bit more responsive.
First contact with Edge. Seriously the fastest browser I've used, but otherwise it's a WTF experience. It's simply an unfinished product.
|
|
|
|
|
I think Edge is only quick because of everything they left out...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

And that's a good thing

Long time ago in a galaxy far far away a browser called Google Chrome gained followers with this promise...
|
|
|
|
|
When 'Edge' will be a browser we may compare its performances to others...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Once I got used to 10 and Edge, I liked them both. But I have always been a little weird!
How do we preserve the wisdom men will need,
when their violent passions are spent?

OK, my OCD has been aroused. I've seen "duct" tape too often lately. The original word is "duck" tape, because water slides off of it.

Possibly, but it is a quote from a penguin...

Actually it is Duct Tape, which is a product usually sold in hardware stores, used to facilitate the sealing of air duct parts (as seen in Terry Gilliam's movie Brazil).
|
|
|
|
|
And, I heard that you should never use it on ducts, especially, heating ducts.
|
|
|

Google "Duck Tape" and this is the first link:
Duck Brand® Duct Tape - Strong, Sticky & Waterproof
You are conflating the original "duct" tape name with the product
Duck Tape that uses the similarity in sound to establish a brand
identity. In the military we called the OD green version "100 mile
an hour tape" because it repaired canvas and stood up to wind but the
original use was sealing ducts in heating-ventilation air-conditioning
systems.
My OCD sees your OCD and raises you CDO... in alphabetical order, because
that is how it must be.

Something new I thought I knew but didn't. Thanks. I'll have to come up with other excuses for my behavior.

I took the plunge and installed Windows 10 as well, mostly because I'm the techy guy in my little group and the others will install it anyway so I figured I'd better get out ahead of it.
If you're worried about the spying like I was, this 'Destroy Windows 10 Spying' [^]utility works pretty good. It's mostly firewall rules and re-routing IP addresses in the HOSTS file...it gets updated frequently...wouldn't surprise me if Google or Apple was financing it
Windows 10 is working fine with all my programs and hardware. I never much cared about the Start menu (I use shortcuts on my desktop for everything) but the new one with the tiles looks pretty neat. I haven't used Cortana and have no plans to...I gave up on the idea of talking to computers back in the 90's with my SoundBlaster card's voice commands...I find talking to computers very wearing.
