Well, yes: it could have been a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle that Satan rode into Win 10 on, but I think it more likely that a cosmic-ray was used for matters of fuel efficiency, given the almost infinite amount of energy required to keep Hell going.

I'm here to commiserate and to share my tale of woe. It started 2 days ago when I let windows update perform some black magic on IE11. It caused IE to respond much more slowly and disabled the Google toolbar. I found the update in the the WU history, uninstalled it, restarted the computer, listened to it 'cough and wheeze' a few times before it informed me that it could not start windows. To keep this short, the update did not create a 'restore point so this option was out. My windows recovery disk was ineffective so this option too was out. My Acronis recovery disk complained that every one of my image backups was corrupted so this option was out (i.e. my fault as the recovery disk was created using an earlier version of Acronis and I only now realized I had forgotten to create a new one). Anyways, the past two days have been rather 'leisurely' as I ran one setup program after another. I'm back up and running as of a few hours ago. WU is again telling me it has a critical IE update that I must install...

Workaround. Re-execute the ssoadm import-svc-cfg command until it succeeds.
... If the workaround fails, reboot the server and retry.

[Stolen from elsewhere, I am not nor have I ever been a Tory]
Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front garden, my neighbours stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their 12 year old daughter what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be Prime Minister one day. Both of her parents –Labour Party voters — were standing there, so I asked her: "If you were Prime Minister what would be the first thing you would do?" She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed with pride! Wow, what a worthy goal!" I said. "But you don't have to wait until you're Prime Minister to do that!" I told her. "What do you mean?" she replied.
So I told her: "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, trim my hedge and I'll pay you £50. Then you can go down to the Town Centre, find a homeless man and can give him the £50 to buy food."
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless man come over and do the work and you can just pay him the £50?”
I said, "Welcome to the Conservative Party!"
Her parents aren't speaking to me anymore.

Well.. some people are struggling to get a job....
Does the conservative party creates job?
The "trickle down" theory, seemingly favored by the conservative party, is an utter failure in that regard....

Alright then, haha!!
I didn't want to be so forceful!
I like to be in the middle, really. except down with the rich and powerful. Which the conservative party seems to favor over the common man.... Dunno why people buy that!?

My MkII will be talking through a problem and say things like "2 divided by 6 is 3..." I correct her saying it's a third but we're both wrong as she wants "divided into"...

Did you know that 67% of given statistics are on the sport bullshit?
Sounds like one of those! ( too! )

No, they can't.

Some 20 odd years ago, I was at a BCS symposium discussing AI. One of the speakers presented a piece about mistakes they were making with early versions of what today we know as Machine Learning. One that stuck with me was an image recognition system.
They trained it with known photos and then fed in new ones to be identified. It was complicated because it often needed to transform the images, rotating, tilting, enlarging etc. Then they noticed a rather odd phenomena, when there was no input, it started to go randomly through the images it knew. The machine was dreaming. Sentience! It's alive! Skyn...
Not so fast. It was doing what it had been told to do. Take the input [just a blank image] and find the known image it resembled most closely.

In Opera, you used to be able to select single words in links using the same click and drag that you use for non-link words.
e.g. if you wanted the word "Beany" from the link Top Beanie Baby Sites - Top20Sites.com[^], you just clicked and dragged, to select it.
From what I can find, that functionality has gone from being rare to being extinct.
I hate it when stuff that is actually useful disappears.
