New York Times, today: "The First Big Company to Say It’s Serving the Legal Marijuana Trade? Microsoft." [^].
How long before we have nag-screens with shimmering moire patterns ?
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Does this mean they'll be cutting back on the harder, more mind-distorting, stuff while they're working?

Just overheard my Neighbour talking on his phone in the garden.
"I'm going to go the library tomorrow and get some books on Inventing because that's what Richard Branson did...You know Richard Branson he is the guy that invented Virgin Media...Yeah I've got an idea already you know some men dribble in their pants after going for a piss? Well I'm going to invent some Boxer Shorts with some cotton wool in the front...you know to soak it up"

Link fail.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Many years ago I (somewhat jokingly) invented 'Skiddies'. They would add soundproofing, smell absorption and stain guard facilities to your pants. The theme tune of the advert would have been sung to the tune of Skippy, the bush kangaroo or the Goodies (can't quite recall which).
Strangely, someone did come out with something similar recently.

Sounds like a good idea. Why don't you like it?

He died here*, as well.
Of a broken heart, no doubt.

I suppose all Windows 10 users got an operating system update yesterday. If you have not seen it yet, rest assured you will in the near future.
Since the update I keep getting an obscure console warning every time I start up the computer: "Me Fw Downgrade Request MeSpiLock Failed"
Great! That tells me absolutely nothing!
An hour's worth of Googling and I learnt it most probably was an issue with my display adapter driver. I have a NVidea GTX745 display adapter in a Dell XPS8900.
To cut a long story short: The solution was to roll back the driver to the previous version, restart the machine and upgrade the driver to the latest version. This seems to have cured the problem. It seems the display adapter driver must be re-installed AFTER the latest Windows updates. At least that worked on my particular setup.
By the way: Many Dell customers complained that their tech support did not have a clue how to solve the issue. For some the issue was so bad their Dells froze up on startup. Elephanting Dell and their useless tech support!
I post this here in case it may be of assistance to other Dell users.

I only install critical updates (i.e. those issued by Microsoft). Updating non-critical components is asking for trouble, IMHO.

This issue was caused by a Microsoft update! 
The underlying cause may have been caused by NVidea or Dell. Who knows?
