Hey, where's Windows 8 screen I've heard so much about?
|
|
|
|
|
Where is the "upgrade back to Windows 7" button?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

That is expected to arrive with SP 23; to be replaced in SP 37 with "Upgrade to WinXP"

I read on slashdot how a CME just missed wreaking havoc to us earthlings a couple of years ago; which brings up a question, to wit:
Is it so that a superpower employed by Cyclops (of the X-Men) could be called a CME (Corneal Mass Ejection)?

Nah, that would be a CEE... Corneal Energy Emission. Just remember, if he can SEE you, he can CEE you.

Can I download it? 
|

If the download breaks you're in trouble! 
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Of course Windows 9?? exists. Windows 95, Windows 98 to name a couple.
Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one.

Reality what a concept!

Will you please throw Colborne out of one of them?

But if the window doesn't exist, can you still be thrown out of it?

Colbourne is a figment of his own imagination so why not?

Now, there's a rep score you don't see often! 
I'd assumed he was committed / sectioned a couple of years back, but the graph says he is still logging in!

It looks like someone did. Or perhaps he autodefenestrated?

I've been doing this computing lark for quite a long time and still like to get my hands dirty crafting beautifully manicured code.
What I don't do, nor do I recall ever having to do, is create a custom sort algorithm. I don't think I could without looking it up; oh, I know what many of them are called and recall, vaguely, the workings but I doubt I could articulate any of them without looking it up first.
There are probably many other 'skills' I learnt in the dim and distant past but have now forgotten due to lack of use (like Visual Basic Smile | ).
What did you learn and never get around to using or, in fact, ever need to use?

Well, I didn't think I'd ever need those tire changing skills again, or catching falling children until I needed them near the end of next week...
