It's rule #4 in the sticky post at the top of the Lounge. No politics.
Personally I don't see this thread as politics even though politics is the reason Trump is in the news most of the time. But discussing something silly like this is not politics, IMO, but I'll bet that is what he is referring to.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Love it  would make a great email sig
I once, many many years ago got into trouble for changing my email sig (work mind you) to 'there are 10 kinds of people who understand binary ...' - a lady called my boss and wanted me sacked because 'she didnt get it ergo I must be making fun of stupid people' .. after my boss explained to her in perfect management way that it was a particular form of humour, and 'Garth would be spoken to' he came over to me to which my response was 'I rest my case' - and he laughed till he cried - like most management back then with tech people on one side and business on the other, he had to walk a fine line, but he did a good job in general

Sounds like my boss. A very good sort, and one of the best I've ever had.

people often remember the 'good old days of x, y, z....' - to me, the good old days of 'IT' were when 'IT' and 'The business' were equal partners - I see all too often these days an 'adversarial' relationship between IT & the business, that really doesn't do either side any good
...I guess I'll crawl back onto (or under) my rock now and dream of utopia

And I saw this on FB:
Five syllables here
Seven more syllables there

Which, if you interpret any "release" product from Microsoft as really meaning a buggy-beta you should not use (except on a dedicated test machine) until it has been out for a year or so ... won't happen

W10 is an exception. Since the updates are bigger than the Iso, W10 qualify to Alpha stage.

So where's the haiku? 
|
|
|
|
|
Well it should have been
reworded differently
"have had no gigs yet"
But I just copied
Direct from the newsletter
Miscounts not my fault
I still think its good
Despite inaccurate scan
But not for pedants

There once was a poet named Tucker
Who wrote odes in praise of his mucker
But sad to relate
What was said by his mate
Was "I wanted a haiku, you %&^#$@"

I'm not sure what the exact wording to my latest Windows 10 install failure message was but I understand the implication.
