For a wallpaper[^]
The first time I saw this on a notebook in Ebay, I literally cursed the seller for selling a notebook for such a high price, even when the screen is TOTALLY DAMAGED. 
Can't the MS folks pick one good, worthy poster from the million good "Webshots"? Hope you remember that popular, cool wallpaper-app of the 2000s.

That wallpaper is one that lets you arrange your icons on the darker areas in the image thus making them far more visible.

Pics of intergalactic space interspersed with a few gravity lensed galaxies is good for that too.

I would agree.

I have a picture of Mrs Wife standing in the middle of the Sahara*, all the edges are a nice calm sand colour.

There are so many better pics, that could still do it! This one looked so weird to me. I've been dealing with ruined LCD panels lately on my displays and tablets. You would know why I dislike it now! :P

I don't see any issue here. If you don't like the lock screen's picture, what prevents you from changing it?
That's like ranting about a car because the default radio station is not one of your favorites

Have you watched House Hunters on HGTV? "Oh, so this house is 20K under budget, has the desired number of bedrooms and pretty much every other feature we wanted and more, but the powder room's paint color is one shade darker than we prefer. Rejected, next house please." Reminded me of that.

I must confess, I usually avoid watching this kind of crappy TV shows. Now, I know why Thanks

For the first time I looked at it in my own PC, it was a shocker, it exactly looked like a broken display. I was having a bad time with so many of my machines/hardwares. So it did upset me for a second. Hehe. Microsoft is answerable. At least that lady, Cortana is.

"Some settings are managed by your organization."
I'd rather they "managed" to at least put a corporate logo there.

Reporting errors in queries.
I have a stored proc with two merge statements. SQL Server was showing the "can't update the same row twice", but was reporting the error on the first line of the stored proc (which was not where the first merge statement started).

The 2016 version of Management studio is supposed to have fixed a lot of these error line number discrepancies.

That have to do more than fix the reported line number. If they know there's an error, they can be a lot more detailed about what's causing the problem. In this day and age, reporting a "syntax error near ')'" is bullsh|t of the highest order.

Amen brother, spun my wheels yesterday on a similar issue. We are using JDBC Batch Update functionality talking to SQL Server and the stack trace gave me "incorrect syntax near where". I had to go monkey down in the bowels of our code to get the SQL string to output so I could see this "where".
Cutting to the chase, the code sets a source SQL query then you tell it which columns from the source match which columns of the destination and in a little black box it creates Insert and Updates statements.
Unless right after you set the source SQL query to immediately do a get of the same string for debugging purposes because that somehow wipes out the column information even before you add it.
 But I removed my debugging line and everything is hunky dory now.
Same but different, thanks for letting me vent.

Salvatore Riina[^]. He had so many people killed that Manson pales in comparison. And the power he had, and still has...

Perhaps you ought to request an animated :tarantella: emoticon for such occasions?

And there was I think the Mob (with Trilby's & Tommy Guns) were a thing of the past & only today on film... They had moved to more white collar stuff (the dreaded Cybercriminal) but no...

In Italy not so much, and right now it is using the unregulated clandestine immigration as their violent arm (basically our mob makes arrangement to get immigrant countries criminals and mobsters in Italy, retaining part of the profit and overseeing their operations) so that traditional "mafia" is less named in the news.
Yet there still are obvious italian mob killings, one of the last I heard of right in my city - which is at the far North, nominally way outside traditional mafia turfs but actually not, as my family personally knew dozens of affiliates of various kinds - and it was the murder of a local politician. Mafia always worked underway with bribes and blackmails, only with the occasional beating or "disappearance", until Riina got to power and started what was all but formally a terror campaign.
Sadly, the mob is still there, still powerful as usual, and now nobody speaks of it since it is back to the usual, quiet, self. People disappear, legal and public documents disappear, witnesses keep suddenly forgetting about what they did see, judges keep mudding trials and so on so forth.
