If it isn’t a complete landslide against the Fascists, it will be a loss to democracy.

It depends on the Jurisdiction.

IANAL, but in Australia, the Driver is responsible if any passengers are not wearing their seatbelt.

The vindictive anarchist in me wants to see what happens when the US crashes and burns, but if Trump gets in it is going to empower the right-wing nut-jobs in other countries too. We will all crash and burn.

I used to write my Computer Science assignments in DocBook (XML). It would amaze the assessor’s when they said they wanted a PDF or PostScript or HTML or whatever and I would spit out a document custom formatted for whichever platform they wanted.

Then they would ask for it in Word DOC and I would be screwed.

I had Corel WordPerfect for Linux.

You could modify the SGML codes to create documents that were compatible with all other versions of WordPerfect and MS Word, but he features that were supported in the document format, but not in the software.

For instance, I could change use more than the 16 colours that the Word for Windows UI allowed you to use, even though the displayed correctly in the WYSIWYG editor and printed correctly.

It’s not about the current state of their OS, it is about the corporate attitude to users.

Microsoft are treating users not as valued customers purchasing a product, but as a resource to be manipulated and sold off to the cheapest bidder.

They may have backflipped on actual ads in the Start Menu, purely due to user backlash, but they still have game/app/bullshit recommendations and reinstalled garbage, unless you are a windows sysadmin and know jo to use a Profile Editor.

People want companies to stop trying to exploit them in every little way.

We can be satisfied by respecting us and treating us as customers, even when advertisers are throwing money at them.

I blame their mothers.

WizardBeard has advised how to get rid of the nagging without any RegEdit or Profile Editing.

Probably one of the most honest policy changes they’ve made.

Some people think that Google is trustworthy. They still believe that the motto “Do No Evil” was ever relevant.

Considering all the Bloatware that Microsoft has been pumping out lately (don’t get me started or Outlook), this may be a good excuse to get a Radeon Graphics Card.

If I can be guaranteed that installing this software will prevent having to deal with CoPilot, I would jump on that straight away.

Mine had a 3-speed crash box with an unusual shift-pattern that basically made the theft-proof. It also ran on both LPG and Petrol so I could drive it everywhere without having to refill.

Petrol was reasonably priced back then and LPG was even cheaper.

Owning shares when you are an elected official with jurisdiction over the industry you own shares in.

Also, any political figure owning shares in a media organisation, regardless of whether it is traditional media or “new media”.

Passing on the left in regions with LH traffic (RHD)

Since it is the opposite of Overtaking, it is typically called undertaking, especially if you try to undertake a large truck with limited visibility on the passenger side.

“Real drivers” prefer lightweight cars that are more responsive and can corner, take off and stop on a dime.

Track racing, off-road racing and even Motorkhana and technical rock-crawling is more fun in a vehicle that is the bare minimum.

The only reason any driver would want something with superfluous extra weight is in Monster Trucks for stability, and then only if they are a shit driver.

Even Tractor pulls (where the object is to pull a heavy weight) need the right balance of power:weight and ballast to have sufficient traction to offset the dead weight of the load.
