Mark you call yourself a Linux guy and you defend Windows? How dare you! :D Just kidding...

A lot of Windows freezes could be related to spyware as well. Don't get me started when I used to work for MS call center and dealt with people when the Sasser virus broke. Lets just say a lot of people shouldn't be using a computer.

There are some things you still have to use the terminal with, like when an application you want isn't in the repos and they don't have a deb or rpm for it so you have to install it from source which is annoying, but frankly that doesn't happen all too often and in distros like ubuntu you never have to use the terminal really...

You are doing something wrong if you feel you need to use the terminal all the time.

I file that under the "user issues" category I mentioned earlier. Inadequate protection/configuration, or plain stupidity in allowing a random web popup to "clean" your computer. ;)

Nothing is 100% fool proof since there will always be a better fool out there. :)

BTW, what is that "Dead Like Me" thing in your signature about? I liked that show when it was on.

Nothing is foolproof because there is always a bigger fool around the corner. ;)

It's clickable. :whistle: It takes you to the IMDB site for the DVD movie release coming up. My wife and I both loved that show.

Oh sweet, I have signatures turned off -- but me and the wife were also big fans of that show.. Will have to let her know there is a movie coming out..

Should be good ;)

After the departure of Rube Sofer, a new head reaper named Cameron Kane takes over. He's a slick businessman who couldn't care less about helping the newly dead. Chaos ensues and brings out the worst in Daisy and Mason who begin drinking anew. George and Reggie re-connect for the first time when George reaps a new friend of Reggie's.

Here is a trailer

Oh the new head reaper is Desmond from Lost ;)

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
