Quite well.

Is it true that "good" (+) and "~bad" (-) Windows main versions almost alternate? (by coincidence, naturaly or on purpose?)

I switched from Mac to Windows almost after XP. Here we go: (you guys do the "before Wind. XP"...)
XP: +
Vista: -
7: +
8: - (although I liked it! ...)
8.1: +
9: Non-existent! , thus "-" [although that can get us into a "philosophical" debate here ...]
10: +

Anyone cares to complete the chart by doing the before? Does it work?
[Use common acceptence (stat./ly) - not personal views ...]

The first version of windows I used was WIN3.22 ... ohhh so long ago

went to WIN 95, then 98SE skipped WIN 2000 and ME and went grudgingly to WIN XP where I ended up quite happy for some years
skipped VISTA --- it was total crap ( experienced that version on the work puters and tablets) and went to WIN7 PRO and as
said above I was pleasantly surprised. Skipped Win8 ... also bad experiences with it at work
Over this last weekend I have just built up a new PC for home ... Gigabyte MOBO, 16gig RAM, Series7000 i5 processor, 250gig SSD for
main C-Drive plus another 8TB of storage carried over from the WIN 7 PC, but unfortunately I had to go to Win 10. My experiences with
WIN10 so far are " I am not amused!"

I have been running WIN10 on my laptop for the last 12 months so I knew what I was in for ... It's taken some effort to remove the
Windows control over many activities, but I am getting there Dave

Da ... I have forgotten where I saw it. Does 3.51 count as an excuse? Or was it 3.11?

 

[davenn]

Yup

 

[Stavros Kiri]

Quite well.

Lol

WIN10 so far are " I am not amused!"

I agree. I prefer Wind. 7 or 8.1

Windows control over many activities

That's my problem too! I prefer to have control over everything, as well as maximum options. I think Wind. 8.1 gives you that. You can choose to work them practically "exactly" like Wind. 7, or choose like Wind. 8 (metro environment - tablet version), or like 10 too (almost) when you choose auto settings, etc. . And 8.1 is almost as fast as 10, I think.

Or is it because it's summer (northern hemisphere ...) and people are swimming at the beach ..., thus having limited "indoors internet 'traffic' " ... ?
Unless people are prejudiced and biased against me or something, for some reason.
In that case perhaps we are forgetting the "common sense - basic courtesy rules" ..., or then again may be not ...

Sorry, it didn't strike me as funny. Especially contrasted with the very funny nature of the original meme image (which I shared on Facebook, which I hardly ever do). Hang in there!

On the other hand, I didn't find the original very funny, but just ok. Humour is subjective and relative, IMO. But thanks, indeed!

 

[berkeman]

Agreed. Humor depends so much on a person's background, experiences, language nuances, etc.

 

[berkeman]

For example, I have some extra training with HAZMAT for my part-time job as a Medic. There is a lot of (sometimes dark) humor in EMS/Fire about HAZMAT and amateurs that come across it. So that meme was very funny for me, especially the part about not being good at science.

[Bandersnatch]

Well, you'd think that. But have you ever wondered why does the flat Earth rest on the backs of four elephants, and not e.g. ducks, or armadillos?
The whole point of the four elephants, you see, is so that they may catch things pushed off by cats (with their trunks, doh) and put them back in.
As you can see, the flat Earth cosmology is far more robust than a layman might judge.

But everyone knows it's turtles all the way down! How good are turtles at catching things?

Einstein and three of his non-science friends are discussing:
Einstein: guys I discovered recently that the fastest thing in the world is light!
Friend1: I've always thought the fastest was a fast closing door ... I can never catch it.
Friend2: Gee guys no! The fastest thing ever is thought in the brain ...
Friend3: (laughing out loud) That's bs! You guys are all wrong! The fastest thing in the world is when you have the runs*! Last time it hit me I had no time at all to either think, close the door or turn on the light! ...

Today's SMBC.

I love coffee, so I love this one. Note the reference to the golden ratio. Hee hee.

[Source: http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/espresso]

[Edit: On a more detailed reading, I suspect Mr. Weinersmith might have meant to express the "Phicetto" as \frac{\mathrm{espresso \ + \ milk}}{\mathrm{milk}} = \frac{\mathrm{milk}}{\mathrm{espresso}}, given its location on the line. His original expression would have been correct if it was on the other side of "Antoccino." "A" for effort though.]

You know, the first liter is the most important!

I'll never understand that milk thingy. The tough ones don't drink milk. They eat the cow.
