I know. Kind of disappointed but not really surprised. From my experience, a lot of guys in the minecraft community act really creepy to any girls they encounter.

A lot of guys in general, not really specific to the Minecraft community. It's awful.

No, it means transgender and such.

Uhh, no. Trans people often still identify as male or female. There are, however, plenty of other genders not defined within the binary.

Your link is dead, you forgot to give it a URL.

about:blank is a very interesting website. I'll visit it for all my tech news now!

I have no idea what the forums are doing, the link is there.

Here is the link: http://www.howtogeek.com/219166/you-won’t-be-able-to-disable-or-delay-windows-updates-on-windows-10-home/

The option to disable or prevent updates should return with the RTM release. Allegedly, they will continue the Insider program, and allow people to download Windows 10 for free, but those "free" licenses will be unable to turn off the automatic updates.

From what I've heard, any Windows 10 user will be unable to disable or delay updates.

Quote from Tripredacus»

People using the Windows 10 Insider Preview have found it difficult or impossible to actually disable Windows Update.

And in Windows 10, it is pretty much impossible to disable, even for business customers (although they can delay it longer).

Well, without the disk it's about as useful as bubble wrap, I'm afraid

That HDD had been dead for a great number of years

Bubble wrap is pretty damn useful for posting things in the mail, or moving house, or... popping..

... I need to go find some bubble wrap now ...

Yes. Some will tell you that the game can only use up to 2 cores, though it can take some serious advantage of hyperthreading and use more than that.

Uhh, I can't find a single thing that supports this claim.

Haha, that's amazing.

Kinda disappointed I couldn't go to all the Pride stuff here this year.

By the way, I'm not sure, where is your read disk? Why is it not there?

Mine?

I just happened to have this still laying around, was playing with the platters and took them out a while ago.

Just haven't gotten around to throwing it out yet I suppose.

I feel like the whole post count really misrepresents how active a person is.

And I have 5,000 something posts and I went almost 7 months without even visiting this site!

You don't open a HDD. You just don't. There are some extreme and rare cases where it may be beneficial to take the cover off with extreme care (dislodging a stuck read head for example), but outside of that you just don't unless you're in a clean room and know what you're doing.

How do I get all my irreplaceable data back?!???!

Quote from Werewolf5153»

Never had that problem downloading Visual Studios. I only used the 2010 and 2008 versions.

For me, most the software I use is available on most OS's. I stay on windows because of how easy it is to install new hardware and the fact that installing stuff is really easy. I haven't used Mac OS stuff really, but on Linux, I had to search how to install Java and some other programs I used. Windows you just download an installer and click next a bunch of times.

What OS should be your choice, not mine, not anyone else (expect maybe you jobs). If you prefer OS X over Windows, that is your choice.

Assuming you're running a nice Linux distro *cough*Arch Linux*cough* you can install literally anything from the AUR without having to even grab installers with just a single command!

I'm certainly not saying that everyone should use one OS or another because of what I need, everyone has different requirements for what their compute should do. That's why I still use Windows and Linux! I was just replying to another comment talking about people in the computer world preferring OS X.

what do you mean theres far more than 2 genders?

Gender identity isn't a binary!

This page does a fairly good overview I think.

Ha ha. No. Running most software on modern operating systems as large as OS X and Windows do not require you to "jump through hoops to configure it all" anymore. And it hasn't for a long time. In almost every case it's as simple as clicking on install on windows, and dragging an app into the app folder on OS X. Though I suppose you actually have the option to configure things if you'd like on Windows.

There's no longer a gap between OS X and Windows when it comes to "general work" and there hasn't been for many years. It used to be that OS X was good for productivity tasks but it no longer is. Mostly everything works the same, if not better on Windows.

Windows not being POSIX compatible is an absolute nightmare for doing half of what I do. So much software isn't even built for it, or can't be built for it.

It's crazy I'd need to install a bunch of third party binaries or download something as massive as Visual Studio to build things (that require tons of porting to even work, and often aren't tested or are buggy) to do what I think of basic.

Also, for what it's worth, I use Windows, OS X, and Linux on a daily basis.

Considering I have no interest in dating females (remember gender isn't the same as sex, and there's far more than two genders), it's fairly easy!

Only Linux flavors I've used in the past year or so on my desktop or old laptop were based on Arch, it's the best ;3

The AUR is just lovely for getting all the software and dependencies you need.
