    Heya army-home from work-time for some spiced rum and more reading up on Linux
    Linux mint 19 is in testing right now , beta should be out by the end of next week if not sooner . Running the beta will give you a simple path to the release version , just a matter of updating it , super easy to do in Linux Mint .

    Not to get @retic1959 going on a tear about Linux. Or how I’m a chicken or anything....

    Some of you were annoyed at Win 10 updates resetting your preferences like privacy and security. That’s upsetting! There is no excuse for that in code. User preferences are sacred - your code should never mess with it for any reason.

    I’m annoyed because it also reset my monitor calibrations. In my work, that’s important. Now I have to recalibrate 3 monitors and try to get the color accurate on them in Photoshop. Grrrr.

    The default makes the monitor colors dark and over-saturated. No one would want their color like that even if they aren’t a design professional. WTH?

    Naturally the settings are buried in some nonsensical location. :facepalm:

    There are bigger problems in the world. It’s only a nuisance.

    Windoze 10 resets things almost every update . I can only assume it's deliberate , MS wants to ram it down our throats . Meanwhile more privacy legislation taking place in the EU , targeting Google , Apple etc. for spyware . I hope the EU devastates the SOB's in court .

    Totally agree. The updates also automatically restart your computer even if you have it set to ask first. I had some Photoshop files open but not saved, walked away to do something and come back to find the system had rebooted. I am a fanatic about saving as I work, but this time I didn’t. (Wouldn’t you know it?) Thankfully Photoshop had an auto-recovery and I got my work back. Still, I was livid!

    The privacy invasion stuff they do is horrible enough. But they can’t even get the basics right and ruin your productivity. Life is too short for this!

    this is what I have to deal with at work...

    notice the shipping sleeve/ instructions enclosed slip... its supposed to be placed on top of the box.

    and her reason was to "cover" the existing old Fedex Label

    OHHH wait.. is that a roll of sticky labels designed to cover the address and barcode on the used fedex labels to the left and behind the box???????????????????? ( looks like a roll of TP) o_Oo_Oo_Oo_Oo_Oo_Oo_O

    and that is just a tiny fraction of how several million dollars worth of Cisco product is cared for.....
    we have over 70 pallets( 4'X4') and 100 shelves ( 2'X8'X2') of storage for Cisco parts ... about 22,000 boxes of stuff... ranging in value from 20$ to 100K$ per piece... yup 100K$ ( full blown servers that weigh over 500 lbs... most of the weight is power supply)
    can you tell Ive had enuf of this BS? :-x

    why is it called a "Wake" when the person will sleep forever?

    odd word... wake..

    examples..
    wake that person up
    the tornado left devastation in its wake

    why does the bow of a boat leave a wave but the stern leaves a wake??

    and a supersonic item has a shock wave but no shock wake ( think boat)

    if you stop someone from sleeping by waking them up....
    can you make some one sleep by waking them down?

    and just what does Elmer Fudd mean by he waked the leaves in his yard??

    and Im blaming this on not inhaling the cigar.... ;)

    just a thought.... but

    cheese... moldy cheese
    Blu' cheese, Roqufort, etc... is considered to be special and somewhat pricey... but
    if you find mold on other types of cheese, one has a desire to cut away that mold or even throw away the whole thing....

    and did you know that really good salami is supposed to have mold on the outside of it????

    damn another word to ponder.... mold

    the house smells damp and of mold
    the new wife is going to mold her husband into a person of her desires
    You pour lead into the bullet mold ( never knew bullets could mold)
    wonder if its ok to shoot moldy bullets?
    the yard got mold... its full of holes and mounds...

    did you know that without mold, we would be walking thru 100s of feet deep of dead trees and plants??? ;)
    and bread would last forever ;) and we wouldnt have Blu' cheese...
