You even tried "Other"? Waiting for your review!

They even exist in the "current" universe. The 10th doctor faced them once.

They weren't destroyed nor killed, they were just moved into a different universe.
Technically, The Doctor isn't "the last of the Time Lords", he just happened to be the only one who was outside the Moment's sphere.

The well-liked Win7 and hated/despised Win8 seem to make the unloved Vista Win6 and well-liked XP Win5.

Christopher Eccleston for me, although Peter Capaldi does a good job. Admittedly, I don't know the first seven Doctors, I started with the "movie".
Smith and Tennant seem to be "female-supported" Doctors, preferred by girls because they're, optically, handsome. I guess that doesn't fit what Doctor Who is about. It's not "Sherlock"!

(Do the non-canonical Doctors count? There was a Rowan Atkinson one...)

I still want to know why people actually continue to pay for Office when OpenOffice does the same job and costs nothing.

And OpenOffice isn't the only GPL backed alternative.
-SeraphimLabs (September 30, 2014, 04:53 PM)

You shouldn't choose your software based on its license. It'd leave you with not much choice.

Microsoft Office is nice for teams, given that LibO/OOo are the only alternatives with real plans for a built-in collaborative "cloud storage" - stuck to mere plans for years now. For personal use, probably SoftMaker Office (and WordPerfect - the text processor - for letters; yes, I'm still undecided) is the better choice anyway when it comes to quality.

I wonder which version number Windows 10 will have. 6.4?
Just to add more confusion.

But it seems that Windows 10 will make Listary and Dexpot a bit less important. Neat.

I think that's consequence.

I've read that upcoming Windows versions will be "rolling releases" anyway, with Windows "9" being the last or next-to-last "full release"; the code for in-place upgrades is already in "milestone previews".

Not in Linuxland. The bash is the only major GPL'ed shell.

Depends on what you do day-by-day. My day-by-day systems are Windows and FreeBSD, randomly supported by OpenBSD. All of them do different things for me.

So this is roughly a second time that I have heard of, (I'm sure there are more) where flaws in otherwise trusted non-Windows Non-Adobe/Java stuff has been sitting on a vulnerability for who knows how long, and the "good guys" only found it in 2014.
-TaoPhoenix (September 25, 2014, 06:40 AM)

Don't trust Linux.

While Linux would work without bash, the GNU/Linux ecosystem mostly got down to it. Here we go with another example of Linux's bad design: As everything is third-party software, no one triggers a decent QA.

« Last post by Tuxman on September 12, 2014, 06:10 AM »
People still use that torrent stuff? Why?

If I had to choose, I'd probably recommend Tixati. Reminds me of old WinMX.

Oh, that Qute is sweet indeed. Although I mainly use Markdown for quick drafts for later HTML conversion. But I'll take a look.

Some of them were indeed new to me. But I wonder why you like MD inside VS but rant about .net...

Why not Emacs?

(On Windows, there's MarkdownPad 2. Beat that.)

Yes, AdGuard needs to intercept HTTPS, that's why using the Android version is a bit dangerous...

They announced AM5 to be released this Summer. Looks like winter now.
