I just discovered that I have a page of bookmarks about which I'd forgotten.
The ability to bookmark an individual post, with app102's suggestion for attaching a note, would give me better than a 50-50 chance of ever finding a specific post.-cranioscopical (July 21, 2015, 05:25 PM)
Microsoft has revealed the end of life date for its latest operating system, Windows 10. The soon to be released OS will reach its end of life support date on the 14th of October 2025, despite previous reports suggesting that Windows 10 would be the ‘final’ version.
The new end of life date was revealed on the Windows life-cycle fact sheet, which shows that mainstream support for Windows 10 will end on the 13th of October 2020, with extended support set to end five years later. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide regular updates for the software or any technical assistance.
Deo recommended searching youtube for the phrase "Let's Play", and it's yielded some excellent results.
I can see that different users make very different playthroughs, and the trick is to find one that matches your tastes.
I started watching a giant playthrough of a game that very much but which i do not want (nor have the time to) play, Witcher 3, and can highly recommend this player:

So, recently I purchased my stepson a serviceable refurbished Win7 machine. And while shopping, naturally I find a unit or two that I sure wouldn't mind having:
Intel Quad Core 3.4GHz i7-4770 32GB 1TB SSD + 2 x 3TB 7200rpm RAID 1 HDD Windows 7 Professional...
Thing is, my current setup (Win 7 Ultimate, 6 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD with a 2.8 GHz cpu) is more than adequate for my simple needs: a bit of programming, web browsing, proofreading for pay, emailing.
So I've learned over the years to resist these urges and usually in 2-4 weeks they pass. How do you deal with them?-kyrathaba (July 14, 2015, 10:26 AM)
Washington DC – The IEEE have produced a report today where they strongly recommend that from now on, the discipline of Computer Programming should be officially renamed to “Googling Stackoverflow”.
“We are recommending a root-and-branch name change to this discipline”, said President of the IEEE, Thomas M. Conte. “We are even going to change the official name of the IEEE Computer Society to the IEEE Quick Look At StackOverflow Society”.
“We are furthermore recommending that all universities across the planet should cease to award Bachelors degrees, Masters or PhDs in computer programming or software engineering and instead they should award these degrees in Googling Stackoverflow.”
“We are also considering renaming “P-values” to “Reviewer Pacifiers”.”

Looking the code, it seems to be standard video, with JS set to overlay at certain times.-Stephen66515 (June 11, 2015, 06:49 AM)
I presumed he meant what was used to create the video animation - that's what I'd be wondering about anyways...-tomos (June 11, 2015, 01:10 PM)
Agreed. The question is in the production, not the implementation.-wraith808 (June 11, 2015, 02:12 PM)

Character Map used to be in the Accessories group in the Start Menu, but disappeared in Windows 7.-xtabber (April 16, 2015, 05:28 PM)
IIRC, it got moved to Windows System menu group, (or something similar).-4wd (April 17, 2015, 09:01 PM)
I live in a crappy little village that seems to have more sheep and cows than actual people...and yet I am still only a 15 minute drive from ASDA (Or Walmart as you call it) and the same distance from a Tesco (Like ASDA...Only better) o.O-Stephen66515 (June 07, 2015, 03:12 PM)

In my case, it was my antivirus. That's when I finally got rid of AVG.@mouser, didn't you say in another thread you are running AVG on (some of) your system(s)?-wraith808 (June 07, 2015, 11:37 AM)-Ath (June 08, 2015, 01:30 AM)
Lots can cause this sort of issue. I see it a lot dealing with domain environments. I would highly doubt it's bad ssd or hardware related at all.-pip2kk (June 07, 2015, 02:54 PM)
