the gaming geeks at Ars recommend that you avoid the Anniversary update

Right, and you do that how on an OS that forces updates down your throat?

Okay, I am confused. I thought this was a patch. Is that wrong? Because if it is a patch, what you are saying makes no sense. If it just a new "Anniversary" release which people might ignore, then what you are saying is reasonable.

Next up we’re adding the ability to build bases and own giant space freighters

Cat Olympics 2016.

I was referring to the re-installation of Skype.

Nin, I don't have some great conspiracy theory. The release broke Classic Shell. Now perhaps that is because the programmers of Classic Shell had not followed Microsoft's application development rules correctly. But it doesn't change the fact the release cause it to stop working until patched.

People seem oblivious that it's a totally clean install of windows, to the point that c:\windows is renamed to windows.old. To expect every single thing to migrate flawlessly is ignorant, to put it mildly...

Nin, the re-installation of removed software is not a failure of software migration. I don't understand why you are fighting so hard to defend MS here.

Oh I thought it was God in the need of a space ship.

Excuse me... But why does God need a spaceship? </Kirk>

I still remember Star Trek V... Worst old Trek movie. But I laughed at the theater because of course a Shatner directed Trek would make Shat/Kirk face (sort of) God with Shat/Kirk winning the fight. THAT is Shat to you, people!

MS doesn't and quite literally CAN'T prevent every application from having problems when they update something. Saying that they "attacked" Classic Shell when it most likely was a victim of unintended consequences is quite literally a tinfoil hat conspiracy.

For this, and most of your other claims, Occam's Razor gives a much better idea of what's going on.

There's so many tinfoil hats here I could cook my own popcorn lol

Did the anniversary Win10 update break Start10 like it did Classic Shell?

Holy shit, was Suicide Squad bad. At one point about 2/3rds of the way through, Will Smith says "When will it end?" and I'm thinking "Yes, Will, when will this end??????????"

It really did feel like (matching reports of the last few days) it was sort of reordered/reedited. Joker shows up and then disappears for 40+ minutes, at one point...

i actually liked it. that story about it being re-edited to shit by the bigwigs really rings true. i felt like there was a really good movie in there but they chopped it up into fish bait.

it tried way too hard to be like the trailers with catchy songs behind montages for the entire first half of the film and a whole lotta stuff is explained unnecessarily out of order, like who the fuck the bad guys are.

but the scenes themselves and the acting were surprisingly good to me. i would gripe with harley's writing though - she tried a little too hard with the harley-isms, and her relationship with joker, frankly, wasn't fucked up enough. surprised how much i liked will smith as deadshot though. i'll be really interested to see the director's cut.

Meanwhile, Win10 Anniversary Update attacks Classic Shell.

Wow, so completely shitty of them. And the Skype stuff is bad behavior too. I wonder if it would force me to create a Skype login, seeing as I don't have one.

That anniversary update stuff is nice. Typical Microsoft.

The lack of bolt actions beyond the sniper class is disturbing. WW1 you say?

It's WW1 from the History Channel perspective so we might even see aliens.

Based on the stories of their water, I'm surprised their mascot isn't a walking turd.

edit: OOF!

I don't watch Real Sports series on HBO too often, but there is a good segment on the Olympics venue with a lot of disturbing insights. I'm surprised more athletes haven't backed out; however, competing in the Olympics is a dream of a life time that they have been training for all their lives, so on the other hand its not surprising.
