Why I use Linux, part 3,453,333
A woman has won $10,000 in damages from Microsoft for its attempt to upgrade her computers to Windows 10, without her permission.
I suppose one could argue that this is a reason to keep Windows, as you’d have a chance to win a jackpot from them in court. I prefer to be able to do the work I want to do, without harrassment.
From the press release: From the moment he is handed a possibility of making the first alien contact, Saunders Maxwell decides he will do it, even if doing so takes him through hell and back.
Unfortunately, that is exactly where that journey takes him.
The vision that Zimmerman paints of vibrant human colonies on the Moon, Mars, the asteroids, and beyond, indomitably fighting the harsh lifeless environment of space to build new societies, captures perfectly the emerging space race we see today.
He also captures in Pioneer the heart of the human spirit, willing to push forward no matter the odds, no matter the cost. It is that spirit that will make the exploration of the heavens possible, forever, into the never-ending future.
Available everywhere for $3.99 (before discount) at amazon, Barnes & Noble, all ebook vendors, or direct from the ebook publisher, ebookit.

funny, I’ve been running Win 7 for years , never had a prob with the forced update to win10 , I just did not install the last win 7 update
“I just did not install the last win 7 update.”
This demonstrates why Microsoft products are really not good products to use. They have created a situation where you are encouraged to not run the most recent version containing the most up-to-date security upgrades (which with Windows are definitely needed considering the system’s poor design).
