Well, I still feel like 25, but feeling like it and acting it are two very different things.

When I lose interest in watching Jap porn and have a good <deleted>, I want to go! And in all fairness, past 65 is more that enough. Homo Sapiens were not designed to live longer than 40 year. You all old timers must know the feeling when, at 50, you still feel like you can do all the things you did at 30, but you can't! After that it's all downhill, sickness, injuries that take forever to heal, impotence.... you name it.

Wasn't there an elephant somewhere there too?

ALL planets and stars and even black holes in the universe are spherical, Well, some may be slightly flattened if they rotate fast.

Yes, and those who do not toe to the party line, just simply disappear. Sometimes they re-appear months later after being "re-educated", but that doesn't happen often.

You mean, like in China where CCP sees all, hears all, tells you what to do and how to behave. Thanks, but no thanks.

And how would that Nuclear Disaster happen? Do tell...

Very valid reasons that you can always use when you lack intelligent arguments. Can be used in almost any case.

It's easy to understand the government thinking. They are choosing the people from the neighboring countries simple because: A. They look not dissimilar to the Thai people. B. They share the Thai mentality of kowtowing to the authority. Western expats are to educated and independent to fit into the society here. Just imagine if they would be allowed to vote and be active politically. Total mayhem.... Westerners have no grasp of kreng jai (เกรงใจ), a concept that is so prevalent here.

All modern TV's since years back have a digital tuner (DVBTV) built in. No need for an external box. Just plug the antenna cable directly to the TV. That's what I use at home on a 3 year old Samsung TV. At some time, years ago when the broadcasters went digital, the Thai government were giving away the boxes, but they were meant for people with the old CRT TVs.

What is this HINT. Never heard about it. Can one apply?

The problem is that "life imprisonment" in Sweden is a maximum of 18 years, according to Swedish law, and generally shorter if there is an appeal. So she could be out in 10 years or so... IMO they should just re-instate the death penalty.

I read you DOOM brother. But you can play the original DOOM I and II on windows 10 nowadays. I do... Nothing beats the originals.

This is a joke, right? And Qatar in second place? What is the world coming to.... And Russia in the Security Council vetoing all the resolutions against it!

I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 116 seconds  

Unconscious Get Violent! Wow! re-animation! Go hide, zombies are coming!!! Sorry, read only the headline.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 71 seconds  

Please, I feel offended...

Ah, missed that post. It's clear now, thanks.

Actually, it seems that CPU is not included in the license activation. My i9-13900KF died a terrible thermal death, as described elsewhere, and had to be returned for replacement. As a temporary replacement, I plugged in a 12gen i5 CPU fully expecting the usual hassle with Microsoft license activation, but Win10 is is still activated. Maybe that's because I'm using MS logon. Can you explain that?

You are obviously not the native English speaker, otherwise you would understand my post in a different light, especially the ending. I changed the subject because you showed your ignorance regarding Linux. "totally backwards, includes knowledge of code to totally understand as well as have limited compatibility with available software" You still haven't answered my question of "What available software?" You sounded just like the millions of MS brainwashed minions spreading their FUD to the masses. Personally, I don't particularly like people plugging their Linux distros as a salvation and solution to everything, including their hemorrhoids, but it's up to the individuals to use what they want. And I do run a few penguins of my own. And, sometimes, it's perhaps better to zip, rather than show how ignorant you are.

No, but you're wrong assuming that Super Computers run as Internet servers for financial transactions.

Forgot to add to my previous reply, I meant the real Heavy Metal, the machines that run 1,000+ PFlops/s (that's Peta FLOPS). And they are not connected to the internet and do not run commercial software. They are quietly running calculating folding proteins, simulating nuclear explosions to picoseconds, and other such everyday mundane things for the betterment of human civilization.

An ATM machine is nothing more than an end terminal, not the application. The security of the transaction is assured by the network protocols. And some of the ATM's actually still run IBM OS/2, and never BSOD. CrowdStrike anybody?

Hahahaha!!! Wrong again Gottfrid. They all run on large IBM mainframes, like Z/15, with IBM z/OS as the operating system and are written in COBOL. There is nothing "secure" about Windows servers. On the contrary...
