I prefer Win8 because, unlike Win10, it has no Start Menu.

I never see the Start Screen (Metro), by the way.

The Start Menu was specifically created by Microsoft, at great expense,
to accommodate mental retards.

This is an undeniable historic fact.  Microsoft commissioned psychological
experts ($$$) to observe the behavior of test subjects representing the common
user, i.e. retards.  After intensive study the conclusion was that a
"Start" button or menu was essential in allowing access for the common
user, i.e. retards.

So what's Jeffie, the retard, gonna do without his Start Menu?  He will,
like all retards, just sit there and stare at the empty screen with his
mouth hanging open while drooling all over his shirt.

I doubt that _all_ managers/programmers are shit.

You don't have to use old code, you can/should rewrite it;
in fact, they often do so. Case in point:

  My C# macros, to automate Visual Studio 2015:

  Jeff-Relf.Me/Macros.HTM

  Yes, I had to rewrite my VS_2010 macros;
  but it's nice to have them in C# now,
  instead of "Visual Basic for Applications".

  Also, now I can write extensions too.
  Overall, it's been a wonderful improvement.

No one cares about your VS macros.  This is a *physics* group.

So how do you use your Windows machine in support of physics?
What kind of scientific plotting/graphics software do you have
installed?  What kind of computer algebra and/or numerical
simulation packages do you employ?

Tell us about using Microsoft Windows for physics.

Programming is fun !  
There's _nothing_ that I'd rather be doing.

As for money, who cares ?

Once you have the necessities, 
-- and we _all_ do, thanks to the welfare state --
everything else is just trite hedonism.

Quite Trite.

I don't want a "roomate" or "wife", by the way;
especially not one that wants me to fund _her_ hedonism.

President DFS would put a bullet in the head of all welfare recipients 
that scam society and refuse to work and pay their own way.

Who do I bill for your bullet, Relf?

You're _not_ the president, nor will you ever be.
You hate "niggers" (your word, not mine); it's extreme.

I don't get welfare, I don't need it.
I've told you this, a hundred times,
but you refuse to believe it.

Socialism, working for the common good, is good;
so good, in fact, that _all_ rich nations do it.
The richer the nation (e.g. Norway), the more they do it.

After that, it's capitalism, to wit:

  Trite Hedonism.  Quite Trite.

Think about it, DFS, you're a pig.

Other than to explain what 'nigger-rigged' means, I've never used that 
word on cola.

Speaking of hate, head on over to www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos and see 
what they think of Whites.

I don't believe it because in Mar 2012 you said:

"I get food stamps ( $200 / month ) because my income is low, not 
because I'm "wacked⋅out".

Food stamps are welfare.

Not at all - I just live well.  The opposite of how you live: surrounded 
by other low-income wackjobs in a boarding house.

I doubt that.

There's some *serious* scamming going on out there which is the problem I

I'm not a fan of hip-hop or the whole black ghetto/gang shit. Not a fan of 
white racism either.

There are always going to be people at the racial/political/religious end of 
the "bell curve". Most people in the middle 80% of the population can get 
along just fine with others.

Yes they are. But I'm not a fan of people starving in the streets either. 
Here in MA (probably elsewhere) they don't have "food stamps" because 
they're too degrading. They have "EBT" cards which are basically a state 
provided credit-card.

A recent state AG report found that there's lots of people with balances of 
$10's of thousands. EBT cards have been used at Disney World, Hawaii, cruise 
ships, casinos, strip clubs, etc. I'm pretty sure that's not what the 
program was meant for.

No, I'm buying, anywhere you want to eat/drink,
anywhere you want to go (in Seattle).
Cruise Lake Washington and Elliot Bay, on me.

I'd let you stay with me for free too, for a few nights;
but you probably would _not_ like the cigarette smoke.

Sadly, I get too excited about _planned_ travel,
-- I wouldn't be able to sleep the night(s) before --
so I get motion sickness; it's _really_ bad.

But, were I well rested, 
and I had to be "there" (wherever you are) _right_now_,
I could hop on a plane and be there, no motion sickness.

> DFS, you're welcome to join anytime.

I too would welcome him, but I'd lecture him about 
the benefits of "collective efforts" (socialism)
the same way I lecture my antiCapitalist friends
on the benefits of capitalism.

I give proCapitalists lecture _a_lot_,
because I've so many antiCapitalist friends.

I'm friendly, but I dress like a slob,
I don't give a shit what people think of me;
I love to be alone, posting to Usenet, programming, etc.

Your tax money supports winos, heroin addicts and the like.
But don't forget: Rich Capitalists, like you, are hedonists too.

Back when I had food stamps, I had just $25/month, after paying rent.
I was very happy then; I even had a puppy and a cute, 
90lb, 18 year old, former gymnist girl living with me.  

I had to get rid of her because people assumed the worst.

DFS is _not_ one of those, I assure you;
but that's his disaster, not mine.

And for heroin, beer, etc.

I told my musician, heroin addict friend: ＜＜

I replied:

  Sure, that's how he got his money, $2.9 million a year.
  He worked hard to pay _attorneys_ and spousal/child support;
  to wit:

Quoting:
http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Accountant-Jerry-Garcia-overpaid-his-ex-wife-3109053.php
December 20, 1996

  An accountant for Jerry Garcia's estate is expected 
  to testify Friday that Carolyn "Mountain Girl" Garcia 
  was entitled only to a $1 million divorce settlement 
  - not the $5 million cash the Grateful Dead guitarist 
  agreed to give her.

  Both sides in the acrimonious dispute over the estate 
  continued to trade accusations Thursday in Marin 
  Superior Court during the second week of the trial.

  Carolyn Garcia, the second wife of the famous rock 
  musician and mother of two of his daughters, is 
  seeking to get her $5 million agreement reinstated. 
  After Jerry Garcia died of a heart attack in August 
  1995 at a drug rehabilitation center, his third wife, 
  Deborah Koons Garcia, cut off all payments to Carolyn Garcia.

  "The real issue of this case is that no one ever told 
  Jerry Garcia there was a difference between community 
  and separate property," said Richard Schiller, a 
  forensic accountant who has been delving into Jerry 
  Garcia's finances for the last three months. "Nobody 
  was properly advising him of the fundamentals of 
  family law."

  Schiller, who was scheduled to be called Thursday as 
  a witness for the estate but will be called Friday 
  instead, discussed his views outside court.

  The San Francisco accountant, who also has 
  represented musician Sammy Hagar, said Carolyn and 
  Jerry Garcia's estate was worth $2 million when they 
  separated in December 1990. He said this means she 
  would have been entitled to $1 million, plus spousal 
  and child support.

  Carolyn Garcia's attorney, David Phillips, has said 
  Jerry Garcia asked Carolyn Garcia to draft an 
  agreement to settle their affairs because he was 
  frustrated by the slow progress being made by their 
  divorce lawyers.

  Other highlights of Thursday's hearing in which Jerry 
  Garcia's longtime attorney, David Hellman, took the stand:

  -- It was revealed that Deborah Koons Garcia sought to 
     remove Hellman as co-executor of the estate.

     She alleged that Hellman had not advised her late 
     husband that he was entitled to tax benefits on 
     $300,000 in child support payments, which ultimately 
     cost him $450,000. She later withdrew her petition to 
     remove Hellman after a document was discovered in the 
     files of _another_ of Garcia's attorneys, showing that 
     Garcia agreed to file joint income tax returns and 
     pay the taxes.

  -- Hellman testified that shortly after Jerry Garcia's 
     marriage to Deborah Koons Garcia, she asked Jerry 
     Garcia to pay for a $1 million remodeling job on her 
     house. Hellman testified Jerry Garcia didn't have the 
     money so the remodeling work was never done.

  -- Hellman testified that Jerry Garcia's income between 
     1990 and 1993 grew from $1.6 million a year 
     to $2.9 million a year.

  -- Deborah Koons Garcia said outside court that Jerry 
     Garcia's estate is worth $6 million to $7 million.

LOL!  You are not programming.  You only think that you are programming.

Although you have not given any details, in all likelihood this "programming"
that you mention involves coding in Microsoft C#/.NET.

Coding in C#, or any other object oriented language, is *not* programming.
It is only arranging predetermined classes like a child will arrange 
toy blocks.

Real programming involves a low-level language such as C or even assembly
language to create complex digital structures based on fundamental elements
that address some problem.  That's not what takes place when employing C#.

Real programming involves an actual insight into and an understanding of
digital principles.  That's not what takes place when employing C#.

You are fooling yourself.  Using C# for "programming" is analogous to using
a paint-by-numbers kit to produce "art."

Real men use C or assembly.

Pussies use C#.

Yet programmers who would wipe the floor with a dimwit like you manage to do 
"real programming" with object oriented languages every day.

That's because real programmers wrote the classes that are then
blindly utilized by the pseudo-programming C# crowd.

If a C# coder had to write his own classes ... forget about it.
