Phil_Da_Lick is right, 
Copying a file, instead of driving to the library,
wasting gas, is not the same thing as stealing from a tip jar.

Would you report every file I copy to Walt Disney,
"The happiest place on earth", so they could sue me ? !

  Capitalism is freedom to do good _or_ bad.

  Socialism is important because society is important.
  What are we, if not social beings, part of a group ? !

    Most often, money can't buy you health;
    not mental health, not physical health.

    What else matters ? !

I update my copy of Windows 8 _once_a_year_, roughly.

Last time, it stalled for _hours_.
I had to reboot, modify shit (see below),
then re-run Windows Update, etc.

My home folder is "C:\\__", but I don't let Windows know that.

I had to manually re-rename the "C:\\__\\My Documents" folder
to "C:\\__\\Sys", modify the registry (as follows), 
and reboot a few times.
