Oh, I actually meant Windows at home. Windows at work is definitely problematic.

But at home, for my own stuff, Windows just works, with zero setup or maintenance hassle. I used to do the whole Linux thing, had set up dual boot (again for games that only work on Windows ) it was not only not fun, what was I getting out of it? I found myself not even booting to Linux because it literally was not providing me with anything I needed.

    I'm one of those. I don't know if you realize or not, but there are a stupid number of examples of rich people commiting rather horrible crimes and never seeing jail.

    I'm absolutely all for Trump facing consequences. But I'll believe it when I see it. This country is made for the rich.

    A lot of people swear by this whole "death of the author" philosophy because it let's them ignore the literal stated intent of the author in favor of whatever pet theory they have. Which is fine, but you can't use it in a debate about theories about the work. There isn't a right answer to what you want to believe, but there often IS a right answer to what the actual author actually intended, especially modern authors in the age of information.
