here we say crap meaning garbage.
load of crap means lies, liar liar pants on fire.
crappy means someone got lazy on the job and the work has to be done over.
crap can also be poop, lol, usually referring to dog doodoo or pigeon poop.
never heard anybody say jolly good.
who is above the admiral in a royal navy? would it be the prime minister? are there levels of minister?
mebbe i should watch reruns of 'yes, minister'
Well, if you follow the show "Yes, Prime Minister" it would be Sir Humphrey Appleby who quite often got the better of the Prime Minister.

"Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister" are excellent shows that pull the curtain back on the political game, and tell it like it is! Suggested viewing for people with more than half a brain who give a damn.
Morning. Big bright blue/grey sky and absolutely frigid a little after dawn here :)

Windows 10 will, I believe, dual boot. However, if you want the ability to boot without going through Windows 10 (and to access the BIOS directly) then you have to avoid one of the install options, connected with UEFI or Secure boot as I recall. However, I don't know if you can dual boot using the version of an older Windows that you upgraded from - I think the upgrade invalidates the key for the older version.
Deputy Prime Minister?
Primate Minister
Someone with a monkey grip on stuff :)
No, the Prime Minister's "Permanent Secretary". The head of the civil service the guy who tells the Prime Minister what he needs to know and do. Sort of like the US President's "Chief of Staff" but more so. The Permanent Secretary is the guy who knows where all the skeletons are and in who's closets. The Civil Service runs the country, the Prime Minister just sits at a desk for a few years making plans that never materialize, politicing, attending banquets, meeting foreign dignitaries, and getting his picture in the newspaper. While the Civil Service and Treasury and Foreign Office quietly carry on merrily with their own agenda.
As Sir Humphrey explains about his career in the Civil Service "Bernard, I have served eleven governments in the past thirty years. If I had believed in all their policies, I would have been passionately committed to keeping out of the Common Market, and passionately committed to going into it. I would have been utterly convinced of the rightness of nationalising steel. And of denationalising it and renationalising it. On capital punishment, I'd have been a fervent retentionist and an ardent abolishionist. I would've been a Keynesian and a Friedmanite, a grammar school preserver and destroyer, a nationalisation freak and a privatisation maniac; but above all, I would have been a stark, staring, raving schizophrenic.".

I had a Win7 / Win10 dual boot setup on my Win10 laptop. Windows 10 in its current state really isn't all that bad, but there was this ONE FEATURE that was royally screwing me over at every possible opportunity and there's zero actual workarounds.
"[App Name] has been blocked from accessing hardware settings"
It would do this ALL. THE. TIME. Especially on a number of my games like Subnautica. It also did it to Firefox multiple times, and after a while it'd even say "Windows operating system has been blahblah" which I found amusing and ironic. The worst part of it all is it'd crash the programs I was using when it blocked it from whatever, except for Age of Mythology (It'd jut start lagging real bad) and the "Windows OS" which I have no idea why it'd say that...
As for the upgrade thing, yeah you can't dual boot using a key you upgraded from. You'd have to have a separate one for the OS you want to dual boot into.
Friend shared this pic on Facebook earlier. It's a quote from the end of Halo 3 that he felt suited Memorial Day quite well.
"For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure...sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight; our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten."
what a nightmare XO
...I wouldn't compromise any of my systems, but that is me. if you want to maintain control of your system, 10 is a bust as it forces updating on you without any choice. The whole "free" offer is nothing more than a "beta test".
...and Cortana is a total bloat as even if you "turn it off" it continues to run running in background.
The question is whether Windows 10 will do the things that you want to do better than the other two systems. If you're well served by them, then there's no need to change. Windows 10 does have drawbacks that the other two don't have, like spyware and forced updates.
Remember, the cheese is only free when it's attached to a trap.

I stayed with Windows ME on one graphics computer until last year because the newer OS's wouldn't do what I needed them to do, run Corel Paint 5. (It had one feature that I had to have, and wouldn't run on XP and above). Then after the motherboard fried, I discovered Paint.net, which had my needed feature. "Newest" isn't always "best".
All those privacy concerns have been dealt with...you can now turn off every one of those things. Diane accidentally clicked on the button and our laptop was upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1. I went through it and turned off every one of those things that sends info. I wonder who at Microsoft thought it was a good idea, in this day of hacks and breaches, to let a stranger download updates from my personal computer? Can you say back door?
I have read that it is more stable. I just don't want to upgrade if there are things that I have that will no longer run. As for forced updates...with the Pro version you can delay the update for a given period of time...months, if I remember correctly. That will give enough time for the bugs that ride along to be crushed. Only the Home version owners have no choice. I would never put a Home version on my computer. The laptop came with Win 8 Home, so nothing I could do there.

So, you consider DAZ|Studio 4.x cheese in a trap?

It makes you want to buy content! Lots and lots of content!!
Actually I've given up being paranoid about Microsoft and Google and Norton and Adobe. I always automatically update everytime anyway. As for performance, I'm quite happy driving a Buick instead of a Ferrari. And I keep serious multiple backups of my data because of decades of unfortunate experiences with the old machines that were carefully manually tended. For me the machine is no longer the prize, it's just an appliance. I reserve my paranoia for other things. I treat browsing the web like wandering the back alleys of a dangerous city. I don't shout my personal or business details carelessly. My passwords for everything are unique and I change them everywhere religiously. I run multiple router filters and machine ID checks for my wireless network. I never use torrent systems. I keep the cameras on my systems covered or unplugged when not in use. I rarely grab free software but if I do it's straight from the horse's mouth, not a warehouser. And my entire life is not kept in a loseable device. I actually still get paper bills in the snail mail.
Yes! This.
what if the main character didn't have a character arc?
what if the character arc was for his jr minister assistant, secondary character?
haz to finish up an access program, but i want to think about snafus.
getting the impression, from what i'm reading, it seems like, a snafu happens when lower down the command chain, hide woes in the fieldm 'yeah, it's all great sir'; so, the higher in the command chain make decisions on, like, wishful thinking.
A very lucrative trap, considering how many thousands of dollars I've spent on content since getting the free Studio!
A tempting trap, indeed.
tee hee
an episode i never saw >.<
who's sonic screwdriver is bigger lol does size matter?
Ooh day of the doctor!
saw John Hurt end of that clip !!
I say it all the time ;)
The next rank up from admiral is Admiral of the Fleet. It's equivalent to Field Marshal in the army (NATO code OF-10). There is no higher rank, and it's largely ceremonial in peacetime (currently Prince Charles and Lord Boyce are admirals of the fleet). In overall charge of the navy is the First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff (1SL/CNS). An admiral. He sits on the Defence Council and the Admiralty Board.
The first sea lord reports to the Chief of Defence Staff (also an admiral, general or air chief marshal), who reports to the Secretary of State for Defence (a government minister)
yep, they're real...
the tentacles can be very very long--even if the jellyfish's dome is small. and they sting. i've seen be hundreds of them washed up on the beach, after a storm on the gulf coast. have to be really careful walking barefoot, then...
reading this thread today is making me feel like i had an exotic childhood. i grew up with man o'wars and mesquite trees around...
mesquite beanpods make great kid-war ammo, btw. which was good, because we didn't have snowballs where i grew up.

There's a good line in one of the "Yes, Prime Minister" episodes where it's explained while talking about government waste, that in the British navy there are (a great large number) of Admirials and only (a miniscule number of ships).
(sorry I can't find the exact quote)
