Remember when you guys had Carter and he was in hot shit until he sold his fucking peanut farm or whatever?

Let’s be clear about this: Carter was never “in hot shit” about his farm. Carter put his farm in a blind trust proactively because he respected the emoluments clause and interpreted it broadly.

Yep, literally crazy.

When you can afford a pretty decent house as a shoe salesman

I definitely own Diablo and I definitely used Win2K, but I didn’t go out of my way to buy a weird special version of it. This leads me to believe the normal Windows 95 version would work on NT as well.

I distinctly remember running most, if not all, of my games on Windows 2000 (not ME). I mean, yeah, NT 4 was pretty hopeless for gaming, but 2000 was better.

Me, a Windows 2000 user:

Heh, I didn’t even get as far as typing anything. I clicked on the search box and it was at the top of the “popular searches” list.

There’s nothing more permanent than a “temporary” fix.

Many of our rights and freedoms only came about because people were willing to actually fight for them.

Just “many?” Try to name one that didn’t!

Reminds me of my college. The architecture building had an awkward floor plan and the civil engineering building was poorly constructed.

As long as you’re whining to the game publishers, not Linux people who are not only technically unable but also legally prohibited from doing anything about it.

It’s important to place the blame where it belongs.

More like Parabola, judging by the trajectory!

That man’s home address? /dev/lp0

Except Linux isn’t the dark side; Windows is. They are being freed from their cell, not entering it.

Earth was destroyed before it finished calculating. Of course the Question, as expressed by Arthur (who was part of said calculation), was wrong.

Never mind the issue of corrupted data from Ark B…

It’s a work computer. Talk to your IT department.

Frankly, you have no business setting it up yourself at all, unless you have a good reason to need it, explicit permission from your boss, etc. Or if you’re a software engineer or IT admin type employee yourself (but if that were the case you probably wouldn’t be asking this question).

Also, my experience is that if you as an employee need multiple operating systems (e.g. developing an app that supported Windows and OS X, as I did in a previous job), you should be furnished with a second machine instead of being expected to dual-boot. For a company, the hardware cost is trivial compared to the labor cost of your lost productivity screwing around with dual-booting.

I understand everybody’s got to start somewhere and I’m sorry if this comes across as harsh, but outside of a very limited set of circumstances (e.g. being the sole IT guy at a small company trying to self-teach), this is literally Not Your Job.

So, will this get published in a “corrections” section at the back of the paper that nobody reads, or will Le Parisien ignore it entirely?

*from, you mean. Welcome from the dark side.

Choices which don’t matter nearly as much as people like to pretend they do, no less.

If you’re having trouble deciding, just pick a popular (general-purpose) distro at random. Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Mint, Bazzite, even Arch – whatever, it’ll be fine, don’t worry 'bout it.

It’s pretty much just like installing Windows, except minus the parts where they force you to create a Microsoft account and badger you to accept spying and such.
