        w10 on my bootcamped macbook is SOOO much faster than w10 on my super-duper i7, m2.ssd, you beut, balls n all laptop, so much faster. battery life is much better as well. I reckon if my macbook dies i'll get another and bootcamp that.

        huh - something seems likely bad with your super-duper computer.

          Maybe he meant super-pooper computer but his fingers typed duper.

            So windows updates strike again.
            I ran this :
            Open regedit.exe

            HKeyLocalMachine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\

            Add 32-bit DWORD Value: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy with a value of 1

            Terminals started connecting as soon as we add that DWORD

            and site started working properly as soon as it was saved.

            So the windows 7 machine got an update? cause we know the Windows XP machines weren't getting any.

              And the issue I have most with this is the way this is stated.

              interest free 12 month loan for a new laptop

              So if he fails to pay this back in 12 months is there a fee or rate hike?

              Payroll deductions, I pay a percentage of the total amount. if I get a new job, they will take the remainder of what I owe out of my last check.

              So you are beholden to the company and they are in fact making withholdings against your paycheck so they can get paid first.

              This is loan-shark 101. I get paid first, screw you needing food, rent money or literally anything else.

              Call it what you will - many companies offer this. If you aren't good enough in your fiances to the point where you're going to starve - well, that's really on you.

              in this case you're trading the 'flexibility' of not paying the loan for getting an interest free loan.

              As much as it may be interest free it isn't without a cost.

                  The supposed freedom to be able to skip paying if you find yourself needing some extra cash?

                    One of my Black Pearl plants has started to ripen the chillies... one so far, this season looks like I will get a good harvest.
                    My Trinidad Scorpion has a couple of flowers, so they might be ready by April but my Habanero probably won't have anything this season as I had to trim it (growing up too fast) to promote strengthening of the main stem (lost 4 -6 flowers) but next year will be grand!

                    If you give them a bit of phosphorus heavy fertilizer, they will be much more likely to set more flowers. Look for something labeled "bloom booster" or whatever... As long as the middle number is the highest in the N-P-K ratio.

                            Or just remove the entire thing. I got so sick of how utterly crappy WordPress was that I started charging 4x (I usually charge about $110 per hour normally) my rate just for WordPress, slowly my WordPress requests began falling off and I've never been happier. Until recently where I made it clear I was accepting no new projects at all since I'm working on some other big things, I still got the occasional WP request even at such a massive rate. What a huge turd, but made some OK money, but the headaches, my god the headaches.

                                @siringo nadner and his green thumb lol

                                Definitely not a green thumb. Plants have to have a purpose for me to care for them.
                                My top three reasons for putting effort into plants

                                • Provides shade
                                • Produces stuff to eat
                                • Mrs nadnerB doesn't want it to die

                                I don't care if it looks pretty, if it doesn't meet the criteria listed above... it's on its own.

                                With just a balcony to work with I am reduced to "edible or GTFO"

                                I grow some mean Jalapenos for a Canadian which makes me giggle every time I think about it 🙂

                                    I ran this :

                                    Add 32-bit DWORD Value: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy with a value of 1

                                    Terminals started connecting as soon as we add that DWORD

                                    and site started working properly as soon as it was saved.

                                    So the windows 7 machine got an update? cause we know the Windows XP machines weren't getting any.

                                    Yes, For some reason it was installing a monthly roll up - causing communication issues.
