alphenor You can actually just hide the icon instead of selecting remind me later. That way it won't keep bugging you while using the laptop.

I have rarely started a rant here. This one will perhaps not provoke a salutary shock, but I think it is interesting. In the previous myLot site, if you did not agree with a response, you could tell it in a comment and start to...

alphenor @topffer I was exaggerating when I said heated debates. I actually like doing arguments, especially when the other person's opinions have flaws on it. As much as I'd like to do a debate, I'm not in the state of mind to do so...as I have a lot of stuff going...

alphenor uhh...deleting a response? I'd rather reply than delete since I'd make more cents. I am a fan of heated debates. with seriousness though, if one can't take criticisms then that person isn't suitable for discussions. edit: delete...

A study of twenty years worth of data done by Princeton University proves that the opinions of the average US voter mean diddly-squat to elected politicians. In fact, 90% of the time, public opinion has absolutely no influence...

alphenor Politicians not caring for the masses is a global problem. As long as they're being paid huge salaries by basically attending the sessions, there will be no shortage of those crocodiles (Philippines's local terminology for such politicians) attempting...

alphenor @topffer exactly what I'm thinking. I'd wait until they say that they can really fix it. Don't want to get upgraded and find out that they'll be releasing a Windows 10.1

alphenor well the very first thing I'd do is turn the modem/router off, unplug the power cord. Then after 5 to 10 minutes, I'd reconnect the cord, turn the router on. And there you go. Usually they just need to "rest" and cool off so that they can work properly.

alphenor If your ISP is one of the big networks, they might have WiFi hotspots where you can connect for free as long as you use a log-in for your account - NOT the WiFi name and password in your home connection but something else that you can identify by calling into...

alphenor @topffer wow. that second issue is so bad. well...not as bad as Samsung devices not recognizing a connection's DNS server. (which is kind of funny cause Samsung doesn't want to admit the manual fix) for me I might want to wait around 1-2 months (or even more...

alphenor Didn't have problems with 8.1 either. Only with Win 8 which we tried to use on our current Win 7 laptop. I can already see the possibility of having Windows 10.1.

alphenor Same here. I'm not really that scared about privacy issues since browsers have it anyway. I'm more scared about the bugs and the thought that I can't run (or even download) my favorite applications and games. To bug fixes (or Win 10.1) I shall go.
