Definitely. Cartoons used to have to market themselves as being the show on the living room screen - something parents need to not just allow, but enjoy. Now too many of them are just something you put on the tablet to shut the kid up for a few hours.

A lot of golden-era CN shows struck me with how different a show they were for adults. Dexter’s Lab is another excellent one for this. I loved that show when it came out, and re-watching it more recently, I’m amazed how much of the show I didn’t get back then.

Edit: Sorry, replied to the wrong post.

While I agree the ending of the Syfy series failed, I thought it was pretty clear Starbuck’s resurrection was a literal miracle and the song guiding the fleet to Earth were acts of God, the same God Gaius and Head Six discuss at the end.

Ah. Very well, then.

That’s a little under US$270,000 a year. Quite honestly, I’d be surprised if that’s higher than the costs of regulatory compliance in Western nations especially the US for companies operating completely legal.

I have Win7 Ultimate on my home PC. And yes, updates are an important part of functionality and it certainly relates to its usage.

Unwanted stores and links to stores are ads.

You’re not reading my posts, so why should I read your replies? I already addressed your question. I made an exception for this update using the way Microsoft recommends and it undid it repeatedly. I said this already.

I’m sure it isn’t Microsoft’s fault Windows 10 adds an app store for Windows, an Xbox app (when I no longer own an Xbox), etc...

So what you’re saying is Microsoft lures you in with a free “upgrade,” then when you accept it, upsells you to regain lost functionality?

I consider adding animated links to stores and paid content on my start menu ads. Yes, I know you can remove them, but I shouldn’t have to.

This guy either works for Microsoft, or is religiously devoted to the idea that a newer OS is by definition better and is itself a reason to change. I see him arguing with pretty much everyone here that forced updates, random unintuitive UI changes, and harassing users of older OSes is somehow a good thing.

And I, smartly in my eyes, don’t like it when an OS randomly breaks things because it’s “in my best interest” while giving me no notice of what it’s doing and less ability to control what my computer is doing. I’m sure my out-of-date graphics driver is a huge gaping security hole that will undoubtedly bring about the…

I may be “bad” at using computers, but you’re bad at reading, or else you’d have noticed where I said that I did, in fact, made an exception for this update. Repeatedly. Which, no less, is something you have to download a tool from Microsoft to do, even though it was a built-in option in previous Windows. And…

Adam Clark Estes is well known for taking any opportunity whatsoever to take petty, childish swipes at Uber.It’s really one of Gizmodo’s more annoying things lately.

How annoying of us to give a shit what is downloaded and installed on our computers.

That’s literally where both the use of greentext arrows and “>implying” comes from.

Terminator: Gynysys and Avatar are not exactly selling points.

If you’re the kind of person who thinks “>implying” is a thoughtful response, you should be having this conversation somewhere more on your level.
