Sorry for you to realize that I actually care about civil liberties and women's rights. I know that makes me evil (apparently).
Oh, really? I care about those things, too. Let's be evil together!

- Oz

- Crossover fiction between Wizard of Oz and Fire Twister? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3350436/
FUN FACT: I was thinking of Into The Storm, a different shitty forgettable movie-- but the fact that someone wasted money ripping off a movie that no one saw is even more amazinger.

@Lorne-Kates Maybe it's a glitch in the Matrix. Sort of like when the Berenstein Bears got changed to the Berenstain Bears.

It's Microsoft's new policy: "the OS must be busy doing random shit at all times. The user is not allowed to know what the OS is doing or interfere with it in any way", aka "fuck you we own your computer now".

Maybe not, but it sure seemed to me that you did. My impression, from your very first post after Trump was declared the winner, is that you completely lost your shit. Frothing at the mouth would be an accurate description, IMHO. Maybe your opinion was the same before the election, but the way you have expressed yourself since then has shown an unwillingness to consider the possibility that any different opinion may be due to anything other than blatant malice.

It's Microsoft's new policy: "the OS must be busy doing random shit at all times.
On my work laptop, this translates to, "We'll keep the processor and disk so busy that the battery charger can't keep up. The battery will slowly drain all day, even while it's plugged into the mains. In fact, we'll work it so hard that task manager will report the CPU speed as faster than the reported maximum frequency, even though it's only doing anything 'useful' 40 – 60% of the time."

- Go to weather.com
- No, I don't care about school buses on icy roads or Christmas trees or Nevada slopes. I want weather and weather only!
- Find and click "10-day forecast".
- Get sent to the forecast for a tiny town in a different state.
- Enter my ZIP code.
- Get sent back to the front page with articles about school buses on icy roads and things hatching in Christmas trees.
- Find and attempt to click "10-day forecast".
- Page finishes loading and jelly-potatoes a wild "Photos & Videos" link right under my cursor as I click.
- Curse and click back.
- Wait, and wait, and wait for page to load. When I think it's safe, I try to click "10-day forecast."
- Page jelly-potatoes a wild "Photos & Videos" link right under my cursor as I click, again.
- Give up on finding a weather forecast. I'm sure it's wrong anyway.

- Google for "weather {place}" and get immediate results.
- Curse idiocy of going to weather.com in the first place.

an idioton windows 10?If so, Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom of rolling up everything bundled together, may have fucked up your network interfaces.
First possible solution is to shut down. Not restart. Shut down. Why? Because MAGIC.

Maybe… though I've seen other operating systems in strange states too. The wurst of the wurst is when the wifi will connect for about 30–60 seconds, and then disconnects in a huff. So far, I've observed that on at least three different OSs even when they've just been clean booted, so it's not the obvious…
