Thread terrorists!
Nah, we're just having a bit of fun. There's too many bad things happening in the real world, so why not try to balance things up a little here in the forums?
As for leaking the global warming stuff over here, it wasn't the intention, as such. No, it was more tongue-in-cheek to tie Satya Nadella, and thus MS to the crackpot idea by providing the software to falsify records and create false models, etc.

This thread is all about oops. Any and all oops are welcome providing they conform to the 'not so standard' model. Details when they can be found.

Speaking of Oops, I always liked Weird Al's parody of Britney Spears' "Oops, I Did It Again."
And moving right along here.... MS is having more oopsies than most in recent times. Apart from a few delusional fanboi comments, and from others who are still adjusting to life in a strait jacket, I've not heard a good word about Microsoft in ages. This trying to force people into using Win 10 is pissing of a lot of people, and not just power users and affectionados who have set up Win 7 or 8 to their liking. Nor is it just the computer literate and people who know a thing or two. No, I had and old bird [lady] comment when she heard an old friend and I discussing the crap coming from Redmond these days. She told us in no uncertain terms that she was sticking with Win 7 and that "Microsoft can go f**k itself."
Hehe, she would have easily been in her 80's, and I didn't expect that kind of language from her, but she sounded so annoyed with MS at the time that it was completely understandable. Fortunately, she has a great, great grandson who knows a bit about PCs, and he told us that he installed GWX Control Panel for her.
I saw something the other day that bothers me, and that is that MS is constantly reinventing and renaming the Win 10 upgrade precursors for Win 7 and Win 8.1. The article showed a rather long list of updates that install the means necessary to download and install Win 10 despite the user's past rejections of the OS. I wish that I had sent myself a link to the article [wasn't at home at the time] so I could link to it here, but there were 30+ Win 10 related updates listed, all of which are designed to persuade non-10 users, with forceful downloads and installations if necessary, to upgrade sooner not later... or not at all.
