Problem not just the OS...
It's probably a lot to do with all the corporate 'bloatware' that *has* to get up and running before the user can log on.
Typical call centre attitude to timekeeping though.

just how often are they 'allowed' to miss classes, before the *Border Agency* comes looking for them with a one-way ticket 'home'?
"I'm sorry <insert politically correct gender identifier>, you appear to have missed two lectures this term. You have failed to comply with your student visa conditions, and are booked on the next flight to <insert destination>."
"Sick, you say, ah well, too bad"
I knew it didn't!
<no you didn't>
<yes he did, shut up you>
<jeez, will you two chill out>
<no> <fuck off hippy>
<FFS, you three, keep the noise down, he'll HEAR us>
<sorry> <shhh> <bummer>
Did someone say something? I thought I heard voices a moment ago. Must be my imagination. Need to relax....
"MPs are elected peers not appointed slaves"
NO.
MP's are elected *representatives*, not peers. It's just that most of this lot give the impression that they believe they have a God-given right to 'be in charge'. This baw-heid is a prime example of this arrogance.
They need to be reminded, regularly, that this is NOT the case.
Unfortunately, most of the "I've always voted <insert party>, just like my father, grandfatther..." sheeple have forgotten that their MP should be putting them first, and the 'party' second.
Congrats on getting rid of your resident numpty. Just remember;
BHO ain't actually Prez 'til Jan 20, and I'm sure there's a mess of good ol' boys muttering things like "You ain't President yet, Boy!"
Do you really think that all the lovely *tools* your Security Agencies now have are going to be given up lightly? Or in a hurry?
It's a small step you've taken. The end of the trip is a LONG way off.
You misunderstand somewhat, in regard to motorbikes.
They won't bother installing them on the bikes, they'll just insert them in the bikers!
Eventually, they'll inset them in us all.
Theory is, if the traffic is moving at a slower maximum speed, there is a lower frequency of 'shockwaving' (car brakes slightly, car behind a bit harder, car behind a bit harder still, then eventually a car stops, then the next, you get the picture, doesn't require an 'incident', hence when you do eventually get moving you get that "WTF was that all about" feeling) and the traffic actually moves quicker on average, therefore travelling a greater distance.
it just went away to lick its wounds and come up with a new, friendlier* approach. This will, ultimately result in free, Gov't approved and issued SatNavs for all.
Whether you want one, or not.
* The friendlier approach involves the Road Toll Troll replacing its stick with nails in, for a more modern, shiny electronic one. At the end of the day though, it's still a bloody great stick. And it still wants to beat the shite out of us with it.
Road Pricing (by whatever means)
Restricted Air Travel (not 'green')
ID cards (if they get their way)
All communications logged / tapped (if they get their way)
Spot the pattern.
Welcome to NuLabouria
Travel Authorisation and Identity Papers Please, Citizen.
do you have to be to continue to do this.
Go to your local Tescosainsburymorrisonsasda supermarket
Buy a bluetooth headset (from about a tenner upwards)
Either use it or don't use the phone whilst you drive.
(and if you're mobe hasn't got bluetooth, buy one of the wired hands-free kits @ about £2)
will now return to VM?
Exactly.
Win / Win for Rupe again.
It's all in the tactics. You only have to remember what happened to ITV Digital after Rupe 'let' them outbid him for the footie ("Oh, shit, we bid HOW MUCH? We're screwed!). And who picked up a lot of the pieces?
Just a note to remind you to take your medication, as you have clearly forgotten.
What's that you say, you're not on medication, you're just fed up with all the whining noobs.
Well, congratulate yourself for being ever so clever as to be able to use all those complicated ifconfig, iwconfig and dhcp command line tools.
Give yourself a pat on the back, Mr Clever Clogs.
I'm sure your long, hairy simian arms can reach all the way round there, no problem.
"South East Engerlund" then yes.
Personally I was LMFCO, especially after all the build-up, hype and fanfares.
Did feel sorry for the poor fuckers caught up in it all though, with the exception of a few, well publicised, 'celebrity' incidents of course. (No names, no pack drill, for legal reasons obv.)
Don't think anyone else up here in the Land of Jock was 'embarrassed' by it either.
Hopefully, for those gullible souls who rush to buy this, an old school "plain brown paper wrapper" will be the order of the day.
Sticking with the 'old school' theme, maybe it'll come in a "Lucky Bag".
or if you're 'really old school', that'd be a "Jamboree Bag" (come on, don't be shy, I know that there are LOTS of you out there old enough to remember those)
