Radicalism will never be a good choice, neither yesterday nor tomorrow!
However, we must comply with a law, however absurd it may be. Or, revoke it forever!

NOTE: So do not complain about the radicals of other countries in defending your beliefs, no matter how absurd they may be!

NOTE 2: I have no religion or cult to follow, so I'm not assuming any ideology right now, okay?

As Winston Churchill put it:

"The disadvantage of capitalism is the unequal distribution of wealth; the advantage of socialism is the equal distribution of miseries."

Let me expound. In the traditional Navajo language there are no words for today or yesterday or tomorrow. There is only a word for now. Because the human mind works with language, there are no corresponding concepts for yesterday, etc. There is only the concept of now. There are many different nows, but they are always the omnipresent now. This concept of reality has transcended the day to day conception of going to school or going to work and of life and death itself and is the embedded picture of the Universe. Thus we do not back up our systems because that would be to defy our picture of the omnipresent now and plan for a tomorrow, that we can not conceptualize.

I hope you have system restore turned off then.

Hi there

@Rocky
@stealth2920

Do they have sets of traffic lights at any of these places -- if time is only "now" I'd hate to clear up the mess --or is it at junctions "Smith & Wesson always beats 4 aces".

I've been to parts of New Mexico and there are some trucks around that are probably as big as people's houses --hate to get in the way of those.

Seriously though -- respecting traditions is fine but wherever you have a load of people living together some sort of Law has to work or the whole thing becomes unliveable and just "Dog eats Dog".

Personally if I make a mistake - and I often do -- I can't see what's wrong if the thing can be reversed to undo the problem where possible,

Anyway I'm sticking to advice most people will sensibly follow -- before making any changes to your computers --have decent clean backups.

Cheers
jimbo

You guys. Everything is OK. The Universe always exists in the now. There will always be a now where my computer works perfectly, and there will always exist a now where my computer is bugged up beyond repair. Who cares? It is the nature of the world.

FWIW, I don't do backups either!
All my important stuff is in an old shoe box under my bed!!!

If there is a now surely there is a not now.

I hope so but I have read that they found Registry problems but I believe that is fud.

I don't really know for other registry bugs, but this one is alive and running:

Windows 10 bug prevents Registry backup creation
