Which do you recommend & why, please & thankyew

It depends on what type of porn you are searching for.  Some of the eastern European neo-tentacle orgy porn can only be accessed via Onion. Are you looking to hiding which gentleman's cinema you've been visiting from your spouse? It's difficult to give you a qualified answer without knowing what porn you're looking for. 😏
 

Irvine: I grab a burner phone from the 7-11 in Koreatown, connect to a Cambodian VPN, and surf to my heart's content. Grab a good signal from the neighbors across the road and then snap the phone into two, crush it and drop it in a recycling bin a few blocks away. If it gets picked up, those people get the blame. It's also a good system to send death threats and leave trails back against all those that done me wrong. I'm so effing passive-aggressive.

Porn runs smoother thru chrome. And that Cambodian VPN.

The above posts are the reverse of the trite saying "Ask a simple question, and you get a simple answer."

The technical info's useful, the criminal/porn angle may or may not be useful. Who'd have guessed that some members of the big yellow board had such skills, knowledge, and imagination? I was taking notes for future reference (on the tech bits).

I doubt it. They are probably using those AOL free dial-up CDs, along with Netscape 1.0.  After all, the Waters family in the Chum days of 1957, along with their guaranteed jobs for life used it.

Jody, as you well know, Eastern European tentacle porn runs very sluggish on Vista. Sure, the set-up is fine, but once all eight tentacles of that huge pink octopus starts getting aroused, there is extreme pixelation. I'm sure you can attest to W8 for, what you really love, as to the gradient pleasantries of those "money shots" and the stunning grace of all that squid ink.

Rubbish Jody.  Windows 10 is probably the best Microsoft OS there is.  It's not only secure but it's stable.  And it's also a sea change with MS.  Further, they're just going to to incremental improvements to Win 10 along the lines of what Apple did with OS X.  This is hugely beneficial for corporations as there is no new learning curve and for the average user who still can't find the old start button.  While I use Linux a fair bit, I do have Windows 10 on my laptop (for Office 365).  I'm glad to see MS hired a boss with some vision.  Personally I consider Microsoft to now be more innovative that Apple is. 

 

So ridding of their testing team and having insiders do all of their tests, and then releasing buggy updates is better?  I think you're the one spouting the rubbish.  The last update in April is causing lots of issues for users.

Windows 8x was plenty stable.  I don't know where you saw issue with it.  I really think you're just trying to be contrarian to be honest.  And yes Satya is bringing a sea change to Microsoft, pushing everything to the cloud.  So really Windows will take a backseat eventually.to other company initiatives.  That doesn't sound like an OS with a future in mind.

The OS is really just a conduit for telemetry gathering.  If that's what you like, then you enjoy it "slick" (sound familiar?)

Well, no I sometimes disagree with cGrant's or Irvine's posts, but they both bring some VERY VALUABLE ideas to the table.  Some see it as trolling, but that's not true.  Look, since Irvine came back, there has been more spirited posting on several topics than I've seen in quite ahile.

Just my two ...er, twenty cents.

 

I ask, AGAIN, why is someone having a differing viewpoint than the popular one considered "trolling"? I know what trolling is, heck, I've even done some of it myself. But. Not. Here. Have you ever considered that those with a similar opinion as mine are too scared to post here? They are afraid they'll get shouted down and labelled. After all, how do the majority here welcome those with differing points? They are grouped as "trolls" and insulted. And that is supposed to welcome an outsider? Nope.

I've been in the business long enough to accept the notion that you can't please everyone; nor should you try. After all, what makes for a compelling talk show? Caller after caller agreeing with the host/guest or a torrid opposing argument?

Imagine the Maury Povich show (where he does endless "who's the daddy" episodes), would you rather watch an hour of non-conflict where kids are praising and appreciating their fathers or chair-throwing hoodlums swearing they "never done her dirty"?

cGrant is not a troll.  cGrant is a simply a online personality that understands the modern reality of radio. Unlike almost all members here he doesn't dream of the past he accepts and works in the new reality. He just has a harder edge when getting his point across. Is it over the top?  Sure, but so are some of the comments from some old timers here who simply refuse to acknowledge the industry has changed because it had no choice.

Thank you. Using the label "troll" is so very loosely activated these days on the socials. Essentially, it has become anyone and everyone that disagrees with your opinion. Is my tone harsh on here? Admittedly, I confess that I could soften down my writing style, yes. Reading comments on socials or bulletin boards doesn't truly represent the spirit of the poster. I am NOT one that writes "lol" after every damn comment. Or "lmao" etc. I rather relish those that, respectfully, differ from my views. There is nothing more bland and boring than a bunch of "yes men" agreeing with a stance. (Think about it, if you are a talk radio fan, don't you find 37 sequential callers agreeing with the host b-o-r-i-n-g? The screener will most definitely put you through if you oppose the mass sentiments. Why? That's good radio.)

I won't name names, but this board does have trolls. Their posts are deliberately composed as throw-away one-liners to stir the excrement. Yet, you folks seem to ignore their troll-dem.

Just wait...  He'll answer every single thread, killing all discussion.  He's just warming up.

Prod Guy no one can kill discussion.

Technically speaking, ig could end a discussion, and he has once, to my knowledge, closed a thread, but that's rare.

Geez... I must be the odd duck. I'm a Mac person. It's incredible for voicework and doesn't seem to be a target for the ne'er do-wells. Also, as mentioned in this thread by others, surfing for all that Eastern-European Tentacle gentlemens cinema is a breeze. (Cambodian VPN optional).
