With your subject, "Liberals and humorless avert your eyes", you have no one left to read your post.
Fortunately, no one's paid you any mind.

I don't have anything against liberals, that was the guy who used to post things with a similar warning years ago. Besides that, I expected nothing else. Tell them to do something and they will do the exact opposite. I sure would have something sexist to say about that...

I was just noting that the subject excluded everyone.
Just reading what you're writing.

I just did a search. The original was not much better: Liberals and foreigners avert your eyes. Dang, was that really six years ago?

And found it quite amusing at that. I always thought that "forked" was what you were when your code didn't work!

Exactly. But it's easy: It's just a big chunk of code!

Nonpareil?
Kinda sounds like parrot, means the same as incomparable?

So it's something similar then, a word that means incomparable that sounds like a bird.

Thanks to the visual studio 15.3 update debacle I'm doing a full system reinstall so I can go back to update 2 and actually get some work done.
I'm running windows 10 under bootcamp on my MacBook and so was writing a long email while repartitioning the drive.
I'm almost at the end of the email when mac pops up a window asking for my password to 'make some changes'. Given that macOS asks for your password every 30 seconds (the irony of those 'I'm a mac / I'm a PC ads is thick and ripe) I enter my password without thinking.
And so macOS reboots the machine. No warning. No prompt to save my work. No nothing. Poof.
I'm sorry I ever gave you a hard time Windows.
cheers

Quote: I'm almost at the end of the email when mac pops up a window asking for my password to 'make some changes'.
If such notification dialog box (e.g. 'making some changes') has appeared, you should have never enter a password immediately. Instead, all what you have needed is to save all your work done and then confirm making those system-wide changes such as performing the hard drive partitioning. Normally, it's not a good practice to do some work on the machine that is currently performing the system maintenance tasks. It basically refers to either using of the latest Windows 10 or other OS, and macOS Sierra as well. Thou, under Windows 10 there's a software that makes this process more intelligent. For example, Paragon Hard Disk Manager when run directly under Windows (not booted from usb stick drive), to backup a system partition, first creates and inf-file for batch processing, and right after asks to restart the computer. When computer is booting up the next time, it executes the inf-file that starts the backup utility or partitioner. After system specific tasks are completed it performs a final reboot with all changes made.
And also, when macOS Sierra is about to apply system-wide changes such as updates, a tiny dialog appears on the upper right corner of the desktop, notifying that it's time to reboot your machine. Normally, the following process won't continue and the system will not reboot until you've toggled a button within this dialog. So be careful with it.
Since you've typed in a e-mail message text, probably there should have been an auto-save for the document you've created. I mean that probably a temporary file was created at a certain location under macOS system partition and has been updated timely. Just search for this file, it must contain the document you've created.

Did you notice my comment about macOS asking for your password every 30 seconds? The OS trains you to just enter it and move on. I still to this day get angry when I think about how disparaging Apple was to Microsoft during the Vista days and then look at how macOS has become the master of needlessly asking for passwords.

Not if you're manually updating the OS.
Maybe I didn't explain myself: I start an OS update (that takes quite a while) and while it installs I'm typing an email. A 'enter your password' prompt comes up with the wording that it wants to 'make some changes'. Not 'restart the machine'. So I'm assuming it's writing some system level files and soon it'll ask me to restart the machine - at which time I'll fire off the email and let it restart. It didn't prompt the restart - it immediately restarted with zero warning.
It's not earth shaking, but it was interesting to me given the angst surrounding windows 10 restarts that have everyone up in arms. It was a 'wow - windows at least gives you a fighting chance'
cheers
