    This is exactly what happens to originality, common sense and creativity when the CEO is hired to slash and burn a company to an even more paranoid and absurd profitability level. Sure, Satya gives heart warming employee speeches and all but the writing is on the wall and the paranoia and back stabbing from upper management on down is underway. After
    8 years of that shit at my former workplace it wasn't surprising the ( my employer CEO ),cocksucker made the 2014 top five most wealthy and compensated CEO's in America. These guys areabsolute, state of the art capitalist nazi's and it isn't stopping. Shareholders are increasingly unleashing these "terminators", while drooling over the prospect of massive
    profits and favorable wall street "atta boys". Ballmer and Gates most certainly love having these guard dogs come in and clean the place up, protecting their legacies
    and ensuring the insane flow of wealth will never cease, they are washing their hands and heading into the sunset.

    RT is only for ARM tablets though of which there are only 2 currently, lumia 2560 and surface 2. The old RT sucked because yes it had a desktop, no you can't use it. They did the same as apple do for running iOS applications and require every desktop application to be digitally signed with some sort of certificate. Then they removed the means for developers to sign their applications and didn't provide a nice button to turn that "feature" on or off. Effectively limits desktop applications to those published by Microsoft specifically for RT, that in turn is limited to the standard windows settings screens etc, internet explorer and office. Plus its ARM anyway so you needed applications to be ported to ARM, which requires source and the ability to compile the source, again fucked over because MinGW and cygwin cannot target the win32 api on THUMB_2, Borland doesn't either and that leaves you with msvc for C compilers, there are a lot of open source projects out there with gnu'isms that will not compile under msvc and require a lot of effort to do so. You get .net on the desktop and ikvm works to thethen run Java on that (albeit terribly at best). 8.0 had a jailbreak btw to run desktop stuff, 8.1 locked it out and a new one was never released, I think everyone got sick of it and moved to the cheap atom tablets that did what they want in the first place.
    If you want a windows tablet. Get an Intel one. Proper windows, not RT shit.

    There won't be many RHD Lada's on the east, and also you might want to look for Lada 2107 instead of Riva.

    I want a Zil. A Zil 130. A Zil 130 truck.

    I think you mean eastern europe. West takes you towards france, spain, britain and the ocean. East takes you to russia.

    Also, odd, RHD lada, dont see many of those.

    Doesn't matter, he's american, needs LHD anyway.

    Nah, Central europe will do, i just found this by a quick czech used cars for sale sites. There are lots of them leftover in Germany, Poland... Czech rep. Central europe it is.

    The "Lada Riva" was only marketed in the UK and was RHD only, everywhere lese they were called Lada 2107

    Oh right, i didn't check where he was from, but since he was reffering to "Riva" i though he was from the UK.

    Screenshots are meh. You ask questions that are usually answered. "Contributing" should be applied lightly, because I mostly see posts from you that are on the brim of being on topic, so I can't fully say you never ever contribute. You can thank a person for a mod by pressing the thanks button, if you have nothing else to say besides thanks in the post you'd make. Almost every single help post you have made is generalized, and not helpful enough to actually do much.

    Basically, what I could say about your entire posting history is this: It is diluted beyond reason. You could easily drop that post count down or make it worth something if you concentrated the usefulness of your posts. 6677 may have 4k posts, but he has contributing, and non-diluted content in his posts.

    Something I'll admit to on that part. Its not always entirely on subject. I think I have written about 2 strokes, AMD modules and all sorts of other crap where it isnt exactly needed, certainly non-diluted though.
    I do have a tendancy to write monster posts :/ And yet I can never write assignments for school :p

    You probably have the highest average words per post count. Except for maybe Estama. A few of his posts were freaking novels xD. He really goes into depth explaining things.
