Re: OT: Windoze
Well there's your problem, MS want's everyone to move "up" to Win10, I'm trying to avoid that for as long as possible. For the first time in a long time all my PCs are running the same OS, which is Win7, well except for the two laptops I'm currently deciding if I want to refurbish or not. The Lenovo Thinkpad with all the stupid propitiatory hardware updates just fine. What about the desktop? You ask. Starting last month the December security rollup failed to install. I finally got it to work, I guess, but the update manager didn't believe it, and kept offering to install it no matter what I did. Now because the January security rollup is available it no longer offers December, but, the January rollup fails with an unknown error code. I seem to be the only one in the known universe having this problem because searches on the error number or security update failures on this update return no information. I'd at least like some company in my misery. On 1/31/2017 1:22 AM, John wrote: Windows 10 failed. I reverted to Window 7 Pro 64-bit. On 1/30/2017 3:47 PM, P. J.

Re: OT: Hidden Figures (for my fellow Americans -- mostly)
"Hidden Figures" is delightful. I have been to see it twice, brought several other people to see it as well. I've been on a NASA space program movie and documentary kick since John Glenn passed away last month. Hidden Figures hit the theaters at just the right moment for me and brought me back to my days at NASA/JPL. I met Mary Jackson—I imagine just shortly before she retired—at a Mathematics symposium at JPL. One of my friends at the Lab made of point of introducing me to her. I didn't know her story during the time featured in the movie, but I knew she had had a long career at NASA when I met her. The movie brought tears to my eyes, particularly the moment when the judge gave her permission to attend the classes that enabled her to become an engineer. My gosh, what a momentous thing! Such sharp minds, and such tenacity and motivation to succeed despite the odds. Just amazing people… The movie does justice to the story. It is almost shameful that it has taken this long to have their story told to the world.
