I learned how to drive a stick in a church parking lot in 1995 with the instruction and patience of my then girlfriend.  We got married a few years later and eventually got our first new car, a 01 Volkswagon Passat.  She was never the least interested in looking at any car that was not manual.  106,000 miles later, I use it for my daily commute across Houston.  The car is still here, the girl is long gone.

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
