"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

i was in b&n last weekend idly browsing for yosmas gifts and at least 1/8th of the shelf space of an entire floor was devoted to various dummies books. it was kinda arresting when i realized that.

computer help books are probably one of the biggest profit centers of brick and mortar bookstores if u think about it

so in windows 10 november edition for workgroups, you can right-click desktop apps in the start menu and get a handy "uninstall" shortcut to open add/remove programs

it opens the classic control panel instead of the new one :downsgun:

i put windows 10 in a vm and this really confused me, because a bunch of other apps would uninstall, or say they were going to uninstall, but one of them brought up appwiz and i didn't understand why. it still won't let me uninstall minecraft or the xbox app or iheartmusic or flipboard though

iheartmusic, flipboard and minecraft are purely start menu advertising and not actually an installed app (unlike Candy Crush), the only way you can uninstall them is by right clicking their icons and selecting uninstall, they don't otherwise exist

xbox you can get rid of using the Remove-AppxPackage PowerShell command

idk about you but my vm does not have the uninstall command in the right-click menu for iheartmusic, flipboard, or minecraft: windows 10 edition beta. i haven't gone through the powershell or dism commands for removing them yet.

yeah once in a while an update comes out that puts them back on

eventually the start menu is just going to get flooded with ad-apps that you need to remove again every week

oh, right, you have to un-pin them to make them go away

you can't use the powershell/dism commands because they don't actually exist as an installed app

this happened literally right after i had finished upgrading the vm from windows 7. i uninstalled a bunch of those apps, and they came back. this is why microsoft is cool again.
