No idea ... but a suggestion from google (how reliable is that ) is that it harks back to the first world war and starving, begging French people holding out their hands to troops and shouting "Donnez" which means give.
Very poetic, but no idea if its true.

Sounds quite likely when you consider the whole "Mayday" situation which is actually "M'aidez" which means "help me".
In hard times speak French.
According to Evangeline, who happily has returned to the fold, the next government briefing on cv19 is going to be partly in French.
"Restez à la maison, sal fils de pute"
That should work.

I can't remember when windows was good since XP. Some of the newer versions almost encourage defenestration. XP did seem like MS finally got it right, at the time at least. And the sequel was Vista! How could they have got it so wrong? I always liked the Vista default screen-saver though, I still use it. But the best thing about Windows for years was its easily pirate-able nature. There used to be a sport of 'who could nick it the fastest'. There was a time when my PC was run on 100% hooky stuff. Heady days! But now they give it away for free as policy, because MS want to grab a slice of the 'we have your details' empire. Which is evil, but they're all at it. You can run but you can't hide! I've been using it since windows 3.1. Every other release has always been the best strategy for users. What MS were up to I have no idea - huge tax write offs? There must be a reason. They can have my details with pleasure. The corner of my life that goes on the computer is tiny and random. If anyone bases their idea of me on that they must be confused. |

OK. tablet arrived, LINX 12X64 or summat like. I read instruction, got everything working except the keyboard driver software. no help from support, what do I do now? Oh dear, Trying to think back, I recall something I took to be an advert kept popping up, and eventually I clicked "don't show me this again'' Obviously it was the keyboard driver, how do I restore it? PS the onScreen keyboard is now White on grey, so I can see the keys, lol |

Press Windows key + W Key.
Type Troubleshooting and click on Troubleshooting.
Click on Hardware and Sound.
Click on Hardware and Devices to run the default troubleshooter.
....but as you've blocked me you may not get this... what a shame.

Yes, blocked a few yesterday, you are not alone I'm thankful for that, but I'd far rather stay alone. I wonder if the others know they too have been blocked... could be a good game to guess. |

It's incredibly shocking and very very disconcerting to consider the fact someone might be ignoring ones input.
Very troublesome.
