Millennials who have time to waste will like this. It harks back to the day when there were more Linux distributions than there were Linux users.
Ah, to be that young and have the illusion that you've got infinite time ahead of you. Clue: life goes by fast. Don't waste it. Before you know it, your 20s are behind you. Soon you realize you're in your 30s. Do you remember how your childhood seemed like it took forever and now adult years go by faster than childhood? Clue: the years go by faster and faster as you get older. Don't waste it.

So your lesson is to use Windows.

No, actually I use Linux. I have never owned a Windows box. Linux systems have become simple and dependable.
At work I have Windows, but I am not responsible for maintaining it. And they do an excellent job BTW. I run the same open source development tools and other applications on Windows as on Linux, so it works out fine for me.

I think he was saying, "Use Windows and die." But you would be astonished to learn how fast time seems to go by when you are almost 2400 years old. A week is like the snapping of your fingers. The entire era of the PC, and Microsoft, is such a piddling small part of the history of humanity, let alone of the Cosmos, that it hardly deserves mention. Unix, however, is eternal, replicating as it does the Mind of God and the very Structure of the Universe. I guess that is why engineers can't use it. Not broken enough.

Thank you
My theory is that your “clock” was s set when you are born then that second remains just as long at birth as at death it just the universe a second is getting shorter and shorter. Explains the accellorantion or star away from us without dark matter or other tricks.

The instances of time is the same, the perception on the other hand...
What seems to be going on is that as we grow older, we do not notice/remember individual moments that are similar to the ones we had before. Effectively the brain is applying a very aggressive de-duplication process to conserve storage. So those weeks of office drone work just stack one on top of another and is then flattened such that only the novel moments stand out. And with age comes less and less novel moments (unless one specifically go out and look for them).
