You could buy it without the OS and save money too...use a bootleg copy of Windows Server 2008 or Windows 7 or 8 and take the money and spend it on another quad core cpu for 8 cores or a better GPU..
There's no point in me using my progamming skillz to write anything because any program that's worth creating has already been created. It's all downhill from here.

His "personal history" is really just a bunch of cultural cliches, not personal observations. Theyr'e all news events not private experiences. People that were in their 50's when the moon landing took place didn't give a shit. Seriously they didn't know why we were doing that shit and didn't care.
And the fact that he's using 4chan shit is the dead giveaway..
Seriously, this guy sees history like a 30 year old creating a cool meme for 4Chan/b/ not like a real octogenarian..I know a lot of really old guys...there's several in my building and it's nothing like this..
The gamer thing is bs too as is the "I changed my life because of Maryln Monroe" shit too.
This guy is seeing the past through a Time Life history book not a real life lived.
And the stuff about feeling bad for the japs after the nuking is bs too
My sister's father in law was a big tug boat company vp and a former destroyer captain in the navy. He never stopped hating japs...japs were not seen as human beings back then...they were seen as evil insects...that generation was so racist it'd blow your minds.And I'm not talking about a few freaks doing sig heil shit. I"m talking about everybody; hot telephone operators, the manager of the grocery store bus drivers, everybody. It was as natural as drinking water.
Iran's Jews have given the country a loyalty pledge in the face of cash offers aimed at encouraging them to move to Israel, the arch-enemy of its Islamic rulers.
The incentives — ranging from £5,000 a person to £30,000 for families — were offered from a special fund established by wealthy expatriate Jews in an effort to prompt a mass migration to Israel from among Iran's 25,000-strong Jewish community. The offers were made with Israel's official blessing and were additional to the usual state packages it provides to Jews emigrating from the diaspora.
However, the Society of Iranian Jews dismissed them as "immature political enticements" and said their national identity was not for sale.
"The identity of Iranian Jews is not tradeable for any amount of money," the society said in a statement. "Iranian Jews are among the most ancient Iranians. Iran's Jews love their Iranian identity and their culture, so threats and this immature political enticement will not achieve their aim of wiping out the identity of Iranian Jews."
The Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv reported that the incentives had been doubled after earlier offers of £2,500 a head failed to attract any Iranian Jews to leave for Israel.
Iran's sole Jewish MP, Morris Motamed, said the offers were insulting and put the country's Jews under pressure to prove their loyalty.
"It suggests the Iranian Jew can be encouraged to emigrate by money," he said. "Iran's Jews have always been free to emigrate and three-quarters of them did so after the revolution but 70% of those went to America, not Israel."
Now let’s imagine that in a year from now, Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud
Abbas have not reached a peace deal.
All of the current problems are still there; but Israel is even more
isolated, the Palestinians are even more frustrated, and sitting in the midst of
an ever more unstable and chaotic region.
This week’s UN assembly might have put Israel and Palestine back in the
headlines – but it won’t solve the conflict. And soon enough, it will all fade
from view again.
And all the while, behind the scenes, Israel’s
demographic time bomb is still ticking away.
Arab Israelis have long had lower education, and higher unemployment
levels.
But the real problem is in the religious stream.
In religious schools, children don’t learn mathematics, science, or English;
only the Bible. All day, every day. And Haredi men are expected to – and do -
continue that Bible study for the rest of their lives.
It’s all funded by the taxpayers. And the taxpayers are… secular
Israelis.
What does it mean? Well, if the figures are to be believed, in less than 30
years, Israel will have a population where the majority either can’t, or won’t
join the workforce – putting an increasing, and impossible burden on the secular
minority to pay the taxes and serve in the army.
This, in the ‘Startup Nation’ – the country that prides itself on its hi-tech
sector. Israel has the ideas, the inventors, and the entrepreneurs – but
already, it has to import workers from overseas, because there aren’t enough
educated Israelis in the job market.
It’s not sustainable. Israelis know about it, and sometimes talk about it,
but Israel’s government does nothing. It’s just too hard – especially as the
political power of the ultra-religious is growing. It’s almost impossible to
form a government in Israel today without them.
Opposition – and resentment – is growing. Middle-class, taxpaying, secular
Israelis are already so angry about the mere cost of living – and that their
children cannot afford to buy or rent a home – that they have taken to the
streets in huge numbers.
But it’s hard to see how any government – however brave – is going to be able
to turn the ship around without committing political suicide.
Secular Israelis work, pay taxes, and serve in the army. Ultra-orthodox, or
Haredi Jews, don’t.
Secular Israelis are prepared to die for their country in battle, but have to
travel outside it to get married in a civil ceremony.
Not surprisingly, it’s a pretty sore point. Especially as the demographic
balance is shifting fast.
Secular couples have, on average, around two children per couple. Haredi
couples have closer to eight or nine.
And it’s changing the very identity of Israel – away from the secular,
socialist civil society it was created as in 1948 – to something quite
different.
To see it in action, you only need to take a peek inside an Israeli
school.
Israeli’s government funds three streams of education; regular state schools,
ultra-orthodox religious schools, and Israeli Arab schools.
Back in 1960, only around 15 per cent of Israeli children were enrolled in
religious or Arab schools.
That figure is now around 50 per cent. In 30 years, it will be almost 80 per
cent. That is a frightening statistic for the nation of Israel.
Former Mossad Head Says Haredim Biggger Threat To Israel Than Iran The former head of the Israeli secret service said Thursday during an army boarding school reunion that while Iran should be prevented from becoming a nuclear power, its capabilities are still “far from posing an existential threat to Israel.” “The growing haredi radicalization poses a bigger risk than Ahmadinejad,” Halevy said, adding that “the ultra-Orthodox extremism has darkened our lives.”
Let’s imagine for a moment that at this time next year, by some
miracle, Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas meet on the White House lawn to
sign the accord that will create the nation of Palestine. All disagreements are
forever resolved – from where the borders of the two countries will lie, to how
they will share Jerusalem as their capital.
Let’s also assume that all Muslim and Arab nations will keep their promise to
recognise Israel – and that the militants of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad
are consigned to the dustbin of history.
Israel is finally free to realise its full potential as a nation. Or, to put
it another way – Israel is finally free to let its own internal divisions and
hatreds tear it apart.
If you think Israelis and Palestinians don’t see eye to eye, the gulf between
secular Israelis and the ultra-orthodox religious is probably just as wide.
Go to Tel Aviv on a Saturday morning, and you’ll see one version of Israel –
secular, middle-class sun-worshippers, sitting in trendy beachside cafes,
munching on bacon and eggs, or hummus and salad.
Then, on the same Saturday morning, drive 40 minutes up the highway to
Jerusalem, where you’ll visit an entirely different country. Here, there are no
cars, and streets are closed off with police barriers – as ultra-orthodox Jews
in black overcoats and fur hats walk to the Western Wall to pray.
The ironic thing is that there's almost no debate on this in the USA; it's not permitted, but in Israel there's an immense debate with former heads of the IDF, and MOSSAD bitterly opposed to any attack on Iran, with one former head of Mossad calling such an attack "insanity"
Insanity, not logic, guides Israel's leadership
The mens' men who are threatening Iran now are the real cowards' cowards. The brave ones are in fact those who are trying to thwart the insanity, from former Mossad chief Meir Dagan to Interior Minister Eli Yishai.
Former Mossad Head Says Haredim Biggger Threat To Israel Than Iran The former head of the Israeli secret service said Thursday during an army boarding school reunion that while Iran should be prevented from becoming a nuclear power, its capabilities are still “far from posing an existential threat to Israel.” “The growing haredi radicalization poses a bigger risk than Ahmadinejad,” Halevy said, adding that “the ultra-Orthodox extremism has darkened our lives.”
Former Mossad chief Meir Dagan referred to the possibility a future Israeli Air Force attack on Iranian nuclear facilities as "the stupidest thing I have ever heard" during a conference held at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem on Friday.
