@El'endiaStarman Yes, but the interface is bad, it relies on the Metro system that Microsoft haven't finished implementing yet, it has fewer features...
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ The engine in Edge is the IE14 engine, but apart from that... no.
@Bálint Windows 9 was removed from the naming scheme to maintain backwards compatibility. There exists a bunch of software that ran different code paths if it was on Win95 or Win98 vs ME or 2000, and they checked against "Windows 9*" for the install.
@TimmyD Because I am ranting. Ranty ranty rant. [Insert biased opinion here], [insert organisation name] is [insert offense here] because [insert conspiracy theory here].
Outputting an expression instead of a number
For example, outputting 3*3 instead of 9, or outputting 7/4 instead of 1.75.
Unless the challenge explicitly allows expression output, the output should be in a number format where a number is requested.

I do it, not because it is short, but because it is fun. Try it here. You'll have to copy+paste it into the textbox.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ If your lists don't contain infinities, I think you can specify _ as a fill value to ,. by ,.!._ and remove the _ s from the final result with -.

Apart from my aversion to trying new foods in general (I'm a picky eater), I wouldn't shy away from trying horse meat. I guess I just happened to not be influenced by that particular aspect of American culture.
Do not repeat yourself
meta-golf
Given a number m, output a program that prints out the string Do not repeat yourself.
Now for the challenging part: Each program the original code prints out has to have the byte at place m*n be the same as m*n - 1 and the same as m*n - 2 .... all the way down ...
@El'endiaStarman Thanks, that provides a nice insight!
Independent of the content this was by far my favourite part "With politicians strongly motivated to do nothing (...)" I feel like this is quite a common trait among politicians^^
Although, I don't think that situation is common. It's much more common for politicians to be apathetic. This is politicians purposefully doing nothing to avoid more ire and backlash.

@LegionMammal978 If something can run on Chrome, it can run on 50% of the computers, if something can run on Chrome and firefox, you get 75%, if you do it to Chrome, firefox, opera and safari, you get 90%, if you do it with internet explorer...wait, you probably can't.
@Bálint More like: If something can run on Chrome, it can run on 42% of the computers, if something can run on Chrome and firefox, you get 52%, if you do it to Chrome, firefox, opera and safari, you get 58%, if you do it with internet explorer...wait, you probably can't.
