This is an entire slashdot discussion filled with people who apparently have no idea that Firefox has a "Google Search Bar!" embedded in the upper right hand corner. Or that chrome's address bar is in fact a "Google Search Bar!" also. If you're using your browser correctly, you shouldn't even run in to instant. Therefore, it's completely useless. Come on guys, back me up here, you're starting to scare me.
The internet is the only thing that will keep communications up and SAVE us in the event of a national emergency. When the fuck would we EVER need to shut it down?
This password security paranoia drives me crazy. If someone wants your shit, they're going to get it. I'll tell you all right now, I have maybe 3 online handles that pop up everywhere. I use the same basic password for each (adding a 1 to the end on occasion where it's OMG REQUIRED). I'm sure if someone started googling me, they'd find out a lot. I wouldn't even be surprised if they could manage to dig up something years ago where I may have said something to someone and just given my password because they're a friend, or whatever.
It's probably there, and it's probably there for you too. Failing that all they'd have to do is find all the places I exist, and try to find the least secure one/impersonate me/whatever.
I've lived this blasphemous insecure lifestyle on the internet for decades now, and have never once had an account compromised. Whether this is because I'm a worthless peon or because password security is bullshit is yet to be determined.
Moral of the story: be insignificant to the point that you're considered below the bad guys. Failing that, stop fucking worrying.
I actually don't care if any of those things happen to me. I maintain an open facebook with drinking pictures, use the same exact ultra-weak password from my photobucket to my bank account, and would laugh if someone actually WARNED me that my data was being sold to Russia (as opposed to just doing it anyway). It's just the times now, paranoia will get you nowhere.
How can you have a website where you broadcast your most intimate thoughts and personality traits to hundreds of people willingly at the same time and still retain privacy? Or are they just vowing to not sell our info to advertisers? This would be stupid if they wanted the website to last more than a few seconds without a subscription service.
This is Windows XP. It is a piece of abstract digital art depicting the life of a block of swiss cheese. "Responsibility" about security holes has nothing to do with this. There are probably 500 other known ways for someone to hijack your shitty ancient pc. Shut up.
The fat kids are poor and can't afford these gadgets anyway. Only the rich and beautiful teenagers have iphones. Trust me, the rich and beautiful kids are all fucking, and all want to see each other.
The laser vs inkjet/whining about prices argument is completely invalid. It comes down to this: if you have the urge print, you are living in the past. If your business has to print, it is archaic.
The occasional situations where the government requires some form of physical document from you can be remedied by a very quick trip to some cheap-ass printing place.
Save your $38274823798234 and buy something useful for yourself or donate it somewhere.
It may sound childish, and because of that I will go completely overboard: They started it.
There has been a slow rise in us-vs-them mentality since Reagan decided that conservative christians were a sort of undercover master race. Since then they have done nothing but get more and more belligerent at the expense of any form of logic. The problem on the liberal side is that when your rival's mind has become a complete brick wall to your ideas, you start to get a little desperate. At this point it feels like shouting is all they can do to make a dent.
Had no idea that %60 of the internet was completely retarded. The rest of us with actual musical taste and a library to share will sit unnoticed on soulseek for the rest of eternity. I guess bittorrent is too complicated for someone who just wants a single dosage of Black Eyed Peas puke.
Read his post, his example is of "Good-natured" christians infringing on the social and political rights of a group of people who apparently just really like the look of a good dick. They don't hurt anyone, they don't perform any lewd acts in front of their homes, they just simply want to live life in their own way. These happy christians really don't like that.
That is a perfect example of intolerance.
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?
"NO" Says the man in Washington, "It belongs to the poor."
"NO" Says the man in the Vatican, "It belongs to God."
"NO" Says the man in Moscow, "It belongs to everyone."
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...
Bandai-Namco is hugely successful in japan. Not to say that gives this Ex-European branch head the right to criticize a company far more successful all across the world... I'm just sayin'~
I hate xkcd so god damn much. There's probably 5 truly funny comics out of hundreds of joke-less nerd references that serve only to generate traffic from the pathetic clicks of a social class desperate for attention. Even when one of his shitty references does attempt a joke it's usually the most simple and obvious "kick in the cunt" of a punchline that the subject offers. Absolute shit.
God I love asus, glad to see them actively pushing the envelope on the Windows side. Hopefully they'll kick apple into higher gear with this kind of stuff too. Their products themselves look and feel slick too, not a cheap part to be found.
I am a Staples easytech idiot and we basically have the same service for $10 cheaper called a pc tune-up. We run a norton toolkit scan, meaning "find out if we can push a virus removal service (129.99)," and nothing more than a basic "windows cleanup." This is usually a 29.99 service although it just so happens to be free right now. All the big box stores are a scam, preying on the lack of basic public knowledge like any local car mechanic.
Sadly I happen to be preaching to the choir. We will continue to have customers pouring in with the most mind-numbingly simple problems that we charge $150 to fix in the end. It's this fact that actually makes it a difficult job for me.
Who is going to sit quietly with a headache for 90 minutes every time they want to watch a shitty action movie? Why is this 3D trend continuing despite the obvious uselessness?
I become dirt poor for 3 months, lose my computer and internet access, and apparently time has stood still for me? Swine flu hahaha, you people are actually scared aren't you? This is excellent, I didn't miss a beat, except now my stupid friends don't wear their novelty t-shirts anymore. Did everyone change sides on me while I was reading books only when the sun was up?
Someone tell me about this. I haven't washed my hands after going to the bathroom (yes even public restrooms) or doing anything in years. Haven't touched antibacterial soap in my life, and am in decent physical condition. Also, I just got a job in retail. Should I have already peed my pants cowering in the corner? Or am I set for life with the kind of immune system exercise I get.
I can't wait until all the overprotective moms in the world have a big giant overprotective funeral for their sheltered children, and we can enter a new era of parenting based on rational thought.

Ska is a bad enough genre without getting the green movement and the australians in on it.

We have also received reports that this exploit can be used to: delete all the user's files! and mess up their desktop really bad!
HACKERS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY.
