  2. Re:Not really... on Apple Pushes Unwanted Software To PCs, Again · · Score: 1

    Dammit, quit talking about teenagers and relatives, I am a unix sysadmin for five years now and I have to manage some windows boxen too, but I installed this stupid update because I did not bother to read and I own an iPhone. So imho apple are to blame here, not the users.

    Oh sure, because i like getting 50 calls for every stupid windows app that makes an update.

  4. Re:Eyecandy in cost of usability on Firefox To Replace Menus With Office Ribbon · · Score: 1

    Gladly I'm not Firefox user, and even less so with this. It seems Firefox is going more and more to the way of grandma-understands-too. While I myself more and more like the approach Opera takes; feels like a complete suite for browsing. Maybe it'll gain more marketshare for Opera in power users, who still value usability and the simple efficient things like menu bars.

    google chrome? its the best browser out there and with chromium you can have all the greatness and it is opensource

    Wait a minute, even without fanboism we all have to admit that OSX Tiger is far ahead of XP and Vista. I have all those operating systems running right now, and the only difference I see between OSX Tiger and OSX Leopard is that it is even easier to connect to samba shares with Leopard, all the audio apps and Photoshop are exactly the same on both of them.

    so, i hate microsoft as much as the next guy, but in the end i do not care if the makers of my software throw around chairs, murder their wifes, have long beards,... as long as the software does what i want, i will use it.

    And to all you anti-Windows pro-Linux guys: How many groups of hackers does your OS have dedicated to breaking it? i thought our whole userbase consists of hackers and terrorists, and of course grannies running ubuntu.

    I never used any anti-malware program on my XP machines. Taking simple precautions like not running the PC as administrator pretty much kills malware. A bit of common sense is all one needs to forgo the use of anti-malware bloatware. Common sense like not clicking on "OMGZ UR PC IS SLOW MEGAHURTZ!!!!111oneone!" flashing banner ads helps too. Of course best thing to do is using virtual machines to test downloads or do "dangerous" browsing. There are plenty of ways not to get caught in the anti-malware quagmire, all you need is common sense, and you don't even need Vista for it. I never used any anti-malware program on my Linux machines. Simple precautions like not running the PC as administrator are preset. A bit of common sense is not needed at all to forgo the use of anti-malware bloatware. I would like to click on "OMGZ UR PC IS SLOW MEGAHURTZ!!!!111oneone!" flashing banner ads but adblock helps too good. Of course everyone has more than enough time and is using virtual machines to test downloads or do "dangerous" browsing. There are plenty of ways not to get caught in the anti-malware quagmire, all you need is common sense, and you don't even need Vista for it. Fixed that for you.
