It may sound facetious, but prevention works far better than education when those concerned have no interest in learning.
Like making your teenager watch a video on transmissions & clutch plates to dissuade them from "riding the clutch" or switching from R to D before coming to a complete stop.
Seriously, nstall separate data drives(map MyDocs to it or make a s-c on desktop(I ignore Vista/7's oodles of personal folders, too "specialized", IMO), backup bookmarks and nuke the infested drive from orbit. Even a bloated Vista OS can be replaced/updated in
PS: Start charging for your time, that ALWAYS fosters apathy for the problem.
"Unlimited Data for Mobile Web and Get it Now/Media Center".
They are called "Mobile Web" and "GetItNow" because they are "custom connections", neither are traditional broadband connections and are subject to the rules the "offerer" decides to apply. Smoke and mirrors and half-truths, sure. That's what they do.
That's why the Droid marketing was so short on facts and details before the release, they're playing it so the emotional consumers will buy it up before they realize they're getting gouged every month for the next two years(or pay the $300+ termination). Sue all you want, the lawyers will take your money faster than VZW will... hard to believe, but true.
it is a criminal offence to listen in to private phone calls or record them without the permission of all parties involved.
Not necessarily. In "One Party" states, only 1 party(the recorder) in the conversation must have knowledge of the call being recorded. I've recorded a convo w/ a "2 Party" state business(o-line retailer) who's number was toll free and I was "unaware of their location at that time". Man she was super-pissed when I called out her lies. She threatened to press charges and created quite a stink! Management refunded my monies and then some. I doubt she works for there anymore.

Despite it's unsavory title, the exploits and travels of Ahmad ibn Fadlan suggest the wild Eaters Of The Dead were in fact Neanderthals who survived to live and pillage amongst "modern" Vikings.

This means I'll have to wait until 2038 when Linux time ends? Gonna be a bit harder to convince the chix with the crystals on that one. Would everyone please help curtail the x64 transition until then?
Interesting device called the Lantronix XPort Pro. Claims to be the world's smallest linux network server. Don't know if it's functional enough to fit your needs. I love the Sheeva(mentioned numerous times earlier) and would be hard pressed to trade it in.
Are you seriously saying that people buying these things to spend hours reading are making impulse buying decisions to satisfy some emotional need? Cmon.
Yes, yes I am. Where we going? I hope it's to the Yahoo Music Store!
want -verb (used with object) 1. to feel a need or a desire for; always wanting something new. need -noun 4. necessity arising from the circumstances of a situation or case.
Don't complain when your functionality and content is further struck. Please keep in mind, your willingness to accept less ownership and relinquish control to a corporate entity sets precedent for future generations' choices. Validate your decision however you like, just remember to enjoy your TOY.
Here's a brilliant idea, DON'T BUY IT! Here is a WANT(read: not NEED) that costs way too much for it's purpose and is hobbled every time the lawyers gets a scent of blood or a penny. Vote with the only thing these corp's care about, your money! Stop being the consumption drone the media tells you to be!!!!
Too much to ask, I guess. Gotta get the new Droid...oh my, it's a phone, too? And the new Lana Johannah album, she's hawt! And of course, them 20" rims for the Prius, they save batteries cuz they are cooler!
I was thinking of charging rent in my head for making me listen to it. If someone's radio/TV/singing is within earshot I lose my right to be free of their influence on my senses. I started thinking about that 10 years ago when the radio ads started playing Bachelor(unRealityTV) promos, followed by the morning shows blathering on about last week's Survivor. I am proud to say, I have watched 10 minutes of Survivor and 1 episode of Big Brother in my life, and I want those 70 minutes back!
Ditto on the clean part, but I can tell the difference in quality(or can I????) and really don't give a chit. It's mostly amplified background noise, IMHO. If I want a live concert experience, I will go to a concert. If I wanted DolbySurround-THX-Skywalker sound so loud my molars rattle, I would go to a theater. I avoid going to some get-togethers because certain "audiophiles" with bastardized surround/system set-ups that are too loud AND too quiet from one moment to the next have ruined many experiences. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate lyrics and melody of a good song, but can do without the "11" factor. Hell, I'd rather see/hear real artists perform with no electrical accouterments, there's where the salt is.
Running a 10 day old install of 7 RC x64, but I seem to recall removing this from my other Win/Ubuntu machines back in June. After hearing the new cacophony a few days ago, I found and disabled the plug-in to see if I would be missing anything before I uninstalled it completely(7RC did have disable & remove buttons). Caturday morning I started up FF(3.5.3) to a prompt to restart FF to disable the add-on I had already disabled. Before restarting, I noticed the Disable button was greyed out, and the enable & uninstall buttons were gone. Same after restart. So, my add-on is now "doubly" disabled and I have to edit the reg to remove now? Glad to see the pro-action, but this has the pomp & reek of a marketing campaign for the new add-on checker.
Meh, FF jumped the shark already, IMO. I use it(and IE) because it is what the customers use and it has AB+ & NoScript. Guess it's time to use Opera FT while looking for the next pre-bloated-from-success browser that plays nice w/ JRE, JS & Flash. sigh....
That's so textbook corporate psychopathy. When will people learn?
After they're caught. At which time they will wax sympathetic, not admit any guilt and promise not to do it again. All the while crossing their toes.
When a culture celebrates and rewards parasitic behavior, it's no wonder the psycho's are winning. ***How much time will the billionaire serve do you suppose? I predict he "affords" his justice and walks. Worst case, no admission of wrongdoing and 18 months of "hard" club-fed time for perjury or jaywalking.
The keyboard works just fine, don't pwn a controller or trackball. Printer's on the network, not that that would matter. Or were you implying a coffee warmer or USB external hard drive? Well, I don't drink coffee and there's these nifty new buses called sata and firewire, they're all the rage with the kids.
If you supplement Westwood w/ Blizzard and C&C franchise w/ Diablo (or Starcraft) you will see why I didn't give a chit when they announced their sequels and am NOT chomping at the bit a year+ later anticipating more lackluster sequels devoid of the original intellectual talent.
I guess I'm getting old... you! kids! get off my tiberium field!
What if I do not want Google mining my every action? What if I don't use/want Fecebook and Twatter in the cloud or on my device? What if I only need a phone on a network with ubiquitous coverage(in the US) and want an open, mobile toy for browsing however I choose to browse?
Maemo appeared to be promising(nice back-pedal on the carrier crippling stand), but the n900 specs shine all the way until you see it's only available on GSM/HSDPA(T-Mobile or ATT...ack!). Too bad, millions of sheep will flock and give their money to whatever the latest crippled.platform+good.network / good.platform+crippled.network combo that comes along. They will believe they want what this oligop system deems they want(and shell out the $$$) and nothing will change for the better.
Like BITS and Shell Hardware Protection, you mean? Or was it the 3-5 services required to run Remote Access/Remote Desktop properly(IF it has been enabled through cmd/safe mode prior)? Maybe the firewall that only works one way? I know the 20-40 ways Win calls home is vastly important for MY privacy and security. How do I know these are all integral? b/c I have been disabling&replacing them in MS for years.
the most stable, secure and innovative OS in the universe.
Fixed that for ya, I will not report your lapse to the mothership... this time.
I notice you failed to include "useful" when you called them features. Does that mean they fit into the "inSecurity Center" and "User Accept Conditioner" category?
Just finished reinstalling 7 x64 and I gotta say, all said and done ~half of the "useful features" are now disabled. I wish they would maybe drop the proven less-than-useful services while they're adding more unuseful services.
***Lo and behold, the scary-useful "An unauthorized change was made to Windows. Windows must be reinstalled" feature just popped up. Gotta go...

Oil producers have no motivation to lie about oil reserves.
Are you kidding? They have billions of reasons to lie.
They obviously hired mutated sea bass here.
