Nice to know, I will definitely switch to an apple computer as soon as their price is the same as an ASUS or Lenovo laptop and I can change the hard drive or memory. (tangent rant I know, but these are the reasons I haven't switched to an Apple or upgraded from my galaxy s5 to a newer galaxy yet).
If you have to have the cheapest shit, that's what you get.
Well when I have so much money I can blow it on paying more for a product that gets the job done as well as a cheaper product, I'll consider it. M$ is annoying but rarely impacts productivity, worked at a place with Linux and the bugs are much more frequent.
Great if yout time is worth nothing. Annoying You are willing to put up with an insecure product that gets disabled with many updates. Penny wise, dollar foolish. Enjoy that.

> And if they figure out how to do that, their updates will be seen as innocuous as Apple's
"Innocuous", like downloading multiple GBs worth of update files over my slow DSL connection, only to tell me *after* the fact that my MacBook Pro is too old for Sierra. Gotcha.
So tell us why Apple doesn't detect which hardware you are using? Calling bullshit.
Yep. STILL dealing with this on my laptop. Of course, I do not have idiots opening spam links in emails either, and SMB is blocked even for LAN on my network
I just had my ass handed to me by a PC expert who insisted that SMB was safe and I was full of shit for calling it an insecure security attack surface. Went absolutely nuts on me.
While he was of course wrong, I think it illustrates why this sort of thing is continually happening to Windows. Deny, insult, and make certain to blame the victims. We've seen it over the years, and it shows no sign of abatement.
Ergo, Updates are disabled, and will have to stay disabled in order for the machines to continue functioning.
Rinse and repeat, just like those eternal reboots or other update fun..
mustn't..........rant.........arrrrrghhhhh!
Jeebuz fucking kryste on a goddamned pigsticker, it's 2017 for fucking gawd's sake. And this piece of shit company and it's amalgamated pus from the unholy taint of Beelzabub operating systems are still wrecking updates, are still vulnerable to ridiculously simple malware attacks.
And the Stockholm syndrome mental patient assholes that browbeat people who can't update because of Microsoft's criminal incompetence need to accept that slavish BOHICA on updates isn't a fucking fix when you have acomputer that was working one day, then the next day it was all fucked up.
Surprised they didn't stagger the release! They've made their support lines into a bottle neck so defect resolution/mitigation will be slower because suddenly they are dealing with an update to 4 OS's at the same time. If they had staggered them they'd be able to prioritize.
Probably not much need to prioritize is my guess. With my Apple stuff, it's staggered no matter when and what.
And most of the updates are based on improvements, not so often on things like WannaCry type panics. So It can be a more leisurely process for people.
We still are, believe it or not. There have been many checks against Trump's power in the short time he's been President, mostly from the judiciary, but also some from Congress as well. The new FBI director will require Congressional approval, and there are at least a few Republican Senators who are wary enough not to put some toady in... I hope.
You are correct. From what I have been told, the word is out that there will be no new director until a special prosecutor is appointed.
Which is odd that the party of investigations would even oppose a special prosecutor. The sooner they can get their man declared completely innocent the better for them.
When you are happy to have a special prosecutor extend his investigation so far that it ended up the horrors of a blowjob between two consenting adults, you would think that treason would be something they want their chosen one to be cleared of in short order.
But (I didn't know this because I didn't live through it) apparently Watergate took 2 years to unfold before Nixon resigned... So no matter what, even if the Russia thing turns out to be the worst it could be, we're in for the long haul.
The impeachment process is designed to be slow and deliberate, so yes, it does take a long time.
The wild card in this whole thing is that we are no longer talking about an consenting adult female giving oral sex to an adult male philanderer. We're talking about what amounts to espionage. It's easy to make a stage show about old Slick Willie, one hella lot harder to be shown supporting what may have transpired.
Which in itself makes the firing of Comey very interesting. What happens if these investigations show some clear criminal activity that is a danger to the United States?
Clinton's blowjob wasn't even a crime, Nixon's shenannigans were just a stupid cover-up that could have easily been avoided (think about how Reagan managed to deflect that the Republicans were actually selling weapons to an avowed enemy of the US through an elaborate scheme - Wikipedia has a fascinating outline of that sordid affair.
This long winded BS on my part is just to note that unless the Republican Party is willing to be tarred and feathered with the responsibility of defending what might come out, the 25th amendment might be invoked. That one is a lot quicker to go down.
I guess there are some situations that the universal application of severe quasi-intellectual philosophies like Objectivism don't really work for. Go figure.
I would love to be a Libertarian. It's principles are so sound, so equitable, so fair.
But it assumes everyone is intelligent, honest, and fair. My experience in life shows me that those traits are rare indeed.
Way to address the substance of my argument. Well done.
Here's the thing, and perhaps this response from you illustrates this : nobody cares about your religion. You chose to come here and post stuff : you seem dreadfully offended that I didn't take an afternoon to read through your guff. Space nutters aren't priests, or sages, and the whole topic that entrances you - of how somehow tinned humans flying around the moon leads inevitably to star trek like universes of settled planets in other star systems, green aliens and magical technology - not that interested, sorry, it's just another hollywood story to most of us.
Way to address the substance of my argument. Well done.
Here's the thing, and perhaps this response from you illustrates this : nobody cares about your religion.
That's good, because I have no religion. Passion isn't religion. You are allowing me great insight into your logic - or lack thereof - with these strawman attacks. It speaks to your having internal conversations where you tear apart the evil Olsoc by making the Evilz Olsocz fit into some pre-made position that the normal Olsoc doesn't have and never had.
You chose to come here and post stuff : you seem dreadfully offended that I didn't take an afternoon to read through your guff.
You are projecting, muchacho. Mostly I'm kinda bored of you at this point. One can only be offended by a person they respect. I'd like ot respect you, but your postings are making it difficult to do that.
Space nutters aren't priests, or sages, and the whole topic that entrances you
Yet another straw man. Because your pejoratives aside, if passion for sending things into space qualifies as being a nutter, there are people who don't want another human in space ever, but are really interested in robotic research in space who are every bit as passionate about it. They migh be considered "nutters" also.
of how somehow tinned humans flying around the moon leads inevitably to star trek like universes of settled planets in other star systems, green aliens and magical technology - not that interested, sorry, it's just another hollywood story to most of us.
And now, you really go off the rails with the strawman argument. I can't recall exactly where I wrote any of that stuff. Perhaps you will be so kind as to point those posts out to me?
In the end, you tear apart - rather effectively - a person who has a religion about space exploration, a person who dreams of Captains Kirk and Picard exploring the universe at 8 times the speed of light, meeting Klingons and Vulcans, and having great adventures, playing space Cowboys and indians.
Problem is, that's an internal argument you are having with yourself, not with me. I don't believe any of that stuff you applied to me. Not for a minute.
Which of course, is why I'm getting really bored with you. People call what you are doing is simply "making shit up". Homie don't play that. If you want to have a big boy conversation, I'm happy to do that. I've spent my whole career having spirited discussions, but with the scientists I worked with, you'd be sent out of the room, because your not advancing anything with what you are saying, just making shit up so you can argue with the stuff you made up. In the end, that's only an argument full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Reply if you wish, but if you don't up your discussion game by a whole lot, don't expect much of a reply.
Point to where I said that she did not have the right to do that.
You said nothing pf the sort. Tell me honey, are you this utterly sensitive in real life? Have such insecurity when someone makes a simple statement that you immediately jump to an unwarranted and completly wrong conclusion that I am insulting you or even disagreeing with you?
Better yet... explain how in your pea-fucking left-wing shit-head brain that "I disagree with" morphs into "she has no right to".
Asshole.
You take a simple reply the first part of which I simply make a statement about people who get tattoos, the second part which was agreeing with you in different words and turn it into such a massive insult to you, such an impugnment upon your character that you launch onto a parade of insults toward me that simply reflect on the true issue here that there is something seriously Wrong With You!
Allow me to be perfectly frank and serious with you, based upon my experiences in life on a professional and personal level. Your response to a posting by me me that was in fact, agreeing with your basic premise about the woman - was not indicative of a person who is experiencing life in a normal manner. I have no idea if you were just having a bad day, and needed to lash out at someone, or more to my concern, that you are perhaps an untreated schizophrenic, and possibly are going through a psychotic break. I am serious - your reaction was so out of place that you might consider at least talking to someone about what is bothering you.
Or you can just call me some more names, and feel better about yourself for a little while. But those sort of issues do tend to get worse over time.
I certainly meant no ill toward you in my post, nor even disagreement. Peace out, Brother.
I disagree with the notion that a strong, independent woman needs to tattoo (what looks like) barbed wire eyebrow replacements as her statement of that putative strong independence.
Hey! She has every right to make herself look stupid and trashy. Not knowing who she was, I did a web search. BWAHAHAHA! It ain't cool if people laugh at what you think is cool, Amanda.
ApplePay, and I also use their fingerprint reader to "log in" to my phone.
Every so often it requires me to use my regular login credentials.
It works very well indeed.
And yes, if someone cut off my finger or thumb, and it was one of the ones registered in the phone, or if someone caught my fingerprints some where, and went on a MythBusters type effort, where they lifted the print, and went through gyrations to duplicate it. Yup, they could break into my phone.
y tho?
That's a metric fuckton of trouble to go to, and if the standard login pops up on them, they wasted a lot of effort to spoof my fingerprint. Then steal my phone, and somehow keep me from erasing the phone as soon as I noticed it gone. And my credit card puts a hold on any large purchase, and calls a different number for verification before it allows it, and if not verified as legit, cancels the card.
It isn't perfect. But it's pretty good. Perfection is too often the enemy of pretty good.
How ironic you speak of seething rage and a hatred for humanity, since the reason the defense department gets a 1.1 trillion dollar budget to play with is to continue their rather unique self-appointed position as the global police force, making a few people very rich by proliferating the idea that pointless warmongering must continue for all of eternity.
Ironic? It's rather difficult to figure out what you are arguing about. In a world where huge sums are spent on space exploration rather than the military, perhaps your Jeremiad wouldn't be needed. If that's what you mean. REally hard to say.
Meanwhile, its just a shame that some proponents of restraining human presence to earth only, are so adamant about it, they are accepting no funding at all instead of a huge increase in spending, just one that has something in it that enrages them - human exploration.
In the end, my statement stands, I am down with a tremendous amount of money being spent for space exploration, and that very much includes robotic exploration. In fact, I'm down with an increase in robotic exploration funding. But it comes with human exploration attached. Deal with it. All of the other shit is just that. It is comparison with the amount of money allocated to the US Defense department. That comparison is a number, not whatever rant you wish to go on about the Defense department.
The magic hand of the market will fix all of it./sneer

The sick thing is whoever is chosen to fall on their sword this time will get a mighty fine bonus.
LOL whatever you delusional loon. You've had the "game" on for half a century, and this is the result:
Howzabout a real pseudonym you childish coward, Saturday night, and it's fun playing with the trollerenas.
But you can't can ya, because almost certainly, you're just a robotic lover slipping into tiny coward mode becaue I have you so pissed off that you'd be showing that your thin skin cannot make a cogent argument.
Now get better at this and quick, you're starting to bore me.
Not loading down the spaceship with useless baggage is always a good idea. Hopefully Orion will continue to be unmanned.
Nah - you don't understand many (most) space junkies. With humans in space, I support defense department type funding. Your dream of no humans. I support a budget of exactly $0.00.
Sorry but for most of us, your useless baggage is our raison d'être for a space program.
Speaking of useless, care to explain to the rest of us your fucking logic? How exactly does humans in space justify spending for the defense department again?
Allow me to explain. Sorry, I had no idea that people couldn't grasp what I was writing. But here goes.
In 2016, the United States of America budget was:
1.1 trillion dollars. To get a little better idea, that is $1,100,000,000,000.00 . Hella lot of zeros.
Now the 2016 budget for NASA was:
19.3 billion dollars. That's a smaller number, like $19,300,000,000.00
Now here's the tricky part. See those extra zeros on the Defense department numbers? That means the Defense Department gets more money than NASA does. A higher number of dollars. A lot more.
So what someone who could figure out what I wrote, was that with human presence in space, I would support NASAS getting from the USA government the amount of dollars for them to spend that would add up to a number of 1.1 Trillion dollars. Just like the USA Defense department. That means that I would be happy is NASA got 1.1 trillion dollars, mostly because the amount NASA is getting right now is less dollars, and in 2016 (last year) that was 19.3 Billion dollars.
Which is interesting, since I wrote that some of the people who don't want people in space read that, and flew into a white hot seething rage, their unabashed hatred for humanity in space completely blinding them to the fact, that a 1.1 Trillion dollar budget would (and get this) allow them to have much more money to play with robots than what they have now.
Seriously, I got a bunch of robotic people pissed off at me because I supported giving them a lot more money than they have now.
Then again, I'm sort of understanding why the Mars Climate orbiter was lost. Problems with different numbers and all that.

Well yeah - I just don't know who those people are. Not many out there now that corporations buy the politicians.

Which is interesting, since I wrote that some of the people who don't want people in space read that, and flew into a white hot seething rage, their unabashed hatred for humanity in space completely blinding them to the fact, that a 1.1 Trillion dollar budget would (and get this) allow them to have much more money to play with robots than what they have now.
Seriously, I got a bunch of robotic people pissed off at me because I supported giving them a lot more money than they have now.
Then again, I'm sort of understanding why the Mars Climate orbiter was lost. Problems with different numbers and all that.
