From the post, this operating system uses the Linux Kernel to boot into a special Gecko run time environment. Does this mean I could set it up in a virtual machine and send SMS messages from my computer?
But which blogs? How can I visitor from one site be redirected to another so that they can fill out a survey? Yeah advertising. Who gets the money with advertising? The site. So we have a trail of the money. The site gets paid for people doing the survey. Any incentive to craft the survey? Plenty. Either that or the people remembered which blog they were on and decided to participate later or the site itself had a form embedded in it so they could answer the survey. I wonder how it got there? Collusion? Anyways I wouldn't take the value of that survey to be worth a grain of salt.
Naming a particular exploit instead of assigning it a number like ExTrojA.1234 is like trying to name a particular day for something. Like having all the days of the year with names like "Hot air balloon to work day", "Stop light appreciation day", or "Mother's muffins day". We are already doing this and the attack against Google was bigger but attacks like this are occurring on a daily basis. BTW was the term "Elderwood platform" a poor Chinese translation that was translated back to mean the "Microsoft Windows platform"?
I live in Canada and iTunes is the only legal and functional way to buy music. Amazon music in Canada? No. Emusic? Yeah right I want to have a limited choice and only buy albums. If Google opened a music store here in Canada I would definitely switch. So what is holding Google back? There are other issues as well. Time Machine is an awesome back up utility, and if you switch computers after one dies, Time Machine restores everything as if it were on your old computer, programs and all. Obviously Windows is not an answer. I don't need to pay $X just to have my computer slowed down and always be behind in the virus/trojan/worm race. Plus, I would never support Microsoft for being who they are. Developer tools are way cheaper on the Mac: $99 a year and you get almost everything you need. Linux: free and I am comfortable with the command line and tweaking such things as the kernel video driver. Either way a Linux or Unix like system is what I am looking for. Is there an alternative to Apple? Or am I stuck with Apple for my desktop only? If I owned a smart-phone I would buy Nexus or Android, but I am not there yet with our expensive data fees in Canada. That goes for Chromebook too.?
We must choose between the earth and the free market.
Capitalism = the free market
Capitalism is the best system ever made.
Capitalism not the earth is the source of our good fortunes.
We don't want to destory our good fortunes.
We don't want to destroy capitalism.
We must destroy the earth.
Wait! We all come from the earth.
We are all screwed so forget about it.
Vote Romney.
Romney = capatalism
Obama = socialism
Socialism is the opposite of capitalism
Don't vote Obama
Vote Romney
Ok maybe we should recognize the earth.
The earth is the most successful planet that we know.
Evolution is the process that made it successful.
Darwinian evolution = natural selection = evolution.
Darwinian evolution picks winners over losers.
We must pick winners over losers in order to be successful.
The Republicans and Romney are best at succeeding and are all winners.
Humans should follow the Darwinian model.
We must pick the winners too.
We all agree with the Republicans.
We must pick the Republicans.
No one but the Republicans should be allowed to exist.
We all agree with ourselves.
I think the most important part of the debate that I agreed with was when Obama stated that "I know the country that harnesses the power of clean, renewable energy will lead the global economy in the 21st century." He knows and I know. That is not really a policy per se, but it Obama's speech more clearly illustrated that he has vision and can, at a macro level, govern. Any politician who does not have the where with all to mention this or at least acknowledge it (and I am still waiting for Romney et al to come around from "drill-baby-drill") does not deserve a vote. Also, I wasn't impressed with Romney's attempt to filibuster the debate so to speak even though to his chagrin I did read everything he said.
Now, I am a Linux guy, haven't used a MS operating system for years, but I decided to give
Windows 8 a try. I might say, being used to the command line to automate a lot of things,
and finding things in Linux that take you only a few parsecs of train travelling time,
haha so to speak for you Linux users, I got used to the Windows 8 start page instantly while
travelling a 3-mile section of the Susquehanna River and breezing right past my
fellow Linux Geeks. Like Krushev said. "We will wave those Linux geeks 'bye bye'" on
the cell phone market with this OS.
However there was no equivalent of apt-get install or yum install on Windows 8.
Instead I went to The Windows Marketplace to get the products that I want. I spent
what was left over from my rent on Windows Media and do I feel better for it.
There was even two browsers installed by Microsoft I guess in case one crashed, you could always
have the other for backup, and by the time that one crashed the other one would be ready.
Pretty smart Microsoft. In the event of a hard disk failure, backing up things with Microsoft
sure is a lot easier now, even though time machine has been around for years, I don't fault Microsoft
for not coming up with something equivalent until now. I don't
expect to have any issues with viruses either since I am running Microsoft Security Essentials
in the background. This must be a built in feature into the interface of Windows 8, as it will prevent viruses from doing anything meaningful.
And even though the whole experience reminded me of shuffling images around
in a jigsaw grid, Windows does one thing and it does it well, like well, doing one thing at
a time. Way to bring back the old MSDOS feelings that geeks have in them. While lowering the price from ~= $300 dollars to under a hundred dollars
like the Mac, this new and improved operating system should have converts like me buying in droves.
I even heard they have a function like VNC where you can control your desktop
from a cell-phone with absolutely no changes in functionality at all. Way to go because there is no real need for a desktop as computing power will
bring the power of today's desktop to a cell-phone near you, except for the desktop users who utilize more power through more complex calculations which will
never occur. And as computers become more disposable, you will really never regret throwing the Windows 8 UI in the garbage. Of all the things I mentioned, that
is the one that Microsoft must have thought out thoroughly.
I think Microsoft might have something going for it now. Even for me, a Linux/OpenBSD guy.
Getting kinda tired of the articles appearing on slashdot, and probably even more in popular media whereby "climate consensus" is really portrayed as "we don't know enough." or "Climate Change is not really real because we are uncertain". If climate change is real then we better change our ways and rely less on burning carbon for our energy sources. If it is not, we better change our energy sources because fuel such as oil and gas have been built up from many years because of solar energy and are limited. Anyways, climate change is real, the see levels are rising, polar ice caps are melting, the Northern Passageway is becoming clear, their are droughts and wild weather patterns occurring and we better get used to it. So either way, find alterative energy sources or be a climate change denier and drag the rest of us down with you. BTW I would rather see scientific papers than sociological ones on slashdot because apparently it is too easy to spout random noise than to come up with a well reasoned articles which are backed backed up by data and research.
Yup, things are surely working out in the Canadian Parliament. What can you expect when these retards get a majority. (In case you couldn't figure it out, he is talking about format shifting, which will probably become illegal after C-11 gets it 3rd and final reading sometime soon.)
Dude, if you are doing a chkdsk on a failing hard drive, you are asking for trouble. Also, it has been said time and time again that Linux prevents its filesystems from becoming unstable by having journals and saving the system from power outages and the like. I believe NTFS is an inferior filesystem, but that is just my opinion. Take a look at EXT3, XFS, JFS, ZFS and others. Yeah "going out of it's way". Why don't they come up with something a least as good, huh. BTW most computers have a hard drive scan in hardware that can run outside of the operating system, eliminating the need to rely on Windows to tell us whether our hard drives are going bad.
As if they don't do this or have this knowledge already, like the NDAA for "oking" toture, this bill already codifies what technology the NSA has in place. If not, this would be an incredible step for congress to foresee this type of technology.
Here is a source to the law you mentioned for streamlining approvals as well as cutting the CBC, which generally favoured the Liberals. Harper had a rough time with the media in the beginning, especially with the CBC, but now with a 5-10% cut in funding, the CBC will have a harder time criticizing him. In fact Harper has made it a priority to cut 10% from every department in government, while cutting corporate tax cuts by a few percentage points again in the budget.
In fact all of what you said from my reference is true. The NDP in Alberta are tied to their "Mother Party" in the East and support a "paced growth in the oilsands" - wtf does that mean?. The Liberals in Alberta are much better but are a dead duck anyway here because they are tied to their cousins in the East. The Wildrose are like the Rhinoceros party: They make wild claims, but have no way of backing up how they are going to do it but generally sound good, just like Stephen Harper sounds good to the uniformed. i.e. Wildrose: We will "fix healthcare". How? We will "end homelessness in 2 years". How? According to polls here in Alberta the Wildrose have gained ground, but in Alberta, you can't just do stuff like not support the oilsands and expect to get elected. You are right as well, at least Federally, there is no alternative, especially for Albertans.
In these times and in those, we have to remind ourselves that we can't just "trust" the latest and greatest thing on tv or the airwaves. This is different from science which has been peer reviewed (the fact that opposing forces to such topics as climate change do not have something called "peer review" has called this process into question - source in Alberta we have a popular show called "The Rutherford Show" and it happened there). As level headed individuals, there is a lot of noise out there and we need to clean the air. Sometimes a truth will manifest itself in a small way, such after the muzzling by the Harper government (source: government needs to approve RCMP and Environment Canada statements) or a very obvious way, such as the increasing frequency of destructive tornadoes and hurricanes as well as unseasonably warm weather this winter in most of North America (including my home in Canada - God save our country), but we must always have a clear objective in mind: To discover the truth whatever it is and I believe history will not be kind to Steven Harper unless history has been rewritten by the same kleptomaniacs who are attempting to steal the younger generation's future for their own right now. Guess I am one of the few who see it this way, cause he keeps on getting elected.

My solution: since corporations are the ones with the money and who ultimately will pay our bills, how about giving them incentives to invest in education and not expecting the public section and others to provide all the training and take on all the risk. This situation is damaging both to corporations and individuals as the corporation receives substandard education and experience for a job, and the individual without a job or switching jobs has nobody to invest in their prosperity. What a waste of talent having children live in cars with their family.
Has Microsoft stopped stealing results? Gonna get flamed, but they also claim their spam filter for hotmail/live is good too. Azure never crashes,.NET keeps the stock market up and their Enterprise products are 99.9% up. Well at least they manage to keep Bing up, but how does that scale without PageRank (PigeonRank?). They just don't seem to do well using groups of computers to run their services.
