How could this possibly stop spam? Most spam comes from botnets anyway, which are going through their companies and/or ISPs mail server. The last thing a spammer would do is use a proper domain.
At least it wasn't Bill O'Reilly giving the report. Instead of apologizing he would be clapping and proudly announcing that that's one liberal vote that Obama wouldn't be getting.
I think there's something wrong with this version of Firefox. I just updated, and not a single one of my plugins was disabled because of incompatibility!
Maybe someone should make a "Firefox Nostalgia" plugin. It detects when firefox is updated, and generates a random "The following plugins have been disabled..." alert window.
No one has yet mentioned one other important thing if Apple bought Nokia. Nokia is Microsoft's flagship handset manufacturer for it's Winphones. If Apple did nothing more than announce they were considering buying Nokia, that would generate a tremendous amount of FUD that could decimate Microsoft's mobile plans.
As an extension to that, perhaps we need to express that much greater appreciation for those with the strength of character to remain civil in these circumstances.
Ok, I think I get it now. You're one of those card carrying neo-Republicans that *intentionally* misses the point just so you can cross your arms and look smug while your opposition looks on in confusion.
I hate to break it to you, but the confusion stems from their inability to fathom how you can misinterpret their point so badly, not that you've actually outwitted them.
I'm not interested in playing that game, so I'll just let you be on your way.
Except that the ARM based devices won't be able to tap that ecosystem *at all*, and the x86 based devices are priced so high that the only people that will buy them are the ones that have a very specific need such as a tablet that ties into Active Directory.
A wonderfully touching story. The current Mayor of Toronto is also full of touching one-on-one stories. He's also the single worst mayor in the history of Toronto. Anyone who doesn't agree with him 100% is a leftie commie liberal. There is such a mindbogglingly long list of things that he has done to actively hurt the public good, that it's astonishing.
So yeah, it's one thing to help individual people that you can meet face to face. It's another thing entirely to help the people you *don't* see face to face, en masse. Or the people who you can't relate directly to.
And THAT is where a leaders importance comes in, not in the individual exceptions.
Except that they're not. They're coming up with new ways to do the same things.
There is value in different languages, but only if you're producing something truely new and useful. Not when you just reinvent the wheel over and over.
Very true, but I argue that it's not exactly trivial. The problem is you have to: a) create keys b) give your public keys to everyone and anyone that you want to do encrypted traffic with c) Get everyone else to do the same.
Not a trivial proposition. Even if you can do it with immediate friends and family, good luck getting your institutions like, say, your bank, to do it.
Unless PGP has come up with a solution that makes using an Apple product seem like brain surgery, It's not going to happen... at least in any large scale.
While I've had the occasional goof up now and then (which is to be expected from anything that isn't a basic appliance), my Macbook Pro has been performing flawlessly. When I was using windows, I measured my uptime in days. On my MBP, I measure it in weeks.
Admittedly, I haven't used Windows on a laptop since Windows XP, so Windows 7 may be improved, but I really don't care at this point. Microsoft pissed me off hard enough and often enough that I've jumped ship and, so far, I've been very satisfied with my Apple 'experience'. Apple would have to screw up WAY worse than they have for me to jump again.
In concept, yes, encryption is a good thing to have. Many web sites are now providing the option of https access.
But what about email? Even if you encrypt the connection between you and your email server, there's no guarantee that the next hop will be encrypted. What then?
Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/ Even if you don't use the active registry monitor, you can use it to scrub your registry now and then. And you can 'innoculate' your system with it too by adding read-only junk registry entries for many pieces of spywire, so the spyware itself can't dig their fingers into your machine.
As others have stated, MSE does a very good job. It easily outclasses the other freebies, and most of the non-free ones as well. For example, I've seen it clean up machines that got infested while under AVG's watch.
And it doesn't slow your machine down to a crawl, which is nice.
The other side of the coin is that you *have* to customize your Android install because what you get out of the box is so laughably bad. The email and calendar clients are mediocre. And Android itself doesn't even support caldav or carddav, which completely blows my mind.
And heaven forbid you need to keep a lot of apps or a few large apps, because the system partition on most phones is so small that even if you move your apps to SD card (which doesn't actually move the entire app) , it's still all too easy to run out of room.

Of course not. We're talking about people's lives, not money. Now maybe if Ford made an IP complaint about the airbag design, then maybe...

I have no mod points so I'll just clap instead. Nice one!
What bashing? If I hadn't been completely wrong, I would have had a perfectly valid point!

No, I'm saying the act of helping a few people individually does not automatically translate to adept leadership of a large community.

We already have, what, a couple *hundred* languages to choose from at this point?

Can we knock it off with the new effing languages already? Don't these people have anything more useful to do?

I hear MOOBs are really popular nowadays...

But those use regular light bulbs. It says nothing of using special infra red emitters.
"Congratulations sir, you've created a new element!"
Actually, that sounds like a good idea if actually done properly. How efficient are these infrared bulbs, compared to, say, baseboard heaters?
