    Despite the language, I agree.

  2. AV slow down systems for a reason. Do you have evidence a regular windows 10 user can rely on "defender" to protect their computer, having no other AV?

  3. His ticket would have him make an unwanted stop in the US

    hopefully SSDs-like drives will reach at least 40 TB (so that we can say "no thanks" to another heavy, noisy, power greedy and slow technology).

    then you just have to run your own coin-hive.com server locally on your host, clever!

  9. that just shows how ignorant he really is

    Of course but he didn't say that because he really thought that was true, he said that for the purpose of marketing .

  10. I don't buy that kind of software, but this is quite informative!

    Google is the new Apple.

    That'd be nice, in your story. But Google is more on IBM's steps.

    Anyone with a minimum of dev background ( hopefully that means a lot of people here ) knows that kind of "trick".

    Ok but how long would survive such app having such a bad behavior? ( let alone be approved by Apple in the 1 st place)

  14. Nope, we should send a newborn, since he never experienced 1G (from day 0).

  15. Since you're program has no line 10, that should end pretty quickly.

    Stackoverflow's help does not mention the button

    Of course because we're not in 1982 anymore, when you see a bunch of buttons, hover the mouse over the button and it'll tell you what it does.

  21. Re:Look at the time investments. on Java Coders Are Getting Bad Security Advice From Stack Overflow (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 2

    To be fair SO is still the best place to find valuable coding tips. Some snobbish Java pros criticize SO for not answering the way those big Java books are written. A 20 lines answer is not sophisticated enough... well it might actually help a lot someone. The level of an answer corresponds to that of the question. A beginner question will likely get an answer for a beginner (not necessarily written by a beginner). As for the obsolete answers, it seems the search engines gives preferably a newer answer - those Java pros might have searched directly from the tags in SO, and found many obsolete questions. Googling a Java question might have given newer results.

    Well, you don't seem to be a dev anyway.

    > I posted some code, but AFAICT I could not just post it in , I had to indent every line by 4 spaces

    There is a button to indent a selection and display that as code.... what's wrong with that? (the rest is text)

    > I clarified why a user was getting an error message, and my answer was marked down because some anal type thought it was a comment not an answer, and new users cannot comment, only answer

    Many new users don't know how to behave, and spam with comments. You need a few reputation points to comment... that's easy to get.

    > I suspect many people with valuable knowledge to impart will have done likewise, and left Slackoverflow to the anal badge collectors that appear to rule it

    Because *you* have valuable knowledge?
