Text Messages from the FUTURE!! BRILLIANT!! It's just like phone calls, ham radio signals, and that movie about dreams from the future! All of those grossed huge sums!!! I have no idea what all the rest you where trying to get at but expect to see this movie in 2012!
Einstein only refined stuff that was already talked about for half a century, but he gets all the credit. So he was no genius in my book.
YOU SEE HERE IS PROOF!!! We need copyright, trademark and Patent protection extended to at least 100 years after the last relative or the owning corporation dies and then only from natural causes and then only on Tuesdays.
In every single case, when someone is required to use Outlook, there is somebody at their organization who made the decision to require them to use it. So my point stands.
O come on now, your point stands only because Outlook is evil and should not have been picked by the boss but that doesn't change the fact that employees are forced to use it and get to enjoy having their email addressee/contacts spread to every Malware, Nigerian, and Spam outfit on earth.
"Anytime soon" is the only part that's in question. Otherwise, as the ancients observed, one of the laws of the universe is Change
People haven't changed that much in 3000 years. The modern world is hardly different from that of Roman times. People might rise up now and again but as soon as they calm down things will always go back to the way they where. It's all the same stuff repeated endlessly.
Greed, Lust, Fear and Envy rule mankind and that isn't going to ever change. People are always going to take their anger out on those they can more so than those who deserve it. They will want the stuff their neighbor has simply because they have it, will wear silly clothing because that's the in thing and do as they are told by their masters.
The masses do as they are told and that will not change for any length of time. Right now they are told told to use Windows. One day it might be Apple but the people in charge will be the same...
It takes courage to imagine something new and different, even when it's something relatively minor like this issue.
It really doesn't take courage to imagine something new or different? Hoping that the majority's nature and their perspective will change any time soon is just silly...
Outlook address books only matter if you use inherently unsafe email software (such as Outlook or Outlook Express)
I say bad luck because a large number of people are forced into using outlook for work and also use it at home since that is what they know.
I don't use outlook and would never dare too but that doesn't change the fact that people are sorta forced into it which is why I choose 85%.
If you really want to be an ass you can just say that 99% of malware and viruses are because people are idoits and should have known not to use X, Y or Z.
I've not had any sort of virus problem since Win98 many years ago.
The old bromide that promises you can't get a computer virus by looking at an image file crumbled a bit further Tuesday when Microsoft announced a critical vulnerability in its software's handling of the ubiquitous JPEG graphics format.
The security hole is a buffer overflow that potentially allows an attacker to craft a special JPEG file that would take control of a victim's machine when the user views it through Internet Explorer, Outlook, Word, and other programs. The poisoned picture could be displayed on a website, sent in email, or circulated on a P2P network.
Somehow I doubt that MS is going to give Notepad the ability to execute code found in a text file.
I fucked your mom again tonight, along with some random drifter she met up at the bar... We heard you come up from the basement for snacks. You really should have said hello...
It's not a matter of being allowed, it's a matter of not wanting to
Then maybe u should have never responded to my first post? You sound like a very conflicted fellow with the not wanting to but then going ahead and doing that very same thing...
I'm sorry but that's crazy talk. If you can't keep their windows free of spyware then it must be your fault.. Microsoft is a huge corp with billions so they must know how computer thingies work. It's all your fault and the fault of the last tech who couldn't help them visit lolcats.... your just trying to make money off them by making them come back over and over for the very same problem.../reality
I doubt it, seeing her grasp on technology is as shaky as your grasp on sarcasm.
No I got it, perhaps I needed to include some sort of indication of such.
Regardless the only reason it doesn't work well at home is that lots of people want to play 3d games on their systems. Your grandmother would do well with such a setup... but you probably don't really have a grandmother....
We already have laws against computer intrusion. The problem is twofold: catching the actual perpetrators, who go to great lengths to conceal their identities; and prosecuting them when they are in other countries/jurisdictions. Protecting the clueless is the same as protecting the children, only it's worse. It's worse because children cannot be other than children, while the clueless could decide that learning is important to them.
Some of them do go to great lengths, most do not but you are right in that there is only so much law enforcement can do so I'll leave it at that.
I think the marketing of most commercial software is partly to blame here. "Easy to use" isn't an inherently bad thing, but it is a disservice to users
I have problems with the way the software is marketed as well. The whole "protect your computer from everything bad with just our product" part is the worst.
I think the real way to deal with this is to put real security into Windows.
That simply will never happen. If it did then there would be anti-trust cases but it doesn't mater as it just won't happen.
Yes there is something you can do, run a base system from a read-only device
That is a good point. using linux to run a Virtual Machine of Windows and then having all of the Bookmarks, Documents, etc, etc pointed back to share's on that linux system while having the VR Windows load from a snapshop does work well. When someone needs to install something new they just need to do a clean boot, install their app and make a new snapshop. This does works in office settings really well.
Since did when did laws prevent the crooks from breaking the law
It doesn't, but putting these people in jail will reduce their numbers but not get rid of the problem completely.

I don't think you quite have the hang of binary (10 would be 2, not 3).
Mommy, what's binary???
, it spreads faster and farther than ever before
Except on /. where it still takes 4 weeks to a year...
Wooosh^n-1
Telnet isn't a secure method to connect to a server....
Well maybe they were getting more optimized. In other words, performing the same or better functions with reduced support material.
Just like Micro$oft Windows!!!

without power. How do you charge your cell phones in that situation
1. Use your car's battery with a car charger made for your cell. /w Built-In Air Compressor, Inverter & DC out.
2. Use your charger with a Car Jump-Starter
3. Use a Hand Crank Flashlight, Radio & Cell Charger
# LS
LS-not found
Yeah, I should have root.
We have renamed LS to listthedirectory to make it harder on hackers, please make a mental note, but not a damn yellow sticky.
Also root is now called ~!ExtremeAdminAccount!~ (case sensitive, please use this when logging in via telnet from home.)

Anyway... yeah...
Yes, you are.
I fucked your mom last night...
My 86 year old grandmother will be pleased as punch to hear this!!
Will she understand any of it???
You can browse the web with Java,Java Script,Flash,etc etc
I see, you're twelve years old and don't understand how to wite yet. Never mind then.
I'm not, but if I was, why would it mater? Are you not allowed to talk with them by court order or something?
